Back health and good quality sleep for your growing child is incredibly important. Read on for our advice on choosing the right mattress, that they won’t outgrow too quickly.

How to choose the right children’s mattress

Sleep is so important for children. Good quality sleep means they’ll grow better, have a stronger immune system and even do better at school. So it’s important to choose a good quality, supportive children’s mattress, small single mattress or single mattress. For children, the firmness of the mattress is a matter of preference exactly as it is with adults. Let them test out a few to see what they find suits them best.
