Rating of the best children's mattresses for 2022

The sight of a sleeping baby is always tender. However, in order for the child’s rest to be comfortable and serene, you need to properly arrange the crib. The choice of mattress plays a very special role in this matter, since it is responsible for the formation of the spine. About what are the basics for a baby bed, possible mistakes and what you need to pay attention to first of all, we will analyze in this review.

Detailed characteristics of models

There is no clear prescription on how to choose a children's mattress, since all criteria are dictated by the size of the crib, as well as the need for correct posture that arises with the growth of the child, since the anatomical S-shaped deflection of the baby's spine is finally formed only at 3 years. To date, the following types are popular.

1. Rigid springless designs - suitable for newly born babies. They can also be used at a later age, until the development of the musculoskeletal system is completed.
2. Children between 4 and 5 years of age are usually highly active and have rapid weight changes. In this case, the option with independent spring blocks is preferable. This option consists of several elastic bases compressing separately from each other. This allows you to evenly distribute the load on the vertebrae, guaranteeing a comfortable and correct placement of the body.
3. For schoolchildren aged 7-12, rest on models of medium hardness or with an independent spring block can contribute to the formation of the musculoskeletal system.
4. But teenagers from the age of 12 can already use soft "adult" models. For 2022 they are produced:

• with a dependent or free spring block, such products are distinguished by several elastic systems at once - “bonnel”, which are connected to each other;
• springless - such options completely lack a tight frame, and support is provided by latex, coconut coir or special foam.

Equally important is the height of the product. The main role here is played by the age and weight of the baby.

Number of years	Body mass	Density
0 to 3 years old	3-12 kg	5 or 12 cm
From 3 to 7 years old	13-25 kg	10 or 15 cm
7 - 12 years old	25-49 kg	10 or 20 cm
from 12 years old	from 45 kg	15 to 20 cm or more

Quality characteristics of the filler

1. Coconut fiber is a natural component of tropical nut shells impregnated with natural latex. Such an addition prevents the base from crumbling, forming a pressed plate. The material creates a smooth breathable surface. This option is suitable even for newborn babies.
2. The lining with a linen base has an orthopedic effect, and natural fibers do not interfere with air circulation.
3. Latex. The material is obtained from the sap of the hevea tree. Options are of medium hardness.
4. Polyurethane foam is the basis of artificial origin, which has become a modern eco-friendly solution for cribs. The surface of such a mattress has a slight relief, creating a light massage effect.
5. Ecofoam (EcoFoam) - characteristics similar to latex, but not as voluminous. For 2022, it is increasingly used in children's mattresses.
6. Holkon is a synthetic filler consisting of vertical fibers similar to a spiral. It will spring slightly, creating a cozy orthopedic surface.
7. Memory Foam - foam that remembers the shape of the body. Products with such a filler are soft and pleasant to the touch. And since the material is very soft, it is most often used as another layer.
8. Struttofiber - is a mixture of synthetic fibers. The material has a stiffness suitable for the child's spine, allowing you to achieve an orthopedic effect.
9. Bikokos - combined walnut fiber boards with artificial fillers. They have good rigidity and do not interfere with air circulation. However, the material is quite fragile and the activity of the baby can lead to cracking.

Cotton or wool options are best avoided, as bacteria actively multiply in them.

Orthopedic analogues, as well as optimal parameters

An important condition for a properly made child's bed is the compliance of the mattress with the dimensions of the bed. In the case when they are larger than the bed itself, the model may sag and lose its basic qualities. And if the size is insufficient, it will form gaps, creating inconvenience for the baby, and may even cause injury. Therefore, before proceeding with the choice, it is important to measure the bed as correctly as possible, and also to check with the seller that the model matches the declared figures.

Age	Options
Since birth	60x120 to 60x140 cm
3 to 7 years old	60x140 to 90x200 cm
At 7-12	70x120 cm
From 12 years old	You can use adult mattresses for single beds

It should also be understood that children grow up quite quickly and it is preferable to purchase a product with or without dependent spring blocks, so to speak, for growth. Such foresight will save you the hassle of replacing it in a few years, saving the family budget. However, if the baby already has problems with the musculoskeletal system, the purchase of models with the correct anatomical support, or rather medical options, will be of great importance. These analogues have a pronounced orthopedic effect, contributing to the optimal position of the back for the correction of the vertebrae. Based on the diagnosis, experts often advise:

• with scoliosis - a springless latex analogue with moderate rigidity is recommended;
• for children with a disease of the thoracic region, options with high and medium elasticity are suitable;
• with osteochondrosis of the lower back - bases with moderate softness and independent spring blocks.

These tips are only general and recommendations from the attending physician are required.

What to focus on when choosing

1. An important requirement for the basis for a child's bed is hygiene. In this case, it means not only the absence of toxicity in the textures used in the composition. As well as the ability to absorb moisture, thereby preventing the growth of bacteria.
2. The casing is no less important for proper sleep. The cover protects the bases from early deformation, preventing dust and moisture particles from accumulating in the base. Therefore, experts advise choosing options for cribs in which you can remove and wash the cover.
3. To achieve greater comfort and guarantee additional protection for the child's bed, it is good to use waterproof mattress toppers.
4. When choosing, it is worth considering the very design of the bed, so for a bed with sides you need to select a higher instance.
5. But not so big options are suitable for a bunk or loft bed.
6. Stroller boots are used less often, which is why you should not buy very expensive models.
7. It is equally important to consider the type of glue with which the layers are fastened together. At the moment, 4 compositions are used to create sticky substances:

• combustible - it is better to refuse such mattresses, glue is produced on the basis of toxic acetone;
• flame-retardant - or melt. There are no toxins in this composition, but a high temperature is required to apply the latter;
• for children, mattresses with water-based glue are most preferred.

And what is the result

As can be seen from this rating of children's mattresses, combined models are very popular with consumers. The buyer also more often chooses a springless version than the same classic one on dependent springs. Significant importance is also attached to naturalness, along with the absence of allergic reactions to the composition. And since the mattress is purchased for a long time, the age of the future owner of the novelty is also important when choosing it.

If the baby is calm enough, a model with spring blocks will fit perfectly. But for fidgets, regardless of age, it is better to buy an option without such connections. And although recently it has become fashionable to order everything in an online store, it would be preferable to evaluate the quality of the filler, the degree of elasticity of the model, as well as the height of the product.If there is no opportunity to go to a specialized store, it is better to choose resources with detailed photos and product descriptions. And most importantly - before you make a purchase of a children's mattress, no matter in a crib or stroller, you should consult with a pediatrician and carefully study the reviews of already experienced buyers. And the above tips will help you in the difficult task of choosing when creating the most comfortable bed for your baby.
