<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helping your child get uninterrupted sleep won’t just happen overnight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a comfortable bedroom setup and practising sleep hygiene are two of the most important factors to consider, but the quality of their mattress also matters immensely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From choosing the right size to finding the most suitable materials, there’s a lot to think about if you’re buying a new one. In this guide, we’ve explained why every new mattress is worth careful thought and attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality sleep for better health<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staying comfortable overnight naturally helps us to achieve a better quality of sleep. And this is so important in shaping our overall physical and emotional wellbeing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of sleep<\/a> can’t be underestimated: it affects our ability to recover from illness, to maintain a healthy weight, and strengthen our immune systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we’re comfortable on our mattress, we’ll be more likely to sleep deeply without waking up tossing and turning. And when the materials facilitate that perfect temperature, our bodily processes will be carried out more efficiently during sleep.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why choose a double bed?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most adults find that a double bed gives them the space they need to sleep comfortably. However, choosing this for younger members of the family could also allow for better growing room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A double bed offers extra sleeping space that accommodates children\u2019s growth spurts and changing sleep habits. Having a little bit more space at night helps them to avoid cramped, restless nights as they get older. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if your children are still young, investing in a double bed early will facilitate long\u2011term use<\/a>\u2014and save on multiple upgrades too. You can keep your child comfortable and make things more cost-effective for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multipurpose and futureproof designs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond just sleep, a double bed can serve as a comfy spot for reading, playing or weekend sleepovers. Later on, convert easily into a cosy guest bed as your child moves into their teens or the bedroom\u2019s purpose changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If they move to university and only need their old bedroom on an occasional basis, you can turn the space into a flexible guest suite<\/a>, for example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the right frame is key here. If your child prioritises storage, you might need to go for an ottoman-style frame with ample space for belongings underneath the mattress. However, you can also find frames with pull-out mattresses underneath, perfect for sleepovers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which is the best mattress for children?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern children’s mattresses are being praised for delivering comfort comparable to adult mattresses, with features such as breathability, spinal support, and reduced night\u2011time wake\u2011ups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These innovations make a double bed even more inviting and worthwhile, but it’s still worth thinking about your child’s age and developmental stage. For very young children, a waterproof mattress topper is essential!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are lots of trends out there \u2013 from the Emma to the Simba Hybrid\u00ae mattress \u2013 but don’t just follow the marketing. Visit stores together and allow them to test out different types. Your time and effort will be rewarded with a comfortable, fulfilled and well-rested child!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
