In this guide, we&#8217;ve explained why every new mattress is worth careful thought and attention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Quality sleep for better health<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bupa.co.uk\/newsroom\/ourviews\/benefits-good-night-sleep\">benefits of sleep<\/a> can&#8217;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<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we&#8217;re comfortable on our mattress, we&#8217;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.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why choose a double bed?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if your children are still young, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.happybeds.co.uk\/beds\/double-4-6-x-6-3\">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<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Multipurpose and futureproof designs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If they move to university and only need their old bedroom on an occasional basis, you can turn the space into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idealhome.co.uk\/bedroom\/bedroom-ideas\/guest-bedroom-design-ideas-87718\">flexible guest suite<\/a>, for example.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which is the best mattress for children?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Modern children&#8217;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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These innovations make a double bed even more inviting and worthwhile, but it&#8217;s still worth thinking about your child&#8217;s age and developmental stage. For very young children, a waterproof mattress topper is essential!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are lots of trends out there \u2013 from the Emma to the Simba Hybrid\u00ae mattress \u2013 but don&#8217;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":"<p>Helping your child get uninterrupted sleep won&#8217;t just happen overnight.&nbsp; Creating a comfortable bedroom setup and practising sleep hygiene are two of the most important factors to consider, but the quality of their mattress&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7853,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gardenadvice.co.uk\/newsandarticles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gardenadvice.co.uk\/newsandarticles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gardenadvice.co.uk\/newsandarticles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gardenadvice.co.uk\/newsandarticles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gardenadvice.co.uk\/newsandarticles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gardenadvice.co.uk\/newsandarticles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gardenadvice.co.uk\/newsandarticles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gardenadvice.co.uk\/newsandarticles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gardenadvice.co.uk\/newsandarticles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gardenadvice.co.uk\/newsandarticles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
