I wonder, and you came to mind that the mattress, this is almost the only purchase that you take only for a child? It is because of this, parents have difficulty when choosing such an important detail.

Indeed, think about yourself – choosing a crib, stroller, baby clothes you can navigate at least your taste preferences or functionality / convenience of selected items.

The choice of the mattress is hampered by the fact that you will not be able to navigate in appearance, form or color, you can not even go to the mattress and determine the degree of its convenience because you have a different weight with the baby, and, accordingly, you will have different sensations.

What should be considered when choosing?

Mattresses are several types:

one. Blocks:

• With spring block (dependent) – such types of mattresses on sale will no longer meet, since their negative impact on the human musculoskeletal system is proved.
• With independent spring block (orthopedic) – in such mattresses springs have different sizes, if one spring fails, it does not affect the rest.
• With a blackboard – These types of mattresses also belong to orthopedic, because they provide the correct position of the kid during sleep.

2. Materials:

Modern materials from which high quality mattresses are manufactured: Natural Latex Silicone, Tempur, Coconut Coyra. Gain popularity Children’s mattresses from algae. All materials applied must be hypoallergenic and antibacterial.

Thanks to the use of high-quality natural materials, mattresses:

• Perfect air;
• Do not absorb smells;
• Not heated in summer;
• Keep warm in winter.

3. Stiffness:

This selection criterion is determined based on the age of your baby.

• Medium hardness or hard – The mattress is suitable for children from 0 to three years, Since before this age, the kids are formed by S-shaped spine and a hard mattress will not impede it.

• More Soft mattresses suitable for kids older than three years.

4. Mattress dimensions:

• Must coincide with the size of the bed, because the larger size of the mattress leads to its deformation, and, accordingly, to the loss of orthopedic properties.
• If the mattress is less than the crib, it can cause a crawling of a baby into the resulting gaps, causing him discomfort.
• If the baby’s bed has non-standard sizes – you might think about ordering the mattress with the necessary dimensions – such a service can be used, for example, in the online store – any mattress you like will produce the sizes you need.

five. Mattress or cover coating:

Must be made of natural breathable materials. Better if the case is removable – from hygienic considerations.

6. Mattress manufacturers:

A very important point when choosing a mattress, because as in any other area – producers mass, and only one needs to choose.

The most popular manufacturers at the moment are:

• Ascona;
• Beech master;
• Dream Line;
• Vegas;
• Violant;
• Consul;
• Sleep Master;
• Lordfleks

Whatever mattress manufacturers for your baby you have not chosen, the main thing is to remember that the children’s mattress is not the point where you can save, choose a high-quality proven product, since the correct position during sleep is the guarantee of excellent mood and healthy child development.

Anna:

When the first child (12 years old) «dowry» bought, I did not bother at all on the mattress – he got to us from the sister. And now the child has scoliosis – the doctor said that because of the wrong mattress. I am pregnant and this time we will come to the selection of the mattress thoroughly.

Oleg:

The mattress is better to choose bilateral and turn over after 23 months – so it will last longer. And in no case do not save on the mattress – think about your child!!!

Marina:

The selection of the mattress helped us determine your own experience – a few years ago we bought the mattress and are still very pleased. So buy a mattress for the daughter decided exactly this company. Chose Comfort EVS-8 Ormatek.  Did not like the smell of the mattress – weathered a month almost. Orthopedic properties to evaluate – I can not, because I myself do not sleep on it, but my daughter sleeps serene.

Arina:

The unpleasant smell accurately makes glue which is simply necessary for gluing the layers of the mattress – its presence indicates that you have just made the mattress. The smell of glue will disappear very quickly, but the orthopedic properties will remain!))) I know because herself found out this question – we too «smelling» bought.
