Toddlers deserve to be provided a comfortable place to sleep on. Therefore, in buying a mattress for toddlers, one must be equipped with the proper information and/or guidelines so as not to end up with an unsuitable one. Let me discuss to you the different kinds of mattresses.
1. A luxurious mattress. It may look nice and comfortable but is not advisable. A baby must have a good support for her back which this mattress may not be able to provide.
2. A firm mattress. Providing your toddler with a firm mattress will save him for future problems on his lumbar area.
3. Memory foams. They are also known as visco-elastic polyurethane foam. Their thickness ranges from 5 pounds or over, which is quite excellent but may be too hard. Although the 4-pound thickness is called a low-quality mattress, it gives people a comfortable kind of sleep.
4. Latex foam. This kind of mattress has a density of only 4 pounds. The combined solidity and luxury of this mattress would be the best choice for your toddler.
However, another feature that should be looked into is its being non or hypo allergenic. We know very well that a toddler's skin is very sensitive. The chemicals which are often used by manufacturers to make their mattress better can be rough to your toddler's skin. Most memory foams use softer and kinder alternates to make it safer to use.
The latex mattress is also known for its being hypoallergenic. This mattress makes use of the sap taken from rubber trees making it the best suitable mattress for your baby. One thing you need to bear in mind in buying a mattress is not just the cost but of course, the quality. It is still better to invest into a high-quality mattress that will give your baby a restful sleep.
