People spend a large amount of time in their beds. As we all must sleep each and every night, it adds up. In fact, we spend 1/3 of our entire lives in bed. Sleep is extremely important. It refreshes us, makes us ready for each new day. That's why getting the perfect mattress is not a matter of luxury, it's a necessity. However, when it comes to purchasing a bed for a child, it's a different matter than purchasing a mattress for yourself. Children have different requirements.
When it comes down to it, it's a matter of weight and comfort, and also how much use a mattress will get. An adult is fully grown; a child is not, so it's important that he or she gets the right kind of support during their formative years. This means that parents shouldn't buy the cheapest thing they can get their hands on that will only last five years. A child can keep the same mattress usually for ten years. That doesn't mean you should buy a mattress that costs a few thousand dollars, but you probably want to stay away from that used mattress for 0 that you found on Craigslist.
Twin Size Mattress
A twin mattress is the usual choice for a child. The traditional twin mattress measures 39" x 75". Beyond that, there is a lot of variety in the market, which can make the choice somewhat daunting. There are four main types of popular mattresses. The interior sprung mattress consists of interlocking springs which form support; these are then covered by padding and lining. Quality and pricing varies greatly.
Pocket sprung mattresses consist of non-interlocked springs; each spring has its own separate compartment; this gives the bed greater flexibility and it's usually more comfortable than an interior sprung mattress.
Orthopedic foam mattresses are made out of dense layers of foam; these provide good support.
Memory foam mattresses contour to your body.
Consider the materials. Avoid mattresses that are coated or contain polyurethane foam, eco foam, PVC and chemical retardants. These can be potentially dangerous for your child if he or she is in contact with them for an extended period of time. This is known as out gassing. The chemicals can actually contain toxic carcinogens which leak over time.
It's better to go with organic and non toxic materials. These include mattresses made out of organic wool, which is naturally mite resistant and fire retardant, pure latex and organic contain are also excellent choices. There are certain certifications or standards such as GreenGuard and Healthy Child Healthy World which grade mattresses.
Generally, pediatricians recommend mattresses on the firmer side to aid in support and bone growth.
When shopping for your child's mattress, keep in mind that higher prices don't necessarily mean a better mattress. Do look out for sales and make sure that you can return your mattress if it doesn't work out. Research your options thoroughly. Ask about guarantees and warranties. Don't be afraid to bargain the price. Test the mattress before you buy it.

Black Friday Luna Premium Hypoallergenic Waterproof Mattress Protector - Twin Size - Made In The USA Overview
Enjoy peace of mind knowing your mattress is protected from liquid spills, urine, dust mites and allergens by applying a Luna Mattress Protector. Luna Premium American Made waterproof mattress protectors are of the highest quality and carry a full replacement 10 year warranty. As many have found out, once an unprotected mattress is soiled by fluids, it's nearly impossible to fully remove. A soiled mattress can result in an unsanitary environment for you and your family and may even ruin your mattress altogether. If liquids are ever spilled onto the mattress, simply remove the protector and place directly into the washing machine. Luna premium mattress protectors are also a must have for those suffering from allergy triggers such as pollen, mold, dust mites and fungus. Luna protectors prevent allergy triggers from passing through the membrane material while still allowing the mattress to breathe. Periodically wash the mattress protector, like you would your sheets, and you'll be able to effectively remove allergy causing triggers that may be resting on the surface of the protector. Luna mattress protectors work by using premium cotton terry bonded with a hypoallergenic waterproof membrane base layer. To enable the mattress to still breathe, Luna utilizes an exclusive Airflow Technology made up of proprietary microscopic pores in the membrane layer. These pores allow air to pass through while preventing liquids and dust mites from penetrating. The protector's ability to breathe extends the life of the mattress and also works to control temperature preventing our protectors from sleeping hot. Fitted sheet style elastic sides are then attached making it a perfect fit for any mattress profile. As mentioned above, all Luna products are exclusively made in the USA and contain no PVC's or phthalates.SAVE NOW on Black Friday offers below!
