A good, deep sleep is immensely important for the health of your baby or child. A high-quality mattress is the best helper. We have put together for you how you can recognize the perfect mattress for your child, what you should pay attention to when buying a baby bed, and how you can achieve the greatest possible sleeping comfort.
Choosing a mattress for your child is not as complicated as it initially seems. Don't let the unmanageable offers confuse you, but rather follow the following advice.
Support and protect your spine
Toddlers grow quickly, their bodies change and develop. It is important that you choose an age-appropriate sleeping surface to meet your child's needs. Especially in the first few years of life, it is important that your toddler sleeps in a bed with a firm surface. Why is that so important? After birth , the spine does not yet have its typical double S shape, but is initially stretched. Since the child spends the first time lying down, this meets the requirements. However, a change occurs during the first year of life. When the head is raised from the prone position, the cervical spine is hyperextended; with the first attempts to sit, the weight on the back creates a curved spine. However, the supporting apparatus is still too weak to straighten the rounded back. Only in crawling age do the back muscles slowly become stronger. In order to best support the development of a newborn's spine, it is important that the mattress adapts to the curves of the body, but still supports - and therefore protects - in every sleeping position. For older children, the mattresses must meet other requirements.
Pleasant to the skin
Babies and toddlers sleep a lot. This means they spend most of the day in their bed. That's why a healthy sleeping environment is particularly important. That's why we pay attention to natural materials that won't irritate your baby's sensitive skin. We only use organic materials that do not contain chemicals. Our mattresses are breathable and prevent excessive sweating - in all four seasons. The removable covers are easy to change and wash.
Bed and mattress - an unbeatable duo
Bed and mattress should be an ideal match. That's why we advise against buying used mattresses. There are two reasons for this. On the one hand, used mattresses are hygienically questionable and the risk of allergies increases. On the other hand, there is an increased risk potential for babies and small children. When the mattress and bed are not aligned, gaps arise that can lead to dangerous injuries.
Healthy sleep for healthy development
A good, deep sleep is like a fountain of youth, and not just for adults. It is especially important for your child’s development and health. Because we know how important a perfect sleeping environment is, all the materials we use are of natural origin and guaranteed to be free of chemicals - and therefore gentle on sensitive skin. Our mattresses also offer the perfect support for your child's spine and ensure a healthy sleep.
