A child spends more hours on a mattress than on any other object they own. It is worth an afternoon of attention.
Start with emissions, not labels
Most polyurethane foams off-gas volatile organic compounds, heavily in the first weeks and at a declining rate after. Look for testing under OEKO-TEX or CertiPUR-style schemes, and unwrap the mattress in a ventilated room for several days before use.
Materials, ranked by longevity
Natural latex over pocket springs generally outlasts foam by years and can be re-covered. Solid foam is cheapest and shortest lived.
Fire retardants
Wool acts as a natural barrier and avoids brominated chemistry entirely. Ask what a manufacturer uses; if they will not say, that is your answer.
What to ignore
Thickness above roughly 16 cm adds little for a child. So does anything described as orthopaedic without a clinical citation.
Frequently asked
- Is latex safe for children with allergies?
- Natural latex allergy is rare but real. If there is a known allergy in the family, choose pocket springs with a wool cover.
