Mattress for children's bed

Hello,

I want to buy new beds and also new mattresses for my two children. I have found out that there are mattresses that are especially suitable for children and adolescents. In this case, the cold foam mattresses are suitable.

What is your opinion on this? Which mattress can you perhaps recommend? Have you already tried cold foam mattresses?

Thank you in advance for the answers!

What kind of mattresses did you grow up on? Especially for children who are not significantly overweight, it often only plays a minor role. It should not be too soft; everything else, in my opinion, is marketing.

Last week we bought a mattress for our baby crib, unbelievable what they try to sell you... mattresses with silver threads, antibacterial... whatever you can imagine.

Since this is about mattresses for non-infants, go to a mattress store and ask to see mid-range models, or in any case, take your children with you. If it is really that important to you, and the people in the store know their job, your child will have to try it out anyway. Although with children, you can't really fix anything, they will grow anyway :)

So I grew up without problems on standard mattresses of those times. You always have to keep in mind that a large part of humanity doesn't even have mattresses... in China, for example, it's only been a short time that people buy mattresses, and they have no posture problems :)

That’s not what I meant.

In China, there are mattresses, even cheap ones, but people sometimes simply don’t want them. What I meant is that a mattress shouldn’t have the importance that the industry assigns to it.

Sure, if you don’t move as an adult and already have posture problems, a mattress eventually becomes a kind of medical brace, but children don’t need that. Medical indication aside.

Today everything is rated on the internet and apparently viewed professionally. That makes sense for TVs and cameras, but you have to touch a mattress and put your children on it. If they like the feeling of lying down, and the specialist briefly looks at the spine, that’s exactly the mattress you should buy. Your children then feel like they chose the mattress themselves.

I, and probably you too, have slept on mattresses that our parents gave us. And probably they didn’t ask back then whether it was a good one, but just bought one from the narrow selection.
Back then I still had those three-part mattresses; if you ask a mattress dealer today, they’d say: are you crazy .. nobody does that anymore.
But generations of people grew up healthy on the mattresses back then :D

I hope it’s clearer now what I wanted to say. I didn’t want to offend you or hurt your feelings in any way.

Ok, all right. Thank you very much for your answer :-)

I would definitely seek advice, as there are very different mattresses. For my child, I purchased a mattress online (after thorough consultation), with which we are very satisfied.

we also took very simple mattresses. Due to the low weight of the little mouse, this is not yet so important. Later, one should think about better mattresses. What is told in [the trade] is then just a sales gimmick
