Kids Mattresses

The Right Mattress for Every Age — From Baby to Teen

What a child needs from a mattress changes as they grow. For babies, choose a cot mattress that fits the cot correctly and follow the cot and mattress manufacturer's safety guidance. For older children, consider comfort, support, materials and the correct fit for the bed frame. By the teen years, size and personal comfort preferences may become more important. Always check the individual product specifications before choosing.

What to Look for in a Children's Mattress

When choosing a children's mattress, consider the correct size, comfort level, materials and care requirements. For cot mattresses, follow the cot and mattress manufacturer's safety guidance. For older children, compare the available firmness and construction options with their comfort needs. If allergies or sensitive skin are a concern, check whether the individual product is described as hypoallergenic. A mattress protector can also help with everyday spills and cleaning.

Kids Mattress Size Guide

Getting the size right first time helps avoid returns. Urban Sales offers NZ-standard and selected global-size mattresses, so always compare the mattress dimensions with the bed frame's internal measurements. Also check the maximum mattress depth for bunk or loft beds so the guardrails can work as intended.
