Children's orthopedic mattress How to choose the right one?

When choosing, be sure to take into account 2 facts: firstly, newborns are prone to allergic reactions, and secondly, their bones are quickly subject to deformation.

And most importantly, sleep is a process of growth and development for the baby. Therefore, nothing should not disturb the idyll of this super important process.

What should I pay attention to?

Before buying a children's orthopedic mattress, pay attention to the degree of rigidity and springs. The mattress should adapt to the posture and shape of the child's body and evenly distribute the load on the skeleton. The thickness of the mattress should not exceed 5-6 cm. The filler, as well as the springs, affects the degree of rigidity of the child's orthopedic mattress. “The “inner world” of the sleeping place should be absolutely hypoallergenic, to prevent the risk of allergic reactions. It is absolutely not necessary that the children's orthopedic mattress was filled with natural fibers. Modern materials are characterized by high durability, quality and are harmless to children.

Why do I need an orthopedic mattress?

A baby's spine requires correct posture. A child's orthopedic mattress is the foundation of an even and good posture. That is why the mattress should be firm and rigid.

Up to 3 years old. Unlike adults who like to lie down “where it is softer”, babies and children up to three years old need the best orthopedic mattresses of medium or increased rigidity. It is at this age that the S-shaped curve of their spine is formed. Therefore, it is very important that the child sleeps on a rigid and springless mattress, but here, too, the main thing is not to overdo it. Too hard burn can cause discomfort and insomnia in the child, so a child's orthopedic mattress should be covered with a layer of soft material.

From the age of 3. A child over 3 years old can sleep on a softer surface.

Here you can already choose both springless and spring mattresses, but the filler must remain rigid and hold the shape of the product. Options with cotton and foam mattresses can lead to the appearance of bacteria and allergic reactions.
Children's spring orthopedic mattresses. These orthopedic mattresses are suitable for preschool children, and for newborns you can consider a moderately hard mattress.

They come in two types: with a “bonnel” block and an independent spring block.

What is the difference between them?

The first option is an orthopedic mattress with a dependent spring block “Bonnell” with connected springs. By affecting one part of the mattress, all elements are affected. The continuous connection between the springs keeps the shape of the sleeping place, so the probability that the child can roll off the mattress to the floor is very small.

Of the disadvantages - uneven distribution of the load, the mattress can not repeat the contours of the body.

The second option is a children's orthopedic mattress with an independent spring block.

When loading, each spring acts according to an individual program, so the weak spine of the baby always takes an equal horizontal position. Children's orthopedic mattress with independent spring block does not sag or squeak.

Children's springless orthopedic mattresses.

The main advantage is protection from magnetic and electrostatic effects on the body, because they do not contain metal. One of the common fillers is coconut coir.

The natural fiber from coconut has hypoallergenic properties.

Coconut coir is porous but firm, which causes air to circulate in the mattress. An ideal microclimate is formed inside: in summer the mattress does not heat up, and in winter it keeps the optimal temperature. Sleeping on a children's orthopedic mattress made of coconut coir is recommended for children from birth to 2 years old. The sleeping place will ensure the proper development of the baby's bone system. The latex filling is a natural and very durable material. Like the previous option, children's orthopedic mattress from latex has antifungal and anti-allergenic properties. Impregnated with latex coconut fibers provide durability of the product, repeats the shape of the body and is suitable for children over 2 years old.

A budget version of the filler is polyurethane foam. It is an artificial latex substitute with fire-safe and hypoallergenic properties.

Children's orthopedic mattress made of polyurethane foam is usually of medium firmness. Excellent for children from 7 years old, supporting the physiological processes of the growing body.

Size of children's orthopedic mattress. Carefully measure the area of the crib. Choose a mattress exactly according to the size, otherwise - the product will need to either compress, then there will be bumps or in the case of undersizing - slits will be formed and your baby can be injured.
