Hi Pete,
I am looking for a full size mattress to my 3 year old boy.
I have no idea which kind is good for him. I just know the firmer, the better.
I hope you can recommend a good quality mattress for him that is equal to his growing and protecting his backbone.
Thank you very much, Lil
Hi Lil,
A body requires a combination of firm support and a comfortable surface to sleep deeply. The deeper the night’s sleep, the more rested and prepared you are to face the day. He’ll soon need that depth of sleep to absorb all the information that a school age child is given.
“The firmer, the better” won’t do that.
The firm, contouring support of an individually pocketed coiled mattress provides the type of support that will maintain the natural alignment of the body and spine. Pure, organic, hypoallergenic Latex foam upholstery will provide the comfort to sleep deeply…and do so over the course of many years. It’s what will make this the only mattress he’ll need to see him through until he’s grown and gone.
Such a mattress needs to be well made, but not expensive, since it’ll be another decade before he starts to put on any real body weight.
My best recommendation for your needs is the Eco-Terra Hybrid Mattress.
