Criteria for choosing a mattress

Parameters and thickness

Ought to be a match for the size and age of the crib. The thickness of the mattress for a newborn child of 7 - 12 cm, not more.

This is taken into account to ensure better protection of the baby. In the course of growing up, with three years to increase the thickness of 20 cm. the principle of proportionality and the crib mattress is also saved. Mattresses for children and adolescents are the default settings:

1) 120 * 60 cm - for 0-1 years

2) 140 * 70 cm - 1-5 years

3) 160 * 80 cm - for 5-11 years

4) 190-200 cm d, 80-130 cm w - for teens

Rigidity

Since children are born with a non-formed straight without an S-shaped curvature of the spine, and it develops only three years, significantly to find the mattress to the desired stiffness. Doctors, of course, prohibit the child to sleep on a soft bed of years old in order to prevent bending of the vertebrae. Better for that life span to stop the election on a hard or moderately hard mattress for a child. There are different types of two-sided mattresses stiffness around. Up to one years old baby sniffs safely on the hard part, but with a half years after the coup bed sleeping on the softer side. Stiffness and moderate hardness is shown to children under seven years of age and older, this mattress will not hurt and will help create good posture and strong bones. At the age of seven years already great fit with memory foam mattresses.

fillers

Fillers provide rigidity, environmental friendliness, comfort and contentment sleep mattress. Entirely natural composition of the filler is not needed Contrary to popular understanding. Allergy trigger is natural ingredients. Best variation will make the combined type of mattress. For example, coconut coir c latex or foam. One that is able to breathe and does not contribute to allergies. It should to no filler exuded harmful vapors. In this segment, known fillers such as cotton, latex, hollofayber, linen, wool, foam, coconut coir. But there are very natural, allergenic components among them. Wool, for example. Such materials plan as felt, wood shavings, straw, after several leaks can sopret and subjected to destruction. Coir eventually rolls, forming a bumpy surface, or if not met appropriate storage conditions, can rot and allocate resin. All of this should be taken into account when choosing.

impregnation

The child will be extremely beneficial, and even by the standards necessary if the cover and filling of processed special impregnations such as antimicrobial, antifungal, protivokleschevye, dustproof, Fire. These data indicate on the package label mattress for a child.

Surface

If one must intelligently choose the mattress for the baby, it is worth a closer look at its surface. Cheap models pouch sewn from simple and rather weak tissues that suddenly torn. For example, calico. The best cover for a mattress jacquard recognized consisting of a mixture of cotton and synthetics. Such a case will last much longer.

Two-sided mattress "winter-summer", their advantages

Pragmatic solution when choosing mattresses are bilateral. One side of which is made of insulated material, and the other of the cooler, but good air impermeable. Winter part is made of wool. It perfectly repels phlegm and insulating components perfectly retain heat. Jacquard is better suited for the part of the summer. He is breathable, has a non-slip surface, water resistance. Two filler typically combined winter-summer mattresses. In the winter side - latex. In the summer part is the cause of coconut coir. Versatility is the main advantage of these mattresses. In such models side surfaces of different degrees of rigidity. When the crumb will grow, and it will be uncomfortable to sleep on the rigidity of Coco Nut, the mattress can be turned on the elastic surface of the latex.

Spring and springless mattresses

Children sleep on the surface of the spring is not the best option. The reason for this hesitation springs adversely affecting the child's body. On the growth of the body to the period of twenty-five years old sleep best on a mattress without springs. You can then pick up the spring, memory foam mattresses as well as bone system formed, and no hesitation springs are no longer affected. At the time of growth of the body taut and rigid surface is the right choice. It fits the emerging skeleton and prevents diseases of support - motor system. Another advantage of the children's mattress springless is maintaining a stable of child labor as a fun jump on the bed.

But among the models with springs cost distinguish children's mattresses with spring-dependent and independent spring block. The difference between them in the form of springs connecting between the blocks. Classic spring mattresses do not give orthopedic efficiency and preferably cots are not used. Independent box spring mattresses orthopedic makes them, but to sleep in a little age on them is not recommended. For teenagers mattress with independent springs block support the spine, evenly distributed load and give a wonderful orthopedic effect, but be sure to use with a focus on moderate hardness. Springless models for medical reasons are adolescents suffering from diseases of the spine, musculoskeletal system, blood circulation.

Cotton and foam mattresses
