Kids Mattresses

Kids' Mattresses for Older Children

Do the older children in your family still need convincing that bedtime isn't the worst time of day? Crate & Kids can help cement your argument with our selection of kids' mattresses. Not only soft and comfortable, these mattresses for kids are also either GREENGUARD Gold or CertiPUR-US certified—meaning in either case that they've been tested for emissions, VOCs and thousands of chemicals. If you're unsure of where to start when selecting a kids' mattress, we've got you covered with a high-level overview of what to be on the lookout for below.

Kids' Mattress Sizes

When it comes to deciding on which mattress size to get your child, it's fairly straightforward. Kids' twin mattresses are ideal for little ones who have just started sleeping in a twin bed. On average, they last for at least five years (the perfect accommodation for your ever growing sprout) and have standard dimensions of 38"W x 75"L. Full mattresses for kids, meanwhile, last longer into childhood, are the ideal fit for their full-sized bed frame and work well in homes that have plenty of space. The standard dimensions here are 54"W x 75"L. Families that are forward thinking may want to consider queen beds for kids as an option instead, since they last well into the tween/teen years. The standard dimensions for the kids' queen-sized mattresses that fit these beds are 60"W x 80"L.

Features and Extras for Children's Mattresses

As mentioned above the children's mattresses at Crate & Kids go through a rigorous testing process to ensure that they're safe for the entire family. Any kids' mattress with the GREENGUARD Gold certified icon means that it's been tested for at least 300 VOCs and 10,000 chemicals. Likewise for foam mattresses with the CertiPUR-US denotation. These have also been tested to ensure a low VOC count, as well as to make sure they're free of harmful chemicals and heavy metals, like phthalates, formaldehyde and methylene, as well as mercury and lead.
