Shop Kids Mattresses by Type
Kids Spring Mattresses: An open coil spring mattress is a reliable, affordable starting point for a kids single mattress. Our Ethan Spring Mattress uses an open coil build with a micro-quilted cover, giving a bouncier, more traditional feel at a lower price point than pocket sprung or memory foam options.
Kids Pocket Sprung Mattresses: A kids pocket sprung mattress uses individually wrapped springs that move independently, offering more targeted support across the body than an open coil design. Our Theo Pocket Spring Mattress is built this way, giving a firmer, more supportive feel that’s well suited to active sleepers.
Kids Memory Foam Mattresses: A kids memory foam mattress contours to the body and helps relieve pressure points, which can be especially useful for children who sleep on their side. Our Noah Memory Foam Spring Mattress combines an open coil spring base with a memory foam layer on top, blending support with a softer sleeping surface.
Orthopaedic Mattress for Kids: An orthopaedic mattress for kids is built with firmer support throughout, designed to keep the spine properly aligned through the night. Our Clay Orthopaedic Spring Mattress is a tufted, firm mattress for kids that suits growing bodies needing that extra bit of structure.
Supportive Mattress for Kids Who Are Getting Bigger: As children move from a toddler mattress into a full kids single mattress, a supportive mattress for kids with a firmer core, like our Valor Comfort Pocket ORTHO 2000CC, helps ease that transition without needing another upgrade a year later.

Kids Mattress Sizing
Getting the size right matters, especially once a child moves out of a cot bed and into their first proper single bed.
- Small single mattress: a small single mattress suits compact box rooms or younger children still settling into their first bed away from a toddler mattress.
- Single mattress 3ft: the standard single mattress 3ft size is the most common choice for a kids single mattress, fitting most standard single beds and kids bunk bed frames without any extra measuring hassle.
- Kids bunk bed mattress: a kids bunk bed mattress is usually a shallower depth than a standard mattress, to keep the bunk’s safety rail working properly. Always check the recommended depth for your specific bunk frame before ordering.
- Kids double mattress: once a child is older and has more room to grow into, a kids double mattress gives extra space, often used in shared bedrooms or as a step up ahead of moving to a full adult-size bed.

Finding the Best Mattress for Kids UK-Wide
Toddler moving into their first bed? A softer open coil spring mattress or a lighter memory foam layer usually works well for younger children who don’t need the firmer support an older child or teen might.
Active sleeper who tosses and turns? A kids pocket sprung mattress responds better to movement than an open coil design, since each spring moves independently rather than the whole mattress shifting as one.
Growing child with a lot of height still to come? A firmer, orthopaedic mattress for kids gives consistent support through growth spurts, rather than softening unevenly in one spot over time.
Furnishing a bunk bed? Always check the mattress depth against your kids bunk bed mattress guidance first, since standard mattress depths can interfere with the bunk’s safety rail.
On a tighter budget? A cheap kids mattress like our Ethan Spring Mattress still comes with the same 5 year guarantee as our higher-spec options, just with a simpler open coil build.
Things to Check Before You Buy a Kids Mattress Online
- Check the depth against your bed frame: a kids bunk bed mattress usually needs to be shallower than a standard single mattress, so measure the frame’s safety rail height before ordering.
- Think about firmness, not just softness: a firm mattress for kids isn’t about comfort alone, it’s about keeping a growing spine properly supported through the night.
- Look for a removable, washable cover: a kids mattress with cover that can be taken off and washed makes cleaning up spills and accidents far less stressful.
- Match the mattress type to your child’s sleep style: side sleepers often do better with memory foam, while back sleepers and active movers tend to suit pocket sprung or firmer orthopaedic builds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best mattress for kids UK parents usually choose?
There isn’t one single best option, it depends on your child’s age, sleep style, and the bed frame you’re using. Pocket sprung and orthopaedic mattresses tend to suit older or more active children, while a lighter open coil or memory foam option often works well for younger kids still settling into their first proper bed.
How is a kids bunk bed mattress different from a standard single mattress?
A kids bunk bed mattress is usually made to a shallower depth than a standard single mattress, so the top bunk’s safety rail can still do its job properly. Always check the maximum recommended depth listed for your specific bunk bed before choosing a mattress.
Is a firmer mattress actually better for a growing child?
Generally, yes. A firm mattress for kids helps keep the spine aligned through the night, which matters more during growth spurts than it does for a fully grown adult. That said, firmness also comes down to personal comfort, so it’s worth checking your child’s preference too.
When should I move my child from a toddler mattress to a kids single mattress?
Most children move into a single mattress 3ft size once they’ve outgrown their cot bed, typically somewhere between two and four years old, though this varies by child and by bed frame. If your child has already moved into a standard single or bunk bed frame, a proper kids single mattress is the next step.
Do kids mattresses come with a removable cover?
Some of our range includes a kids mattress with cover that can be removed for washing, which is worth checking for younger children who are more prone to spills and accidents overnight. Check the individual product listing for cover details before you order.
