Published Monday, January 23, 2017 One of the best purchases I've ever madeMany people who have made the crossover from traditional innerspring mattresses to memory foam are enthusiastic about the benefits they have received. Naturally, they want to share their improved sleep experience with their children. But is memory foam appropriate for children? In general, a memory foam mattress is not a good idea for infants and toddlers. However, older children and teens can usually enjoy the benefits of memory foam without any issues or concerns. The biggest things to consider when addressing this question are the child’s age and size, the memory foam properties, and the mattress properties. Age, Needs & Safety The same body-contouring properties that have made memory foam products famous worldwide are the same characteristics that can pose a danger to infants. This is of particular concern with temperature sensitive memory foams which soften under body heat and weight, allowing the sleeper to sink slightly while the surrounding material remains firmer (making turning more difficult).
Nearly every professional source recommends infants and very young children sleep on a very firm surface, primarily because kids of this age may not be able to turn themselves over at night which can become dangerous on a soft or contouring material. Amerisleep’s memory foam is not temperature reactive so it maintains consistent firmness and offers a quick response time, proving safe for most kids outside of their preschool years. Older children should not have a problem repositioning themselves and would generally be of sufficient size to be able to enjoy the benefits of memory foam without concerns. For kids up to their pre-teen years, a firm mattress would still be ideal according to expert sources (by teen years, we often develop more specific comfort preferences and needs however). One other potential concern parents may have involves chemicals in traditional memory foam mattresses that can result in off-gassing and unnecessary exposure. While largely considered innocuous, some types could use chemicals of concern that could contribute to or exacerbate existing respiratory or neurological conditions.
Eco-friendly plant-based memory foam offers an alternative that combines healthiness and comfort, and may often present a safer option than standard spring beds. Our Bio-Pur™ foam is certified to be free of toxic components like formaldehyde, CFCs, and other concerning additives. Waterproof mattress covers can also help reduce concerns about chemicals as well as allergens, regardless of mattress type. This will help extend the life of their bed, make accident cleanup much easier, and prevent dust mites and mold from accumulating. Memory Foam Can Benefit Kids Whether or not memory foam for kids is a good idea depends greatly on the kid, their age and size, and the mattress itself. As a parent, you will be the best judge of your child’s needs and abilities. Be sure to exercise caution and due diligence when considering a memory foam mattress for a young child, but know that memory foam can be perfectly safe for most kids and teens.

We always caution that there is never one “best” mattress, and that certainly applies for couples as well as people that sleep alone, but there are certain things that couples may need to prioritize when mattress shopping. My top mattress picks for couples include mattresses that are high quality, durable, and great value – but also prioritize motion isolation and customization. My three favorites are: Read below for more details on these mattresses to help decide on which one may be best for you. Helix is a bed-in-a-box company that is sold only online (providing good value), but the real story with them is their customization options. When ordering a Helix mattress, you first take a quiz that asks you about your sleep preferences. They will ask you about your firmness preference, sleeping hot/cool preferences, and a few other factors. Then they will personalize your mattress based on your responses. What’s lesser known about Helix is that you can personalize each side of the bed – meaning you and your partner can both take the quiz and then have each side of the bed customized to each of your preferences.
No other mattress at this price point offers anything close to this, making Helix our top mattress for couples pick. Learn more about Helix in our full . Loom and Leaf is one of our top reviewed mattresses in general and one of our best mattress for side sleepers winners, but we also recommend it for couples because of its outstanding performance in motion isolation. Loom & Leaf is a very high quality memory foam mattress (think Tempur-pedic), but it follows an online-only business model, making it significantly more affordable than other mattresses in the market with different specs. I like this mattress for couples because the motion transfer is simply non-existent. If your partner is kicking and tossing on the other side of the bed, you may not even notice. Learn more about Loom and Leaf in our full Loom and Leaf review. Sleep Number makes the list because it also allows personalization on each side of the mattress. They have unique air-mattress technology that some people really love.
The downside with Sleep Number is that it tends to be polarizing, with reviews showing that some people love it and some people hate it. The price is also on the high end as well. If Sleep Number is interesting for you and your partner, I recommend going to a local spot and testing it out – this is not one you want to buy online to see if you like it. Use the three recommendations above as a starting point, but you may want to branch out. What are the key features that I look for when considering a mattress for a couple? Option 1: Find The Right Compromise– You should really dig into the characteristics, sleeping styles, and preferences of both sleepers. See where there is common ground, and potentially there can be a mattress that is a good compromise. Option 2: If Compromise Just Isn’t Possible, Consider Customized or Adjustable Mattresses– If the sleeping style and preferences of you and your partner are so different that compromise just isn’t possible, then there are still a few options for you.
Sleep Number provides adjustable beds where each side of the mattress can have its firmness adjusted. A mattress like that could be an intriguing option. If you sleep with someone else in the bed, you don’t want their movements to disturb you. The best way to address this is by finding a mattress with good motion isolation. That essentially means if you put pressure on one part of the bed, the other parts don’t feel anything. If you’re in a showroom, try putting an object on the other side of the bed while you’re on it to see if it’s disturbed. Below is a video of me completing the test on the Lull mattress, which performs well. You don’t necessarily need a special mattress if you are a couple, but it really comes into play if you have different firmness preferences or different weights. Helix is my top recommendation for couples looking to personalize each side of the mattress, but there are a number of different options that will work for each pair depending on what they need.
