Making the shift from a crib to a bed is a big transition for any toddler and her parents. Once deciding your toddler is ready for this change, there are a few different mattress options to consider. There is no one mattress firmness that is best for a toddler. Each available option varies in firmness but is still a safe and comfortable option for your child. What you choose may depend on your child’s attitude towards change, available space and expense. There are generally two types of crib mattresses, foam and innerspring, each of which are suitable for both infants and toddlers, says Consumer Reports. Both are very firm, which is important as it prevents infants from sinking into them. Many parents choose to simply use their crib mattress on a toddler bed until their child is 2 to 3 years old and ready to move into a larger bed, as toddlers still find this firmness to be comfortable. A toddler bed looks like a regular bed except it is lower to the ground and comes with side rails.
Most crib mattresses fit toddler beds. Some cribs come with the option of purchasing a convertible mattress. These mattresses are extra firm for infants on one side, and softer on the other. According to Consumer Reports, the softer side for toddlers is made of standard foam or springy, viscoelastic memory foam. Convertible mattresses can be used either with a crib that converts into a toddler bed, or with a regular toddler bed. They are generally more expensive than regular crib mattresses. Some parents choose to simply buy their child a twin bed that he can grow into, putting rails on the side if necessary. When purchasing a regular mattress, look for a softer mattress with innersprings. Softer mattresses will conform to a toddler's body, which is much lighter than an adult's.

That's why choosing a bed for a child this age can be perplexing. Of course, there is no one bed size that is right for every three-year-old.
Consider your child's age, size and maturity, then make the choice that's best for him. Although associated with infants rather than three-year-olds, a crib is a safe, secure option, according to renowned pediatrician Dr. T. Barry Brazelton. He recommends keeping a child in her crib until it is no longer feasible. Brazleton prefers cribs because their bars help kids get more sleep by keeping them in their beds. "When you move your child to a bed, you can no longer limit his ability to get up and explore," Brazleton writes. "Don't move a child out of his crib until you have no choice -- not until 3 or 4 years, if possible." A toddler bed is a bed that can accommodate a crib-size mattress. They often have short rails on the sides for security. Because they are low to the ground and allow your child to remain sleeping on her familiar crib mattress, toddler beds are a good option for children who are intimidated or scared by the unfamiliar height and size of a standard bed. While they are a great advantage for children who have trouble transitioning from crib to bed, their small size makes them a temporary option that your child will soon outgrow.
Twin beds are practical options for three-year-olds. They are not as large as a full-size bed, but are long enough to accommodate a child through his early adult years and perhaps even beyond. Chances are your three-year-old is not assigned the largest bedroom in your home. Twin beds are smart options for small bedrooms, as they provide a sleeping area large enough for just about anyone, yet don't take up too much room. Because twin beds are a popular size for children, there are many bedding options available in twin size that are character themed and approved for three-year-olds. Use removable bed rails on your child's twin bed until he has mastered sleeping in one spot. When thinking of your three-year-old's next bed, full-size or queen-size beds may not immediately come to mind. However, they are worth considering for several reasons. First, they are large and give your child plenty of room to roll around. Second, your child will never outgrow either of these sizes, making the purchase of yet another bed unnecessary.
Third, they provide extra sleeping space if your child has a friend spend the night. Also, if you have guests, your child can sleep on the couch, in your room or with a sibling, and you can use your child's room as a guest room. Keep in mind that while you will be able to find child-themed bedding in full size, your options will be very limited in queen size. In addition to standard beds, bunk beds and trundle beds are flexible options for kids' rooms. While, for safety reasons, it is not a good idea to allow a three-year-old to sleep on a top bunk, a bunk bed is a smart option if you are planning on having your children share a room, or if you simply want extra sleeping space for company. Trundle beds provide extra sleeping space that is closer to the floor. If you are quite concerned that your child will fall out of bed, consider placing a mattress on the floor for a few months. This allows your child time to get accustomed to sleeping on a bed without rails, and if she falls, it is only a few inches to the floor.
