Many 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.

Our extra firm high-density foam is supportive for infants, yet comfortable. A good mattress not only makes bedtime more comfortable for your baby, it also supports his growing bones and keeps him safe while sleeping. Be sure to choose a firm crib mattress made specifically for babies, because a soft sleeping surface can be a suffocation hazard and raise the risk of SIDS.




The firmer the better. Even if it feels stiff to you, your baby will adjust to it. Mattresses designed for older children and adults may not be firm enough. A crib mattress needs to fit comfortably in the crib, with no more than two fingers of space between the side of the mattress and the crib frame. If there's more space than that, the mattress is too small and could be a suffocation and entrapment hazard. By law, full-size crib mattresses must be at least 27-1/4 inches by 51-5/8 inches and no more than 6 inches thick. Our My First Crib Mattress meets and exceeds all safety standards as set by CPSC: The My First crib mattress comes with a removable plush velour cover that is soft to baby's tender skin.

Crib Mattress with Quilted Cover Crib or Toddler Mattress Cradle Pad or Mattress "Important information about Unpacking Your Memory Foam Mattress Tips for unpacking your mattress: Carefully remove the outer plastic cover with scissors. Exercise care and remove the plastic cover by hand. Gently pull the compressed product to unroll it. Carefully trim the inner plastic cover with scissors to start the mattress decompression. Gently pull away the inner plastic cover and discard. Please allow 24 to 72 hours for your mattress to regain its full shape. It has been machine rolled and compressed for efficient delivery and will not affect its performance. In cold temperature, at delivery, your mattress may take a bit longer to return to full sized from its compressed state.




Once the mattress is unrolled and placed on your bed, allow it to recover naturally before making up your bed. Airing out your mattress: Memory foam mattresses typically have a mild residual scent – ‘new car smell’ – distinct to the product when new. This is sometimes heightened when delivered during cold weather. Some consumers are sensitive to odor – any odor – and while we understand it might be irritating to some, it is in no way harmful or unhealthy. It will quickly dissipate as the mattress is used daily, allowing the open cells to expel the ‘processing’ air and take in new air. Leave the mattress uncovered during the first few days, allowing the air in your home to circulate around the product. Turn on fans and open windows to circulate the air in the room, so the mattress odor can dissipate quickly.
