The Best Kids’ Mattresses For Better Sleep In 2024

Our choice for best overall mattress for kids, this is Emma’s top-rated pick for a reason. Just like the rest of their award-winning collection, the Emma Comfort II Mattress has been crafted by their team of experts to deliver a truly comfortable sleep experience. 

The mattress's blend of high-quality, OEKO-TEX-certified foams and edge-to-edge springs will adapt to your kiddo's body, providing that perfect balance of support and comfort. The versatility of this mattress also makes it a great choice for seeing older children through into their teenage years without any complaints.

First things first, this mattress isn’t just a popular choice for adults (there are thousands of happy customer reviews to prove that), but it’s also a top pick for the little ones in your life. The hybrid design perfectly combines classic pocket springs with memory foam, creating an ideal sleep experience that falls on the right side of "firm".

The supportive design and comfortable memory foam help to prevent motion transfer (ideal for when you’re trying to sneak out of bed post-story) and the edge-to-edge support ensures you can use the entire sleep surface. Additionally, we love the cooling gel memory foam that will keep little ones at the perfect temperature for a solid snooze.

A secret weapon for little sleepers that’s also kind to your wallet, the Ecosa Align Firm Mattress has been designed to provide a solid foundation for growing bodies. The comfortably-firm high-density latex foam has been paired with high-gauge springs, to create a mattress that’s not just supportive, but will remain entirely sag-free. 

Designed to withstand just about anything, the mattress features firmer springs around the perimeter, ensuring any bouncing stays in the bed—and not off it! Free from any nasties, the mattress is also OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, as well as being eco-friendly thanks to the inclusion of biodegradable latex, breathable Tencel, and recycled polyester made from plastic bottles.

Designed for ages three through 12, the Koala Joey Kids Mattress was specifically created with both the needs of parents and their little ones in mind. Featuring a built-in water-resistant protective layer and zip-off machine-washable top layer, you’ll never have to worry about accidental spills again. 

It’s dual-tempered steel pocket spring and Kloudcell foam technology ensures long-term comfort for growing bodies. Whilst, those with limited space will love the low-profile design that makes it ideal for pairing with floor beds, bunks, trundles, or beds with guardrails. Want added peace of mind? The mattress is also OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, INPAA endorsed, and made with CertiPUR-US certified foams.

While it’s won plenty of accolades, there’s a reason the Origin Hybrid Mattress is the best firm mattress for kids. Designed to suit all types of sleepers, you can be confident that your kiddos will enjoy this mattress well into their teen years thanks to its versatile and supportive design. 

With a firmness level that falls right between a six and a seven and reinforced edges, the mattress provides plenty of support for growing bodies. However, there’s no compromise on comfort here thanks to the addition of the brand's HexaGrid™ technology, which ensures a plush and cosy top feel.

Originating from a father's quest to provide his son with a truly kid-centric mattress, this second-generation Australian manufacturer prioritises sustainability without compromising on comfort.

Unlike many generic "kids" mattresses, Eco Kids has been specifically tailored to the needs of growing bodies, incorporating premium natural materials and innovative eco-friendly technologies. The result of two years of research and development, this mattress offers children the spinal support they require for healthy development and has been recognised by the Spinal Research Foundation.
