Buying a mattress for a child needs to be considered and researched before purchasing as it will come to play a big role in their life as they grow in weight and height. It's important to regard a mattress as an investment piece that your child will feel the benefit of every night (and every day) for a good number of years. For example, if you're buying a mattress for a younger child, say 3 to 4 years old, you should plan to replace it within 7-8 years.
Mums and dads who prefer natural, chemical free products may want to consider organic type mattresses that are free from toxins and made of all natural materials. The Little Green Sheep provide wonderful eco-friendly children's mattresses crafted from the best quality materials.

The mattresses' deep natural core of coconut coir acts like thousands of tiny springs, reducing pressure points and providing evenly sprung support to your little one's body.
