Simmons Beautyrest Flatbrook Luxury Firm mattress for a growing child

Greg writes:

We're looking to buy a single twin mattress for our three year old, and are wondering what things we need to consider. Since we'd like this to last until he goes to college, durability is one thing to consider. Are there some types of mattresses that are more durable than others (both edge durability and overall durability)? Are there any other suggestions of things we need to think about when buying a mattress for a child?

 Thanks, Greg

Hi Greg, 
An inexpensive mattress may last about 10 years, as your so won't put on any real body weight until he reaches puberty. Also, boys tend to be rougher on things than girls. Also, if you allow him to use the mattress as a trampoline, this will have an affect on how long it lasts. Grown and gone is a long time. If he doesn't fly into bed from across the room, (a teen age boy thing), or use it to wrestle on, there is a mattress that will last that long....Here are links to two mattresses. The first will do the job. The second is likely to need replacing. Take note of the price difference between them. Unless you're raising a perfect angel, you may have to replace it anyway.

Here are links to two models. The first is our normal recommendation for a child. The second is beefier World Class Annapolis Place Luxury Firm model, one that we often recommend for adults.
