A Mattress for a Two Year Old Girl.

Hi Pete,

For a two and half year old girl, what style would be the best: 

firm, plush firm, etc? And, what about a pillowtop?

Thanks, Kathy


Hi Kathy,

Small children have bones that are still growing and forming.

A firmer mattress using an individually pocketed coil system will keep everything in place, so that the skeletal system forms as it should.


Pillowtop mattress are too soft at this age and one of the major causes of premature wear. You don’t want that for her.


When she’s older and begins to develop into a more womanly shape, 

she will then need that softer surface feel.

You can do that by adding a 2” Soft Latex Mattress Topper.

Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex is best.


I recommend the Eco-Terra Hybrid Latex Mattress in Medium-Firm.

When she’s older, add a Latex for Less Topper.


Here are links to each of those products.

If you need a new boxspring/foundation, I recommend the Magniflex KD Foundation, which comes in your choice of height and color.

They’re very strong and assemble easily with no tools needed.

Also recommended is a waterproof mattress protector, which prevents perspiration from seeping into the upholstery materials.

Keeping your mattress clean and dry will enhance longevity.

The Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector is my recommendation…the one we use at home.

It sleeps cool and works well.
