Toddler Mattresses for Little Girls & Boys

What’s special about toddler bed mattresses?

If you're choosing a toddler bed and mattress for your child, then comfort and safety should be the priority. Toddler mattresses are 2 feet 3 inches wide and 4 feet 6 inches long (140 x 70 cm), which is the ideal fit for our cot beds.

Designed for young children, toddler mattresses come with lots of added features to make life easier:

Water-repellent to stop spills and accidents from soaking in.
Easy to clean.
Hypoallergenic to be kind on sensitive skin.
Temperature regulating.
Firm and supportive for good alignment.

Our range includes different filling types such as fibre, traditional springs, and pocket sprung, so you can choose the right support for your toddler.

When to make a switch from a cot to a toddler bed?

Around 12 to 18 months is a good time to consider transitioning your child from a cot to a toddler-sized mattress, but trust your instincts and flex this timing as you see fit to best support your child. With the extra room, your toddler can stretch out and experiment with different sleeping positions.

Toddler bed frames are lower to the ground and have high, smooth sides, so you don't have to worry about kids rolling out or hurting themselves during the night. Our toddler beds guide explains everything you need to know about toddler beds and mattresses.

Remember, every child is different, so these age recommendations are just a guide. If your child is older than 4, then a toddler bed may be too small for them, and it's worth looking at a single kids bed. For more advice, check out our guide on moving your toddler to a big bed.
