What’s the size of a toddler mattress?

A toddler mattress size is 2 feet 3 inches wide and 4 feet 6 inches long, which in metric measurements equals 70cm wide and 140cm long. This means they fit our toddler beds perfectly. So if you're looking to move your little one from a cot to a bed, we can provide you with everything you need. Choose from one of our fun, character-inspired toddler beds, and then one of our toddler mattrasses and you have everything you need for your child to get a good night's sleep.

While 2 foot 3 inches in width may not sound very big, you might be surprised at how wide a toddler bed mattress is and the amount of great sleeping space they provide. Your little one will have plenty of space to be comfortable, but also won't feel lost in the amount of room a toddler bed and mattress provides.

What age is a toddler mattress suitable for?

A toddler mattress is suitable for little ones aged 18 months all the way up to around 4 years old, whilst they are sleeping in a toddler bed. Available at reasonable prices, this means you can get real value for money as it'll last all the way through until your child is ready for a full sized single bed.

What are the benefits of a toddler mattress?

Toddlers are prone to plenty of movement throughout the night which makes it important to a choose a mattress that'll support this. Coming in comfort levels from medium through to firm, toddler mattresses are designed to keep your child comfy through the night. Our toddler mattresses often feature hypoallergenic materials which reduces the risk of any irritation.

All our toddler mattresses also come with a water repellent cover. This wipe-clean technology will make any accidents during the night much easier to manage, so you can ensure your child gets back to sleep with minimal fuss. Forget about flipping your toddler's mattress and cleaning it the following the day, simply wipe away and within minutes the mattress will be back to normal.

What else is there to consider when buying a toddler mattress?

It's important to check the size requirements of the toddler bed and mattress that you’re putting together. That's because toddler beds are designed with edging to ensure your child is kept in the bed frame all night long. Most importantly, you need to ensure you’ve chosen the right depth mattress for the toddler bed. This is to ensure your child is not sleeping above the side panels which are there for safety.
