Many children sleep on the same mattress from the age of 3 years old to well into their teen years. So while they may only weigh 35 lbs for their first night on this new bed, their body weight will most likely triple by the time a new mattress is needed! We advise parents to take a moment to realize just how important this decision really is. Children are recommended to get atleast 9 hours of sleep each night, and often spend hours relaxing, reading, daydreaming and giggling on this new mattress as well.

A mattress protector is a removable piece of bedding that will either cover or encase the mattress. Its purpose is to protect the mattress as well as provide a healthy sleeping surface. Due to its waterproof nature, a mattress protector does not allow spills to penetrate or stain the mattress. This is important because if moisture seeps into a bed it can damage the foams causing compaction which will form body impressions. Body impressions are one of the primary reasons people are obligated to purchase a new mattress.
