Child Bedding - Kids Courier

Child bedding mattresses can either by coil or Foam. Generally the mostly highly recommend mattress is the Classica I foam mattress by Colgate. It's firm, weighs only 7 lbs, and has a triple layer nylon reinforced cover. The advantage of the light foam mattress is the ease with which crib set changes can be made. Cleaning and bed making is also easier with a foam mattress as lifting the lighter weight mattress helps when changing your child's bedding often. Colgate also makes the Classica III mattress which has a firm side and a medium firm side. The firm side is used initially when it's critical for a newborn to sleep on an extra firm mattress, and then as the child grows the mattress can be turned over for a more comfortable sleep.

For those who are predisposed to a coil mattress, we recommend the Simmons Maxipedic, the Colgate Crown Imperial III or the RT mattress. All are firm, have nylon reinforced covers, heavy gauge coil springs and a ten year or more warranty. If you are considering an innerspring mattress, check to see that it has a good edge rod. The rod is a heavy gauge wire which exists at the top and bottom of the mattress at the point where the side panels are stitched to the top or bottom panels. The rod extends the life of the mattress by keeping the jumping child's feet from compressing a single spring far enough to stress the fabric and create a tear in the fabric seam.
