Ikea children's mattress

Sleep is very important for the full development of a child of any age, so the choice of cots and sleep equipment is very important. Help in ensuring a healthy and sweet sleep for your baby can be provided by a children's mattress from a well-known company. Ikea.

In the collection of baby bedding, you can easily find products for children of different ages, made of latex and polyurethane foam. All of them are equipped with removable covers that simplify the operation and cleaning of the mattresses.

The Ikea product catalog is quite extensive and varied. Mattresses (including children's mattresses) occupy one of the main places in it.

The advantages of products for children are:

• Convenience - moderately soft and elastic mattress is created taking into account the anatomical features of children, so even a long sleep on it will not cause the slightest discomfort.
• Hygiene - the manufacturer uses materials that are as resistant to dirt and dust as possible.
• Ease of operation - it is provided by removable covers that are easy to wash and dry.
• Durability - the mattress is enough for the child until he grows out of it.

Ikea orthopedic mattresses for children are designed to prevent disorders in the formation of the musculoskeletal system of growing children's organisms.

Their main functions include:

• Maintaining the correct position of the child's spine during sleep. Correct position means preserving all natural curves.
• Optimal load distribution. The orthopedic mattress does not form "holes" in those places where the child lies. It flexes elastically in some places and remains "inflexible" in others.

• Relaxation of muscles. For proper rest, the muscles should relax as much as possible during sleep. On an uncomfortable mattress, this is impossible, since the muscles must constantly support the bone skeleton. In the case of Ikea orthopedic products, the mattress itself is "engaged" in support.
• Maintaining optimal temperature. In winter, the products perfectly retain heat, and on hot days, thanks to their "breathing" features, they give coolness.

At the same time, the products do not disturb blood circulation, do not squeeze the delicate children's skin, they do not cause allergic reactions or irritations on the skin.

To get the maximum effect from using an Ikea children's orthopedic mattress, you must first choose the right product.

When choosing, the following must be taken into account:

• Age features of the child. For the smallest, for example, it is recommended to purchase thicker models, and for older children, softer mattresses are suitable.
• The size. It must exactly match the size of the child's bed. A mattress that is too small will increase the risk of injury from getting your hands or feet caught in the gaps between it and the edges of the crib. Due to deformation, a large mattress can collect wrinkles or bumps, which will negate all orthopedic qualities.

In the Ikea size chart, mattresses are presented:

• for newborns and children under 1 year old - 120 × 60 and 5-10 cm high;
