Hand-Me-Down Mattress? It May Not Be the Best Choice for Kids
Ashley Sleep Offers Five Easy Ways to Choose the Right Mattress for Your Children
(firmenpresse) - ARCADIA, WI -- (Marketwire) -- 09/10/12 -- From toys to clothes, shoes to bicycles -- hand-me-down items passed from sibling to sibling can be a cost effective, eco-friendly and easy way for parents to keep everyone happy without breaking the bank. But one item you should think twice about reusing is an old mattress.
"Many parents overlook the importance of finding a good mattress for their children, thinking they'll outgrow them too fast or just believing that kids are okay sleeping pretty much anywhere," says Ben Thorud, Senior Vice President of . "The truth is that kids often spend most of their developmental years on the same mattress, so choosing one that offers them the best quality of sleep -- as well as one that nurtures them through every growth spurt -- is vital."
After doubling as trampoline and enduring numerous spills and stains, hand-me-down mattresses can easily become worn out and unsupportive. So how do you choose a new mattress for your kids? Ashley Sleep offers these five easy-to-follow tips:
1. . While mattresses may look similar on the outside, not all are created equally. Be sure to find out how your mattress was manufactured and which chemicals are used inside. Ashley Sleep uses state-of-the-art like SynTex in every Latex Mattress. Infused with natural seed oil, this process minimizes the use of petrol-based chemical oils -- allowing our mattresses to meet or exceed the most rigorous flame-retardancy test. They're also a more eco-friendly option.
2. Does your child complain about pains after waking up? A -- or a with memory foam -- may be an excellent choice. Memory foam contours the mattress to the body and helps alleviate pinches and pains that can cause tossing and turning. It's also designed to adapt to your child's body weight.
3. . If you choose a foam mattress, find out if the foam is CertiPUR-US® approved. When the foam inside is CertiPUR-US approved, you know that it has been tested by an independent laboratory to meet environmental, health and safety guidelines. CertiPUR-US certified foams are made without PBDEs, ozone-depleters, prohibited phthalates, lead, mercury and heavy metals and formaldehyde. They are also certified low-emissions for indoor air quality. Consider it a health check-up for your child's mattress.
4. . are an excellent choice for children with allergies. Latex is a naturally hypoallergenic, renewable and eco-friendly material made from the sap of plantation-grown rubber trees, that's bacteria, mold, mildew and dust-mite resistant. (Some people are allergic to latex and believe they cannot purchase a latex mattress for this reason. But true allergic reactions to latex are from direct contact. You will never be in direct contact with the latex in the mattress.) Don't forget about an allergy-friendly . Ashley Sleep's Better than a Box Spring risers help provide better allergy relief by not having an area for dust and bugs to dwell in.
5. No matter what kind of you choose for your kids, it's important to replace them about every year or so. Older pillows may contain skin cells, mold, dust mites, mildew and fungus and can quickly lose their shape and supportive qualities.
