Mattress selection criteria
After the child has passed the age when his spine needs anatomical support in the form of a surface with a sufficient degree of rigidity, the approach to the equipment of the sleeping place should be different. In three-year-old children, the formation of the S-shaped bend of the spinal column ends. However, the cervical flexure and lumbar spine are still in developmental stages. At the same time, due to the developing internal organs, bones and muscles, body weight increases significantly.
It becomes uncomfortable to lie on a hard base. A surface that is too soft will also not work.In mattresses of medium hardness, anatomicality and orthopedic effect are perfectly combined.
When choosing products, you need to consider:
- the materials from which the filler and coating are made;
- the degree of rigidity of the base;
- dimensions of the mattress.
The most important thing is to choose the right type of mattress.
Mattress type
Mattresses can be spring or springless. The first option can be considered for placing a three-year-old child in a crib, but a number of points must be taken into account.
- You should not choose products in which cotton wool or foam rubber is used as a filler over the spring block.... These materials do not differ in rigidity and perfectly absorb moisture. Cotton wool also loses its shape over time.
- If children like to jump on the mattress, the spring blocks may not be able to withstand the load.... Deteriorated elements are capable of creating irregularities in the sleeping area, which have a negative effect on the spine.
- The inner space of the spring mattresses simultaneously allows them to breathe and is a dust collector.
In connection with the above, spring models can be considered for purchase, but only if there is confidence in their high quality.
All these shortcomings are deprived springless models... They can be made of a single material or have a multi-layer structure. Today manufacturers offer mattresses made with natural or synthetic fillers.
Main types of materials:
- artificial and natural latex;
- coconut coir;
- holofiber;
- foamed polyurethane;
- materials with a memory effect;
- as well as cotton wool, foam rubber, algae, flax fiber, etc.
However, you need to understand that the child may have an individual intolerance to certain types of fillers. Cotton wool and foam should also not be considered as options.
Hardness
If you choose the wrong mattress, there is a high risk of curvature of the spine over time.
- an overly rigid base leads to an unnatural bending of the spine upward;
- on a soft mattress, on the contrary, the spine bends downward under the weight of the body;
- on a berth of medium hardness, optimal horizontality is ensured.
Important! The mattress, which is considered optimal for children over the age of 3, does not differ much from products for adults. In this case, you just need to be more careful about the choice of materials, as well as the selection of dimensions.
What else needs to be considered when choosing a mattress:
- environmental safety and vapor permeability of the cladding;
- size (the product must be selected in exact accordance with the dimensions of the bed);
- when diagnosing an allergy or orthopedic problem in a child, before purchasing a mattress, you need to consult a specialized specialist.
As for the size of the bed, usually children aged three years and older sleep in beds measuring 60 x 120 ... 140 cm or 70 ... 80 x 130 ... 160 cm. For a non-standard piece of furniture, you will have to order a mattress.
