Why should you choose this mattress?
Two things set this mattress apart for parents. First, it's completely foam-free, using e-Fibre comfort layers instead, and the fabric is OEKO-TEX certified, which offers reassurance about what your child is sleeping on. Second, the waterproof fabric handles the realities of childhood: bedwetting, spilt drinks and general mess, without the mattress underneath suffering. Breathability hasn't been sacrificed for waterproofing either. The open-cell fibres wick moisture and a 3D mesh border vent increases airflow, so it shouldn't sleep sweaty. The medium firmness spring core gives even support that suits growing bodies. Add the 5-year guarantee and an affordable starting price, and it's a well-judged package for a kids' room.
Key features & layer details
Waterproof fabric
A waterproof outer fabric with anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-fungal protection, which means spills and accidents stay on the surface rather than reaching the layers below. That makes it far easier to keep hygienic through the messier years.
Comfort layers
Entirely foam-free, using breathable e-Fibre comfort layers with open-cell fibres that help wick away moisture. In practice, that means a cooler, fresher sleeping surface for your child.
Spring core
A medium firmness spring core that provides evenly distributed support across the mattress. This is a sensible feel for growing children, neither too soft nor too hard.
3D Mesh border
A 3D mesh border vent around the side of the mattress increases airflow. Combined with the breathable comfort layers, it helps the mattress stay ventilated.

Best suited for?
Children
The medium firmness spring core gives evenly distributed support, which suits growing bodies and feels neither too soft nor too hard for a child's bed.
Allergy sufferers
Anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-fungal protection in the waterproof cover, plus a foam-free build, gives parents extra reassurance about what their child sleeps on.
Warm sleepers
Open-cell e-Fibre comfort layers wick away moisture and a 3D mesh border vent increases airflow, so the bed should feel cooler and fresher overnight.
Eco-conscious buyers
Entirely foam-free, with e-Fibre comfort layers in place of foam and an OEKO-TEX certified fabric, this suits parents wanting more thought behind a child's bed.
This is a children's mattress, so it isn't the right pick for adults or heavier teenagers wanting a long-term bed. If your child strongly prefers a very soft or very firm feel, the medium spring core may not suit.
Save on an earlier or ex-display model
Some retailers still sell the earlier version of this mattress, or ex-display and returned stock at a lower price. These are the sizes where it costs less than the current model's best price.
