Pros & Cons

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and a decade of industry insight.

Great quality with the same materials found in adult mattresses.

Eco comfort fibres are found in the premium range of larger mattresses.

Hypoallergenic materials prove ideal for getting your child a good nights sleep.

Open coil is not as good as pocket springs, although this price point makes this a great option for children.

Why our sleep experts loved it

Parents, are you on the hunt for the perfect mattress for your little one? Look no further! The Silentnight Play Traditional Spring Kids Mattress from Dreams is the answer to all your prayers. This online exclusive is packed with features designed to provide your child with a comfortable and supportive sleeping surface.

When looking at the support layer found at the base of the mattress, this Silentnight Play Mattress features 192 traditional springs, which work together to provide a solid and consistent level of support throughout the entire mattress. The open coil design allows for maximum breathability and helps to regulate your child's temperature as they sleep. This is important for a restful night's sleep and helps to prevent overheating. When it comes to children's mattresses, an open coil base tends to be the most popular option as it comes in at a lower price point while still being able to offer a good amount of support. That said, pocket springs would do the job slightly better, but so too, would be a higher price point.

Not only does this mattress have traditional springs, but it also has a dual layer of EcoComfort Fibres™ fillings, providing a plush and comfortable sleeping surface that is great for the environment and made from plastic bottles. The breathable EcoComfort Fibres™ work to keep your child cool and comfortable, ensuring they get the rest they need to tackle their next day while also being found in comparable adult models.

What does this all mean though? Well ultimately the materials used are all hypoallergenic, meaning it's perfect for children with allergies or sensitive skin. The hypoallergenic properties ensure that your child can sleep peacefully without any irritations or discomfort and you can rest easy knowing that your child is sleeping on a safe and healthy surface.

Onto how the mattress will feel for your child and it will be most suited for those who tend to sleep on their back as side sleepers may prefer a slightly softer medium tension. Firm has many benefits though, providing the perfect level of support for your child's growing body. The firm tension helps to align your child's spine, reducing any aches and pains, and promoting good posture. This is especially important for children aged 3 years and older, who are in their developmental stage and need a supportive surface to grow and develop.

In conclusion, the Silentnight Play Traditional Spring Kids Mattress from Dreams is the perfect choice for parents who want a safe and comfortable sleeping surface for their little ones. With traditional springs, EcoComfort Fibres™ fillings, hypoallergenic properties, and a firm tension, this mattress has it all. Don't miss out on this online exclusive and give your child the gift of a good night's sleep with the Silentnight Play Mattress.

Glad I bought the Silentnight Play mattress for my four year old. It's sturdy and comfortable, providing just the right amount of firmness. However, the mattress does make noise when tossed and turned on which is rather distracting at night.

Marvelous mattress! The open coil springs certainly make for a supportive sleep. Yet, the noise my little one makes when he shifts keeps me up. A quieter option is needed for light-sleeping parents.

This mattress fits perfectly in our bunk bed, and there was no chemical smell upon opening. It's a great option, although it might be slightly thin for heavier kids.

Mattress is lightweight and easy to move around. However, I wish it was a bit more plush for extra comfort for my daughter.

The mattress states it is firm yet it almost bends in half when a little pressure is applied. Is this normal?

Answer: This is a medium/firm mattress, the comfort rating has been listed as a firm as the Dreams system down not list medium/firm ratings. This mattress is intended for children, so if pressure is applied by an adult this will compress more.Many thanks
