For the past 2 months I have been trying to find consistent advice on a mattress for my little girl and I simply have failed. This is a wonderful site, but I have succumb to paralysis by analysis. After countless hours of research, I’m more confused now than every! Any help that you could give would be greatly appreciated. We live in the Denver, CO area. I think that I have narrowed the search down to the following beds:
$499 - Full size Ultra Plush Latex Mattress with Bamboo Cover - main questions for this bed:
- Is it supportive and safe enough for a young child and
- Where can I purchase a base?
and
$599 - Durango Firm by Denver Mattress Full Mattress Set
- Is this bed too firm for a yound child?
- Will it sag in a few years?
She has a convert-a-crib which converts into a full size bed. I would like a good quality mattress that she can keep for 4-10 years. She is tall for her age with average weight. I would like to spend $600 or less.
Please help. I have no idea what to do and the poor girl is too tall for her toddler bed and asks me everyday when I’m going to buy her a bed:(
Thank you in advance for your assistance,
