Hi-
I really would like some advice. I am looking for a mattress for my 11 year old which I plan to also use as a guest bed. He has never been a good sleeper (perhaps it is the cheap mattress!). He is a sensitive child when it comes to chemicals⌠nothing life threatening but tends to be more reactive than most kids. I live in NJ and spoke with Shovlin Mattress Factory. They recommended their Summit model (which is there lowest end inner spring) for our purposes. The salesperson said it was still of better quality than traditional store premium mattresses. What do you really need for children â should they be the same quality as for adults â because they never are!? Shovlin uses chemical fire retardants and there seems to be nothing âecoâ about the mattress. What are your thoughts about the chemicals in mattress production? I am close to Urban Natural in E. Hanover who carry Berkeley Erg. so I could take a look there too. My other issue is I am seriously pressed for time. I have guests coming to stay with me a few days before Thanksgiving so need to make a decision in the next couple of days. I care about the quality of my sonâs mattress for growth and development as well as health. I donât want to over think the health concern â the mattress heâs been sleeping on for years I purchased at a kidâs furniture store. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated. Want to pick a mattress for me?
