My 2 littlest need mattresses. Ages 6 and 1. I want something with as little toxins as possible. Typically, either my husband or I are sleeping with one of the kids and we don’t sleep well on spring mattresses at all so it has to be something that an adult can sleep on comfortably for the next few years at least (more important for the 1 year old).
Questions are:
- Is there any chance of getting a mattress for each of them that will last until they move out? If not, what lifespan should I expect?
- Should I be looking at something like a shikibed for the next several years, then getting something more expensive later on? Overall cost is a factor.
- My teenager has a Natura Eco Haven we bought in 2009 for her, right about 4 years old now. I was hoping this would last her for at least another 6 years to cover the rest of high school and university. Am I dreaming? I can also pass this mattress down to one of the littler ones (probably not the 1 year old as it’s too soft for her IMO).
Any suggestions as to what to do? I just don’t want to end up in a situation where I’ve spent $5000 on latex mattress with organic wool toppers for the younger kids and they’ll need replacement soon and it wasn’t something they really needed.
I’m in Canada and I live in a place where there are zero places to try organic mattresses; we had to order the Eco Haven sight unseen and untried. And that store closed down so not even sure I can get Natura locally anymore. Any place we do have that carries organic mattresses has a “no return” policy as they have to order it in for you and they are teeny, non-chain stores, and there may only be one…LOL. So, I think I’m going to have to order online.
