Help needed!
I need to buy DD a mattress to go on her new double bed. She is 10 years old, about 145cm tall and a little under 5 stone.
I phoned John Ryan who recommended their softest mattress as at her body weight it will offer enough support and feel firmer that it would do to you or I due to her lower body weight. This seemed to make sense.
Unfortunately I need to replace the other 2 DC’s mattresses too, and could really do with spending under £1k, so thought I’d see what Dreams have to offer.
Phoned Dreams and they said that children need a medium/firm mattress to support their growing spines. This also seemed to make sense. Their children’s mattresses only come in single sizes so I asked which of their comfort ratings I should look for in the adult mattresses to ensure a similar level of support. They said still medium/firm and something about how children used to sleep on the floor
My feeling is that John Ryan are probably correct and I should look for a soft pocket spring mattress, but then I don’t want her to end up like Quasimodo because I went too soft!
We’ll order from somewhere with an exchange guarantee.
We did try a Dreams showroom and the John Lewis showroom but they were all too hard or too soft and she’s too embarrassed to lay down properly and test them anyway, so I thought we’d go with science instead!
