Have you ever had to get up in the middle of the night with a sick or toilet training kid? If you have - you know why you’ll need two!

For those who haven’t had that joyful experience:

Without a mattress protector, urine will soak deep into the mattress and do irreversible damage to it. Stains and smells are difficult to remove, and they’ll lower the hygiene of the mattress. Our waterproof protector won’t let that happen.

We chose to include two protectors in the Kids Protector Bundle because children can have multiple accidents during one night. Particularly if they are unwell, you might have to change the bed two or three times. If your mattress protector gets wet in the middle of the night, the last thing you want to do is have to worry about what to protect your child’s mattress with at 2am! Best to always have a spare.

You know the saying "you get what you pay for"? Well that goes for mattresses too.  Sure it can be tempting to purchase a cheap kids mattress for your little ones, but a cheap mattress means cheap quality.  Even if you're not fussed about the lack of support, a cheap kids mattress won't last you very long and you'll end up having to replace it much sooner than you would a quality mattress.

The best kids mattress will support your child's growing body to ensure healthy development. Zoned pressure relief and good spinal support and will ensure optimum comfort and they won't need to wiggle around all night to get comfortable. The hybrid design and quality materials provide a cool, comfortable and lasting sleep surface they can grow with.

The Sleep Republic Kids mattress is also made with natural, high-quality materials. They’re breathable, dust-free, eco-friendly, naturally hypoallergenic, and ideal for children with asthma or allergies. Some full foam mattresses can be filled with nasty chemicals and toxins that can damage your child’s health or aggravate existing respiratory conditions- best to avoid those completely.

Premium edge support from the firmer springs around the perimeter provide a comfortable seat for mum and dad at bedtime, and also prevents edge sagging, so you won’t feel like you’re about to fall out of bed.  A foam child’s mattress simply cannot compete with the innovative layers provided by our award-winning hybrid mattress design.

The Sleep Republic Kids mattress comes with a 10-year warranty and when you purchase The Tencel Mattress Protector with The Sleep Republic Kids mattress, your child’s new mattress will be covered by Protect A Bed's 10 Year Stain Proof Mattress Guarantee.
