Teens Mattresses

Beds for teenagers that will grow with them

Between school, part-time jobs and sporting commitments, teenagers are well and truly ready to sink into bed when they get home. The right mattress can help them get the sleep they need to fuel their growing bodies and minds. 

Looking for a balance of functionality and affordability? Here are a few quick tips when picking out teen mattresses that will last them for years to come. 

What size mattress is best for a teenager?

There’s no one-size fits all when it comes to teen beds. Instead, think about how much space they have and their individual needs. 

A king single is a great, comfortable option for smaller spaces - without trading off that extra legroom and luxury. Teens tend to have a few growth spurts, so a long single is a great way to give them that extra space to sprawl out. If room allows, a double or queen mattress is always a great bed and will grow with them as they age. 

What are the different styles of teen mattress?

Is your teenager growing taller by the day? Keep this in mind to ensure that your teen has plenty of room. 

When it comes to the best mattress for teenagers, consider how your teen curls up in bed. As a general rule of thumb, firm mattresses are great for stomach sleepers, providing the support they need throughout the night. Side sleepers, on the other hand, will benefit from a medium or plush mattress. That way the mattress will mould to their body’s natural contours. Back sleepers can suit almost every type of mattress firmness, so look for something that your teen feels comfortable on.
