Sleep Products For The Whole Family

By Elaina Hundley

Everybody needs a bed—especially children. In this Product Focus we are honing in on a variety of products for the little ones in our lives. Since children tend to be tinier and more delicate than adults, manufacturers often have to alter product construction and technology to suit smaller frames. Whether offering a fun-sized pillow, a full portfolio of crib products to support baby’s development from infant to toddler, or a less cumbersome weighted blanket that’s safe for a young one to use, the following products and the manufacturers that make them can help you serve your pint-sized customers and support the sleep health of entire families.

 

BEDGEAR’s Air-X & Dri-Tec 2-Stage Performance Crib Mattresses

 BEDGEAR takes a thoughtful approach to designing sleep products for little ones, offering two distinct products for infants: the Air-X 2-Stage Performance Crib Mattress and the Dri-Tec 2-Stage Performance Crib Mattress. Like all BEDGEAR adult mattresses, the brand’s performance crib mattress models each have an Air-X ventilation panel around the perimeter that promotes air flow in, around and throughout the mattress. With a focus on cooling, the Air-X 2-Stage Performance Crib Mattress features BEDGEAR’s Ver-Tex fabric technology. Inside the mattress is a new dual-sided Air-X breathable cushion that creates maximum air flow on the surface of the bed and can be easily removed and washed. The Dri-Tec 2-Stage Performance Crib Mattress features BEDGEAR’s Dri-Tec fabric technology on its cover, to wick away moisture for a drier and more comfortable sleep surface. The dual-sided React specialty core of the Dri-Tec 2-Stage Performance Crib Mattress is a breathable proprietary foam that won’t trap heat, helping baby stay cool all night long. Bringing peace-of-mind to parents, both Performance Crib Mattresses are comprised of certified safe materials, as regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. As the baby grows into a toddler, the duality of each Performance Crib Mattress allows them to be flipped from a firmer side for infancy to a less-firm toddler side that offers more responsive support.

The PureCare Kids Collection

The PureCare Kids collection includes pillows, protectors, sheets and weighted blankets. Since kiddos outgrow everything so quickly, PureCare designed its line of kids pillows to grow with them. Reversible and adjustable, the PureCare Kids pillows allow youngsters to choose from multiple comfort options in one pillow—ensuring that the products can continue to support them as their sleep needs change. Creating a cleaner, more hygienic sleep environment for children is so important to their sleep health. As such, PureCare Kids products are not only washable, but are also treated with antimicrobial silver product protection that inhibits bacteria, mold and mildew that causes deterioration, stains and odors.

Saatva’s Youth Mattress

Constructed out of layers of padding on top of a very fine high-coil count spring system that allows the coils to be offset and open, the Saatva youth mattress is made to contour to a child’s body. Because children experience so much growth and change during the years between toddler and teen, the brand constructed a mattress that can grow with them. In consultation with chiropractors and pediatricians, Saatva developed a unique flippable design that provides customized support for younger (3-7 years) as well as older (8-12 years) children. On the 3-7 side, Saatva focused on integrating new technology called surface modified foam (SMT). The foam is anatomically designed with zones of different firmness with softer foam at the head and feet. This “posturized” foam layer helps ensure proper spinal alignment for younger children. On the 8-12 side, the brand used the same convoluted foam found in its luxury mattresses. This foam provides optimal support for children who are closer to their adult weights. Made with eco-friendly materials that promote child health, the youth mattress cover is made of hypoallergenic organic cotton with water resistant protection and its foams are Certi-PUR certified.

OMI’s Youth Bed & Crib Matress

When designing products for children, OMI’s main focus is on support and spinal alignment. The company’s youth bed and crib mattress are both made with high-density, certified organic latex at their cores—delivering a level of firmness that is essential during these developmental years, in addition to incredible support and longevity. The brand also encases its products in a certified organic cotton fabric with certified organic wool quilted inside. Wool helps regulate body temperature naturally by wicking moisture away, allowing for a more controlled sleeping environment. Every aspect of OMI’s products are third-party certified organic to ensure a purer sleep experience. Across all its product lines, OMI strives to provide quality sleep without the burden of chemical off-gassing and harmful exposure to synthetic materials.
