Is this mattress safe for a toddler?

It is designed for kids, with a waterproof side for younger children and no foam, fiberglass or chemical flame retardants. Check the minimum age guidance from Naturepedic for your child.

Can I use it on a bunk bed?

Yes. The 7.75-inch profile is thin enough for most bunk and trundle frames. Confirm your bunk's maximum mattress height before buying.

Do I need a box spring?

No. It works on a slatted bed base, platform bed or bunk frame. A box spring adds height but is not required.

How do I clean the waterproof side?

Wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the mattress, and use a mattress protector for heavy accidents.

How does it compare with a foam kids' mattress?

It is firmer and more breathable than most foam mattresses and has no polyurethane foam or glue layers. Foam alternatives are usually softer and lighter but can sleep warmer.

Which side should my child sleep on?

Use the waterproof quilted side for younger children and the breathable cotton side for older kids and teens. Flip it when your child outgrows accidents.
