Different types of mattresses
There are three different kinds of mattresses and each has their pros and cons.
Memory Foam mattress
Memory foam mattresses are usually the most comfortable, and least firm mattress. They are also usually more expensive than the other styles.
Hybrid mattress
A hybrid mattress combines both memory foam and innersprings. They are still a lot more firmer than a full memory foam mattress, but they are also more affordable.
Innerspring mattress
The third and final mattress is usually the most affordable option, but it's also the firmest mattress. While still comfortable, the other two styles provide more comfort and support.
Mattress FAQ
Honestly, picking a twin size mattress is more economical than getting a toddler bed. This way your toddler will get to use the bed for a lot longer, and the section of twin size beds are a lot better!
The best mattress is a memory foam like this one from Tuft & Needle. They cost a little more, but they are 100% worth it for the comfort.
Anywhere from 6 to 15 inches thick will provide adequate support for your child. The thickness will vary depending on the top of mattress you choose, as well as the price.
If you do decide to invest in a Tuft & Needle mattress, you should make sure to also get a waterproof mattress protector. This protects it especially during the potty training years.
