3 Biggest Fears in Buying Custom Foam for your Child's Bed

Introduction

We often hear from parents who are concerned about their child’s sleep environment. They don’t want to be exposed to chemicals and they’re worried about the safety of their children. But most importantly, they’re tired of not getting a good night’s rest. We understand! That’s why we love talking with these parents and helping them find solutions that will improve their family’s well-being. In this blog post, we’ll help you overcome your biggest fears when it comes to custom foam mattresses, crib mattresses, and more.

Fear #1: I’ve never bought custom foam before.

The first fear that we hear a lot is people thinking they can’t afford custom foam, or they’ve never bought it before so they don’t know where to start. Custom foam isn’t expensive, and it’s not hard to find. It’s available online from many retailers and you’ll likely see some in your local stores as well. It’s not only easy to buy, but if you have the right tools for cutting, installing and cleaning (which we’ll talk about later), then it really does become a DIY project that lessens the time spent searching for an installer who doesn’t have time for your job until next month or even next year!

Fear #2: I’m afraid of chemicals.

The second biggest fear that we hear from parents is the fear of chemicals.

People are scared to death about what’s in their mattresses, bedding, and especially for our children’s beds.

So let’s talk about chemicals for a minute. We know that there are some really harmful chemicals out there, but what do we really know? And how do we feel about them?

There are two major types of toxic chemicals that you may be exposed to every day: persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Fear #3: I don’t know what to measure or where to start.

If you’re looking for a custom foam mattress for your child, you might be wondering what all those measurements mean and how they work together. The good news is that there are only a few simple measurements you need to take before getting started on building the perfect bed for your child!

Measure the length, width and thickness of the mattress—this will help us determine which density foam we recommend based on size requirements (i.e., small vs large). You can also measure the length, width and thickness of the box spring if applicable as well as height of mattress (if applicable).

Don’t be afraid to start the conversation about your child’s bedding. Know that there are professional companies to help you get the best night’s sleep for your entire family.

Conclusion

I understand that this can be a big decision, especially if you’re new to buying foam. But I promise, it’s worth it. If your child is waking up with aches and pains every morning, then they probably need more cushioning in their bedding. The right amount of support will help them sleep better and keep those muscles strong so that they don’t get injured when running around outside or playing sports!
