I’ve been researching mattresses for a while now and feel like I can’t take it anymore. I’m looking for a full size mattress for my almost 8 year old son. I would prefer this be a mattress than can last him the next 8-10 years, but I’m also not looking to spent $1,000 on a full size mattress.
I know some brands offer “kids” mattresses, but I’m not confident those have the durability I want and they also seem to have a smaller weight limit and my son is in the 99th percentile of height and weight as is. So I’m looking at adult mattresses in a plush or medium since I know he’s on the lighter weight side for an adult mattress.
He currently has a twin Purple kids mattress (now discontinued) and he sleeps well on it. Purple is just out of our price range for a full size mattress.
Mattresses I’ve considered are:
Nectar Classic Memory Foam Mattress - $599
Casper Cooling Select from Costco - $549
Sealy Posturepedic 12” Hybrid from Costco - $529
Brooklyn Bedding Copperflex - $465
Nectar 12 Cooling Gel from Sam’s Club - $499
Members Mark Hotel Premier Collection 12” Memory Foam from Sam’s Club - $299
Sealy Dreamlife 14” Soft Memory Foam from Sam’s Club - $529
I know that’s a lot and I’ve looked at about 50 more options it feels like. All mattress review websites seem so fake and either written by AI or clearly paid advertisements. It’s hard to know what to believe.
