We have a sealey firm with a pillow top and he seems to like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/full-sized-mattress-for-toddler#post-1878557 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 08:51:29 +0000 loveisstrange 1878557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a cheapie mattress. We figured it would weather us through potty training and then we'd spring for something nicer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/full-sized-mattress-for-toddler#post-1878556 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 08:51:05 +0000 BananaPancakes 1878556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I heard this same thing about firmness and proper spinal development. We got our twin mattress at Sam's Club. I think it's a Sealy with innersprings and is actually quite comfy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/full-sized-mattress-for-toddler#post-1878554 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 08:50:37 +0000 avivoca 1878554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally, I like a firm mattress with a plush top, so that's probably what we would buy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/full-sized-mattress-for-toddler#post-1878544 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 08:43:01 +0000 Mamaof2 1878544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got a set from BJ's - didn't test it out or anything - its been fine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/full-sized-mattress-for-toddler#post-1878537 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 08:39:01 +0000 MamaG 1878537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got our mattress at a mattress store and they recommended pillow top for our girl. Said it didn't really matter at this age but as she gets older with curves she will find the softness more comfortable. We also didn't spend much as I felt like we would be replacing this mattress within 5-7 years.</p> <p>The salesperson told us boys tend to prefer firmer beds due to their lack of curves in the hip area, so it provides better support. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/full-sized-mattress-for-toddler#post-1878508 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 08:17:59 +0000 Pancakes 1878508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our toddler moved herself into our guest bedroom (how presumptuous, right?) around 2.5, which happened to have a full-sized bed. We bought the mattress from Sam's; I think it has a plush top. She just got what we already had and I didn't give a second thought to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/full-sized-mattress-for-toddler#post-1878445 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 07:40:14 +0000 looch 1878445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a plush set from Sleepy's. </p> <p>I do think firmness matters in terms of proper spinal development, but I have no sources to substantiate this, but we went with what my son likes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/full-sized-mattress-for-toddler#post-1878441 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 07:36:43 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1878441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Firmness doesn't matter since they can turn their heads. I like a firm with plush top mattress. Does your LO like your bed? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/full-sized-mattress-for-toddler#post-1878435 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 07:29:00 +0000 winniebee 1878435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ts bed converts to a full sized bed and we are just skipping the toddler bed altogether. Suggestions on a mattress? Are they supposed to still be firm or does it not matter anymore? </p>
