Is it okay to let my child use a second-hand mattress?
Using a second-hand mattress is possible, but it is generally not recommended as a long-term solution. While it may seem like a cost-effective option, it's best to buy a new one for several reasons: - * Hygiene: Second-hand mattresses may have accumulated dust, dirt, and allergens that can trigger allergies and respiratory issues in children. * Wear and tear: A used mattress may have lost shape and support, leading to discomfort and poor sleep quality. * Pest infestation: Second-hand mattresses may harbour bed bugs, dust mites, or other pests, which can infest your child's sleeping area. * Safety concerns: A used mattress may have tears, holes, or other forms of damage, which can pose a safety hazard to your child. To ensure your child's comfort, safety, and health, we recommend purchasing a new mattress that complies with safety standards and regulations. However, if you decide to use a second-hand mattress, carefully inspect it for any signs of damage, pests, or other issues before letting your child use it.

Determining when to make the switch to a toddler bed varies, typically occurring between 18 months and three-and-a-half years old. Certain behavioural cues can signal a child's readiness for this significant change. *They can climb out of their cot. *They are nearing completion of toilet training and may need access to the toilet during the night. *They are physically outgrowing their cot.
