Why our sleep experts loved it

We know that kids have a lot of energy and need a mattress that can keep up. That's why the Little Star Extra Deep Pocket Sprung Kids Mattress is made with 324 pocket springs for full body contouring to help keep your child's body aligned and free from aches and pains. The pocket springs work alongside the anti allergy fabric making it breathable to help temperature regulation, something the team over at Mumsnet really loved.

This mattress is also water repellent, so accidents are easy to wipe clean while also being PVC free.  What's more, the tension within this mattress is rated as having a medium comfort grade which is the goldilocks of supports and one which allows your child to sleep on their side and back without issue.

The cover is removable and washable at 40 degrees and the mattress has protected and wipe clean inners for a hygienic sleeping environment. Rest easy with our 1-year guarantee.

Here's how the product performs based on the materials and composition when compared to other products of similar price point. These measurements are produced using a combination of specification-heavy algorithmic data points and our own hands on experience.

Suitability

*Assuming average weight, suitability will vary dependant on body type, use the quiz above for a more tailored guide.
  • Back Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • The amount of support offered from a mattress will vary depending on the firmness of the tension and the type of support layer used. Based on a person of average build.
  • Side Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • If you sleep on your side you typically need a supportive tension that is not too firm, nor too soft. This is because your hips and shoulders need adequate sinkage.
  • Stomach Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Stomach sleepers need a reasonable amount of tension in the base support layer to adequately offer body contouring and help prevent aches and pains. Results will vary based on your build.

Performance

  • Breathability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials like memory foam can make it difficult to move about on the mattress while you toss and turn. Same too for pillow tops which can create a cloud like sensation which can make manoeuvrability challenging.
  • Stability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Depending on the type of support layer in place can have an impact on stability, edge to edge support and roll together prevention. Pocket springs of a firmer tension will have better stability than open coil soft tension, for example.

Odour

  • Initial Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Materials in mattresses, particularly memory foam and rolled bed-in-a-box mattresses can have an initial odour, this is typically short term and reduces considerably within 24 hours.
  • Long Standing Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials inside different mattresses can produce a small odour. Typically this is short term rather than long standing but there are minor exceptions.

Brand Rating

  • Overall Brand Rating

I feel like i should only give this one star as we bought it for our grandaughters bed and she loves it so much and finds it so comfortable that she keeps going upstairs to read books in her bed instead of having fun with us. Im starting to miss her! Having jokingly said that, she is sleeping through the night on it and is no longer waking at 2, 3 or 4 for drinks or any other number of things.

We had an idea what we wanted so deciding and ordering was straightforward. A good wait on delivery - do not expect it in a week. As much as the delivery lads were friendly they firstly delivered the wrong bed. I had not realised at first as trusted that it was correct and was later going to put it together after work. Got a call from the other half saying they delivered the wrong one and they were on the way back. Fortunately for them I had not opened it, but it came across as a mad panic for them as they hefted one bed out and rush to put the other bed up the stairs as they scuffed black marks on my wall this time- they did apologies and most of it has come off but not all. Once unwrapped, noted there was a heavy black scuff mark on the base- fortunately you cannot see it. Also mud on wrapper so had to be careful taking that off to not get everywhere or on myself. To be honest, could not be arsed with too-ing and thro-ing with complaining and booking off time off work for it to be swapped or compensated with a meagre amount versus what you pay. It is a nice bed, just alittle more care either delivery service and ensuring no marks on it.

We purchased this single bed as a first big bed for my toddler who was fast out growing his cot-bed. Its the perfect height in that its not too high and he absolutely loves it. The build quality of the frame is great. It went together easily and once locked into place with the tools provided, its a very sturdy bed which will see him through to his teenage years, I have no doubt. The mattress is equally as good. Id say a good testament to its quality is my boy springing out of bed and telling me he had a great sleep when I go to wake him each morning. Im really happy with the purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to make a purchase for someone of any age.

Did a lot of research into best mattress for my little one prior to purchasing and Im a bit disappointed with it. It says its medium support but I actually find it quite soft which worries me a little with a growing child. He does also have a floor bed and I wouldnt recommend it for this purpose because when you sit on the edge of the mattress to read stories it squashes down a lot. We turn it round as often as we remember so it doesnt damage / become too sloped down at the sides. My little one enjoys jumping on it and he hasnt complained at all. Just not quite what Id expected it to be.

Great mattress. I needed a Euro size single so was quite limited on choice but this range comes in the extra long Euro size. I also didn't want foam due to it being too hot. This pocket sprung mattress was perfect. It's very comfortable - I have ended up sleeping on it myself a couple of nights. The extra bonus is that the cover comes off to be washed which I couldn't find on any other mattress I looked at. The staff in the store were also so helpful in letting me and my four year old test out all the mattresses. Would definitely recommend both the Dreams store and this mattress.

I got my child to try different mattresses and then told the man which 1 i wanted he gave me a price i said yes no problem but on doing my research found out he just ordered the more expensive mattresses which was not the 1s my kids wanted i went back to ask about this to get told it would delay the delivery and it wud mess the finance up so as i needed the mattresses i just kept them i just feel it was abit under handed the way it went down price was not the issue just the way it was done that i felt abit annoyed at

Great mattress for kids. Good support & the removable cover is great if your little one has accidents. The only thing that lets it down is how difficult it is to get the removable protector on & off. You have to pull it all the way down the mattress and it is quite snug. My daughter has the older version of this mattress and it zips off all the way round. Im not sure why they changed this as the older design was much easier.

Super comfy, my 2 year old loves it and its a great size for climbing in for story time. Ive even used it myself a few nights when hes been in the big bed with one of us so perfect for the whole family! The only Downside and jt is minor, it does make a sort of crackling/inflating sound as you sneak out after lights out. It hasnt woken him up yet but its something to note for light sleepers!

Great service from chole at the Southampton store who took us through all the children's mattress's and gave us some sound advice without being pushy that some people can be like. Our little boy loves the mattress and is sleeping a lot longer and enjoys going to bed now - I'm sure that will wear off but great purchase and very happy
