10 Best Twin Mattresses For Children’s Rooms Or Guest Rooms

If you are in search of a medium firm, twin mattress that is capable of supporting your growing child right from early childhood right through to adolescence, the Nectar Memory Foam mattress is made of comfortable, high quality materials. With five layers comprising this mattress, it is one of the most top rated mattresses available, so much so that it has been awarded five awards in the past two years!

By just taking a look at its construction, it is clear to see why this is one of the best twin mattresses available:

The quilted mattress cover features Tencel which helps to keep the mattress cool and breathable. The cover is super soft and plush, almost giving the feeling as though you are sleeping on a cloud.

Beneath the mattress cover is the gel memory foam layer which is great at distributing body weight, so you feel supported while also ensuring that you don’t get hot or feel any lumps in the mattress.

The transitional layer of foam adds to the mattress’s firmness so that it prevents you from sinking too deeply into the mattress. Fear not though, you will still feel as though you are being hugged by the mattress, but will avoid that sand sinking feeling! This layer is also highly adaptive, meaning that it contours to your body, giving you just the right amount of support.

The base layer helps to support all of the layers above, adding structural integrity and durability.

The bottom mattress cover ensures that your mattress will not slip on the frame you are using.

Proper spinal alignment while you are sleeping is key to preventing back pain, while zoned support helps to relieve pressure from your shoulders, hips and knees. The Nectar Memory Foam mattress is ideal for doing exactly this and 90% of Nectar mattress owners state that it has helped their existing back pain.

A 365 night sleep trial period is included, so there is more than enough time to test this mattress and make sure it is the perfect fit. Nectar offers free shipping and returns; your twin mattress is delivered as a bed in a box direct to your door which allows for easy setup. Your mattress is also covered by a lifetime warranty.

This twin size mattress measures 38 x 75 x 11 inches and weighs 45 pounds.

Perfect for growing children whose sleep preferences may change over time is the Layla Sleep mattress. This mattress has both soft and firm firmness levels – how, you might ask? Well, Layla designed this mattress to have flippable firmness, which means that no matter your sleep position, you can flip your mattress to adjust the firmness to support your needs. For example, side sleepers prefer the soft side; however, back sleepers and stomach sleepers prefer the firm side.

This unique construction makes this mattress like none other! Let’s take a look at its construction:

The lighter side is the soft side! The luxurious cooling cover features thermo gel which responds to your body temperature, keeping you cool while you sleep. The built in zipper makes the cover easy to remove so it can be easily washed.

Beneath this is a three inch copper gel memory foam layer which is plush and soft as a cloud. It helps to transfer heat from your body, pulling it into the mattress and distributing it so that you sleep cool. Unique variable support means that the support is bespoke to your needs, so if more pressure is applied to the mattress in your hip region, you will notice that you feel additional support there, unlike other mattresses. There is also antimicrobial properties included which helps to control odor and keeps your mattress clean.

A two inch support layer of foam has deep channeling for maximum cooling.

Four inches of supportive core foam reduces motion transfer and minimises bounce.

This layer is a one inch layer of copper gel memory foam as described above.

The bottom layer is the dark side and is the firm side and features a cooling cover and a built in zipper.

Of course, with it being flippable, if you use the firm side, just reverse the order of layers as desired above. This mattress is great at being very supportive and reactive with its deep compression, while also being plush and comfortable. Perfect for every kind of sleeper, the Layla mattress

The Layla mattress includes a 120 night sleep trial so you can test both sides and see which is best suited; if you find that neither side is supportive enough or matches your needs, you can return it free of charge and completely hassle free. It does have a lifetime warranty, which shows its high levels of durability. The twin size version of this mattress measures in at 38 x 75 x 10 inches and weighs 50 pounds.

Featuring a blend of memory foams and individually pocketed coils, the US made Alexander Signature Hybrid mattress makes for a great twin size mattress. Unlike many other mattresses that don’t offer a range of firmness levels, before you order you can choose between plush, medium or luxury firm. What’s great is that a 100 night trial will allow you to decide whether this mattress is the one for you.

A hybrid mattress features a construction that makes it capable of supporting a range of sleeping positions. The quilted mattress cover features breathable memory foam which makes is comfortable and adaptive. Beneath the cover is three inches of Titanchil Endurance Foam whose support changes depending on the firmness level you select. A one inch layer of smart foam is breathable and helps to distribute body heat throughout the mattress. The innerspring mattress section features eight inches of individually wrapped coils which prevent motion transfer. A one inch layer of support base foam helps to give the overall mattress stability and durability. Lastly, the mattress has a reinforced polyester encasement.

Hybrid mattresses are great at providing edge support and provide the perfect balance of sinking into a mattress while feeling perfectly support. The innersprings help to provide a bit more of a bounce that is not typically experienced with a purely foam mattress.

What we really love about this mattress is the ease of being able to switch your firmness level if you feel you have either ordered one too firm or too soft. You are actually able to unzip your mattress and to expose the Titanchil Endurance Foam layer which can be exchanged to suit the firmness level you desire. The 100 night trial period means that you can exchange this as needed, completely hassle free. A lifetime warranty is also included. Available in twin size (38 x 75 x 13.5 inches) and twin XL (38 x 80 x 13.5 inches).

The Casper Original mattress is a top rated twin mattress for all kinds of sleepers who search specifically for a mattress that offers cooling and support for back pain and other aches. The Casper Original allows for you to choose between either their memory foam mattresses or hybrid mattresses so you can find the one that perfectly suits your preference.

The all foam mattress has a top layer consisting of Airspace, which is Casper’s innovative, breathable foam layer that helps to circulate air throughout the mattress so that you do not get hot while you sleep. Next, a zoned support layer comprised of memory foam is broken down into three ergonomic zones that provides relief to your pressure points – your waist, hips and lower back. Lastly, the high density foam base ensures the mattress is stable and durable. If you opt for a hybrid mattress, keep in mind that beneath the zoned support layer of foam there will be an additional layer; this layer includes individually pocketed coils that give the mattress a bit more a bounce. The coils also give reinforced support to the perimeter of the mattress, which gives it good edge support. A hybrid mattress is great for people who do not have a preferred sleeping position, also known as combination sleepers, who cycle through several sleeping positions throughout the night. This makes it an ideal twin mattress for a guest room as every guest will enjoy a good night’s sleep.

Free shipping is included as well as a 100 night trial period and a 10 year warranty. The twin size versions of this mattress measures in at:

For a luxurious twin mattress, the Zen Haven mattress by Saatva pairs high quality with maximum comfort. This mattress is a completely natural, latex mattress that is handcrafted with high quality, non toxic materials that are not only great for you, but also the environment.

Let’s take a look at how this luxury mattress is constructed:

The beautiful cotton mattress cover is quilted and organic, making it irresistibly comfortable.

Organic New Zealand wool creates a comfort top layer that is flame resistant and helps to regulate body temperature with its breathability and cooling properties.

Beneath this is the five zoned Talalay latex which is 100% natural and hypoallergenic. The zoning helps to provide maximum pressure relief while supporting your pressure points.

The support layer of latex is completely natural and does not include any petroleum or polyurethane based foams. This layer is very durable and reactive.

This top rated twin mattress allows for you to choose the perfect firmness level. With just one mattress, you can choose between a gentle firm feel which is 18% firmer than the luxury plush feel of the other side. Which side should you choose? Stomach and back sleepers benefit most from a firm feel due to the additional support. However, if you love that sleeping on a cloud feel, the luxury plush firmness level will be just right.

We love the extra attention to detail that is included with this mattress, especially the fact that Saatva will deliver this mattress to your door and include a white glove delivery. This means that they will set up your new mattress and remove your old mattress, completely free of charge. A 180 night trial is included, though if you do decide this isn’t the mattress for you, there will be a $99 return charge. This mattress is not going to disappoint and its high quality and durable materials are guaranteed up to 20 years with a warranty.

The twin size mattress option measures in at 38 x 75 x 10 inches whereas the twin XL is 38 x 80 x 10 inches.

If you have been considering a new mattress for your twin bed, the Saatva Classic Hybrid mattress is a top choice. With a choice of three firmness levels – plush soft, luxury firm and firm – you will be able to find the perfect comfort level. If you are unsure which firmness level is best, here is how we class each:

Choose plush soft: if you are a lightweight sleeper and like to feel as though your mattress is giving you a big hug. Side sleepers who like to feel their mattress contouring to them will also love a plush soft feel.

Choose luxury firm: if you want to feel an equal balance of comfort and support. If you love hotel mattresses, you will love this option as it feels like bringing your favourite hotel mattress home! Luxury firm suits the majority of sleepers, so this is a happy medium.

Choose firm: if you like to sleep on top of the mattress and feel a bit more resistance. Some back and stomach sleepers like a firm mattress, especially if you are a heavier sleeper.

With three inches of Euro pillow top, the top comfort layer is plush and super comfortable; made from hypoallergenic organic cotton, it is great for those with skin sensitivities. Botanical antimicrobial treatment also keeps this layer ultra clean and prevents odor. The dual coils of the second layer are 14.5 gauge recycled steel that contour perfectly to your body and allow for adequate air flow. A layer of high density memory foam helps to provide pressure relief in the lumbar region. 13 gauge steel support coils comprise the base layer and give the mattress its structural integrity and prevent sagging. The perimeter of the mattress is surrounded by high density foam that creates a supportive edge, making it easier to get out of bed (although you aren’t going to want to after sleeping on this mattress!).

Saatva offers a fabulous free service that means your twin mattress will be delivered and set up in your home, completely free of charge. You also have the option to have your old mattress removed for no additional costs. You will be able to test the mattress for 180 nights before committing. A 15 year warranty is also included.

The twin size mattress measures 38 x 75 inches and the twin XL is 38 x 80 inches. Unlike many other twin mattresses, you can choose your height preference – either 11.5 or 14.5 inches. Regardless of the height you choose, its performance is unaffected.

If you want to pair the bounce of an innerspring mattress with the comforting contouring of a memory foam mattress, you will find the perfect fit with the Brooklyn Aurora Hybrid. This mattress is comfortable and breathable whilst also being highly adaptive, responsive and supportive.

Side sleepers highly recommend the soft version of this mattress, especially because the pressure relief it provides for your joints means you can sleep comfortably without those dreaded aches and pains in your shoulders and hips. Back and stomach sleepers prefer the firmer mattress as it keeps a flat surface so that your body doesn’t sink into it; a firmer mattress is also ideal if you require extra lumbar support. If you like a mix between the two, then a medium firm feel is best!

Let’s look at the construction of this luxury hybrid mattress:

The top layer, measuring 1.5 inches, uses unique CopperFlex foam responds to every movement and provides just enough contouring with support for pressure relief. The antimicrobial properties found within the copper also help to prevent the build up of odors. To keep you cool while you sleep, the top layer also is infused with TitanCool which helps to regulate your body temperature.

Two inches of TitanFlex foam gives the mattress a cloud-like feel that is also adaptive and responsive.

A one inch layer of Swirl Visco-Elastic memory foam is contouring and offers deep compression support which helps relieve pressure.

The eight inch base is made up of individually pocketed coils adds a bit of a bounce to your mattress. To prevent vibrations from the coils being felt throughout the mattress, a one inch layer of high density foam supports them as they compress.

Your new twin mattress is delivered to your home as a bed in a box so it can be easily transported to your room without a struggle. The 120 night trial allows you to test the mattress, completely risk free. The mattress is also protected with a 10 year warranty. The twin mattress measures 38 x 75 x 13 inches and the twin XL is 38 x 80 x 13 inches.

The Nolah Signature mattress is a great twin mattress option as it has flippable firmness with one side being soft and the other having a firm feel. The layers of high density, comfort foam offer deep compression while also promoting cool sleeping.

We will take a look at this mattress’s construction, starting with the soft side:

With 2.5 inches of thick AirFoam, you will feel that it contours perfectly to your body, while also offering high levels of support so you don’t sink too deeply into the mattress.

The 1.5 inch supportive layer of foam is responsive and helps to relieve pressure from your shoulders, hips and knees.

7 inches of reinforced, high density foam supports the layers above by ensuring the mattress responds and adapts quickly. Its strength supports the entire mattress, making it durable to prevent sagging over time.

An inch of firm, supportive AirFoam has cooling properties that helps to regulate body temperature. This side is better suited to back and stomach sleepers who need some additional support and pressure relief.

The organic cotton cover that encases the mattress is soft to the touch and perfect for anyone who suffers with sensitive skin as it is free from any harsh chemicals. It is also moisture wicking, meaning it will draw moisture away from your body to help you sleep cool.

Delivery is fast and free and is shipped in a box so you can move it into your room and get it setup with ease. The 120 night trial allows you to test your mattress, and if for any reason at all you are unhappy, you can return it free of charge. However, if you do decide to keep you Nolah mattress, you can rest assured knowing it is guaranteed for life with a lifetime warranty!

Measuring in at 38 x 75 x 12 inches, the twin size mattress is a generous height! The twin XL is also available.

The WinkBeds Luxury Hybrid Mattress is one of the best twin mattress options for anyone who wants breathability in a mattress and dynamic support. It is also a great option for people who struggle with back pain as it pairs the contouring, deep compression of memory foam mattresses with the supportive and responsive properties of innerspring mattresses. This type, hybrid, is the best of both worlds!

The mattress cover is made from a eucalyptus based material called Tencel that is plush and comfortable. The Euro pillow top contains gel infused memory foam that cushions and supports your pressure points. The individually pocketed coils, which comprise the innerspring mattress layer, offers zoned support that pushes back when pressure is applied – this means that side, back and stomach sleepers will benefit from deep support where it’s needed most – with the three step back relief system. The supportive edge system provides additional support to the perimeter of the mattress so that it makes it easy to get in and out of bed.

The twin and twin XL options are available in four comfort levels – soft, luxury firm, firm and plus (specifically designed for heavy sleepers). Your purchase will include a 120 night trial, so if you do find that you haven’t quite chosen the right firmness for your liking, you can easily swap it for another. This luxury hybrid mattress is covered with a lifetime warranty.

If you are looking for the best twin mattress while on a budget, the Copper Dreams Mattress by Brooklyn Bedding is just that! Perfect for your guest bed, this memory foam twin mattress doesn’t compromise on its comfort levels and still gives a cloud like feel – without the hefty price tag. You can choose between medium firm (13 inches in height) and firm (12 inches in height); although, if you are using this for a guest bed, we would recommend opting for medium firm as most sleepers find this just right.

The mattress cover features a smooth top weave which is not only attractive, but also functional; its cooling properties help to draw heat away from your body so you can sleep cool while the top layer also contains copper graphite infused memory foam for cooling. The second layer of memory foam offers pressure relief where it’s needed but contours just enough too. A two inch transitional layer supports the mattress and gives the right amount of sinkage without letting you feel as if you are drowning in your mattress. Six inches of high density foam supports the overall mattress, making it durable and stable.

This US made memory foam mattress is delivered as a bed in a box to your front door. You will have 120 nights to test the mattress and make sure it is right for you. A 10 year warranty is included with your purchase.
