Imagine going to bed every night without a comfortable mattress to rest your head on. Unfortunately, this is a reality for many children. Let's work together to ensure that every child has a cozy mattress to sleep on and a good night's rest improving their brain development.

Children's Sleep Linked to Brain Development

Your Kid’s Brain Needs Sleep. Like, A LOT of Sleep.

Ever tried reasoning with a tired child? It’s like arguing with a tiny, very emotional lawyer who has nothing to lose.

That’s because sleep and brain development go hand in hand. When kids don’t get enough sleep, their brains don’t work at full power. Translation? They get cranky, can’t focus, and will probably throw a tantrum over something ridiculous (like the fact that their sock feels “weird”).

Here’s the science (in normal-people terms):
🧠 Sleep is when the brain grows & processes new info. No sleep = brain moving slower than your Wi-Fi at grandma’s house.
📚 Memory & learning happen during deep sleep. So if you want your kid to actually remember their ABCs instead of just screaming them in random order, sleep is key.
😵 Lack of sleep = emotional chaos. If your child acts like a tiny movie villain when they’re tired, that’s not a personality trait—it’s sleep deprivation.

Do Your Children Get Enough Sleep?

 

According to actual sleep experts (not just us, though we ARE mattress geniuses), kids need:

👶 Babies (0-1 year): 12-16 hours (Yes, even though they prefer waking you up every 2 hours.)
👧 Toddlers (1-2 years): 11-14 hours (Still not enough for YOU to function, but good for them.)
🎒 Preschoolers (3-5 years): 10-13 hours (This is also the age where they start negotiating bedtime like tiny lawyers.)
📚 School-Age Kids (6-12 years): 9-12 hours (If they say they’re not tired, they’re lying.)
👩‍🎓 Teenagers (13-18 years): 8-10 hours (Good luck getting them to bed before midnight.)

Signs Your Kid Is Sleep-Deprived (AKA, How to Spot a Tiny Zombie)

🚨 They suddenly hate everything.
🚨 Meltdowns over nothing. (The wrong color cup? The sound of your breathing? Who knows.)
🚨 Mood swings that make soap opera characters look stable.
🚨 They’re bouncing off the walls OR completely zoned out.

Basically, if your kid acts like they’re either possessed or running on pure chaos energy, they probably need more sleep.

How to Help Your Kid Sleep Better (So You Can Sleep Too)

😴 Same bedtime, every night. (Yes, even weekends. Sorry.)
📵 No screens before bed. (We know, we know. But TikTok and Minecraft aren’t helping.)
🛏️ Get them a good mattress. (Subtle plug: We happen to sell some amazing ones. Just saying.)
📖 Wind-down time. (A book? A bedtime story? Whatever makes them stop bouncing off the walls.)
