Kids' and Teens' Mattresses, Sized to the Bed They Have

A bunk bed needs a thin mattress so the guard rail still does its job. A teenager who has stopped growing needs the adult bed they will take to their first apartment. The picks below are sorted that way, from bunk to full height.

For kids and teens the advisors recommend the 6-inch and 7-inch Premium Foam mattresses for bunks and captain's beds, the C.J. Mulholland Series 5000 and Series 6000 for a first proper bed, and the Sleep In Paradise or Cool Breeze for a teen who wants full height. C.J. Mulholland also cuts custom sizes for bunks and built-in beds.

Is this more mattress than you need? Buy the thin foam for the bunk and do not feel bad about it; a child under 100 lbs does not compress a mattress the way an adult does. Where parents overspend is the teenager's bed: buy the adult mattress once, at full height, and it leaves with them. The 7-inch Premium Foam and Series 6000 sit between the two picks above if the budget or the bed height lands in the middle.

Questions we get asked

Before you decide

How thick can a bunk bed mattress be?
Check the bunk's guard rail: most need the mattress top at least 5 inches below the rail, which usually means a 6-inch or 7-inch mattress. Bring the rail height and we will tell you which fits.
Our captain's bed is an odd size. Can you cut one?
Yes. C.J. Mulholland cuts custom sizes in two to three weeks. Send the measurements through the custom size page and we confirm them by phone.
What if it turns out to be wrong for me?
Every eligible mattress carries the 60-Night Comfort Guarantee: sleep on it at home for 60 nights from delivery and, if it is not right, exchange it once with no exchange fee.
Can I buy this without coming to Brantford?
Yes. Call 519-770-0001 during store hours and an advisor walks the floor with you by phone, then we deliver white glove across Southern Ontario from $40 or ship a rolled model by courier further out.
