Small Double Mattress 120 by 190cm

For the house bed in the small double size, which is what most children end up in.

The safety numbers on this page are the ones that actually matter and they are worth reading once. Slat spacing is under 60mm, because a gap between 60 and 75mm is the size that traps a limb. A mattress must fit with under 30mm of gap all round. Anything a child sleeps above 600mm off the floor needs a guard rail and is not suitable under six years old, which is a regulation and not our opinion. And any tall piece of furniture in a child's room needs restraining to the wall, every time, which is two screws and the single highest value two minutes in the whole assembly.

Assembly and safety

Arrives assembled. Unwrap it, check it over and put it where it goes. We take the packaging away on the same visit if you ask when you book the delivery.

How long it lasts

Most families buy this for one stage and then move on, and that is fine. It holds its value better than almost anything else in a child's room because it is solid timber with no printed decoration to date it, and we run a buy back on our own pieces at up to 40 per cent, refinish them and sell them as second life stock, which is the honest version of a sustainability page.
