Sleep Number
Inspired by Our Children & a Simple Love for Sleep
When our daughters were ready to leave their cribs and move into their first big girl beds, we discovered there was not a mattress on the marketplace specifically designed for the needs of children. This was a shock to us because our family has been in the bedding business for over 70 years, and we were amazed we had never noticed this glaring need in the market.
Simply put, the bedding industry has never made children’s mattresses a priority. The choices for children’s mattresses have been quality mattresses designed with adults in mind, or poor quality mattresses that are passed off as “good enough for kids.” We knew how important sleep was for proper mental and physical development, so we wanted something better for our daughters. With our expertise in the bedding industry and a few years of parenting under our belt, we set out to create the ideal sleep system bed for kids. We spent months testing materials, creating layouts, and tweaking designs until we found all the best components needed in a kids mattress that helped our daughters get to sleep faster, sleep more soundly through the night, and waking up feeling rested, refreshed, and healthy. The result is the revolutionary Sleep Number Sleep System bed – and we are beyond excited to share it with you and your family.
The Only Kids Mattress
Designed for Children
Study after study proves the importance of good rest for child development. But before we created Sleep Number, we couldn’t find a sleep system with children’s needs in mind. No one seemed to consider the important differences between grown-up bodies and growing bodies or how kids sleep would be affected by those differences.
That’s why we set out to create a brand new kind of toddler mattress that can be used from age 3 through age 18. We started from the ground up, working to address a range of concerns in the design process like:
- Body weight and proportions
- Changing body structure
- Body temperature regulation
- Tendency to have nighttime “accidents”
- Allergies
The mattresses we came across were designed for grown-up bodies and grown up needs. So, we set out to find a new way for little monkeys everywhere!
We created Sleep Number specifically for growing kids. We researched, studied and designed the optimum features and benefits to support better sleep in children. Then, we created an entire sleep system bed incorporating the very best of our findings. That means, not only is the Sleep Number Mattress the best choice for your growing monkeys, it’s the last one you’ll ever have to buy them! Our sleep system bed is the perfect toddler mattress that your child can transition to from the crib and continue to sleep in throughout their teenage years.
