Bittersweet as it is, our job is to support our child’s growth in every way—and thus, their sleep. At the most basic level, this means providing a cozy mattress that helps them fall (and stay) asleep. The Juniper Kids Mattress by Brentwood Home is made with a naturally cooling gel memory foam layer and up to 20% plant-based BioFoam®. Your little one will love this mattress, but so will you. It’s made with healthy materials like GOTS-certified organic cotton and is free of chemical flame retardants, heavy metals, phthalates, and latex, so you can rest assured (literally) that they’re sleeping on the best. And until they’re ready for that kid’s mattress—the EcoAir Waterproof Baby Crib Mattress is just as safe, comfy, and sustainable. As our little ones enter early childhood, sleep remains just as important. Quality sleep is proven to optimize attention5 and support cognitive performance6. Studies7 have shown that children who do not get the recommended amount of sleep have differences in areas of the brain connected to well-being, intelligence, and memory. Further, sleep is simply associated with a good mood8… And don’t we know it! Bottom line: Sleep is just as important for their mind as it is for their body.
