Jay-Be Simply Kids Small Double Mattress, 4ft Foam-Free Children’s Mattress

Description

A small double (4ft, 120 × 190 cm) is the size many families move to when a child outgrows a single: there is room to sprawl, space for a parent at story time, and it suits teenagers and guest rooms too. The Jay-Be Simply Kids range now comes in this size, so you can choose the same UK-made, foam-free children’s mattress in four versions, from a simple sprung mattress to a fully waterproof one.

Every Simply Kids mattress is made by Jay-Be in the UK, is 100% foam-free, and arrives vacuum packed and rolled. Pick the version that suits your child below; each one is in stock at Jay-Be and carries Jay-Be’s five-year guarantee.

Choose your Simply Kids mattress

• Foam Free Sprung (16 cm): the everyday choice. An open-coil spring unit under a high-density insulator and soft Rebound e-Fibre™, with a soft woven cover and an orange border. Good value for a first big bed.
• Anti-Allergy Sprung (18 cm): the same foam-free build, deeper, with a Purotex® probiotic cover that helps reduce dust-mite allergens. Green border.
• Anti-Allergy e-Pocket® Sprung (18 cm): individually pocketed springs that move on their own, so the mattress follows the body more closely and a restless sleeper disturbs it less. Purotex® anti-allergy cover, yellow border.
• Waterproof Anti-Microbial Sprung (18 cm): a breathable, wipe-clean waterproof cover treated against bacteria, microbes and fungi, with 3D mesh vents in the border. The one to pick for bedwetting, allergies or a busy sleepover bed. Blue border.

Why foam-free matters for children

Instead of polyurethane foam, Jay-Be fills Simply Kids mattresses with Rebound e-Fibre™, a springy fibre made from recycled plastic bottles. Fibre lets air move through the mattress, so children sleep cooler, and there is no new-foam smell when you unwrap it. Jay-Be uses a natural salt-based fire retardant and OEKO-TEX® certified fabrics, and makes the range in its Yorkshire factory with zero waste to landfill.

Which beds does it fit?

All four are standard UK small doubles, 120 × 190 cm. They fit small double bed frames, divan bases and kids’ or teen beds built for a 4ft UK mattress. They are not for EU-size frames (120 × 200 cm or 140 × 200 cm). Depth is 16 cm for the Foam Free Sprung and 18 cm for the other three, which suits most bed frames; on a raised or cabin bed, check that the guard rail stands at least 16 cm above the top of the mattress.

Need a single instead? See the Simply Kids Waterproof single and the rest of the Jay-Be range. For a top bunk, the slimmer Jay-Be Bunk e-Sprung mattress is the safer fit.

Frequently asked questions

Is a small double big enough for a teenager?

Yes. At 120 cm wide it is 30 cm wider than a single, and at 190 cm long it suits most teenagers. If your child is already close to six foot, a 200 cm long mattress and bed may be more comfortable.

Which version should I choose?

For everyday use the Foam Free Sprung is the best value. Choose an Anti-Allergy version if your child has a dust allergy or eczema, the e-Pocket® if they are a restless or heavier sleeper, and the Waterproof if bedwetting or spills are likely.

Will it fit an EU-size bed?

No. These are UK small doubles (120 × 190 cm). EU frames usually take 120 × 200 cm or 140 × 200 cm mattresses, which are a different size.

How long before my child can sleep on it?

Unroll it on the bed and leave it for a few hours to recover its full depth. Turn it head to toe every few weeks for the first few months so it wears evenly.

How do I keep it clean?

Use a washable mattress protector on the woven and anti-allergy versions. The waterproof version can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild detergent; do not soak or machine wash any of them.
