Birch Kids Natural Mattress Construction

The flippable Birch Kids Natural Mattress has two distinct firmness levels. Read the following sections to learn how the two sides are made.

Organic Cotton Cover

The comfort starts with an organic, hypoallergenic cotton cover. The soft, quilted fabric is made of organic cotton certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). The breathable, slightly stretchy cover wicks away moisture and keeps things cool.

Wool Flame Retardant

Directly below the cotton cover is a 1” organic wool flame-retardant layer. Besides protection against flammability, the wool adds a plush feel to the surface of the mattress. The wool also acts as a barrier to dust mites and other potential allergens. If your child has wool allergies, however, it’s best to ask your doctor before using the Birch Kids mattress.

Firmer Comfort Layer

On the medium-firm side of the Birch Kids Natural Mattress, a 1” natural latex layer provides an ideal combination of comfort and support. It’s also a naturally breathable material that helps keep the mattress cool. Natural latex is a durable material that enhances the lifespan of the mattress.

Individually Wrapped Steel Coils

The 6” coil core adds durability and support for both sides of the mattress. Hundreds of individually wrapped coils adapt to changing sleep positions throughout the night. The core provides additional temperature control as air flows through the coils.

Softer Natural Latex Comfort Layer

A softer 1” layer of natural latex provides medium-softcomfort on the softer side of the mattress. This responsive material combines body contouring, breathability and support for optimal comfort.

Organic Wool Fire Retardant (Softer Side)

Another 1” layer of organic wool offers fire retardant protection for the softer side. It provides the same plush comfort and protection against allergens as it does for the former side.

Organic Cotton Cover (Softer Side)

The hypoallergenic, organic cotton cover completes the ultra-comfortable softer side of the Birch Kids Natural Mattress. The slight tufting of the quilted cover adds to the overall comfort of the soft side.

Choice of Mattress Size for Your Child

The Birch Kids Natural Mattress is 8” thick. To accommodate kids as they grow, it is available in two sizes.

• Twin: 39” x 75”
• Full: 54” x 75”

Two Firmness Levels: Medium-Firm and Medium-Soft

The flippable mattress has a firmer side and a softer side, as described on the product website. On a firmness scale of 1 to 10 with 10 the firmest, the firm side has a medium-firm rating of 6-7. The softer side has a medium soft rati g of 4-5.

Birch Kids Natural Mattress Review: Pros and Any Limitations

Our team has researched and reviewed the Birch Kids Natural Mattress. Now that you’ve learned how it made, we’ll share our opinion of its pros as well as any limitations.

Support for Growth and Development

The coil core and natural latex layers provide support to both sides of the Birch Kids Natural Mattress. The firmer side, according to the company website, offers optimal support for ages 3-7 years as they adapt to the change from crib to bed. It’s also a good choice if your child sleeps in their stomach or back. The supportive materials help keep the spine in proper alignment and prevent sinking too low into the mattress.

Pressure Relief

On the softer side, a softer latex layer combines with the quilted cover for a plush sleep surface. The latex contours to your child’s body, providing pressure relief to the spine, shoulders and hips. The result is an ultra-comfortable sleep surface, especially ideal for side sleepers. The company website recommends the softer side of the mattress for ages 8-12 years.

Temperature Regulation

Both sides of the Birch Kids Natural Mattress contain materials that help regulate temperature. Your child can sleep cool and dry, thanks to the breathable organic cotton cover. The fabric wicks away moisture and allows air flow to carry away body heat. Similarly, the breathable natural latex and individually wrapped coils help regulate temperature by promoting air circulation.

Hypoallergenic Materials

Your child’s health and comfort are paramount considerations when shopping for the best mattress for kids. If your child has allergies, they need mattress materials that won’t trigger an allergic reaction. We think you’ll appreciate the hypoallergenic, organic cotton cover of the Birch Kids Natural Mattress. The wool flame-retardant layer also keeps some allergens away, including dust particles and dust mites. If your child is sensitive to wool, however, talk to your doctor before buying this mattress for your child.

Birch Kids Natural Mattress Review: Final Thoughts

With its flippable design, the Birch Kids Natural Mattress offers two comfort levels for a growing child: medium-firm and medium-soft. The spring core provides support to both sides, as well as air circulation. Organic cotton and latex add breathability to keep the mattress cool and dry.

We are impressed with the natural, nontoxic materials in this mattress. From the hypoallergenic, organic cotton cover to the natural latex comfort layers, we believe that the Birch Kids Natural Mattress is true to its name. Plus, it meets strict certification standards, including GREENGUARD Gold and GOTS. We think you’ll also like the fact that the flame retardant layer is made of fiberglass-free organic wool.

Unlike many new mattresses in a box, the Birch Kids Natural Mattress produces little or no off-gassing. That’s because the foam is natural latex and does not contain polyurethane.

You can have peace of mind about purchasing the Birch Kids Natural Mattress. It’s backed by a 100-night sleep trial and a long limited lifetime warranty. You and your child can take your time deciding if the mattress is a good fit. And the warranty ensures that the company stands by the quality of their mattress.
