Mattresses for children have become safer according to Stiftung Warentest

Nine mattresses measuring 140 x 70 centimetres - for children up to the age of six - were tested by "Stiftung Warentest". None gave cause for complaint. Nevertheless, the testers advise against mattresses with one particular feature.

Once again, Emma has been awarded top marks in the latest test by "Stiftung Warentest". Of the nine models tested, the Emma children's mattress received a "very good" (overall rating of 1.5). This model is currently not available in our shop.

The second-placed children's mattress, the "Brise" model from Träumeland, is available from us. It was awarded an overall rating of 1.8, which means "good". The model has a baby and a children's side, with the foam being slightly softer for babies. The Träumeland model even received the top mark in the "cover" category.

The "Air Allround" mattress from Julius Zöllner, which we also have in our range, received the grade "satisfactory" (overall grade 2.8). Like the "Brise" from Träumeland, it also has two sides to lie on.

The "Alvimed" mattress from Alvi, which was also tested by "Stiftung Warentest", is currently only available in the size 60 x 120 centimetres. The identical but slightly larger mattress received a "satisfactory" in the test (overall rating 2.8).

All test mattresses are safe

The editorial team at "Stiftung Warentest" has reassuring news for worried parents. In contrast to previous tests, this time there were no mattresses that stood out due to safety deficiencies. In 2018, the testers criticised mattresses that were far too soft and could cause small children to suffocate. In 2021, the problem was small parts that children could tear off and choke on. The manufacturers have obviously successfully made improvements.
