Glideaway® Sleep Products
recently introduced an
innovative youth mattress which
raises the bar on juvenile
bedding. Where most children’s
beds are pint-sized versions of
adult mattresses, the Jubilee is
designed specifically for
children. The use of a different
foam density, 3 pound memory
foam instead of the industry
standard 5 pound, makes the
Jubilee more responsive to a
child’s body.
“With the Jubilee our research
and development team
specifically designed a mattress
for children from the ground
up,” said Glideaway President
Carmi Fredman. “Kids are smaller
than adults and need a mattress
construction better geared to
their size and weight. We use
memory foam that is less dense
and this provides more support
and comfort because the child’s
body conforms to the mattress.
We’ve even made the mattress fun
by adding a pink or blue cover.
Kids are actually excited to go
to bed!”
Doctor’s say that children need
adequate amounts of sleep to
allow their bodies time to
recharge. Research shows that
children who get a good night’s
sleep are healthier and pay
attention better in school.
Available in either pink or blue
velour, each Jubilee mattress
comes with a matching pillow and
retails for $399.
When selecting the right bed for
a child, there are several
important factors to consider.
Compared to mattresses designed
for adults, most foam bedding
for kids doesn’t address the
body map of where a child lays
on the bed. Children also
require a foam that is less
dense in order to be more
responsive to their lighter
weight. Jubilee addresses both
of these concerns.
