8 Inch Mattresses
For lighter adults, teens, and growing kids, yes. Eight inches gives more cushioning depth than a 6 inch bed, so it handles a wider range of bodies and sleep positions while staying low-profile. It is a strong fit for teen rooms, guest beds, and lighter...
Teens, kids past the toddler bed, guest rooms, and lighter adults. An 8 inch mattress is the natural step up from a 6 inch kids bed as a child grows, offering more support without towering on the frame. It also makes a comfortable spare-room or guest...
