teen sleep hygiene here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOne of the best things I can do for my teens is to give them what they need to get a good night\u2019s sleep. That includes a supportive mattress, along with blackout curtains and possibly some white noise. But let\u2019s face it, very little can wake a sleeping teenager, am I right?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nHow well you slept last night has a lot to do with how much sleep you'll get tonight. That's because when you're chronically sleep deprived or getting poor quality sleep, exhaustion sets in. Tossing and turning because you can't get comfortable, then waking up stiff and sore, or worse, with back pain, can keep you from feeling refreshed in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Getting a solid night's sleep is of the utmost importance for growing kids. The right mattress is crucial. Especially during the teen years when children go through several growth spurts and may experience growing pains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So how do you pick a quality mattress?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nFor years, we\u2019ve slept on memory foam mattresses. This year we replaced my daughter\u2019s with a latex hybrid with a patented coil system. We couldn\u2019t be happier with our choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Nolah Nurture is made up of seven layers that include a 6\u201d support coil layer and Talalay latex. The layers are topped with wool, then completed with a GOTS certified organic cotton cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Made with kids and teens in mind, it is a double-sided, health-forward mattress<\/em> with all the top safety certificates<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe firmness options are part of the double-sided, flip mattress design. Yes, it's flippable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just beneath the organic cotton cover is a layer of premium wool. The layer of wool serves to add cooling and breathability while also serving as a natural fire barrier. (Because we don\u2019t want flame retardants sprayed on anything we\u2019ll be coming into constant contact with.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you take a look at wool under a microscope you\u2019ll see pinecone-shaped scales over the fibers that hold the wool together. This makes wool uniquely resistant to burning. Wool is also breathable making it more comfortably cool than sleeping directly on a foam mattress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since fibers are crammed together and entwined an environment is created with very little oxygen. Wool is a breathable fabric, which keeps you cooler when you sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the middle of this double-sided mattress are the support coils and Talalay latex, the comfort layers, to help relieve pressure points and allow support for growing bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Nolah Nurture is a comfortable mattress that is perfect for combination sleepers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benefits of the Nolah Nurture include:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nGOTS organic cotton and wool<\/li> OEKO-TEX 100 Class 1 Certified (this means every single material used in the product has been tested for harmful substances and that the article, therefore, is harmless for human health. It is the world's best-known label for textiles tested for harmful substances.)<\/li> 100% Made in the USA (right in Colorado!<\/em>)<\/li>Has two sides each with a different firmness level<\/li> Targeted support using Tri-Zone(TM) coils that comfort the body, especially the lower back, which some mattresses fail to provide. These Tri-Zone coils offer even weight distribution and reduce motion transfer.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nHybrid Mattress Construction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe Nolah Nurture combines ultra-durable, stabilizing pocketed coils with super durable Talalay latex. Talalay latex is a more advanced and superior type of latex made from rubber trees<\/strong>. This, opposed to memory foam which is a man-made product. In addition, Talalay latex doesn\u2019t off-gas. Meaning there is no need to \u201cair out\u201d the room when you first open your new mattress as no harmful chemicals are involved<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn addition, Talalay latex is known for its conforming ability which cradles an adolescent\u2019s joints and back to provide good spinal alignment. The natural latex provides pressure relief for countless hours of sleep; especially important since a child\u2019s circadian rhythm changes as they hit the teen years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The top layer is quilted and soft to the touch, however, we still added a mattress protector, as I do for all our mattresses. Even if your mattress comes with a lifetime warranty, this keeps it cleaner than using a sheet alone over a mattress.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEven Crumpet can't resist the organic cotton cover on the Nolah Nurture! She sleeps on the bed every night and even has a set of steps to assist her. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThat\u2019s why a hybrid mattress was our top pick for a twin mattress for our teens. Hybrid models typically have a layer of memory foam in addition to a layer of coils. \u201cTraditional memory foam and innerspring mattresses are notorious for their lack of support.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Nolah Nurture, both the stabilizing coils as well as the natural latex conform to the unique shape of the body allowing them to have comfortable sleep, night after night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The coils also allow for better airflow and less sweating than in 100% memory foam mattresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best Flippable Mattress<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe double-sided design of the Nolah Nurture lets kids decide their bed's firmness level based on their sleep preferences and where they are in their development. Regardless of their size and age, your child will find comfort in this cushioning and supportive hybrid mattress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we received the Nolah Nurture I was pleased to find that it was a flippable mattress. The mattress was going on my daughter\u2019s bed. She wasn\u2019t sure what type of mattress best suited her preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a flippable mattress, she can try both soft and firm to see which side gives her a good night\u2019s sleep. In fact, she says it's the best bed she's ever slept on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One perk she mentioned in particular that she appreciates is that the mattress has a bit more edge support than her previous memory foam style mattress. In her exact words, she doesn't “slide off like with the other mattress<\/em>.” Even on the soft mattress side<\/em>, it offers a solid support system with its high-quality contouring that makes it the best mattress for teenagers.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe luxury firm side has a firmness level around 7-8 that would qualify as a medium-firm mattress, excellent for back and stomach sleepers. Meanwhile, the plush side is a 4-5, a bit more like a medium soft mattress, perfect for side sleepers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re a parent with several children, you may have passed a mattress from one child to the next as we often have. With a flippable mattress, you have options that will please both children who are either back sleepers or stomach sleepers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teens and adults alike will appreciate the responsiveness of this mattress no matter which sleep position they end up choosing. With two firmness levels, it provides optimal comfort and support for the different stages of your child's growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
