Sleep. That glorious, magical thing parents dream about while their kids are bouncing off the walls at bedtime. If you've ever begged the universe for your child to just go to sleep, you're not alone. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back with some clever tips to help your little one drift off peacefully (and stay asleep, hooray!).
1. Stick to a Bedtime Routine (Even if You’re Running on Coffee)
Kids thrive on consistency. A simple routine of thinking about a bath, pajamas, book, bed helps signal to their brain that it’s time to wind down. Keep calm, keep it cosy, and avoid anything too exciting before the lights go out. Sorry, no tickle fights just before bed.
2. Set the Sleepy Scene
A comfy bed is key. That’s where the Eco Kids Mattress works its magic. Made with natural, non-toxic materials, it’s breathable, hypoallergenic and totally free from nasties, giving your child a healthier sleep space from the get-go. Plus, with extra edge support and super-strong springs, it’s built for bouncy bodies (and even sleepy grown-ups during story time).
3. Know Their Sleepy Signs
Each age comes with its own sleepy cues. Newborns might rub their eyes or fuss. Toddlers might get hyper; overtired kids often act more like they’ve had a double espresso than someone who needs a nap. Recognising these signs early helps you get ahead of the sleep struggle.
4. Keep the Bedroom Cool and Dark
Kids sleep best in a room that’s cool, quiet, and dark. Use blackout blinds if needed and ditch the screens at least an hour before bed. Blue light is the enemy of melatonin (aka the sleepy hormone).
Bonus tip: Eco Kids mattresses feature bamboo lyocell fabric that’s super breathable, which helps regulate body temperature and keeps your kids cool through the night
5. Laugh Off the Silly Sleep Moments
Ever found your kid fast asleep with a superhero cape on and a toy dinosaur as a pillow? Kids’ sleep habits are hilarious and embrace them. Make memories and treasure the quirks.
6. Keep Calm and Mattress On
If your child’s tossing and turning, it could be their mattress. The Eco Kids range is designed specifically for growing bodies. With GECA-certified foams and 100 percent natural cotton, you’re giving your kids the best start to a healthy sleep routine.
So, whether you’ve got a tiny tot or a big growing kid, remember that good sleep starts with a safe, supportive sleep space and a few clever tricks up your pajama sleeve. Sweet dreams are made of routines, calm nights and one cracker of a mattress.
