Sleep time looks different for every child. Some kids love routine and snuggle in as soon as the lights go out. Others toss and turn or sneak out for “just one more drink” every night. If you have ever wondered why your little one needs five books before bed or ends up sideways by morning, it might just come down to their sleep personality.
Understanding your child’s sleep style can help you create a more supportive bedtime routine and choose the right sleep setup for their needs. Here are some common sleep personalities parents have spotted across Aussie homes.
The Starfish Snoozer
This little legend falls asleep instantly and spreads out like they own the bed. They need plenty of space and strong edge support to avoid rolling off. The Eco Kids mattress is perfect for these kids, offering 70 percent more support around the edges to keep them safe and comfy all night.
The Bedtime Negotiator
They are the kings and queens of delaying tactics. Five more minutes, another glass of water, one more story. These kids need a consistent routine, a calm nook and a mattress that feels so inviting they cannot resist climbing in. Natural fabrics like those in the Eco Kids mattress can help make bedtime feel soothing and safe.
The Midnight Mover
These active sleepers roll, wriggle and flip throughout the night. A mattress with firm support and minimal bounce helps them stay centred. The high coil count in the Eco Kids mattress ensures their spine stays aligned no matter how they move.
The Snuggle Bug
These sweethearts love soft textures and need to feel cocooned to fall asleep. Layer the bed with soft cotton sheets, a breathable doona and a plush mattress top. The Eco Kids mattress combines comfort with natural softness that makes bedtime feel like a warm hug.
The Light Sleeper
Easily disturbed by sound, light or movement, these kids need a quiet space and a mattress that reduces disruptions. A supportive base with anti-allergenic materials like those in the Eco Kids design helps create a peaceful sleep environment.
So, what sleep personality does your child have? Once you know, you can tailor their sleep setup to support deeper, healthier rest. Whether they are a Starfish or a Snuggle Bug, the right mattress can make all the difference.
