When it comes to what mattresses my kids sleep on, I'm pretty particular. I look for quality materials to promote healthy sleep (strictly no fiberglass, here). Like this Helix Kids mattress, down to $562 for a twin at Helix.

It's also important to me that a mattress can grow with them, so I don't need to worry about replacing it too soon, so a flippable design with firmer and softer sides is a must, and of course it must be excellent value for money.

This is a dual-sided, flippable mattress made to adapt to your child as they grow. One side is made of firmer foam, to be safe and supportive for younger toddlers. The other side is softer, made for children eight and up. Both sides are made of non-toxic materials and are water repellent to help prevent stains. There's 25% off in the Helix Black Friday sale, but if you use our TOMS27 code you'll get 27% off instead, and a twin comes down to $547 (was $749) while a full is $729 (was $998).
