5 Little Monkeys Mattress Review

5 Little Monkeys is a US-made, kids-only sleep brand. It sells two bundle-ready youth mattresses at about $479 to $599 on sale. You get a free pillow and waterproof protector, a 100-night trial and a 15-year warranty. It's best if you're a parent of a child aged 3 to 18 who wants a washable, accident-ready bed. It comes in Twin, Full and Queen only. It sells direct, and third-party reviews are limited.

Which mattress suits your sleep needs?

Choose the Advanced Hybrid 9-inch if your child sleeps hot or moves a lot, or needs livelier coil support. Choose it too if you want the 9-inch height. Choose the 8-inch all-foam Kids Sleep System if you want the flagship low-profile bundle for bunk, trundle, platform or daybeds. It's also easier to wash after accidents.
