About the Silentnight Courage Waterproof Kids Mattress
Last checked
Moving from toddler accidents to a more grown-up sleep surface is the point of the Silentnight Courage Waterproof Kids Mattress: one side is easy-wipe and waterproof, the other is quilted for a softer, more conventional feel once night-time training is less of a concern. It is a traditional open-coil children’s mattress rather than a pocket-sprung or foam build, with EcoComfort fibres over the spring unit and a firm, 5 of 5 feel. The dual-sided design is the useful bit. Open-coil support is a sensible, cost-aware choice for a child’s mattress because it gives broad, even resistance across a lighter body, but it is less precise than the individual compression of pocket springs, so it will not contour in the same way around shoulders and hips. The waterproof face is the more practical side, not the plush one; easy-clean surfaces usually feel flatter and less yielding than quilted fabric, while the quilted reverse should feel more familiar once protection matters less. For this category, the accident-friendly flip design is more generous than the spring system: the support core is basic compared with the £300-plus pocket-sprung kids’ tier, but the two-surface construction is genuinely useful for a mattress aimed at children aged three and over.
The firm open-coil base and wipe-clean face make this best matched to children who sleep mainly on their back, with some front sleepers also likely to get enough support because the surface resists dipping through the middle. Praise clusters around the waterproof side making night-time accidents easier to deal with, and several families describe the mattress as comfortable enough for toddlers moving into a first bigger bed; one parent also found it acceptable for occasional co-sleeping, which is a useful real-bedroom signal rather than a spec-sheet promise. Side sleepers are the awkward fit here, especially children with a more pronounced shoulder-and-hip shape, because a firm open-coil mattress gives uniform lift rather than the deeper pressure relief found in softer foam or pocket-sprung children’s mattresses. The main caution is firmness. The complaint pattern is not severe - even the lower scores are still positive - but the longest feedback notes that it felt firmer than expected, which lines up with the stated feel rather than contradicting it. Breathability should be better on the quilted fibre side than on the waterproof side, because EcoComfort fibres can move air more freely than an accident-resistant surface, though hot sleepers may still notice the protective face feels less airy. Couples are not the target audience, but for a parent lying beside a child, open coils can feel a little more connected under movement than pocket springs. Best for dry-night training and back sleeping. Skip side-sleeping children who need hip-and-shoulder give - a softer foam or pocket-sprung kids’ mattress is the better fit.

Seems sturdy and comfy enough, and the waterproof side is proper handy for night-time accidents. Its a bit firmer than I thought but my kid still sleeps fine on it.
Good choice for kids learning to sleep dry, handy waterproof side makes life much simpler. Good comfort and quality too.
The Courage mattress is a great solution for when your child is moving to their first big bed. As it is dual sided with it having a waterproof cover on one side and a quilted surface on the other. This is the perfect option that is designed to support your child as they grow.
We love the mattress so far and my 3 year old sleeps so well in it. Currently using the waterproof side but looking forward to switching over when hes older.
Lovely mattress. Perfect for my little one and also comfy enough for us to co sleep with her on some nights.
A comfy mattress for my little girl. Especially like the waterproof side while she's still learning to stay dry at night.
