Description
The Mattress That Grows With Your Child
Dorelan designs the Flip Mattress specifically for children aged 3 to 14 — an age span that covers four distinct phases of physical development, each with different requirements for mattress firmness and support. Rather than replacing the mattress as your child grows, the Flip adapts to them. Explore our full mattress collection → mattresses
Four Phases of Use — One Mattress
The Flip’s defining feature is its ability to provide four different firmness configurations through a combination of rotating and flipping.
Turning the mattress around — head to foot — and overturning it gives four distinct orientations, each delivering a different support level calibrated to a different phase of childhood growth. As your child moves from early childhood into their teenage years, their body weight increases, their postural needs change, and the firmness level they require shifts. The Flip addresses all four stages without requiring a new mattress for each one — a genuinely practical design that saves both money and resources over the course of a child’s development.
Three-Layer Myform Core
The inside of the Flip is composed of a three-layer plate: in the centre, Myform Extension provides support and elasticity, and on the two sides, Myform Air guarantees constant breathability and freshness.
Myform Extension is an elastic, supportive foam that responds to the child’s body weight with progressive support — firm enough to maintain correct spinal alignment, responsive enough to accommodate the constant movement typical of children during sleep.
Myform Air on both sides delivers active breathability throughout the night. Its open-cell structure allows continuous airflow through the mattress, preventing heat and moisture accumulation — keeping the sleeping surface dry, fresh, and hygienic. Children tend to sleep warmer than adults, making effective ventilation particularly important for their comfort and sleep quality.
Anti-Mite Treatment & Hygiene
The cover receives an advanced anti-mite treatment — a meaningful hygiene feature for a children’s mattress. Children are particularly susceptible to dust mite allergies and respiratory sensitivities, and a mattress treated to resist mite colonisation directly supports a healthier sleeping environment throughout the years of use.
The cover is removable and washable, making routine hygiene maintenance straightforward for parents.

Your Bedroom Is the Best Place to Test a Mattress
A few minutes in a showroom is never enough. Sleep Gallery’s home trial gives you 3–4 full nights on the mattress in your own bedroom before you commit. Pay a deposit, receive the trial mattress, and sleep on it properly. If you decide to keep it, we replace it with a brand new one. If you change your mind, we collect it and return your deposit in full. We can remove your old mattress at the same time if needed.
FAQ
Q: How exactly does the four-phase system work — how do I adjust the firmness as my child grows?
The four configurations come from combining two adjustments: rotating the mattress 180 degrees head to foot, and flipping it over to the other side.
This gives four distinct orientations — each delivering a different firmness level suited to a different phase of childhood development. The mattress starts softer for younger, lighter children and progressively moves to firmer configurations as the child grows heavier and their postural support needs increase.
Dorelan recommends specific orientations for specific age and weight ranges — the mattress comes with guidance on which configuration to use and when to switch. The transition between phases requires nothing more than repositioning the mattress on the bed base — no specialist involvement needed. Our sleep experts at 596 14 9977 are happy to advise on which configuration suits your child’s current stage.
Q: What is Myform Air and why does it matter for a children’s mattress specifically?
Myform Air is Dorelan’s open-cell foam designed specifically to maximise breathability and maintain a dry, fresh sleeping surface.
Its highly open-cell structure allows continuous airflow through the mattress surface — preventing heat accumulation and dispersing moisture efficiently throughout the night. This matters particularly for children because children naturally sleep at higher body temperatures than adults and perspire more during sleep. A mattress that traps heat and moisture creates an uncomfortable sleeping environment that disrupts sleep quality and contributes to the conditions that dust mites thrive in.
By placing Myform Air on both sides of the mattress — with Myform Extension in the centre for structural support — Dorelan ensures the sleeping surface is actively ventilated regardless of which orientation the mattress is used in.
Q: Is the Dorelan Flip Mattress safe for children with allergies or respiratory sensitivities?
Yes — the Flip is specifically designed with children’s hygiene and health needs in mind.
The cover receives an advanced anti-mite treatment that actively resists dust mite colonisation — one of the most common triggers for childhood allergies and respiratory sensitivities including asthma. The Myform Air foam on both sleeping surfaces actively ventilates the mattress, reducing the moisture accumulation that dust mites require to thrive.
The cover is fully removable and machine washable, allowing parents to maintain high hygiene standards throughout the mattress’s lifespan — important for allergy management, where regular laundering of sleeping surfaces is one of the most effective practical measures. As with all Dorelan products, the Flip is manufactured in Italy under Dorelan’s hygiene certification standards — the first Italian bedding company to obtain this certification.

Q: At what age should I switch my child to an adult mattress, and how do I know when the Flip has done its job?
The Flip is designed to accompany children from age 3 to approximately 14 — covering the four main phases of childhood growth with its four firmness configurations.
By the age of 14, most children are approaching adult body weight and postural needs — and the firmness requirements for healthy spinal alignment begin to align more closely with adult specifications. At this point, transitioning to an adult mattress is appropriate.
The practical signals that the Flip has reached the end of its useful life for your child are: the child has exceeded the weight range for the firmest available configuration, they report discomfort or the mattress shows visible signs of wear, or they have grown taller than the mattress length. At this stage, our sleep experts can advise on the most appropriate adult mattress based on your child’s sleeping habits and body type. Visit our showroom in central Tbilisi or call 596 14 9977.
Q: The Dorelan Flip costs more than a standard children’s mattress — is it worth the investment?
Yes — and the value case is straightforward when you consider what the Flip replaces.
A standard children’s mattress is purchased at a fixed firmness for a specific stage of development. As the child grows, the mattress becomes progressively less appropriate — too soft for a heavier child, or calibrated for a body size and weight that no longer applies. Most families replace children’s mattresses at least twice between ages 3 and 14 — sometimes more.
The Flip is designed to last the entire 3 to 14 age range through its four-phase firmness system. One purchase covers what typically requires two or three replacements. When calculated over that timeframe, the Flip’s cost per year of appropriate, well-fitted use is often lower than the combined cost of multiple standard mattresses — and it delivers the right support level at each growth stage rather than a compromise.
The three-layer Myform core, anti-mite treatment, and Italian manufacturing standards also mean the Flip is built to last the full development cycle — not just a few years. For parents who want a mattress that is genuinely engineered for their child’s growth rather than simply sized for it, the Flip represents a considered and cost-effective long-term investment
