The Nectar Kids Memory Foam Mattress is the pick for a bottom bunk, or for a top bunk whose maker allows an 8-inch mattress. Nectar describes it as an 8-inch flippable mattress with firmer support for little ones on one side and extra cushioning for older kids on the other. Its main advantage over every other pick here is cleaning: the cover is removable, machine washable and treated to resist stains and moisture. Nectar lists OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified fabrics, CertiPUR-US certified foams and 100% fiberglass-free construction, and it backs the mattress with a 365-night home trial and its Forever Warranty. The twin was $299 when we checked during Nectar's Black Friday sale. The limit is height. At 8 inches it is 2 inches taller than the Helix Low Profile, which leaves less guardrail above the sleeping surface, so compare it with the bunk's label before buying it for a top bunk.
