At Mattress Advisor, you’ll find comprehensive, unbiased reviews on the best mattresses and bedding products and thoroughly researched tips for getting your best sleep.
Did you know that 1 in 5 children live in poverty in the US, and many of these families cannot afford beds? Children often have to share a small bed with their parents or siblings, sleep in a sleeping bag, or simply sleep on the floor.
Children are the highest age-based population in poverty in the US. Twenty-two percent of kids in America live below the poverty line—the highest percentage among developed countries. Child poverty affects children’s nutrition, self-perception, behavior, and more. But, with sleep being one of the most important things that human’s do, bed poverty, perhaps, takes one of the biggest tolls on poor children.
As you can imagine, not having a bed leads to poor nights of sleep, lower sleep quality, and even sleep deprivation. This is especially harmful for children because, statistically, they need more hours of sleep per night than adults do; they need those hours to refresh their brain.
Childhood is a crucial time for learning, physical development, and retaining the information they are learning. Children that suffer from sleep deprivation have lower academic achievement due to lowered cognitive function.
According to a 2009 study, poor sleep affects children’s grades and academic performance and adversely affects behavior up to two years later.
Other effects of sleep deprivation include the following:
Clearly, this is not what we want for America’s children, so what can we do?
Children living in poverty without a bed has not escaped our attention here at Mattress Advisor; it’s time for us to take action. We’ve come up with an exciting new initiative to help tackle child bed poverty: starting by partnering with Beds for Kids.
Beds for Kids is a non-profit that is dedicated to providing beds and furniture to children and their families in need. Mattress Advisor recently pledged to donate over 100 new mattresses and help deliver these beds to families without one.
Want to help get involved? Donate to Bed for Kids or use the following resource directory of child shelters across the US to help out in your community.
Across the country there are shelters, organizations, and ministries dedicated to helping poverty-stricken children. We’ve complied a list of these centers and facilities by state, various ways to contact them, and a list of the services they provide.

But, you must keep your gentleness and your smile. It is not enough to give bread and soup, this the rich can do. You are the servant of the poor. They are your masters, terribly sensitive and exacting as you will see; but, the uglier and dirtier they are, the more unjust and bitter, the more you must give them of your love. It is because of your love, only your love, that the poor will forgive you the bread you give them.” In keeping with the gospel mandate of charity, we shall accept the challenge and offer food and shelter to those in need in our society, as their servant. |
