Kids Beds

Kids need great sleep to grow, learn and feel their best. The right bed supports healthy posture, encourages independence and helps keep their room tidy — a win for parents and children alike. Here’s what to consider when choosing the perfect bed for your child.

Bed size depends on age:

Ages 2–4 years: A small single (starter bed) is perfect for little ones transitioning from a cot.

Ages 4–10 years: A single or mid sleeper offers more space and often includes handy storage or play areas.

Ages 10–16 years: A single or small double provides extra room for growing kids and early teens.

Ages 16+ years: A small double is ideal for growing teens, offering both comfort and space to last into adulthood.

Small doubles are a smart, futureproof choice for long-term comfort.

For ages 4–6:

• Low beds or mid sleepers with secure ladders
• Strong guard rails for peace of mind
• Slats that ensure mattress won’t shift
  

Avoid high sleepers or top bunks until they’re confident climbers.

Choosing the right bed depends on room size and your child’s confidence level:

Mid Sleeper:

Best for ages 4+, offering storage and play space beneath — great for smaller rooms and imaginative play.

High Sleeper:

Ideal for ages 6+, with room underneath for a desk or sofa zone, making it perfect for study or relaxation.

High sleepers are especially great for older kids who need a dedicated study or chill-out space.
