Kids Beds

What styles of kids beds are available?

As children grow, change, and mature over the years, it is important to find a bed which is tailored to their needs. We have a variety of bed frames available to suit all ages, many with multiple functions and features. These are the different styles to consider:

Standard beds - Simple and elegant bed frames which are available in single, Euro single and double sizes. Some standard bed frames also offer storage spaces in their bases.

Cabin & desk beds - The epitome of storage beds, cabin beds can encompass a bed, cupboards, shelves and desk all in one unit. The bed is elevated, with a ladder to climb up and down and storage furniture neatly underneath. These are available in the mid sleeper and high sleeper options depending on the age of your child.

Bunk beds - Every child's dream bed, a bunk bed. They have space for two children to sleep, whether that's for siblings or sleepovers. With either a traditional or modified ladder, these beds are perfect for children who share a room. They also come with a range of storage options including shelves and drawers.

High sleepers - Suitable for older children, a high sleeper is an elevated bed and accessible by a ladder. High sleepers are great teenager beds as they provide space underneath to sleep, work and store items.

Mid sleepers – Mid sleeper beds are ideal for children aged 6+ who have small rooms and not a lot of storage options. You can store toys, clothing, books and games underneath the bed and everything pushes away nice and neatly.They can also come with a desk option, giving your little ones the perfect place to do their homework or enjoy arts and crafts.

Toddler beds – Toddler beds are perfect for your little one after they have outgrown their cot. They have rounded edges to stop any bumping of heads on sharp edges. They are also designed lower to the ground than other bed styles and have raised side panels to stop your child from rolling out. We have a collection of toddler character beds which includes a Disney Princess carriage and Disney's Cars.

What are the different sizes of kids beds and mattresses?

Children's beds are available in four different sizes, each suitable for different age ranges, bed styles, and room sizes.

Toddler beds - Toddler beds are suitable for children who have outgrown a cot but aren't yet ready for a single bed. Toddler mattresses are 70cm in width and 140cm in length. This will usually last your child until they are around 4-5 years old.

Single beds - Single beds are the most popular size for children's beds as they are suitable for ages 4 and older. A single mattress is 90cm in width and 190cm in length. Most bunk beds, high sleepers and mid sleepers also carry single mattresses.

Euro single beds - The difference between single beds and Euro single beds is that Euro single beds are 10cm longer.These mattresses are 90cm in width and 200cm in length. If your child is particularly tall or would prefer a bed that is likely to suit them until they are a teenager, a euro single bed might be a great option. Our kids Euro single beds are all mid sleeper or bunk bed styles which are more suited to older children and teens.

Double beds To ensure ultimate comfort and longevity despite any growth spurts, a double bed will last your child long into adult hood. The mattresses for a double bed are 135cm in width and 190cm in length.

Other things to consider when buying a kids bed

Colour and design is one of the most important consideration when it comes to children’s beds. We have a wide range of bed frames to suit you and your child's taste, personality, and bedroom décor. From fabric beds to wooden beds to metal beds, we stock a variety of materials and finishes to add texture and flair to any bedroom. If your child is looking for a white bed, a grey bed, or a black bed, we offer many neutral shades which will stand the test of time. If a burst of colour if what you're after, look for our painted wooden styles or character beds for littler ones. Many of our kids beds also offer great storage solutions from shelving to drawers.

Finally safety is a very important aspect when buying a kid’s bed. Our children’s beds are crafted with safety in mind through a variety of features. For example, high barriers or ladders with extra foot room on bunk beds, mid sleepers, or high sleepers. Toddlers beds especially are lower to the floor and ensure soft edges throughout the frame to avoid any injuries.

Why not consider coupling up your kids bed with some kids bedding or kids bedroom furniture to give your child a room they love and enjoy.
