Children’s Beds

Kids’ beds for Girls and Boys

We have plenty of options to choose from in our range of children’s beds, with designs suitable for both boys and girls. Our kids’ beds come in a wide variety of frames and styles, in different colours and materials to suit all tastes. The different types of children’s beds include:

Standard children’s bed

Our range of standard beds are simply just a normal bed. They are a classic choice of children’s beds, especially if it’s your child’s first bed. These kids’ beds can last your child from when they’re ready for a big bed right through to their teenage years before upgrading to a bigger size.

Bunk beds

Bunk beds are always crowd-pleasers as they have space for two children to sleep, whether that's for siblings or sleepovers. With either a traditional or modified ladder, these kids‘ beds are perfect for children who share a room.

These children’s beds are technically safe for children of all ages; however, it’s recommended that children under the age of 6 sleep on the bottom bunk. As bunk beds are high beds, the top bunk is quite far from the ground and would be more suitable for older children.

Cabin & desk beds

Cabin and desk beds can encompass a bed, cupboards, shelves, and desk all in one, making them a great choice if you’re looking for a multi-functional bed for kids. These children’s beds are elevated with a ladder and have storage that fits neatly underneath. They offer versatility, and they are great for smaller bedrooms as they maximise floor space. This type of kid’s bed is available in mid and high-sleeper options, which we will talk about below.

Mid sleeper beds

Mid sleepers are ideal for children aged 6+ as they are elevated but not as high up, making them ideal if you or your little one isn’t comfortable with sleeping at high heights. Mid sleepers offer both a sleeping area and a play area underneath, with either a desk or a place to store toys.

High sleeper beds

High sleepers are suitable for older children, as these kids’ beds are elevated and accessible by a ladder. These children’s beds are more popular for older kids and teenagers as a desk, chair, and extra storage can be utilised underneath to keep a bedroom de-cluttered, work, and relax. High sleepers are one of the best kids’ beds with storage.

Toddler beds

Toddler beds are perfect for your little one after they’ve outgrown their cot and to get them ready for their first standard-size kid’s bed. They have rounded edges to stop any bumps, are lower to the ground, and have raised side panels to stop your child from rolling out. These kids’ beds have fun and colourful designs with popular characters and themes to get them excited for bedtime.

Children’s beds with storage

Many of our kid’s beds also come with storage units which help keep your child organised, but also keep their room clean and tidy. Kids’ storage beds are also good for those with smaller bedrooms, or those that are sharing a room as they maximise space in the room making the room appear larger.

This range of children’s beds includes standard beds with a divan or ottoman storage, cabin beds such as mid and high sleepers, as well as toddler beds with storage.

What size kids' beds and mattresses should you get?

When buying a children’s bed and mattress one of the most important factors to consider is age. This impacts the longevity of the bed, your child’s comfort, safety, and style preferences. Our beds for kids come in four sizes to suit every age:

Toddler mattresses

Toddler beds are suitable for children aged 2 to 3 years old who have outgrown a cot but aren’t yet ready for a kids’ 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.

Children’s single beds

Single beds are the most popular size for children’s beds as they’re suitable for ages 4 and older, so have great longevity. A single mattress is 90cm in width and 190cm in length. Most bunk beds, high sleepers and mid sleepers require a single mattress.

European single kids’ beds

The difference between a children’s single bed and Euro single beds is that Euro single beds are 10cm longer. Euro single mattresses are 90cm in width and 200cm in length. Our kids’ Euro single beds are all mid sleeper or bunk bed styles which are more suited to older children and teens.

Kids’ double beds

Children’s double beds are most common for older kids that want a more ‘grown-up bed’ and will last long into adulthood. Double mattresses are 135cm in width and 190cm in length.

Children’s bed styles

All of our kids’ bed frames come in different materials and colours which all boast their own benefits. Metal and wooden kids’ beds are sleek and classic designs which are long-lasting and strong. They are also easy to clean and maintain, meaning any mess that your child may make during playtime can easily be cleaned up.

Faux leather and fabric beds offer a more contemporary style for your kids’ bedroom. These kids’ beds are also durable and simple to clean, but instead of ornate frames, they add a softer feel to the bedroom.

Of course all styles can offer storage, and they all come in various colours such as white, grey, black and more. You're bound to find a children’s bed you love and one that will last your little loved one through their childhood.

How safe are kids’ beds?

Our children’s beds are crafted with safety in mind for every age 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 are lower to the floor and ensure smooth edges throughout the frame to avoid any nasty bumps.
