Cabin Beds
A cabin bed stands out as a clever space-saving solution, especially in smaller bedrooms. seamlessly blending a cosy sleep area with cleverly integrated storage solutions. These beds usually come with drawers, shelves, and cabinets, providing an efficient way to organise your child's belongings.
Cabin beds may incorporate the following characteristics:
Underbed Drawers: Designed drawers beneath the bed for storing clothes, toys, or bedding.
Shelving Units: Open shelving offers room for storing books and toys. There are different design choices for each type of bed, so you can pick one that matches the room's style and fits your child's preferences.
Pull-Out Desks: A convenient pull-out desk is ideal for study or creative work.
Playful Additions: Some cabin beds include entertaining play tents or curtains for an extra touch of excitement.
Mid-Sleepers
The designers craft mid-sleeper beds to achieve the perfect balance between conserving space and ensuring comfort. These beds have a raised sleeping area, providing space underneath for storage or activities. Positioned higher than cabin beds but lower than high-sleepers, mid-sleepers offer a unique space-saving solution.
Mid-sleepers typically include:
High sleepers
High sleeper beds raise the sleeping platform to a significant height, generating a generous amount of open space underneath.
We generally recommend high-sleeper beds for children aged six and above. Our selection of high beds has undergone extensive safety evaluations to comply with child safety standards. The beds are designed to fit standard single mattresses up to 18cm deep, with guard rails at a safe height.
Pre-teens and teenagers particularly favour high-sleeper beds because of the extra space they offer underneath. This spacious area can be used for studying, reading, or adding a sofa and storage furniture.
These beds typically range in height from 175 cm to 190 cm and come equipped with a ladder for access. Before buying, make sure your child can climb up and down safely and sit comfortably in bed without touching the ceiling.
Bunk Beds
Bunk beds are highly practical for maximising space, making them popular choices for shared bedrooms or accommodating sleepovers. They come in various styles and materials, adding an element of enjoyment to a child's room. These beds make good use of vertical space, creating extra floor space for more furniture or activities, especially in limited areas.
Choosing bunk beds is often cheaper than buying two separate beds, making them a budget-friendly choice for families or individuals looking to save money.
Moreover, bunk beds foster a sense of togetherness among siblings or friends who share a room, encouraging bonding and camaraderie. Some bunk beds come equipped with built-in storage solutions, providing extra space to store clothes, toys, or books, thereby enhancing organisational capabilities.

Your child’s weight, development stage, height, growth potential, and sleeping preferences should all be considered when selecting a mattress size. You can find more information about bed sizes in our bed size guide.

Selecting the appropriate mattress for your child is crucial to promote their general health and wellness. It is important to remember that children have different growth rates and development stages, so this should be considered when buying a mattress.
Is it okay to let my child use a second-hand mattress?
Using a second-hand mattress is possible, but it is generally not recommended as a long-term solution. While it may seem like a cost-effective option, it's best to buy a new one for several reasons: - * Hygiene: Second-hand mattresses may have accumulated dust, dirt, and allergens that can trigger allergies and respiratory issues in children. * Wear and tear: A used mattress may have lost shape and support, leading to discomfort and poor sleep quality. * Pest infestation: Second-hand mattresses may harbour bed bugs, dust mites, or other pests, which can infest your child's sleeping area. * Safety concerns: A used mattress may have tears, holes, or other forms of damage, which can pose a safety hazard to your child. To ensure your child's comfort, safety, and health, we recommend purchasing a new mattress that complies with safety standards and regulations. However, if you decide to use a second-hand mattress, carefully inspect it for any signs of damage, pests, or other issues before letting your child use it.
At what age are cabin beds, mid-sleeper beds,high-sleepers, and bunk beds appropriate?
Following safety guidelines, manufacturers advise against children under 6 years of age using mid- and high-sleepers. While some cabin beds are lower and may accommodate children over 4 years old, it's crucial to check the product information for specifics. Above all, it's essential to emphasise that children should never play on a bunk bed, high-sleeper, mid-sleeper, or cabin bed to prevent potential accidents. Safety should always be a top priority.
What age should a toddler from a cot to a big bed?
The truth is, there's no set timeline for parents to adhere to when transitioning a child from a cot to a big bed. Determining when to make the switch to a toddler bed varies, typically occurring between 18 months and three-and-a-half years old. Certain behavioural cues can signal a child's readiness for this significant change. *They can climb out of their cot. *They are nearing completion of toilet training and may need access to the toilet during the night. *They are physically outgrowing their cot. Understanding these signs will help you identify when your little one is ready for the move, and making this transition as smooth as possible is essential.
