Which children's bed should I choose?

Choosing the right children’s bed can be an important decision for both the child and the parents. A good children’s bed provides a sense of security, ensures a good night’s sleep, and creates space for development and play. However, with many different types of children’s beds available, it can be difficult to choose.

In this guide, we help you find the best children’s bed for your child.

Choose a children’s bed based on age

The child’s age plays a significant role in choosing a bed. Younger children need security and a low height, while older children need more space.

2–4 years: Low children’s bed or Montessori bed
4–8 years: Mid sleeper bed, house bed, canopy bed
8+ years: High sleeper bed, bunk bed

Consider needs and functions

When choosing a children’s bed, it is important to consider the family’s everyday needs.

Ask yourself:
- Do you need storage?
- Is there limited space in the room?
- Should the bed grow with the child?

A children’s bed with storage is ideal for smaller rooms, while a modular bed can be adapted over time.

The most popular types of children’s beds

Junior bed

A junior bed is perfect as the first bed after a cot. The low height provides the child with both security and independence.

Single children’s bed

A classic children’s bed in 90x200 cm is a flexible solution that can be used for many years.

Montessori bed

A Montessori floor bed is a low bed that allows the child the freedom to get in and out independently. It is ideal for supporting the child’s independence.

Mid sleeper bed, high sleeper bed or bunk bed

If you want to make the most of the space, a high sleeper bed can create room for play, storage or a desk underneath. A bunk bed creates space in the room and multiple sleeping areas. The bunk bed can be used either as a shared bed for siblings or in a holiday home.
