Children change fast. The bed that was perfect at three is too small at six and too "babyish" at ten. That is why we at LIFETIME Kidsrooms think differently about children's beds: what if the bed could simply grow with the child?
That question is the heart of LIFETIME Original.
Find out how to Build or Rebuild a Lifetime bed here.
The Lifetime Original is the basic bed on which everything else is built. Many of LIFETIME’s beds start out as a single basic bed. This means it can be shaped and adapted as your child grows: from their first proper bed to a bunk bed, a cabin bed or a four-poster bed. You don’t have to buy a new bed every time your child grows. You simply build on the one you already have.
That’s LIFETIME in a nutshell: Danish design since 1972, and furniture that grows with your child rather than being replaced.
- One foundation, many possibilities (design & flexibility)
- Buy once, build on it (durability & anti-consumerism)
- Classic design since 1972 (heritage & craftsmanship)
The story: one basic bed, many possibilities
LIFETIME Kidsrooms is a Danish brand founded in 1972. Original is where our idea of furniture that follows the child takes shape. Many of our beds are built on the same basic bed, which means you can shape and adapt it to your family's needs. You start with the foundation, and then you build on it.
A bed does not have to be replaced when the child's needs change. It can get a new function, a new look and a new place in the room.
What does the Original collection include?
Every bed in the collection shares the same DNA: simple lines, calm colours and a sturdy construction. The collection comes in white and whitewash, both easy to combine with the rest of the children's room.
- Single beds: The starting point of the collection. Choose between 90x200 cm, 120x200 cm and 140x200 cm, or the Flippable Kids Bed. Browse them all in Single Kids Beds.
- Cabin beds: Lower, cosy and made for play. The Cabin Bed incl. Drawers and Storage keeps the room tidy too. See the full range of cabin beds.
- House beds and canopy beds: For children who dream in stories. Take a look at the 4-in-1 House Bed, the Canopy Bed or the full 4-in-1 Kids Beds collection.
- Mid sleeper and high sleeper beds: More space to play and store things underneath. Explore mid sleeper beds and high sleeper beds.
- Bunk beds: For siblings, sleepovers and guests. See all bunk beds.
Why Original suits those who want to buy once
Many children's furniture pieces are replaced after just a few years. We would like to do the opposite. A bed that can be rebuilt does not need to end up as waste when the child outgrows its first version. It can be extended with bed drawers, canopies and roofs or ladders and slides, and given new life as the child grows.
It is not only more sustainable. It is simply common sense.
How to choose
- Is your child moving from a cot to a "real" bed? Start with a single bed.
- Is storage missing in the room? A cabin bed with drawers solves it.
- Does your child dream of a little world of their own? Look at the house and canopy beds.
- Need a good night's sleep to go with it? Find the right mattress for the bed.

A bed built for many stages
LIFETIME Original is the bed that does not go out of style, because it is not made for one age but for many. Explore the full Original collection and find the one that fits your child's room.
