What Should You Look For in Children's Bed?

When it comes to buying a new bed for your child, you will find an extensive range of childrens beds and will probably get confused which one to buy. Truth to be told, buying the right bed for your child is not easy, it requires a lot of considerations. First, you must consider the age of your child, because there are many bed types that are not recommended for children aged under 6 years, such as the highsleepers. Midsleepers are recommended for 4-years-old children, but all children are different and some may find it uncomfortable or suitable. For 5-years-old children, bunk beds are best choice.



If you are about to make a decision on a childrens bed purchase, first ask yourself a few important questions and try to answer them. Here are some important questions:


  • What size of a bed do I need for my child and what free space do I have in the room?
  • How long will my child use this sleeping bed?
  • Do I need storage space under the bed?
  • What material of a bed do I want to purchase?
  • Would I like to change the bed to a different format or size in the future?


The answers of these questions will definitely give you an idea of what kind of bed do you want to buy. Safety comes first, especially when concerning your children. To check the safety level of a particular childrens bed, take a look at the construction of the bed, check how high are the safety barriers on it and if the bed is solidly constructed. Also, check if the ladder is comfortable to your child. Ladders come in many different shapes and sizes, so you should choose carefully the shape, the angle and the construction of the ladder before you make your final decision.

It is important before you make your purchase to ask for the maximum mattress height. Many of these sorts of children's beds come with a standard mattress height (or depth) and it's really surprising how most competitors are aware of those recommendations. For example, if you are buying a bunk bed, make sure to check if it can be converted to a single bed, if it has a join between. Cheaper bunk beds are held together with a pin on each join, which means if the top bunk is lifted, your child's fingers can get caught.

Last, but not the least – the mattress. Pay a lot of attention on the mattress for your childrens bed. There is nothing like a comfortable mattress. A low quality mattress is like you are letting your child sleep on the floor. To choose the most suitable mattress, consider your child's age. Most mattresses on the market are suggested according to the children's age.
