What are the main things to consider when buying a children's bed?
Obviously, when purchasing a new piece of furniture for your home, you'll want to consider things such as sustainability, quality, longevity, practicality and style. However, perhaps even more important is your child's comfort, safety and happiness. It is vital to have the right mattress for their comfort and support to ensure a good night's sleep. A bed can also offer more than just space to sleep, in that it can be a space to study, socialise and encourage imaginative play. The physical bedroom space available and layout also impacts your decision.
What size bed should I get for my child?
The size bed you choose for your child will be based on a couple of factors; their age and size as well as space you have available in the room. Toddler beds and starter beds can be slightly shorter than an average single bed and therefore works well for smaller rooms and younger kids who may feel lost in a single bed. On the other hand, for older children who may require a little extra room, there are small double beds and double beds which allow a little extra room.
