Kids' Beds – FAQs
Are children’s beds safe?
Children’s beds are designed to keep little ones safe and must meet strict UK safety standards.
BS 8509 covers two bed types, toddler beds for under fours and junior beds such as low sleepers, for children aged four-plus.
Elevated styles such as bunk beds, mid sleepers and high sleepers comply with BS EN 747, for children of six and over.
A bed’s recommended age should always be used as a guide to ensure safe use.
What bed types are available for children?
Kids' beds come in many styles, from low sleepers with easy access to raised beds that make the most of floor space.
Practical designs include mid sleepers and cabin beds with desks and storage, through to loft beds with built-in wardrobes.
Bunk beds are ideal for siblings where space is limited, while themed designs and gaming beds add fun to a child’s room.
What type of bed is best for a small bedroom?
The best bed for a small room will depend on the number of children, their age and any storage needs.
Bunk beds are great for shared rooms as they sleep more than one child, while some models also include storage.
Taller designs like a high bed are perfect for compact rooms, maximising space with clever design features.
Which kids' beds include storage options?
There are many types of children’s beds with storage options, to suit all ages.
Junior beds and other low bed styles can feature drawers, shelving and toy storage.
Mid sleepers and high beds usually offer the most storage due to their raised sleep level.
What’s the best bed for growing kids?
As children grow, they need a comfortable bed that supports their development and personality.
For younger children, moving from toddler to junior beds introduces low-level designs and playful themed beds.
More elevated styles offer extra space for study, hobbies and storage, creating a more grown-up room for your child.
