What Size Bed Does Your Child Need?
Before you start window-shopping at your local Homemaker Centre, there are some important prerequisite considerations to determine the right child bed dimensions. What is your child’s height and size? What is their age? Will they be sharing a room with a sibling? If so, how much floor space is there? On top of that, how confident does your child feel about graduating to a grown-up bedroom?
What is Your Child’s Bedroom Size?
The size of your child’s bedroom is an important determining factor when choosing a bed. Measure the room’s dimensions and make a note of them; now you’ll have a better idea of the furniture that will suit your space.
For smaller rooms, we know every inch is precious! Look for innovative, space-saving designs that can help you maximise your kids room. Kids beds with storage (like our Myer Natural Single Bed with Storage) are the perfect solution for reducing clutter, storing extra bedding and freeing up play space. While loft-style beds can create a functional, cubby-house-like space under their bed equipped with an inbuilt desk and shelves, that won’t take up extra floor space, making them great for children of school age.
