They grow up so quickly. One minute, you’re tucking them into their cot, the next they’re asking for a room makeover that reflects their budding personalities. When it comes to choosing the perfect kids bed, there’s a lot to consider: size, style, functionality, and future-proofing their sleep space. Luckily, B2C Furniture’s expert team has crafted the ultimate guide to help you find the right kids bed frame for your little dreamer.
What Size Bed Does Your Child Need?
Before you dive into Pinterest boards and furniture showrooms, think practically about your child’s current and future needs. How tall are they? Are they entering a growth spurt? Will they share a room with a sibling down the track?
Young children transitioning from a cot might feel more secure in a kids single bed or toddler bed. Meanwhile, older children might need something more substantial, like a kids double bed or king single bed to accommodate their growing limbs (and occasional starfish sleeping positions!). Choosing the right size now means greater comfort and fewer upgrades later.
What is Your Child’s Bedroom Size?
Your child’s bedroom size will heavily influence your choice. Start by measuring the room’s length and width, making sure to account for door swings, windows, and built-in wardrobes.
In compact spaces, smart choices like a kids bed with storage will give you essential room for books, toys, and extra bedding. Loft beds or slimline kids single beds leave plenty of space for a study desk or play area underneath.
When space is tight, every centimetre counts!
Shared Bedrooms for Siblings
Sharing a room can be a bonding experience for siblings — if the setup is done right! Kids bunk beds are a fantastic option, stacking vertically to save precious floor space. Some designs even incorporate extra storage or a pull-out trundle for ultimate versatility.
If bunk beds aren’t your style, consider a kids double bed for younger siblings who feel safer sharing. Choosing flexible furniture layouts will help foster independence as your children grow.
Bunk Beds For Kids Sizes
Bunk beds come in various configurations, from single-over-single to double-over-single styles. Not only do they maximise space, but they also add a fun, adventurous vibe to bedtime. B2C Furniture’s bunk beds can often be split into two standalone beds, offering a future-proof solution for growing families.
Safety tip: Ensure your child is old enough for the top bunk — generally six years and over — and always opt for sturdy designs with guardrails.
What Size is Right For Your Child’s Bed?
Picking the right kids bed involves more than just aesthetics. Think about their comfort now and in the future. Kids grow fast, and choosing a slightly larger size can save you from repurchasing every few years.
Toddler Bed Size
A toddler bed is ideal for that ‘just-right’ transitional phase between cot and kids single bed. Measuring approximately 150-200cm long and 80-120cm wide, they’re low to the ground and often come with built-in safety rails.
If your little one is newly out of a cot, a toddler bed offers the perfect safe and snug stepping stone.
King Single Size Beds for Kids
A kids king single bed is the sweet spot between a single and a double. At 107cm wide and 203cm long, it’s roomy enough for growing kids and even teenagers. This size offers fantastic longevity — investing in a king single now could save you a future upgrade during those unexpected growth spurts.
Kids Double Size Beds
If you have a mini sprawl-sleeper or simply want to future-proof your furniture, a kids double bed is an excellent choice. Measuring 138cm x 188cm, it offers ample sleeping space and comfort well into the teen years. It also gives your child a mature feel to their room without the need for frequent furniture upgrades.
Kids Bedroom Suite Sizes
Transform your child’s room with a complete kids ! These coordinated packages typically include a kids bed frame, bedside tables, dressers, and even desks. Suites come in various configurations to suit room size and storage needs.
Opting for a full suite ensures a cohesive look and eliminates the hassle of mismatched furniture pieces.
