Children’s Beds

How to choose a kids’ bed frame

When it comes to choosing a kids’ bed frame, there are two key factors that you need to bear in mind – does your child like the frame you’re planning on buying and is it made from high-quality materials?

First and foremost, it’s obviously very important that your child has a say in what sort of kids’ bed frame you buy them. They are, of course, the ones who are going to be sleeping in it. And given that beds for children are also one of the easiest ways for them to express their interests growing up, getting their input is essential.

Secondly, given the hectic and often chaotic nature of childhood, ensuring that the bed you choose for your child is both high-quality and durable means that you’re less likely to need to replace it due to damages (though be prepared for your child to want to change their bed frame out for a more adult one as they grow older).

What are the most common types of kids’ beds

While there are a variety of frame and design options available for standard bed frames, we like to keep things as simple as possible in the MattressnextDay range, which is why we provide three key children’s bed frame styles:

• Beds with storage – including both the traditional style of bed frame and frames with inbuilt storage, these kids’ bed frames are ideal if you need extra space to store toys and clothes.

• Bunk beds – the perfect bedding solution if your kids want to share a room or you’re looking to save on floor space, bunk beds leave more room for play.

• Floor beds – bed frames designed without legs; these floor beds come in a range of stylistic options for your child to choose from.

Alongside this, many of these frames also come in a variety of colours and material options, making it easy for you to find a kids’ bed that suits their room’s new décor!

How much are kids’ beds?

Generally speaking, kids’ beds tend to be cheaper than full-sized bed frames due to their smaller dimensions. However, the more high-quality a child’s bed, the more expensive it will be.
