Children's single beds

At some point, your little dreamer is going to need to upgrade from their baby cot bed to a kid’s single bed. And while it might seem like that moment comes way too soon, a children’s single bed from IKEA will give your child room to comfortably grow for years after. Enough so that, hopefully, the next bed upgrade won’t come as quite a shock.

There are no hard rules about when you should move your child from a cot to a kid’s single bed. However, a good guideline is to give your child their own bed just before they can almost climb out of the cot by themselves. This way, there’s less risk that they hurt themselves trying to get out of bed at night.

Kids single bed with storage

The only thing that might grow faster than your kids are their piles of stuff. As soon as you turn your back, it seems like the toys, clothes and books strewn about the floor multiplies. Which, come to think of it, would explain how children’s rooms get so messy, so, so quickly. The best way to fight back against the piles is to add clever, space efficient storage to the room. Preferably storage that keep things organised while still leaving a lot of room for fun and games.

A kid’s single bed with storage underneath turns shoving stuff under the bed into a good thing. You get a lot of toys out of the way, you keep the room tidy and you protect their things from dust and dirt. And all this without taking up more floor space than a regular bed.

What about a sleepover?

Once your kids have moved from a cot to a children’s single bed, it’s just a matter of time before they start asking about having friends over to spend the night. Luckily, we have kid’s single beds with built in underbeds that are perfect for a sleepover.

These models are also good for parents of children that are uneasy sleepers. This way, you have a comfy place to lay down while helping your child get to sleep. Look through our range for a kid’s bed with an underbed to find the right one for you and your child.
