Things to consider before buying kid’s beds

There are several key factors to consider to ensure both safety and child-friendly features are prioritized. 

  • Safety should always be paramount when selecting a kid's bed. Firstly, it's crucial to assess the bed's construction and materials. Look for sturdy frames made from durable materials such as solid wood or metal, ensuring the children's beds can withstand the energetic play of little ones while maintaining stability.
  • Be mindful of any sharp edges or protruding parts that could pose a risk to curious explorers. Look for features like guardrails for elevated beds to prevent accidental falls, as well as secure ladder or staircase options for bunk beds. Additionally, consider the mattress support system to ensure proper spinal alignment and support for your child's growing body.
  • Incorporating child-friendly features into the children's bed design can enhance both safety and functionality. Consider beds with built-in storage solutions, such as drawers or shelves, to keep toys, books, and bedding neatly organized and easily accessible. Some beds even offer fun extras like built-in play spaces or tent canopies, adding an extra element of excitement to bedtime routines.
  • Finally, don't forget to read reviews and testimonials from other parents to gauge the overall quality and satisfaction of the bed you're considering.

Types of children’s beds available at IKEA

When it comes to choosing the perfect bed for your child's bedroom, there's a wide array of options to consider, each offering unique features and benefits tailored to different needs and preferences.

  • Loft Beds: Loft beds are elevated beds that provide ample space underneath for various purposes, such as a study area, play space, or additional storage. These beds are ideal for maximizing floor space in smaller bedrooms, creating a versatile and functional sleeping solution.
  • Bunk Beds: Children’s bunk beds are a classic choice for siblings sharing a room or for hosting sleepovers. Featuring two or more beds stacked vertically, bunk beds efficiently utilize vertical space while providing separate sleeping areas for each child. Many children’s bunk beds also come with built-in safety features like guardrails and sturdy ladders.
  • Extendable Beds: Extendable beds are designed to grow with your child, featuring adjustable lengths that can be expanded as your child grows taller. These versatile beds offer a cost-effective solution for accommodating your child's changing needs over time, making them a practical choice for families looking to invest in long-term furniture.
  • Cots: Baby Cots, also known as toddler beds or junior beds, are low-profile beds specifically designed for young children transitioning from a crib to a regular bed. With their low height and safety rails, cots provide a secure and comfortable sleeping environment for toddlers while helping them gain independence.

By carefully considering factors such as space constraints, safety features, and long-term usability, you can choose the perfect bed that will provide comfort, functionality, and joy for your child for years to come.

Recommended beds according to kids size and age 

When choosing the right bed for your child, it's essential to consider their age, size, and developmental stage to ensure both comfort and safety. 

  • For toddlers transitioning from a crib, toddler beds, also known as cots, are a popular choice. These beds are typically designed for children aged 18 months to 4 years old, offering a cozy and secure sleeping space with dimensions tailored to their smaller stature.
  • As children grow older, single beds become a versatile option, accommodating children of all ages from toddlers to teenagers. With standard dimensions of around 75 inches in length and 39 inches in width, single beds provide ample space for comfortable sleep while still fitting well in smaller bedrooms.
  • For older children and adolescents, children’s double beds, or twin beds offer slightly more space while still maintaining a compact footprint. Loft beds and bunk beds are ideal for maximizing space in shared bedrooms or smaller spaces, with safety considerations for children aged 6 years and older who are comfortable sleeping in elevated spaces.
  • Extendable beds provide flexibility and longevity, adapting to your child's changing needs from toddlerhood through adolescence.

Safety guidelines and tips for childrens beds 

Here are some important safety guidelines and tips to consider when selecting and setting up a children's bed:

  1. Choose a Sturdy Bed Frame: Opt for a bed frame made from durable materials such as solid wood or metal to ensure stability and support. Avoid beds with sharp edges or protruding parts that could pose a risk of injury.
  2. Ensure Proper Assembly: Follow IKEA’s instruction manual carefully and ensure that all components are securely fastened. Regularly inspect the bed for loose screws or other potential hazards and tighten as needed.
  3. Install Guardrails: For elevated beds such as bunk beds or loft beds, install sturdy guardrails on all sides to prevent accidental falls. Ensure that the guardrails are securely attached and have no gaps where a child's body could become trapped.
  4. Position the Bed Safely: Place the bed away from windows, curtains, or blinds to prevent entanglement hazards. Ensure that there are no nearby furniture pieces or sharp objects that could pose a risk of injury if a child falls out of bed.
  5. Teach Bed Safety Rules: Educate your child about bed safety rules, such as avoiding jumping on the bed or roughhousing near the edges. Encourage them to use the ladder or staircase safely for bunk beds and to always sleep in the designated sleeping area.
  6. Regular Inspections: Conduct regular inspections of the bed and its components to ensure that they remain in good condition. Check for signs of wear and tear, such as loose fittings or cracked wood, and address any issues promptly.

By following these safety guidelines and tips, you can create a safe and secure sleeping environment for your child, providing them with peace of mind and ensuring a restful night's sleep.
