Junior & extendable beds

You know kids. Growing, growing, grown! In no time they'll be too big for all of their clothes, shoes, and toys. And that also goes for the junior bed you bought last year. We've designed our extendable beds to keep up with each and every growth spurt - so your wallet won't have to.

Kid's beds: The perfect transition from cot to full-sized bed

Transitioning from a cot to a bed is a big step for your little one. Kid's beds offer a cosy, secure, and appropriately sized sleeping solution for children ready to leave their baby bed behind.

What is a kid's bed size?

Children's beds are designed for those who have outgrown their cot but aren’t ready for a full-sized or youth bed. In many countries, these beds are typically 70 cm wide and 140 cm long, making them a perfect in-between size. However, many kid's beds in the IKEA range come with extendable options, allowing the bed to grow with your child, and making it a great long-term choice. This feature is particularly useful as it ensures the bed remains a comfortable fit for several years, adapting to your child’s changing needs.

At what age is a child ready for a kid's bed?

Children are generally ready for a toddler bed or junior bed from the age of 3 and up. This is when they start to outgrow their toddler beds and need more space to stretch out comfortably. Kid's beds are tailored to this developmental stage, offering just the right amount of room while still being a manageable size for little ones.
