8 easy ways to make the most of children’s beds for small rooms

Children might be small, but so are their rooms. That’s why we offer lots of beds that are as flexible and smart as the children themselves. Beds with storage, bunk- and loft beds or extendable beds that grow at the same speed as the children! There’s a bed for every room or preference, and sweet dreams for every child and soft friend.

Space saving is something you grow into

Why get a full-size bed for someone a third of that length? On the other hand, why get a small bed for someone who grows very fast? Well, how about an extendable bed that grows at the same speed? When the child has grown out of that, it’s not a child anymore!

Extra comfort at the foot end?

Of course the comfort is all over this extendable children’s bed, but when the frame is extended, so is the mattress. Great comfort is as important to a childs good night’s sleep as it is to a grown-up, so make sure everyone gets to choose their own favourite bedding, pillows and bedside buddies!

Need more storage? Sleep on it!

In a small room, don’t let valuable space under the bed serve as nothing more than a dancefloor for dust rats. With SLÄKT bedframe you maximize the use of every inch under the bed. It has 4 big drawers and 2 shelves that work perfectly as a bedside table too, or a bookshelf for bedtime stories. This bed really is a dream come true for anyone looking for smart storage and space saving solutions.

Multifunction according to children and parents:

In a child’s imagination nothing is what it seems. A bed can be a spaceship, then a garden under the night sky or a tent on an adventurous hike with the soft toys. For parents it works virtually the same way: This is obviously a bed, but it also offers flexible storage underneath and a bed tent for extra cosy sleep.

Sharing is caring - a lot about your own private space!

You express your personality most when you’re awake – not sleeping. So, when sharing a room, make sure to use as little space as possible for the sleeping. That way you can use the rest of the room for stuff that really mirrors who you are. As a bonus, it’s super easy to personalize your part of the bunk bed as well!

One bed – two worlds

It might be just one bunk bed, but with two levels it also has room for two completely different stories. Apart from the favourite bedding and soft toys, the walls are perfect spots to display both personalities and interests. MYDAL bunk bed is an obvious solution for siblings sharing a room, but also great for sleep-over friends, or just the luxury of choosing which hide-away suits your mood best tonight?

Bringing good sleep to a higher level and making room for life below

It’s almost magic how you can bring a full-size bed into a room, without using more than a few square centimeters of the floor area. The only question is what to use all the extra space for? A soft lounge, a study, a private gym or your very own creative studio? VITVAL loft bed creates the space, you bring life to it!

How do otters sleep?

Better than ever, especially when they are safely tucked into bed after a long day of playing. They will probably be fast asleep before you finish the bedtime story. With a little luck, they’ll inspire a certain child to do the same... Sweet dreams, all of you!
