Choosing the right bed for your child is a big deal.

Bed and mattress options are nearly limitless, and it can be a little daunting finding the right bed for your child.

Aspire is here to help with our guide to a perfect bed for your little one(s).

Which is the best bed for your child?

When buying a bed for your child you need to first consider two important questions:

1. What are your child’s needs?

Think of comfort, safety and longevity. If you’re looking for a children’s bed for an active toddler, you’ll need to consider how capable your child is climbing in and out of bed safely. How tall is your child and are they likely to need a bed that adjusts to their never-ending growth spurts? Which type of bed suits your child and dare we ask, which type do they want?

Think long-term as well – do you want to transition from a cot to a toddler bed, or would your child be ready for a small single? Many wonder what age children move into a bed, but the answer is simple: you know your child and you will know which bed works best for your child.

2. What is your child’s bedroom like?

Practicality and style play a key part too. Do you have a lot of floor space to fill or is your child’s bedroom on the smaller side? Do you need extra storage? Is there a need for a bunk bed or a loft bed, enabling more living space?

Bunk beds

An excellent (and often necessary) choice if you have multiple children. They are also a lifesaver for smaller houses. Low-profile mattresses, like the Kids Foam Eco Memory Mattress , work well with bunk beds.

Toddler beds

Aimed for younger children who might feel lost in a single bed. As toddler beds are shorter, they suit smaller rooms. For the safety of very young children, toddler beds often come with sturdy rails to stop your child from rolling off the bed. Toddler beds are often lower-profile and can be extended to suit your child’s growing needs.

Traditional or children’s single beds

Some kids are happy to move straight into a single bed. If your child is comfortable with one and doesn’t need a lower rise one, go for it! Consider including your child in the choice and think about your child’s bedroom interior design. Our Solid Wood White Bed Frame comes as a single and leaves room for under-the-bed storage too!

Storage beds

This is where fun marries functionality! Mid sleepers, cabin beds, Ottomans and storage beds with drawers or shelves – the choice is yours! Families with multiple children or smaller houses with little cupboard space will do themselves a favour in choosing a storage bed. Kids often love these types of beds – what better place to hide their special toys! Have a look at our Storage Ottoman bed which is available as a single and won’t break the budget!

Themed beds

Let their imagination run wild! This is where you can encourage creative play and find a bed to match your child’s personality. Car beds, princess beds, tent beds – there really is a bed for every taste!

There are other ways to personalise your child’s bed too. Your little football stars will go crazy for this Catherine Lansfield Kids Football Headboard!

But children’s beds are only part of the story.

What type of mattress should you choose for your child?

A mattress is vital for a good night’s sleep and we all know how important great quality sleep is for a child’s development (and mood!).

Look for a mattress that supports children’s growing bones, promotes good posture and of course, is comfortable! Remember to bear in mind your child’s individual needs and see which mattress type is best for their bed frame.

Our Kids Foam Eco Memory Mattress has been specifically designed to support children’s growing bones and muscles. As a memory foam mattress, it is hypoallergenic, preventing dust mites and allergens, so it is particularly good if your child suffers from allergies. Memory foam is also known to reduce fidgeting during sleep, making it perfect for little wiggly bodies!
