Types of Beds for Kids

Perhaps your little one has outgrown her crib and is ready for her first real big girl bed. Maybe you have two children who will be moving into one bedroom together and you need to find beds that fit their needs while maximizing space. No matter your reasons, there are abundant options when shopping for beds for children. Whether you opt for bunk beds, a daybed or any other type, knowing what choices are available to you helps you come to the best decision.

Bunk beds are a popular type of bed for kids, particularly when more than one child needs to sleep in the room. They are economical, durable and stylish. The downside to bunk beds is that they do pose certain safety hazards to children, such as falling from the top bunk or having an extremity become wedged between the bed and guardrails. Consider your children’s ages and personality before settling on bunk beds.

Shaped beds are another popular option for children. Race car beds, which are low to the ground and typically made of molded plastic, are safe and sturdy for small children transitioning from cribs or toddler beds. Other beds with fun designs are those that resemble boats –think pirate ship or sailboat—houses, such as great big dollhouse designs, and castles equipped with towers, ideal for a little princess or prince.

Canopy bed. Many little girls adore the idea of having a canopy bed. When these beds are draped with ethereal fabric in dreamy white or feminine pastel colors, your daughter will feel as though she has been whisked away to the pages of a fairy tale. Another benefit of canopy beds is that they are appropriate for very young girls all the way through teen years, making them a worthwhile investment.

Daybeds are appealing for kids’ rooms because they can act as seating areas during the day and sleeping areas at night. Unlike futons, however, daybeds utilize standard mattresses, which tend to provide much more support and are considerably more comfortable than futons are. Make sure you select a daybed that is not too high for your child to climb in and out of safely.

Trundle beds enable two children to share a room with virtually only one bed taking up space. Unlike bunk beds, however, trundle beds are comprised of a twin bed with another twin bed on the floor beneath it. The lower bed rolls out from under the primary one on casters and then rolls back under the main bed when not in use. The downside to trundle beds is that you will need enough floor space to roll out the second bed when needed.
