Buying children's beds: what should parents pay attention to?
Autumn is the perfect time to make the children's room warm and cozy. The days get shorter, the evenings longer – and a comfortable bed plays a central role. Is your child about to move from a cot to a children’s bed? In this article, you’ll find out what to look for and why autumn is an ideal time for this important step.
When is a child ready for a children's bed?
Most children make the switch between 2 and 3 years of age. Common signs that your child is ready include:
- Your child frequently climbs out of the cot.
- The cot has become too small and no longer provides enough space.
- Your child wants to get in and out of bed independently.
- The cot is needed for a younger sibling or must be replaced by a larger bed.
Important criteria when choosing a children's bed
A children’s bed should be safe, comfortable, and practical. When choosing, consider the following factors:
- Safety: solid construction, rounded corners, and a guardrail if needed.
- Comfort: a breathable mattress that provides the right level of support.
- Practical extras: drawers or storage space under the bed for toys and bedding.
- Low height: makes it easy for your child to get in and out independently.
- Size and future: choose a bed that suits your child’s needs and can be used for years to come.
Cozy autumn atmosphere in the children's room
Autumn is all about warmth and comfort. A soft bed with cozy blankets and playful details creates a space where your child feels safe and happy. Some ideas for more coziness:
- Use warm yet breathable blankets for colder nights.
- A soft nightlight creates a sense of security and calm.
- A rug adds warmth to the room and invites playtime.
Inspiration for children's room design
A children’s bed is more than just a place to sleep. It shapes the entire atmosphere of the room. Combine the bed with colorful bedding, smart storage solutions, and personal touches like pillows or stuffed animals. This way, you create a room where your child loves to sleep, play, and dream.
