Junior Beds

Find the right junior beds for your growing child

When your child outgrows their crib, a junior bed provides a natural next step in their development. Junior beds offer a safe and comfortable transition with their standard 150x70 cm dimensions that suit small bodies perfectly. Many models feature child-focused design elements like rounded edges on headboards and footboards, creating a secure sleeping environment that helps establish independence and confidence.

A junior bed supports more than just sleep; it becomes part of your child's growing sense of autonomy. Several models include extension sets that allow the bed to grow longer as your child develops, extending the bed's useful life and remaining a central part of your child's room for years.

Quality construction makes these beds a lasting investment in your child's comfort. Models crafted from FSC™-certified wood offer durability and environmental responsibility, while the rounded safety edges reduce the risk of injury during play. The low-profile design makes it easy for children to get in and out independently, fostering the confidence that comes with having their own special sleeping space.

How to choose junior beds that fit your space

Choosing a junior bed requires careful consideration of room dimensions. Unlike cribs or full-size beds, junior beds are specifically proportioned to fit smaller bedrooms while providing growing children with comfortable sleeping space. The compact footprint makes them suitable for most children's beds rooms, but proper planning ensures good integration with existing furniture.

Simple steps to measure for your new bed

Taking precise measurements makes the selection process straightforward and helps you plan placement of other items like junior duvets. Essential steps to follow:

• Measure the intended space, ensuring at least 60 cm clearance on the access side and 30 cm on other sides for safe movement and easy bed-making.
• Measure doorway width and height - most junior bed frames need minimum 75 cm door width and 85 cm height clearance for assembly and movement.
• Consider the bed's height and ground clearance. Many beds provide 15-20 cm clearance underneath for storage boxes or baskets.

Create a peaceful sleep environment with a junior bed

The design of single beds for children focuses on supportive structures and child-friendly features. Junior beds feature gentle, rounded edges on headboard and footboard, eliminating sharp corners that could cause injury during active play or restless sleep. The frames use FSC-certified wood construction with fine joints and elegantly curved legs, providing a solid foundation and stable sleep area.

Some models include bed guards for additional security, while others offer storage space underneath for toys or bedding. The right pillows and bedding enhance overall comfort. Junior bed frames fit mattresses of 150x70 cm, providing adequate space for growing children while remaining compact enough for smaller bedrooms.

Why should you choose a junior bed for your child

Moving from a crib to a junior bed marks a significant developmental milestone. Unlike transitioning directly to a full-size bed, junior beds offer an age-appropriate middle step that addresses the specific needs of toddlers and young children. The lower height makes it easier for small children to climb in and out safely, while the compact dimensions provide sufficient space without overwhelming a young child.

When is your child ready for a junior bed?

Most children show readiness between two and three years old, particularly when they begin climbing out of their crib or express interest in sleeping in a "big kid bed." The transition becomes smoother when children can walk steadily and understand basic bedtime routines. The lower profile allows children to get in and out independently, building confidence during nighttime bathroom trips. You can find suitable bedding that fits these dimensions perfectly.

Junior beds that make bedtime easier

Junior beds incorporate design elements that directly support healthy sleep habits and bedtime independence. The lower height allows children to climb in and out safely without assistance, while soft, rounded edges eliminate sharp corners. The compact dimensions provide enough space for comfort without creating overwhelming feelings that larger beds can cause for young children. Some models offer ample space underneath for storage, helping to create a calm sleep environment by tidying away toys before bedtime.

Finding sheets and bedding for your junior bed

The standard dimensions make it straightforward to find suitable sheets and other bedding accessories. This standardized sizing ensures compatibility with a wide variety of styles and materials, allowing you to match your child's room decor. When selecting bedding, you can also consider adding bed bumpers for extra coziness and enhanced security during the transition from crib sleeping.
