From that first move out of a cot to a bed with plenty of room to grow, choosing the right children's bed is a big part of creating a bedroom that works for your child. At The Baby Den, you'll find carefully selected children's beds in a range of sizes, styles and materials, including cosy soft foam floor beds, natural wooden beds, playful house beds and practical bunk and loft designs.
Whether you're looking for a low toddler bed, a larger junior bed or a full-length single, we're here to help you find something that suits your child's needs, your space and everyday family life.
Children don't all outgrow their beds at the same age. Some are ready for more independence early on, while others are perfectly happy in their cot bed for longer. The best starting point is your child's height, mobility and sleeping habits, alongside the space available in their bedroom.
Moving into a first bed is an exciting milestone, although it can take a little getting used to. Toddler beds are smaller than standard singles and often sit closer to the floor, making them a practical choice for children beginning to get in and out of bed independently.
Our MONIO soft foam toddler beds have a 70 × 140 cm sleeping area, with soft foam sides and removable washable covers. They're designed to offer a comfortable, accessible alternative to a traditional wooden frame.
When a toddler bed starts to feel cramped, a junior bed can offer that extra bit of space without moving straight to a full-length single.
Our 80 × 160 cm MONIO junior beds provide more sleeping room while keeping the same low, soft foam design. They're a useful option for children who have outgrown their first bed but still enjoy a cosy, accessible sleeping space.
As children get taller, bed length becomes increasingly important. Our larger MONIO beds include a 90 × 180 cm short single and a 90 × 200 cm European single, offering more space to stretch out.
It's worth checking mattress dimensions carefully: a standard UK single is usually 90 × 190 cm, so European single and short single beds require their corresponding mattress sizes.
Montessori-inspired floor beds sit low to the ground, allowing children to get in and out more independently. They're popular for toddler bedrooms, but low-level beds can also work beautifully for older children who prefer a simple, accessible sleeping space.
Choose from soft foam and wooden designs, including house-shaped floor beds. Remember that a floor bed makes the sleeping area more accessible, so the rest of the bedroom needs to be suitable for a child who can get up independently.
Our MONIO soft foam beds offer something a little different from traditional bed frames. Their surrounding structure, including the sides and headboard, is made from flexible polyurethane foam rather than rigid wood or metal.
Available in beautifully textured Bouclé and Corduroy upholstery, these beds combine a cosy appearance with practical details such as removable, machine-washable covers. Corduroy designs also feature a stain-resistant fabric finish.
Choose from different sleeping sizes, colours and mattress options to find the right combination for your child.
There's a reason wooden beds remain a favourite. They're versatile, timeless and work with almost any bedroom style, from colourful children's spaces to calmer, more neutral interiors.
Our growing selection of wooden children's beds includes designs from Benlemi, with options for different ages, room layouts and preferences. Whether you're looking for a simple floor bed or something more distinctive, natural wood is a lovely choice for a bedroom that can evolve as your child grows.
A house bed brings a playful architectural shape to a child's bedroom. Some sit directly at floor level, making them Montessori-inspired floor beds too, while others use a more traditional raised frame.
They can be a lovely choice for children who enjoy having a bedroom that feels like their own little space, without needing lots of extra furniture or decoration.
For shared bedrooms or rooms where floor space is limited, bunk beds and loft beds can be especially practical.
Bunk beds provide two sleeping levels, while loft beds raise the sleeping area to leave useful space underneath, depending on the design.
Before choosing a raised bed, check the manufacturer's age and weight guidance, ceiling clearance, guardrails and ladder access. The upper sleeping level of a bunk bed is not suitable for children under six.
A bed might look perfect in a photograph, but there are a few practical things worth checking before ordering.
At The Baby Den, we're a small, family-run business, and we believe children's furniture should be both beautiful and practical. A bed needs to work for ordinary days as well as look lovely in a bedroom photograph.
That's why we're building our collection around carefully selected European brands, including MONIO and Benlemi, with a choice of sizes, materials and designs for different stages of childhood.
Whether you're planning a first toddler bedroom or replacing a bed that's finally become too small, explore the collection to find a design that fits your child and your home.
There's no single right age. Many children make the move between around 18 months and three years, particularly when they begin climbing out of their cot or have become too big to sleep comfortably. Your child's development and the safety of their bedroom are more important than following a particular timetable.
Both can work. A toddler bed takes up less space and can feel more manageable for younger children. A single bed offers more growing room and may avoid another bed purchase in a few years. Consider your child's needs, your available floor space and whether the bed's height is suitable.
Montessori-inspired beds are generally designed to encourage independence, often by keeping the sleeping area low and accessible. Not every bed described as Montessori has exactly the same construction, so check the actual height, design and suitability rather than relying on the name alone.
A soft foam bed has a flexible upholstered structure, while a wooden bed uses a rigid frame. Foam beds offer soft surrounding surfaces and washable upholstery on selected models; wooden beds offer a more traditional structure and a wide choice of styles. Neither is automatically the better option – it depends on your child's needs and your preferences.
It depends on the product. Some MONIO beds are available with a matching mattress or as a bed-only option. Always check the product options and what's included before ordering.
Yes. House bed describes the shape of the frame, while floor bed describes its low-level sleeping position. Some designs fit both categories.
The upper bunk is not recommended for children under six. Always follow the specific manufacturer's minimum age, weight and safety instructions, and check that the bed is suitable for your child's mobility and the room layout.
