What Makes a Great Kids Bed?

A great kids bed should be comfortable, safe, and have long-term value. Parents want frames that are strong, sides that are smooth, and finishes that are easy to clean. Kids want something that looks good, feels good, and fits the way they sleep. These needs are met by Boori's supportive slats, strong guardrails where they're needed, and classic finishes that still feel fun in a child's room. Start with our carefully chosen Kids collection to see all of our beds for kids.

Choosing the Right Bed

Selecting the perfect kids bed is paramount to ensure restful nights. At Boori, we present a diverse range of childrens beds, tailored to fit every unique need. Whether you're in search of that first single kids bed as they transition from a cot, a space-saving bunk bed for siblings, or a luxurious kid's double bed for visiting guests, we've got you covered.

Beyond aesthetics, some of our kids beds in Australia are crafted for space-efficiency. Consider our loft or high sleeper beds, designed at bunk bed height yet offering ample space beneath for storage or an intimate study nook.

Finding the Perfect Size for Your Child's Bed

Navigating the world of kids beds can sometimes feel overwhelming with the myriad of sizes available. But, selecting the right size is crucial for your child's comfort and room aesthetics. Here's a guide to help you pinpoint the ideal fit:

Kids Single Bed: Ideal for children transitioning from a cot, the single kids bed offers ample space for them to grow while fitting seamlessly into most room sizes.
King Single Kids Bed: A tad larger than the standard single, the king single provides extra width and length. Perfect for those kids who love to stretch out or parents looking for a bed that'll last through the growing years.
Kids Double Bed: If you have the room for it, a kids double bed can be a luxurious choice, ensuring comfort through teenage years and even serving as a guest bed later on.
Bunk Beds and Loft Beds: Excellent for siblings sharing a room or maximising vertical space. These beds for kids are versatile, offering sleeping space above and storage or play areas below.

Kids Bunk Beds: Double the Fun, Save Space

Kids bunk beds are a stellar solution for childrens bed needs, particularly when room space is at a premium. These beds effortlessly combine two kids beds in a stacked design, delivering enhanced sleeping quarters without sacrificing aesthetics. Plus, some of our kids bunk beds in Australia come with integrated storage stairs, guaranteeing a tidy and well-ordered room for your little ones.

Loft Beds: Elevated Sleeping, Practical Storage

Loft beds present a prime space-optimisation solution for childrens bedrooms. By lifting the sleeping zone, they unlock precious floor area below, suitable for desks, storage, or playful nooks. Our assortment of kids beds in Australia features loft beds equipped with integrated storage and study spaces, perfect for compact rooms or versatile living areas.

Trundle Beds: Perfect for Sleepovers

Ideal for families that frequently host sleepovers, trundle beds enrich your childrens bed assortment. With a seamless pull-out bed beneath the primary kids bed, they effortlessly cater to your child's visiting friends, ensuring a cosy, restful spot.

Styles To Suit Every Room

Every bedroom is different, so it's helpful to know the main types of beds before you go shopping.

Classic Frames: These have simple shapes that go with any style and make it easy to change the fabric used.
Loft Designs: Sleep higher and use the floor room below for a desk or play area. Check out our useful Loft Beds for small rooms.
Bunks: Great for siblings or people who have a lot of sleepovers. Check out our safe and roomy Kids Bunk Beds.
Trundles: Our trundle is enclosed so can be used for storage or an extra sleeping space.
Themed Frames: A kids house bed adds fantasy while keeping the impact small.

No matter what you decide, keep the finishes simple and add your own style with linens and decorations. That way, as your child grows, the room can change too.

Sizing Made Simple

The right size depends on the age, height, and the size of the room. For the first few years of school, a kids single bed is an excellent choice. A single bed for kids can be a good step up if you want them to have more room to grow. It won't take up too much space either. When a family has a bigger room, they often love how a kids double bed or even a kids queen bed lets them stretch out. A kids king single bed adds extra length without the bulk of a double—ideal for growing, taller children and narrower rooms. Measure openings and hall turns when looking at kids bed options to ensure that shipping and setup go smoothly.

Storage That Works Every Day

Rooms feel calmer when one piece handles two jobs, like a bed plus built-in storage. When you buy a kids bed with storage, you can use the extra space on the floor to store toys, clothes, or sheets. Pick drawers that are deep and glide smoothly so that little hands can open them easily. A loft frame with a closet or bookcase below might work in a small room. Because it's stack-smart, everything fits in one space, giving you more room to play.

Safe, Tough, And Easy to Live With

In family houses, durability is important. Look for frames made of solid wood or metal that have strong screws and bolts. The rounded corners keep little foreheads and shins safe. Guardrails make sleeping safer for kids who move around a lot, especially on bunk beds and stairs. It should be easy to clean up surfaces after kids do art projects or eat a snack before bed. All of that is built into every Boori kids bed so that parents can relax while their kids sleep well.

Sleep Health Starts with The Base

Kids sleep better on a solid foundation and a breathable mattress. The slatted bases let air move, which helps keep the temperature even at night. Choose a mattress that is right for your child's age and the way they sleep. Designed medium-firm for proper support as kids grow. Finish with layers and cotton sheets that you can add or take away depending on the season.

Space Planning and Layout Tips

It's the little things that matter.

Leave at least 60 cm of space around the bed so that you can move around easily.
Put bunk beds away from windows and ceiling fans.
Put a table or pocket on the wall next to the bed to hold books and a nightlight.
Put furniture low and open so kids can clean up on their own.
Plan a study or play area below if you choose a loft to get the most out of your money.

For homes where play spills into shared areas, our versatile Kids Playroom pieces keep games and craft supplies organised.

Transitioning From Cot to Big-Kid Bed

Making the switch feels easier when you have a steady routine. Put your favorite toys close by and start taking naps on the new frame. If you need to, add a bed rail. Pick a bed height that lets you climb up on your own. This boosts trust and keeps parents from having to wake up as often. A blanket or cover that you know can help you feel safe and calm during the first week.

Designing For Imagination

Bedrooms are more than sleep spaces. They are stages for stories, forts, and quiet reading. A kids house bed gives kids a playful focal point without tons of extra décor. Drape a string of soft lights for evening wind-down, keep the palette simple, and rotate themed cushions through the year so the room feels fresh.

Solutions For Shared Rooms

It's best for shared rooms to have clear areas and storage that goes up and down. Bunk beds save room on the floor and give each child their own place. Pick models with strong stairs and guardrails that go all the way around. Choose Boori bunk beds with staircases that include in-built storage for essentials. If your kids go to sleep at different times, a curtain on the bottom bunk can help one of them sleep while the other reads.

Growing With Your Child

A well-chosen kids bed can serve for years. Opt for timeless lines and neutral colours, then update the look with new linen as tastes change. Many Boori frames pair with matching desks, wardrobes, and bookshelves so you can build the room in stages. Start with the bed and one storage piece, then add a study corner when homework starts.

For Australian Homes and Lifestyles

Families shopping kids beds Australia often need flexible options for apartments, townhouses, and larger family homes. Low profiles suit rooms with lower ceilings. Loft and bunk formats are perfect for compact floor plans. In spacious homes, a kids double bed or kids queen bed gives taller kids room to stretch and doubles as a comfortable guest bed when cousins visit.

Easy Care and Everyday Maintenance

Every few months, especially on bunks and stairs, check the screws on the hardware to make sure they are tight. For marks, use a soft cloth and a light cleaner. Stay away from strong chemicals that can wear down protected finishes. To get even wear, rotate your mattress over often. Your kids bed will look good and work well for years of sleepovers, stories, and growth spurts if you take care of it the right way.

Kids Bed FAQs

Which size is best for fast-growing kids?

Upgrade from a kids single bed to a more spacious choice if you have the room. For long-term comfort, many families opt for a generously long single bed for kids who grow quickly, as the length for this is 203cm (longer than the ~190cm for the double or single) or switch to a kids double bed. Parents also feel more at ease during story time and weekend reading when the frames are bigger.

What if I need flexible sleeping for guests?

Put a trundle bed under your kids bed or look into bunk beds for rooms that are shared. A trundle makes it easy to add extra beds for sleepovers and take away easily in the morning.

What's the difference between a loft bed and a bunk bed?

Both loft and bunk beds are great space savers, but they serve distinct purposes. A bunk bed features two or more beds stacked vertically, typically used for siblings or guests. In contrast, a loft bed elevates a bed, freeing space below for desks, storage, or play areas.

Essentially, bunk beds prioritise sleep capacity, while loft beds provide versatile under-bed space.

How Do I Find an Age-Appropriate Bed for My Child?

Selecting an age-appropriate bed is essential for your child's safety and comfort.

When transitioning from a cot, a single kids bed can offer a snug and manageable space. As they grow, you might consider upgrading to a king single kids bed for added room. For older children or teens, a kids double bed provides more comfort. Bunk beds or loft beds are also options, but ensure they come with safety features like guardrails.

Always consult bed specifications and consider your child's needs and bedroom size when making a selection.

How long will my child's bed last?

The longevity of a kids bed largely depends on its quality, usage, and care. Boori's childrens beds are crafted with durability in mind, ensuring they can withstand the lively energy of children.

With regular maintenance and care, many of our kids' beds in Australia can last through their childhood and even serve subsequent siblings.

Investing in a high-quality bed for kids, like those from Boori, means banking on longevity and timeless design that grows with your child.
