Types of Kids Beds Available at Bedz4u
Children's beds come in a variety of styles to suit different ages, room sizes, and sleeping arrangements. From compact toddler beds to practical cabin beds and imaginative novelty designs, choosing the right bed can create a comfortable, functional bedroom.
Children's Single Beds
Children's single beds are a practical choice for growing children and teenagers. A standard UK single bed provides a comfortable sleeping space and can be styled to suit almost any bedroom. Single kids' beds come in a variety of materials, colors, and designs, making it easy to find an option that complements your child's room.
Before ordering, check the overall dimensions and mattress requirements, as the external size of a bed frame may be larger than the mattress it accommodates.
Explore our single beds for more options suitable for children's and adult bedrooms.
Cabin Beds for Children
Cabin beds are designed to make practical use of the space around the sleeping area. Depending on the design, they may include drawers, cupboards, shelves, or a bookshelf, providing useful storage for clothing, toys, books, and bedding.
For example, the Newport Light Oak Cabin Bed with Storage Drawers and Bookshelf combines a single sleeping space with built-in storage and an integrated bookshelf. The Captains Grey Single Cabin Bed by Kidsaw and Captains White Single Cabin Bed by Kidsaw are also designed with storage features.
Storage arrangements vary between models, so check the product description carefully to see exactly what is included.
Kids' Beds with Storage
A children's bed with storage can be a useful option for bedrooms where space is limited. Depending on the model, storage may be provided through drawers, cupboards, shelves, or space beneath the bed.
Built-in storage can provide convenient places to keep toys, books, clothes, and bedding organized. When choosing a storage bed, consider the amount of storage available and whether drawers or cupboards can be opened easily within the room.
Browse our storage beds for additional designs that help make better use of bedroom space.
Toddler Beds
Toddler beds are designed for young children moving on from a cot. They are generally smaller than standard single beds and can help make the transition to independent sleeping more familiar and manageable.
Our range includes themed toddler designs, such as the Gruffalo Kids Toddler Bed Frame by Kidsaw and the Horse and Carriage Kids Themed Toddler Bed by Kidsaw.
Always check the recommended age range, mattress size, and safety information supplied with the individual toddler bed before purchasing.
Mid-Sleeper Beds
Mid-sleeper beds raise the sleeping area above the floor, creating useful space underneath. Depending on the design, this area may be used for storage, play, or other bedroom activities.
Mid-sleeper beds can be a practical choice for children who need additional functionality from their bedroom furniture. The Jinsen Mid Sleeper Single Bed by Kidsaw is an example of a children's mid-sleeper design with space-saving features.
Check the manufacturer's recommended age range, overall dimensions, mattress requirements, and safety instructions before ordering a mid-sleeper bed.
Novelty and Themed Kids' Beds
Novelty beds can add personality and imagination to a child's bedroom. Themed designs are available in a range of styles, including racing car beds and other character-inspired options.
Our collection includes the No. 88 Red Kids Turbo Racing Car Novelty Bed by Artisan, the Blue Speedy Speed Racer Single Kids Car Bed with Storage, and the Girls Single Pink Princess Racing Car Bed Frame by Artisan.
These beds can make a striking feature in a child's room, but it is important to check the external dimensions and mattress requirements to ensure the design is suitable for the available space.
Kids' Guest Beds and Trundle Beds
Guest beds can provide an additional sleeping space for friends, siblings, or overnight visitors. Some children's guest beds include a pull-out trundle, while others may offer built-in drawers for storage.
The Captain's White Sleigh Style Guest Bed with Storage Drawers is an example of a design that combines a guest sleeping area with storage features.
Check whether the trundle mattress is included, the mattress size required, and the clearance needed to pull the guest bed out fully.
How to Choose the Right Kids Bed
Choosing the right children's bed involves considering your child's age, the size of the bedroom, the available storage space, and the type of mattress required. It is also important to review the product's dimensions, recommended age range, assembly requirements, and safety information before placing an order.
Consider Your Child's Age
Different types of children's beds are designed for different age groups. Toddler beds may be suitable for younger children moving on from a cot, while standard single beds can provide a longer-term sleeping solution for growing children.
Mid-sleeper and other raised beds may have specific age recommendations. Always follow the manufacturer's guidance for the individual product rather than relying on a general age range.
Measure the Bedroom Space
Measure the available space carefully before choosing a kids' bed. Consider the bed's length, width, and height, as well as the room needed for drawers, cupboards, ladders, doors, and other features.
For cabin beds and storage beds, make sure there is enough space to open drawers and cupboards fully. For mid-sleeper beds, check the ceiling height and allow sufficient room for safe access and use.
Choose the Correct Mattress Size
Children's beds can require different mattress sizes depending on the design. Many standard kids' beds use a UK single mattress measuring approximately 90 cm x 190 cm, while toddler beds and certain specialist designs may require a different size.
Always check the product listing for the correct mattress dimensions and maximum mattress depth before purchasing a mattress. Some bed frames are supplied without a mattress, so check what is included in the price.
Decide How Much Storage You Need
If your child's bedroom has limited storage, consider a bed with drawers, cupboards, shelves, or under-bed storage. Storage beds can help keep toys, books, clothing, and bedding organized while making better use of the available room.
Compare the storage features of each product and check whether the drawers or cupboards are positioned in a way that suits your bedroom layout.
Check the Recommended Age and Safety Information
Always review the manufacturer's age recommendations and safety guidance before purchasing a children's bed. This is particularly important for toddler beds, mid-sleepers, high-sleepers, bunk beds, and other raised designs.
Read the assembly instructions carefully and ensure the bed is assembled correctly before use. Product-specific safety information should always take priority.
Think About Long-Term Use
Consider whether you want a bed that will suit your child for several years or whether a smaller bed is more appropriate for their current stage. A standard single bed may offer a longer-term solution, while a toddler bed can be useful during the transition from a cot.
Also consider whether the bed includes features that may remain useful as your child grows, such as storage drawers, shelving, or a desk area.
Kids' Bed Sizes and Mattress Requirements
Kids' beds are available in several sizes and configurations, so mattress requirements can vary between products. Standard children's single beds commonly use a UK single mattress, while toddler beds may require a smaller mattress, such as a 70cm x 140cm toddler mattress.
Some cabin beds, mid-sleepers, guest beds, and novelty beds may have specific mattress depth or size requirements. Always check the individual product listing before ordering a mattress.

Space-Saving Kids Beds for Smaller Bedrooms
Making the most of available bedroom space is important, particularly in smaller rooms or shared bedrooms. Cabin beds, storage beds, and mid-sleepers can provide useful space-saving solutions by incorporating storage or additional functionality into the bed design.
When choosing a space-saving kids' bed, consider the total dimensions and make sure there is enough room to access the bed and use any drawers, cupboards, shelves, or other features comfortably.
If you are furnishing a shared bedroom, you may also wish to explore our bunk beds, which make use of vertical space to provide two sleeping areas within a single footprint.
