Collection: Kids Beds

A kids bed needs to match the child's age and the room's space, and as a childrens bed, be built safely for a child who'll jump and climb on it. A toddler bed sits low for a child just out of the cot; a single bed for kids suits a school-age child; a bunk bed sleeps two in the floor space of one; a loft bed lifts the bed up to free space underneath. Start with their age and how many sleep in the room.

What kind of kids bed do you need?

Match the bed to the child's age and the room:

• Toddler bed: low to the ground with rails, for a child just out of the cot (around 18 months to 4 years).
• Single bed for kids: a single bed kids can grow into, the standard for a school-age child, often with a rail early on.
• Bunk bed: two beds stacked, sleeping two children in one floor footprint.
• Loft bed: a raised single with space underneath for a desk, storage or play.

What age can a child use a bunk bed?

Australian safety guidance says a child should be at least 9 years old before sleeping on the top bunk, because younger children are at higher risk of falling. The top bunk must have guard rails on all sides with gaps small enough that a child can't slip through or trap their head, and a sturdy ladder. Younger children can safely use the bottom bunk. Never let young children play on the top bunk unsupervised. Check the bunk meets the Australian bunk bed safety standard, with proper rail heights and gaps.

What safety features should a kids bed have?

A kids bed should protect a child who moves in their sleep and plays on the bed. For toddlers and young children, guard rails stop them rolling out. On bunks, rails on all sides of the top bunk and small gaps that can't trap a head or limb are essential. A sturdy, well-anchored frame that won't wobble or collapse under jumping matters, along with rounded edges and non-toxic finishes. For a loft or bunk, a firmly fixed ladder with proper spacing helps. Check the bed meets the relevant Australian safety standard before buying.

Common questions

What age is a toddler bed for?
Around 18 months to 4 years, once a child can climb out of the cot. A toddler bed sits low with side rails; many move to a single bed with a rail by age 4 or 5.

What age can kids use the top bunk?
Australian guidance recommends at least 9 years old for the top bunk, since younger children are more likely to fall. Younger kids can safely use the bottom bunk.

Are bunk beds safe?
Yes, when they meet the Australian bunk bed standard — guard rails on all sides of the top bunk, gaps too small to trap a head, and a sturdy ladder. Supervise young children around them.

What is a loft bed?
A loft bed is a raised single bed with open space underneath for a desk, storage or a play area. It suits older children and small rooms where floor space is tight.
