How to Choose Your First Big Kid Bed

 

They grow up so fast. One minute they’re in your arms, and the next, you’re wanting better sleep, and so are they. It’s now time for them to take that first step toward independence—their first big kid bed.

 

 

But not all kids’ beds are made equal, which is why choosing the right bed is so important.

 

Children go through various growth phases that require different lumbar and spinal support. A bed is more than just a place to sleep. It is an investment in rest, comfort, and ensuring your child wakes up ready to learn and use their imagination each day.

 

Here are some tips on how to shop for the perfect bed for your little one.

 

1.    Your child’s age and stage

 

For toddlers and preschoolers, consider a single-sized bed with room to grow and a firm yet comfortable mattress that not only supports growing spines but encourages deeper, more settled sleep.

2.    Safety first

 

Always look for rounded edges and a sturdy design. Safety is the top priority, and all Teddy Beds are made with high-quality, child-safe materials that support growing minds and bodies.

 

3.    Matching the bed to the bedroom

 

No child is the same, and neither is their bedroom. That’s why it’s important to choose a bed that fits beautifully into their space, both in size and in style. A timeless design means it will grow with your child and your home.

 

4.    Focus on a design that brings joy

 

Their bed isn’t just for sleeping. It’s for quiet moments, daydreams, and the occasional upside-down book reading. Think soft textures, relaxed tones, and a design that fits naturally into your home. Maybe something like this? 

 

5.    Quality materials matter

 

Teddy Beds and mattresses aren’t just built to grow with your child. They’re built to last. Made from quality materials that are safe for kids and strong enough to handle all the twists, turns, and tumbles of childhood.
