What bed for a 3-year-old?

As a child grows up, their needs and expectations of room design change. However, whatever the age of the toddler, he needs a comfortable bed that allows him to sleep soundly and peacefully. What is the best bed for a 3-year-old's room? At this age, a child is far too old to use the cot that accompanied him/her when he/she was one - it is not only a question of dimensions, but also of barriers that restrict freedom of movement. What models are worth considering when looking for a bed for a 3-year-old?

Which bed size should I choose?

This is one of those questions to which there is no clear answer. It all depends on the nature of the interior being created and how long we are thinking about such a project. When we want to keep the décor in a more childlike style, using smaller sized furniture, it is worth opting for a bed that is ideal for toddlers - models in the dimensions 140 × 70 cm or 160 × 80 cm. However, an equally attractive arrangement can be created using full-size 90 × 200 cm beds. They too will be a good choice of bed for a 3-year-old. They look just as beautiful as the smaller models, offer the same high level of comfort, but are a more durable solution because your child will not outgrow such a bed after a few years of use.

A multifunctional piece of furniture for a growing toddler

A comfortable bed for a 3-year-old can already be taken care of when buying a baby cot - how is this possible? With the help of furniture that can grow with the child. Their design ensures that they can be changed easily according to current needs, so that they maintain their functionality for a considerably longer period of time. Such is our 3S cot from the Minimondo collectionwhich has been designed with the needs of toddlers in mind, not only in the first months but also in the first years of life. It works equally well as a safe cot for a toddler and, with the railings removed, as a comfortable couch for a 3-year-old. Its stylish design, roomy drawers for easy storage of, for example, bedding or toys and dimensions of 140 × 70 cm all make it a great choice for a 3-year-old's room.

Choose furniture with the future in mind

If we want to choose furniture for a child's room that is not just temporary, the best solution is to choose solutions with the child's future needs in mind. At the age of three, a toddler obviously does not need a full-size bed. However, a full-size bed will provide the same level of comfort as a smaller piece of furniture and, moreover, will remain functional and comfortable over time. A full-size bed is just as suitable for a three-year-old as for a child entering adolescence.

Inmondo's range includes single beds in 200 × 90 cm, which will work well in arrangements with very different styles. For example, they are distinguished by their timeless character Collet collection bedas well as more modern Funflex bed whether Minimondowhich are the perfect complement to the Scandinavian style.

Unusual solutions for a unique decor

When browsing through the available offers, it is worth focusing not only on the dimensions of the furniture, but also on its style - apart from fulfilling a very practical task, a child's bed may also become an important decorative element of the room. It is therefore worth considering non-standard solutions, the unique form of which will completely change the character of the room. Here we particularly recommend cottage bedwhich is sure to appeal to every little one and, as well as being a place to sleep, also makes a great base for play.

Raised beds are another interesting category - they are the perfect solution for rooms with a smaller footprint where every centimetre of floor space is at a premium. Their addition introduces another level to the room, which allows for better organisation of the space, as the space under the bed can be filled with cupboards or small bookcases to store toys or books.

How to choose children's beds?

The dimensions of the bed are important for comfort. The style and design of the furniture affect the attractiveness of the arrangement. However, there is another issue to pay attention to - safety. Several things influence whether it will be safe for a toddler to use the bed:

• the care of the finish, i.e. a smooth wood surface with no sharp edges,
• the use of safe materials during production,
• structural stability, which is particularly important in the case of high beds, where well-fitted railings and ladders protect the child from falling.

When choosing a bed for a 3-year-old, it is not worthwhile to save money. It is much better to choose a high-quality piece of furniture that will fulfil its function over a long period of time, continuously providing your child with great sleeping conditions and supporting his or her healthy development.
