Read on to discover more about Cuckooland’s ultimate best kid’s beds;
Best single kids beds
Single beds are ideal for children of all ages and will see your child through each childhood stage, into their teenage years. They are compact enough to fit into smaller bedrooms yet won’t look out of place in larger rooms. Single beds can double up as a day bed, offering up a place to relax during the day and if you have siblings sharing a room, a pair of single beds are perfect for creating their own individual spaces.
The single beds that have earned a place in Cuckooland’s best beds offer up unique features that set them apart from a regular single bed. For example, the Denver 2 in 1 Desk & Day Bed is a single bed that converts into a full size desk, a space saving design that eliminates the need for multiple pieces of furniture, clever hey!
Or take a look at the Lifetime Space Dream Kids Bed, made from sustainable pine wood, this child’s single bed can be finished in a choice of 3 gorgeous colours and can even have a personalised name plate attached. An ideal starter bed with its high side panel, this single bed can then convert into a day bed when your little one is not so little anymore!
Best double kids beds
Double beds offer up more sleeping room, however they do take up more floor space, making them better suited to larger bedrooms. Small doubles are a happy medium between a single and a double bed and can be a great option for older children, fidgety sleepers or kids who have an entire army of soft toys who they insist share their bed. Ultimately the size of bed you and your child decide upon will be dependent on space and personal preference.
For a statement double bed, the Lifetime Kids Beach House Double Bed has been hailed a showstopper! Available in either a small double or double size, you can add useful under bed storage drawers or a trundle bed, perfect for sleepovers! Pop up some fairy lights to create a magical bedtime destination.

Best bunk beds
Bunk beds are a super space-saving solution for smaller bedrooms, often the preferred choice for siblings sharing a room or kids who frequently have friends over for the night. Not limited to room sharers, some kids opt for bunk beds to create a double storey sleep and chill zone, with one area reserved for a reading nook or play den, keeping the other area for sleeping. The versatility of bunk beds make them a popular bed for kids of all ages, however don’t just settle for a typical one up one down, if you’re going vertical, shoot for the stars!

Best cabin beds
Cabin beds are a storage savvy bed, combing elements such as drawers, cupboards, wardrobes and pull out desks into one smart piece of bedroom furniture. They make a brilliant choice for smaller bedrooms thanks to their space saving design and are often more cost efficient than buying individual items of furniture.
Most designs offer a fixed combination, however the cabin beds highlighted here give you the flexibility to choose individual elements, so you can create a bespoke configuration depending on your child’s needs.

There are many optional extras available, including co-ordinating bedroom furniture, that make this a really adaptable cabin bed.
Best loft beds
Loft beds are a great bed for older children, due to their height they are unsuitable for children under 6 years old. These high sleeper beds create a void of under bed space that can be kitted out in an assortment of ways from a cosy den to a study area.
The Oliver Furniture Wood Children’s High Loft Bed has an appealing curved design with a distinct Scandi style.

Perched high above ground level, the Lifetime Hideout Mid Sleeper with Steps is so much more than a bed!
