Our Pick of the Best Toddler Beds Around
Toddlers like to spend their day exploring their world and well … toddling. Then, after a busy day you tuck them in – and hope for a good ‘forty winks’ (or at least twenty!).
Having a comfy toddler bed will help them rest and grow. Plus, you can get ready for the next fun-filled day – reassured that they’ll sleep safe and sound.
Here are our picks of the best toddler beds around. From tipis to bunk beds, there’s something here to suit every personality and room decor.
1. Kids Junior Tipi Bed
Kids Junior Tipi Bed
This is a fun bed that is sure to spark their imagination during storytime – and playtime.
The tipi bed is perfect for those following the Montessori style of parenting. This approach is all about creating an environment ripe for hands-on learning, independence and observation, where your child is free to expand their development via play and exploration. Imagine the action-packed stories they’ll create around it’s exciting design.
Also, at just 8cm above the floor, you’ll breathe easy knowing they won’t injure themselves whilst climbing on and off their amazing new bed during play sessions.
Made from solid pine, with a white lacquer finish on the top and base sections, it’s a super stylish design that they’ll never want to grow out of.
Why not hang string lights across its frame? This creates a magical ambience that’ll encourage even the most stubborn sleeper to ‘drift off’.
2. Lifetime Dino 4 in 1 Combination Bed
Lifetime Dino 4 in 1 Combination Bed
What’s better than a dinosaur-themed bed? The answer has to be this four-in-one combination dino bed by Lifetime – complete with a fabric roof and colourful garland.
Supporting toddlers to their 11th birthday and beyond, it evolves from a bed with a safety guard (ages 2-4), to a more raised bed (ages 5-7), before becoming a ‘grown-up’ high sleeper (ages 8-10) with much-needed storage space underneath. At 11 years, you can convert it to a standard single bed.
This sustainable Scandinavian pine bed – in a choice of three non-toxic paint colours – arrives with everything required to support your little ‘T-rex’s’ development.
Plus, personalisation is a huge trend right now. So why not provide your ‘dinosaur-mad’ toddler with a custom name plate?
The only problem will be getting them out of this ‘roarsome’ bed in the morning.
3. Oliver Furniture Seaside Lille+ Low Bunk Bed

Oh, I do love to be beside the seaside! …
Bijoux box rooms and smaller spaces will happily accommodate this two-in-one sleeping solution from Oliver Furniture. Make use of the nursery’s vertical space – at just 136cm tall.
Yet, there’s also the option to separate the two FSC® birch wood beds – ideal for toddlers with younger siblings.
Its elegant guard railings, non-toxic lacquer and neutral white paint finish, alongside its canopy (sold separately), give this bunk bed configuration a decidedly beachy ‘feel’.
4. Casami Toddler House Bed
Casami Toddler House Bed
This house bed is a perfect purchase for ‘mini-me’s’ who want to sleep in their very own ‘grown-up’ bed.
Yet few parents are as lucky to have a beautiful built-in bench at the base of theirs – an ideal place where toddlers can store teddies and later learn to tie their shoes.
The cut out circular windows are whimsical enough to inspire their playtimes – whilst the calming white shade of solid pine and MDF promise to suit any toddler’s bedroom decor.
Try adding ball string lights and a 70x140cm mattress, before wrapping them up in unbelievably soft bamboo bedding (all sold separately) to ensure the best night’s sleep.
5. SnuzKot Skandi Cot Bed in Mono
SnuzKot Skandi Cot Bed in Mono

Called ‘mono’, this striking contemporary bed is monochrome perfection. It’s dark legs, accents and stainless steel fixings contrast perfectly with the white frame – manufactured from reassuringly strong (and sustainable) solid beech wood.

Moving your little one from their comforting cot to another bed can be a really tricky stage to navigate. Thankfully designs like the Maya Toddler Bed from Obaby make this stepping stone easier on tentative youngsters.
The raised sides act as guard rails, while the notch details make getting in and out of bed independently a much easier task for little legs! They’ll feel cosy and reassured in the safe nest-like bed, but have the freedom to get up and move about during the night, should they need to.
Top tip – switch out their newborn mobiles for textured macrame wall hangings for a toddler-ready space. It won’t feel so different, but gives the nursery a subtle grownup glow up!
8. Vox 4 You 3 in 1 Baby & Toddler Cot Bed in White & Oak
Vox 4 You 3 in 1 Baby & Toddler Cot Bed in White & Oak
This is one clever piece of multipurpose furniture from Vox.
Although it can be used as a cot bed, toddlers can rest up and dream big in its converted form – simply take away the trio of removable bars when they’re ready.
Your toddler will start to achieve new things every day. So, why not reuse the included cot frame (turned upside down) as a strong and sturdy oak and laminate desk. It’ll be ideal for future art projects and school work when they’re older.
The repurposed desk makes a great pairing with the remaining junior bed.
