Best for… sleepovers

Do your kids regularly have their pals round to stay? With truth or dare sessions (or console gaming sessions…sigh!) lasting until the early hours, sleepovers can be tiring work – for both the kids and parents!

The Explorer Treehouse Cabin Bed is perfect for sleepovers. With it’s handy pull out bed, you’ll have a guest bed that’s ready to go in seconds. And as soon as your guests are ready to leave, it can be tucked away out of sight.

With it’s fun treehouse design, this bed would look the part in a woodland-themed bedroom.
