Single Beds for Children

All our Kid’s Single Beds have one thing in common – quality build and innovative design to promote healthy development for a great price. It's something we take very seriously. We even visit the factories ourselves to guarantee it! And did you know, a well-designed bedroom is just one of the ways to encourage a sound night’s sleep, as you’ll see in our guide for a tantrum-free bedtime.

Like with our double and king-sized beds, we’ve searched high and low for single kids beds from the best designers in Europe, helping us to put together the unique range you see before you. Whether you’re inspired by the novelty of a Treehouse Bed or the elegant simplicity of our Nordic designs, our range has a single bed for every child.

Top 3 FAQ's for Single Childrens Bed

There’s so much to explore in the world of single bed frames that we find our customers appreciate a few little pointers to start them off. We’ve included answers to our most common questions right here and penned the ultimate kids bed buying guide to cover pretty much everything else. And we're super proud of our ever-expanding collection of quality kids beds for all ages! For now, though let's begin with the most commonly asked questions about Children’s Single Beds:

  • What size mattress do I need for a Kids Single Bed?

  • You would select either a UK single bed mattress (190cm long by 90cm wide) or a European single bed mattress (200 cm long by 90 cm wide), each mattress is clearly matched to the correct bed frame on our product detail pages so you never need to worry and wonder which mattress fits which bed. For example, some of our quirkier designs, like our trundle beds, are built for a UK size single mattress (190 cm long) and some of our imported European bespoke beds take a slightly larger European size mattress. Still, if you’re ever in any doubt, give our super friendly bed team a ring, they'd be more than happy to help!

  • At what age can my toddler move into a Single Bed?

  • There are no hard and fast rules for moving your child into an adult-sized single bed type. Some children move from a cot to a toddler bed, then to an adult bed, while others go straight from a cot to a single size bed frame. It really depends on the child. Many parents find that 2 years old is a good time to start thinking about the transition, but our toddler beds and mattresses will be a great fit for most kids until they’re around 3 or 4.

  • Can a Childrens Single Bed help with storage?

  • Absolutely! Loft beds and mid-sleepers aren’t the only option for space-conscious parents. Many of our single beds come with storage drawers or shelving. Our trundle beds even allow you to fit a whole extra single into the room and tuck it away when it’s not needed.
