Best Toddler Beds of 2023

The time has come for your child to transition from a cot to a ‘big bed’. Searching for the best toddler bed is no easy task, but choosing wisely could see your child's bed last them up until starting school, so selecting the right bed will make your life easier in the long run.

Sleep is essential for your child’s growth and development, so we’ve come up with a selection of the best toddler beds for 2023, so you can help your toddler sleep soundly.

Toddler beds

A toddler bed usually measures around 140cm in length and 70cm wide and is lower to the ground compared to a standard single size bed. Because these types of beds are designed to be smaller, they take up less space meaning they are a great option for smaller rooms. This style of bed is a great starter bed for your toddler to aid the transition from a cot to a ‘bigger bed’ for your toddler.

One of our most popular toddler beds is our Lark Toddler Bed which features a low base for your toddler to easily climb in and out of bed. This toddler bed also includes safety rails to ensure your toddler sleeps safely at night time. With this specific bed, you can also purchase an underbed drawer which can be used for storage.

Single bed

Single beds are also suitable for older toddlers, depending on how comfortable they feel in a larger bed. Some single beds such as starter beds are single beds with safety rails that prevent your toddler from falling out of bed in the middle of the night. Once your toddler gets older, these safety rails can be removed so you’re left with just a single bed.

A single bed we’d recommend for your toddler is our versatile Bloc Starter Bed. This bed comes with safety rails to give you peace of mind, but these can also be removed so as your toddler grows, this bed turns into a functional single bed.

Cot beds

Cot beds are also a suitable bed choice for your toddler as they can be used from birth to the age of four. With the adjustable heights and removable rails, this type of bed should definitely be considered as a potential option for your toddler. Smaller than single beds, cot beds are ideal for smaller rooms and spaces.

Our premium Stamford Classic Sleigh Cot Bed is a sophisticated addition to your toddlers room, this bed is also suitable for newborns up until early childhood, as your toddler grows, the cot transforms into a toddler bed. Parents love that the height of this bed can be adjusted to suit their child’s needs and it also comes with an underbed storage drawer.

Themed beds

Themed style beds are a fun addition to your toddlers room, they create an exciting environment and encourage imaginative play. We have a selection of unique styled themed beds such as our teepee, tent, house and playhouse style beds which offer a fun but safe and secure bed for your toddler.

At Room to Grow we love creating happy spaces for your children, that’s why our Maison House Bed is a fun and stylish option for your toddler’s room. With this style of bed you can encourage imaginative play whilst also ensuring your toddler is safe at night when they sleep. The bed’s low frame minimises the risk of your toddler falling out of bed and hurting themselves.

Storage beds

Storage beds are a fantastic style bed for toddlers. Toddlers often come hand-in-hand with a lot of toys, clothes and extra belongings. With the addition of underbed drawers, you can keep your child’s bedroom tidy and free of clutter. This style of bed is also perfect for smaller bedrooms as the integrated drawer storage decreases the need for other storage furniture in your child's space. Storage beds are a practical choice for any toddlers room, the fact they are multi-functional make them a popular choice for parents.

One of our most popular storage beds is the Stompa CK Starter Bed with Extending Mattress. This particular bed is suitable for aged 12 months+ and features high sides to prevent your toddler from falling out of bed. The underbed storage features a storage drawer and extra space underneath the bed which you can choose to store your toddlers toys, books, clothes or bedding, it is also a perfect option for smaller bedrooms, as the storage minimises the need for extra storage furniture.
