How to Choose the Perfect Kids Bed

Are you on the hunt for a new kids bed? Whether you are replacing an old bed or you are buying your toddler their first big kids bed, the furniture shopping process can be tricky. Fortunately, at Curly’s Furniture, we can help. Our home furnishings store offers an assortment of stylish and durable kids beds that you and your child are sure to love. We have whimsical daybeds, colorful bunk beds, and everything in between. With our wonderful products and our helpful recommendations, we can help you find the perfect kids bed for your child. Read on for our three helpful shopping tips!

When Selecting a Kids Bed, Consider Your Child’s Needs & Habits


When shopping for a kids bed, ask yourself some questions about your child. For instance, is your child a peaceful sleeper or do they toss and turn through the night? Does your child require a small amount of space or do they sleep sprawled out across a large area? If your child requires a large amount of space to sleep soundly, then you may want to opt for a Full size kids bed over a Twin size bed. A Full kids bed is 15 inches wider than a Twin bed, offering extra comfort and wiggle room. If you have two siblings sharing one room, it’s also important to note that bunk beds may be the right choice for some; however, trundle beds may be a better fit for restless sleepers who fall off the bed from time to time. Taking time to consider your child’s sleep style and their daily habits will help you to make more informed shopping decisions.


Search for a Bed That Expresses Your Child’s Interests


Choosing a bed for a child is not quite the same as choosing a bed for an adult. While style and durability are the main concerns for most adults, kids are far more interested in having furniture that is fun, unique, and tailored to their personal interests. At Curly’s Furniture, we are pleased to provide an extensive selection of kids beds with over 100 diverse options to choose from. Does your child dream of being a princess? We sell elegant kids poster beds that will make them feel like royalty. Do you have a child that loves bright, bold colors? We have dozens of panel beds available in virtually every color of the rainbow. Whatever your child’s loves and interests, we can help you find a bed that they’ll be proud to call their own.


Choose a Bed Size That Accommodates Your Child’s Growth


When shopping for a kids bed, it’s important to remember that your child will continue to grow all throughout their childhood. While a child’s growth slows down around their mid to late teen years, it can be difficult to anticipate when and how much your child will grow before that time. When your child is in their preschool and elementary school years, a Twin bed should provide more than enough space. However, when your child beings to approach middle school age, it may be a good time to transition to a Twin XL or a Full size bed. With a bigger size bed, you will be prepared for any growth spurts that may come, which will allow your child to keep the same bed as they progress through their adolescence.
