White designer wooden house bed

What is a white house bed?

What we call a house bed is a classic bed with a frame and base, but with an additional house-shaped structure above the mattress. Once in bed, the child feels like they're sleeping in a little house. While it's available in wood color, it can also be found in white. This refers to both girls' house beds and boys' house beds as it's suitable for all children.

Why choose a white house bed?

If you're having trouble convincing your child to sleep in a 'big kid bed', a white house bed can be an excellent choice. The house bed is indeed much more playful and fun than a traditional bed. This should delight the little ones.

Regarding the color, choosing white furniture means opting for a light color. It's perfect for a child's room, especially if it's small.

From what age can a child sleep in a house bed?

When talking about a white house bed, there are different bed structures for the same style of furniture.

The Montessori house bed

The Montessori house bed is a piece of furniture that has been very successful in children's rooms in recent years. This wooden children's bed is characterized by being positioned very close to the floor. This allows the child to become more autonomous regarding getting up and going to bed, in other words, to more easily apply the Montessori method. Moreover, with this type of house bed, the risk of falling is lower.

Thanks to its proximity to the floor, the Montessori house bed can be used from age 2, as soon as the child has outgrown their cot.

The classic house bed

With the classic house bed, it's possible to opt for a children's bed at standard height. Here, the child sleeps in a bed at the same height as any other children's bed. This type of furniture can also be used after the cot, from age 2.

The mid-height house bed

Finally, there are also 'mid-height' white house beds. The bed structure is higher and the sleeping area is accessible by a small ladder. Once installed, the child feels like they're in a treehouse. However, it should be noted that a raised bed can only be used from age 6 to limit the risk of falling. You can therefore opt for a convertible baby bed, then a mid-height house bed when your child turns 6.

How to choose a white house bed?

To choose your white house bed, you can consider different criteria.

Materials

Solid wood such as pine or beech for example is always an excellent choice. Prefer PEFC certified wood to ensure it comes from sustainably managed forests. Alternatively, you can opt for eco-friendly wood panels with low formaldehyde content. To limit the presence of volatile organic compounds, also prefer furniture with water-based paint or varnish, without solvents.

Origin

If you decide to opt for a made in France white house bed or made in Europe, you are assured that the safety standards imposed by the European Union are well respected. Moreover, you prioritize quality and local manufacturing.

How to furnish a room with a white house bed?

To complete your child's room furniture, you can opt for:

• A chest of drawers: to easily store your child's clothes and belongings.
• A wardrobe: to gain even more storage space in the room.
• A toy chest: to keep the room better organized.
• A small bookshelf: to organize your child's books and make them easier to find.

You can opt for children's furniture, also in white to create harmony, but you can also choose color or wood. White is very easy to match.
