Children's loft bed: which one to choose?

Find the ideal loft bed for your child

Children and teenagers love loft beds. Parents do too! And for good reason, it's a sleeping arrangement that adapts to all ages and needs. You can arrange the lower space as you wish, and children love to transform it into a real cocoon. But which type of children's loft bed should you choose? We answer all your questions.

Choose the bed based on the room configuration

To choose a loft bed correctly, ask yourself the following questions. What is the configuration of my child's room? What is the ceiling height? Do I need to optimise space in the room?

All these points of reflection are important to avoid making a mistake in your choice. Indeed, a mid-height bed allows you to optimise space in a child's room. But you'll optimise even more with a single loft bed, for example.

Also ask yourself what the bed will be used for. Is it meant for one child to sleep in? Do you want to use it when they have friends over? Loft bed or bunk bed? What will the lower part be used for? As a storage area, a den, a desk? Think ahead to choose the model that best suits your needs.

Moreover, when choosing a loft bed for a child, you'll also need to choose the bedding to go with it. Invest in a mattress with a maximum thickness of 16cm to leave enough space between the bed base and the ceiling and comply with French standards.

The bed model based on your child's size

The choice of a loft bed should be made according to your little one's age. Indeed, to ensure their safety, they must be able to climb up and down from their bed by themselves using the ladder. This is a difficult exercise when you're small and not yet fully autonomous. Even though our beds are secured, there is still a risk of falling if your child is too young to sleep at height.

If your child knows how to properly climb up and down a ladder but is still young, we advise you to opt for a loft bed with a raised bed rail. It will prevent your child from falling during the night in case of a bad dream or agitation. Also choose a slightly inclined ladder for easier descent/ascent. One last important point: the non-slip ladder. It can prevent accidents if your child doesn't fully control their movements.

Even if there is no minimum age for having your child sleep in a high bed, choose models from a reliable brand that will ensure their safety. At Nateo Concept, we recommend that parents do not have children under 6 years old sleep in high beds.

Choose a healthy and eco-responsible children's bed

Discover the different models of loft beds for children

Now that you know the criteria for choosing a children's loft bed well, here are some models to inspire you.

The 90x190cm or 90x200cm loft bed

The 90x190cm loft bed or 90x200cm is a real space-saver in your child's room. If the space is small and there's not enough room to play, you can arrange the lower part as a play area for your little one. They will easily be able to stand upright without being bothered. It's also suitable for older children and teenagers, who can sleep comfortably in a large bed. Be sure to check that you have sufficient ceiling height. Measure the highest wall in your child's room, while keeping a minimum height of 60 cm between the bed and the ceiling. Above all, your child or teenager should be comfortable and able to sit in their bed without hitting their head.

The loft bed with desk and storage

What could be more practical than a bed that combines 3 pieces of furniture in 1? Furniture where you can sleep, work, tidy up, store... Your child will love it! This bed is composed of storage units, such as a wardrobe, a chest of drawers or shelves, to put clothes or books. And a spacious desk for working, drawing, or playing.
