Why choose a house bed?
For several years now, the house bed has literally invaded children's rooms, much to the delight of both children and their parents. Practical, playful and aesthetic, it accompanies children's sleep and allows them to benefit from both comfortable and reassuring bedding. So what exactly does a children's house bed look like? Why is it so trendy? What are the different formats that exist and how do you choose a children's house bed? We explain everything!
What is a house bed?
What we call a house bed is a perfectly classic bed topped with a structure, most often made of wood, in the shape of a house. It can simply be the outlines of the latter to give it an open and uncluttered shape, but it can also be a more sophisticated real little house.
Today, many brands offer parents and their children the option of going for a house bed. Indeed, this type of bed makes all the difference in the room, and sometimes even in making the sleep routine a success.
A lovely design
First of all, the children's house bed offers multiple design possibilities. Modern, minimalist, vintage or more traditional, this piece of furniture can take different forms depending on the style you want to give to your child's room. Therefore, there isn't just one house bed, but a multitude of possibilities according to individual preferences. For example, our THEO house bed focuses on a sleek and chic style. You can discover it in white or wood colours. It can be either a girl's house bed or a boy's house bed.
A playful and fun piece of furniture
If children love the house bed so much, it's because of its playful and fun aspect. More than just a space to sleep, it can also be a real playground. Installed in their house bed, children can read and let their imagination run wild with different stories. This space calls for dreams and imagination. It's therefore exactly the type of furniture you want to find in a child's room.
A reassuring space
Children who have trouble sleeping alone in their bed might find the house bed more reassuring than a standard bed. Thus, they will be able to fall asleep much more easily, as they feel as if they're in a cocoon, serene and reassured.
Real decorative potential
Finally, the house bed is also a real decorative asset for a child's room. It adds a fun touch to the space and can be personalised with bunting, fairy lights, etc. The structure of your house bed can therefore allow you to let your creativity run wild to create a fully customised sleeping space for your child.
What are the different house bed formats?
The house bed comes in many different forms so that each household can find the one that suits them.
The standard house bed
The standard house bed is a 90x190 house bed or a 90x200 house bed at a classic height from the floor. It is therefore a single bed to which a house-like structure has been added to make it more playful and fun.
The Montessori house bed
Highly prized, the Montessori house bed facilitates the implementation of the method of the same name. It is a children's bed installed as close to the floor as possible to facilitate getting up and going to bed autonomously. This children's bed can be used from a very young age as the risk of falling is much more limited due to its low height.
The mid-height house bed
Finally, it is also possible to opt for a mid-height house bed. This one is accessible by a small ladder and therefore allows the child to gain height. As a result, it can only be used from the age of 6. The space underneath can be used to place storage elements, or to create a small cosy corner for reading, for example. This treehouse-style bed can be an excellent starting point if you're looking for ideas for decorating a child's room.
The house bed with slide
If you want to make your child happy, you can opt for a house bed with slide, small windows, a real roof or even shutters. Indeed, the house bed can look like a real little house to the delight of the youngest.
How to choose a children's house bed?
The choice of a children's house bed depends on several criteria:
1️⃣ The format: we have mentioned the classic format, Montessori or mid-height, it's up to you to choose the one that suits you best.
2️⃣ Materials: always prioritise solid wood for its sturdiness and durability. Choose PEFC certified wood if possible. For the rest, opt for ecological wood panels, or solvent-free paint and varnish.
3️⃣ The origin: with made in France, you are sure to opt for quality materials and furniture that complies with current regulations. You also prioritise local manufacturing.
4️⃣ The price: a children's house bed can be found at all prices. You can find a good quality model for less than 300 euros and the price can go up to 900 euros for the most sophisticated versions.
Finally, don't forget that your house bed will not be delivered with the mattress. So make sure you choose a quality mattress with an adequate thickness depending on the chosen furniture.
