Floor Beds for Children
A floor bed sits low to the ground so a child can climb in and out without help. It is one of the simplest ways to bring Montessori principles into a bedroom, and from around six months it is a safer alternative to a cot a child has started climbing out of.
Floor beds and house beds at Tiny Toivo
- Extendable House Bed with LED Lighting — grows from 160 × 80 cm to 200 × 80 cm, with a built-in bookshelf and remote-controlled lighting. Made in Czechia.
- Floor Bed Timon — a low, quiet frame in 160 × 80 and 180 × 80 cm, with or without a safety rail.
What to check before you buy
- Slatted base. Air has to circulate under the mattress. A mattress laid straight on the floor collects moisture — a real problem in Nordic homes.
- No gaps. The mattress should match the frame exactly, with no space a small arm or leg could slip into.
- A firm mattress, 10–15 cm thick. Not soft foam.
- A size that lasts. 80 × 160 cm suits a toddler; 80 × 200 cm carries through to the school years.
- European manufacture, so EU safety and chemical rules apply.
