Modern Beds for Kids

Crib Conversion Beds

• Start your modern design early by buying a crib that you can convert into a toddler bed, eliminating the need to buy two separate beds, and saving you time and money. Create the toddler bed by removing the crib panels and replacing them with the side panels.

Toddler Beds

• Modern toddler beds are sized to fit toddler mattresses and are equipped with side rails to prevent a toddler from rolling out of bed. Some toddler beds can be folded into a chair for dual functionality. The guard rails on toddler beds are often removable so that, as the child matures, the child can gradually transition from a toddler bed to a youth bed.

Bunk Beds and Loft Beds

• For siblings ages 5 and up, bunk beds and loft beds are good choices to maximize space. Loft beds are an alternative to bunk beds if parents are concerned about the upper bunk being too high off the floor. You can also buy modular loft beds, which allow you to adjust the bed as the child's needs change. Start with a single bed at a low height. As the child matures raise the bed farther off the ground, allowing for more storage modules under the bed.

Youth Beds

• Modern beds, with their space-efficient and sleek design, can make the transition from toddler bed to youth bed less intimidating for young children. For a child with her own room, a platform bed built low to the ground is a good choice. Kid's modern platform beds often have storage spaces built in underneath. A captain's bed, which is similar to a platform bed but sits higher off the floor, also has a storage area built underneath and usually has side boards to keep the child from rolling out of bed.
