Moving from a cot to a children’s bed is a special moment.For your child, but for you too. It marks the start of independence – climbing in and out of bed on their own, discovering a new routine, feeling proud.At Petite Amélie, we believe every child grows at their own pace. Some children feel safest in a small, cosy bed. Others are ready for more space early on. Whenever the moment feels right, choosing a bed that suits your child brings comfort, confidence and peaceful nights.
The right bed size depends on your child’s age, height and personality.The space available in the room also plays a role. Below, we’ve listed the most common sizes and when they work best.
A 70x140 cm bed is often the first step after the cot. Suitable from around 18 months up to about 4 years old. The compact size feels safe and comforting, while giving your child a little more freedom.Most Petite Amélie beds in this size have a low sleeping height, so your child can climb in and out independently. Many models also include a safety rail, offering extra reassurance during the night.
This size sits perfectly between a toddler bed and a single bed. Ideal for children who are a bit taller or like to move while sleeping. Depending on your child’s height, this bed can be used comfortably up to around 7 or 8 years.
An extendable children’s bed adapts to every stage of childhood. From toddler to school age. Thanks to its adjustable design, you won’t need to replace the bed as your child grows.The matching extendable mattress can easily be lengthened with additional sections, making it a practical and long-lasting choice.
This is the standard single bed size. Suitable from around 4 or 5 years old, if your child feels comfortable with it. The big advantage is that it can be used well into the teenage years.This size works beautifully with house beds and Montessori-style beds and often allows space for storage drawers or an extra pull-out bed.
A children’s bed should feel safe, comfortable and made from materials you trust.
A low sleeping height is especially reassuring for younger children. A safety rail adds extra peace of mind during the transition from a cot.
Wood, soft shapes and water-based finishes help create a healthy sleeping environment.
A sturdy, well-ventilated slatted base and a bed that suits your child’s height make all the difference.
Soft colours and simple, timeless designs create a peaceful atmosphere in the bedroom, allowing the space to grow along with your child.
A good mattress supports your child’s body while they sleep.Choose a mattress of around 10 cm thick: supportive, yet comfortable.Breathable materials and a removable, washable cover help keep the sleeping environment fresh and hygienic.A children’s bed is more than just a place to sleep.It’s a personal space. A place to rest, dream and gently grow more independent.Whether you choose an extendable bed, a house bed or a Montessori bed, what matters most is that it feels right for your child – today and for the years to come.
Most children move to a children’s bed between 18 months and 3 years old, when they start climbing out of their cot or show signs of wanting more independence
For younger children, a 70x140 cm bed often feels safe and familiar.From around 4 or 5 years old, a larger size such as 80x160 cm or 90x200 cm offers more space to move and grow.
A 70x140 cm bed is ideal for a gentle transition.A 90x200 cm bed is a long-term choice that can be used for many years.
