Use-Cases and Compatibility

Here's how our toddler beds and kids beds suit different ages and rooms.

- For the first move out of the cot

A low, guarded bed like the Boori Natty Bedside Bed helps prevent tumbles. Keep all side rails attached, as the listing advises.

- For a bed that lasts

Single and king single beds such as the Boori Neat Single and Natty King Single last into adulthood. Add a Guard Panel while your child is young.

- For siblings and sleepovers

Bunk and trundle beds, like the Natty Maxi Bunk Bed, Neat Single Bunk Bed and Neat Trundle Bed, fit more sleepers into one room. The top bunk isn't for children under 9.

- For play and storage

Loft beds such as the Boori Natty Single Loft Bed free up floor space underneath, and the Forest Teepee Single Bed adds a playful den feel.

Looking After Your Kids Bed

A little regular care keeps your child's bed safe and sturdy. Always check the care instructions for your specific model.

Check the fittings - Tighten bolts and check guard rails every few weeks, especially on bunk and loft beds.

Wipe it down - Clean the frame with a soft, damp cloth and dry it straight away.

Respect weight limits - Boori beds in our range are tested to carry 100kg static weight per bed. Don't let children jump on the bed.

Keep it clear - Keep beds away from blinds, cords and windows, and keep the area around bunk ladders clear.

Use the right mattress - Use the mattress size and thickness stated in the listing so rails stay high enough above the mattress.

What to Check Before You Buy:

- Your child's age

Toddler beds with guard rails suit younger children. Australian standard AS/NZS 4220:2010 recommends that loft and bunk beds aren't used by children under 9.

- Mattress size

Check whether the bed takes a standard single, king single or a special size, like the Natty Bedside Bed's 159 x 79cm.

- Room size

Measure the room, including space for a ladder or staircase on bunk and loft beds.

- Guard rails

Check whether guard rails are included or sold separately.
