Convertible Beds

Newborns often sleep in their mom and dad’s room for the first few months. As soon as it’s time to move to their own room, there must be a suitable bed prepared. You want nothing more than to offer your baby a warm nest. Little ones grow up (quickly), so how nice would it be if the bed did too? A convertible bed offers this possibility for the next 6-9 years! You can easily convert it into a toddler bed, so that your child always sleeps in a suitable bed.

What is an convertible bed?

An convertible bed is also called a convertible crib and is suitable from birth. Your baby will sleep wonderfully in the crib for the first few years. Thanks to the clever 3-in-1 option, the bed is suitable for the different stages of your little one’s life.

  1. Option 1: Your baby sleeps in the crib with bars first. This is the initial stage of every convertible bed. The bed base is adjustable in 3 positions. Start at the highest setting, so you can use it as a crib. This way you don’t have to bend too far and you prevent back problems.
  2. Option 2: Your baby is moving and has discovered rolling over. Just a little while longer and sitting independently will also be under control. Of course you don’t want your little adventurer to go exploring… For safety, lower the bed base upto 2 times more.
  3. Option 3: Around 24-36 months, the crib becomes too small. You’ve probably noticed that your child is ready for a bigger bed. Logically, because your baby is already a toddler! Your little one is clearly ready to get in and out of the bed by itself. Remove one or both sides with bars. A bed bench or toddler bed remains. Depending on the length of your child, it will sleep here until the age of 6-9 years.

The advantages of a cot

Compared to other beds, you may have to spend a little more money in the short term for an convertible bed. On the other hand, this is a good investment, because the bed will last for years. Besides the fact that you always have a suitable bed for your child, the convertible bed has many more advantages.

  1. No restyling of the baby’s room: The growth bed is already in the right place, so you don’t have to change the setting of the furniture.
  2. Sustainable and environmentally conscious: The bed grows with your child, so you can enjoy it for the many years to come
  3. Easy conversion: Adjust the bottom or remove one or both sides of the crib. Until the age of 6-9 years, you can still sleep wonderfully in the toddler bed or bed bench.
  4. No sleepless nights before switching beds: The transition to a larger bed can be very exciting for children. But how exciting is it when you’ve been sleeping in the same bed all this time? Conversion of the convertible bed is therefore experienced as less exciting.
  5. Comfort: It’s very convenient for parents that the convertible bed only has to be purchased once. No quests for a possible new bed with every growth spurt of your child. Dragging new and old beds isn’t on the list either.
  6. Matching furniture: Convertible beds are often part of a complete series. This way you create unity and provide the complete nusery with one style.
  7. Bedtime stories: No sides with bars that stop you from snuggling next to your little one. Reading a bedtime storie becomes even more cozier.

Shapes and sizes

Convertible beds are available in 60×120 cm. and 70×140 cm. The largest is the most common size, but it totally depends on what you prefer. There is a huge choice in colour, material and design. So there will be a suitable convertible bed for each nursery.
