Introducing the Fun Bed!

When it comes to sleep transitions, “fun” might not be the first thing that comes to mind. 

Parents and little ones might both be hesitant to try out a new sleep set up and anxious to leave the security and familiarity of the crib. But with the right expectations, and the right bed, the transition to independent sleep doesn’t have to be stressful. 

With our new twin-bed-with-a-twist Fun Bed, it might even be a little, well… fun!

Our Fun Bed was inspired by Montessori principles for sleep, which revolve around providing little ones with independence, comfort, and safety at the same time. The Fun Bed uses a standard twin mattress, but it has a much lower profile than a traditional twin and sturdy guard rails to minimize bumps and tumbles as your toddler learns to sleep in a big kid bed. The lower height also makes it easy for little ones to climb in and out on their own, giving them a confidence-boosting new independence. At an age that’s deeply driven by “I can do it myself!” desires, the ability to climb in and out of bed on their own is not only fun - it’s great for their development!

Here are the reasons we love a low-profile twin sized bed for toddlers:

• Independence: Like we’ve explained above, the ability to climb in and out of bed on their own is a huge confidence boost for little ones that helps them feel in control of their bodies and their environment. That confidence can mean better sleep for everyone - don’t be surprised if you wake up on Saturday morning to find your little one independently “reading” the books or playing quietly in bed.

• Flexibility: Low profile beds like the Fun Bed give you the option to transition from a crib or bassinet much earlier, and get your baby or toddler started sleeping on a twin mattress they can use into their teens. There’s more space for sibling snuggles, more room for storage, and less need to reconfigure the layout of the nursery again as your child grows.

• Proximity: We all know there are times when you need to help your little one get to sleep, or simply want to be close to them while they do. The space of a twin bed makes it much easier to stay near your little one comfortably - no more kneeling on the ground next to the crib or leaning over an uncomfortable crib rail to comfort them.

For extra storage, siblings, or sleep-over potential, you can double the functionality of the Fun Bed by adding the Fun Bed Trundle Box. The Trundle Box tucks neatly underneath the Fun Bed and slides in and out easily to hide away extra toys, clothes, diapers, or whatever else your family needs to store. Add a low profile twin mattress for twice the sleeping space for siblings or when you need to sleep near your little one! 

At its core, the design of the Fun Bed is all about options. The option to transition your baby to a twin bed earlier, thanks to the low profile and guard rails usually only found on toddler beds. The option to add extra storage space with the Trundle Box below. And the option to add a second twin mattress to double your sleeping space and snuggle opportunities.

The Fun Bed comes in three adorable finishes, and we hope it will bring you and your little one sweet dreams, storage solutions, and a whole world of fun memories to cherish.
