Are you ready for one of the most essential pieces of furniture your kid will ever have? We’re talking about their bed, of course. This is not only a product for them to express their style, but a kid’s bedroom is where they’ll spend a lot of their time, so it needs to bring the best possible comfort, style and safety possible.
We conduct our best kids’ bed reviews through a combination of product testing, individual research, real buyer feedback and certified paediatrician approval.
We understand that there is no such thing as a “best kids’ bed” for everyone, and what is best for one person might not be suitable for another. With this in mind, we assessed kids’ beds by comparing different features and specifications, and have highlighted the buyer we believe the product is best suited to.
We considered the following criteria below:
