Collaborative Post¦ As children develop, it’s important for them to feel like they have their own space to retreat to within the home. Many kids want to start putting their own stamp on their environment, whether that’s having a say in the colour and design of the bedding that they use or putting up their pictures and handmade decorations on the walls. When it comes to customising a space for your growing child, picking out the right furniture is a key consideration. While kids might be more interested in getting the cool bed shaped like a racing car or the platform bed with space underneath it, as a parent, getting the right bed size is one of the main things to consider. Keeping your child safe and comfortable is a main concern, and you also need to think about affordability – your child will keep on growing, so most parents want to purchase beds and other furniture items that will grow with your child for a few years. There are several standard bed sizes to consider for children. Here are some tips to keep in mind to help you pick the right size bed for your little one.
