There are many children’s beds out there, and single beds come in all shapes and sizes. A single bed usually refers to the actual size of the bed. So a Bunk Bed, High Sleeper, Mid Sleeper, Cabin Bed, Loft Bed, trundle bed etc. These types of kids’ beds can all be considered single beds.
For this guide, we will only concentrate on traditional standard kids single beds with mattress (3ft Single). These regular childrens single beds are found in most households; they are usually made of wood or sometimes metal. These basic bed frames can suit most budgets and are often used as a guest bed for sleepovers but are most commonly found in a child’s room.
There are no hard rules about what age a child needs to be to use a single bed. Most parents will transition their children from cot to bed between 18 months and three years of age. However, some parents may feel more comfortable with their child in a Cot Bed or Toddler bed, to begin with as these tend to be lower to the ground and have side rails, and are considered the perfect transitioning bed.
A themed bed would also be good for a young child as little ones may prefer a princess or superhero themed bed.

If your child moves straight to a single bed, you can fasten a separate guardrail to prevent them from falling out. Ensure the rails are correctly installed, and there’s no gap between the mattress and the rail
