Choosing the best bed for your baby

The bed is the main element of the baby's room, if there was only one piece of furniture in your child's room it would obviously be the bed. The choice of the cot is important to ensure that your child sleeps safely. The best choice is the classic wooden slatted bed. The bed must be in good condition, with a system of assembly in perfect condition so that it does not give way under the weight of the child. Favour beds with a slatted base that can be positioned on several levels to follow the child's growth and prevent baby from falling out of the bed when standing up.

An environmentally friendly wooden slatted bed

To ensure a healthier and softer sleep for your child, choose wooden beds, which are more natural than retro-style metal beds. Choose environmentally friendly wooden cribs that are PEFC certified, check the origin of the wood and choose a bed that meets European standards. The paint that covers the bed must be water-based paint, special child-friendly and without any danger either regarding volatile components or in case of contact with the child's mouth. Remember to check the emission rate of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), which must be very low so as not to be harmful to the child's health.

The different types of baby bed

Among the baby beds, the choice is vast you have the possibility to choose a classic 60x120 cm bed or an evolutionary bed of 70x140 cm. The evolutionary beds make it possible to follow the growth of the child and to be transformed into a learning bed. Simply remove the bars on one (or both) sides and the bed becomes easily accessible for the child while remaining on a reassuring size adapted to its small size. To create a more playful sleeping space or to furnish a Montessori inspired bedroom, offer your child a solid wood Tepee bed 70x140 cm that you can customize as you wish.
