Children's beds come with a variety of options which may affect their sleep, including such items as the shape of the bed and the materials from which it's made.
One of the first considerations in deciding the right bed for a child is to consider the child's age.
Generally babies up to two years old sleep in a crib where they will be kept safe with pads, bumpers, and comforters, and also where they can learn to enjoy distractions like mobiles.
A good thing to remember is that when they begin "climbing" or trying to get out of the crib by themselves, that is the time to make other sleeping arrangements.
The toddler bed is a smart choice for children who are beginning to try to escape from the crib when parents are not around.
Toddler beds are smaller than regular beds and lower to the ground so that it is easy for children to get in and out of and if they roll over and fall off, it's a short fall, however many come with a guard rail to prevent just such an accident.
A "regular" or twin bed is the next step up, generally when children are about six years old, depending on his or her size, and one of the first and perhaps most important considerations at this point is the size of the bed.
A bed that is too large may cause him or her to feel lonely and maybe even a little scared while a bed that's too small may cause restlessness and difficulty sleeping.
Other beds built specifically for children include cabin beds, which have a wooden frame bed located on the top of drawers or a chest which makes a great space saver, and they are ideal for homes with smaller rooms.
For children who are school age and need study space there are combination bed sets which include desks where children can do their school work as well as have fun as they develop their creativity and skills with drawings or paintings.
Bunk beds are a possibility for a family with more than one child.
Children like bunk beds because they're not alone and the beds are fun, becoming whatever a child's imagination can make up.
They can hang a sheet over the top bed and have a hideaway, a dungeon or a house from which they can create a new life
