How to Choose a 'Big Kid' Bed: Making the Right Transition with Oliver Furniture

How to Choose a 'Big Kid' Bed: Making the Right Transition with Oliver Furniture

The transition from a toddler bed to a “big kid” bed is an exciting milestone for both parents and children. Typically happening around the age of 5, this transition is often an emotional one for both parents and kids. While it marks growing independence for your child, it also brings about new considerations, especially when it comes to safety and comfort. In Singapore, where space can be limited, choosing the right bed for your child’s room can significantly impact their sleeping experience. Here’s how you can confidently make the switch and choose the perfect ‘big kid’ bed with Oliver Furniture.

1. Prioritize Safety and Stability


Safety is the number one priority when transitioning your child to a larger bed. The jump from a low toddler bed to a full-sized bed can be a little daunting for some children, so it’s essential to choose a bed that offers both security and comfort. Oliver Furniture offers several options that prioritize safety while still providing the style and durability families in Singapore need. For example, the Wood Original Kids Bed is designed with soft, rounded edges to minimize the risk of bumps and bruises, making it ideal for children transitioning to a new sleeping setup. Additionally, you can add a detachable bed guard to beds to keep your child from rolling out of bed during the night. These customizable safety features can provide peace of mind as your child adjusts to their new space. To further enhance safety, consider placing a deep-pile rug next to the bed where your child gets in and out. This extra cushion can soften any potential falls, helping them feel more secure as they become accustomed to their new sleeping arrangement.

2. Choose Sturdy, High-Quality Materials


As children grow, they become more active, which means their furniture needs to be up to the task. Sturdiness and durability are essential when choosing a big kid bed. You’ll want a bed that can handle not only sleep but also play, climbing, and even the occasional jumping session. Oliver Furniture uses high-quality materials like solid wood and high-grade metal to craft beds that stand the test of time and energy. The Wood Original Loft Bed, for example, is made from solid wood and features a strong, stable design that can withstand active kids. The bed's construction ensures that it remains sturdy even as children grow and become more mobile. Whether they’re reading, playing, or taking a nap, this bed can handle it all, providing a secure and reliable foundation for years to come.

3. Non-Toxic, Durable Finishes


A bed’s finish plays an important role in both its aesthetic and its longevity. Since kids’ furniture often takes a beating from spills, scratches, and occasional roughhousing, it’s important to choose a bed with a durable, non-toxic finish. Oliver Furniture beds come with water-based lacquer and paints that are both safe for children and resistant to wear. The Seaside Classic Kids Bed from the Seaside Collection, for example, is made with non-toxic, water-based finishes, making it an excellent option for parents looking for an eco-friendly, safe, and long-lasting piece of furniture for their child’s room. This type of finish not only ensures the bed remains in top condition but also provides peace of mind for parents who are concerned about the potential hazards of chemical finishes.

4. Versatile Designs that Grow with Your Child


One of the key aspects of choosing a big kid bed is ensuring that it can adapt to your child’s changing needs. As they grow, their preferences and room requirements may shift. With Oliver Furniture’s sustainable design philosophy, many beds are built to evolve with your child’s needs. For instance, the Wood Original Low Bunk Bed is a great option for shared rooms or rooms that need to maximize space. It can be easily converted into two separate beds as your child grows older or as their needs change. The bed’s design allows for long-term use, meaning it won’t need to be replaced as your child moves from their “big kid” phase to their teenage years. This adaptability makes it an excellent investment for families in Singapore who want furniture that lasts.

5. Comfortable and Supportive Mattresses


When making the move to a bigger bed, don’t forget to consider the importance of a good mattress. A child’s mattress plays a crucial role in ensuring a restful sleep experience. Look for a mattress designed specifically for children—one that offers both comfort and support. Oliver Furniture offers a range of beds that pair well with high-quality, child-specific mattresses, ensuring that your child has the perfect sleeping surface as they transition to a bigger bed. A good mattress will support your child’s growing body and contribute to better sleep, which is essential for their physical and emotional development.

I visited the Danish Design Co showroom recently and it is great to know that Danish Design Co now represents the excellent and high end Swedish bed brand: Duxiana. My husband and I purchased a Duxiana when living in Europe and we both really adore it. We have the Dux 6006 and from the first night on that bed we enjoyed better comfort and much better sleep. I truly believe this is one of the best furniture purchases we have made, you spend so much time in bed over a lifetime it is worth the investment. The only regret that I have is not buying a Dux earlier. I would recommend a visit to check them out. It is a cool showroom.

Glad to know there is a dealer selling Duxiana beds in Singapore! They are really comfortable beds that is worth the price, not to mention that they helped immensely with my insomnia after so many unsuitable mattresses that I have went through.
