Frequently Asked Questions
A Montessori bed is a very low-profile bed frame designed to support the child’s freedom of movement and independence from a young age. Also known as a floor bed, this style of toddler bed lowers the risks of falling out of a higher bed or a crib, while also fostering autonomy. bedBED™ offers the best of both worlds by starting as a safe, toddler floor bed and flipping into a raised ‘BED’ when they’re ready for a big kid bed.
Toddlers can start using a floor bed around the age of 15 months. While some families use a toddler floor bed from an earlier age, others may wait until their child is between 18 and 24 months. A Montessori floor bed is typically intended for children who can crawl or walk independently. Best practice is to follow the safety standards provided with your floor bed frame.
