Ikea Ajustable Toddler Bed

We bought this bed because our son was growing out of his cot and had to choose one that fitted in the tiniest bedroom in the world - basically the size of a large cupbard. A normal sized single bed would be too big. This bed is ideal for the purpose we chose. Because this bed is uniquely adjustable you need to purchase a special mattress (which comes in three parts) seperately and likewise you need to purchase special bottom covers too. However a friend I know got around this by using pillow cases on the head and foot end mattresses. The bed comes flat packed in three parts plus the slats ... more

When our daughter was 18 months she was a very active child in her sleep. Her cot was no longer big enough for her to comfortably move around in the cot! We had seen a small bed in IKEA which was a toddler bed which could extend with the child! It also on one side had a rail which would prevent them falling out!

The Bed came as a flat pack which my hubby found easy to make and put together! He put the frame together in about 20 minutes and the slates took ... more

I bought this bed for my son about six months ago after searching high and low for a bed that would grow with him but can still have to safety rails on the sides.

In toddler mode the bed has a small head board and foot board whick can be folded down later to make a larger bed. The advantage of this to me is that the ends have ... more

New baby means that toddler has to move out of the cot! We'd had our eye on this bed in ikea from a bit and my dad bought us it for Christmas, I believe it was around £80-£90 all in. Very easy to put it, with very clear instructions with diagrams to match, took us an hour in total to do every thing. The bed came with a side rail so Ewan wouldn't fall out of bed but we took this off quite quickly because he took to diving over it head first and landing on the floor, the bed is not high off the fall any way, less than a foot really, and this size of "fall" was a bit better than the one he was ... more
