Why buy a princess bed?

When choosing a bed for your little one, it can be tricky deciphering between all of the fantastic options.

There are cabin beds, toddler beds, trundle beds, mid-sleeper beds and beyond. A lot can depend on the age of your child, too.

But, if you have a little girl who wants a comfortable, girly, ‘big’ bed, you can’t go wrong with a princess bed.

Not sure what a princess bed is? Well, the experts at Bunk Beds are here to explain why you should consider one!

What is a princess bed?

A princess bed is a style that’s designed to grab attention and provide a fun and imaginative place for your child to sleep. When little girls pretend to be princesses, they will be able to bring that to life with their very own luxurious bed that would not look out of place in a castle.

Princess beds come in a range of different designs and styles, giving your little one a wide range of choices for their perfect bed.

How old does a child need to be to sleep in a princess bed?

Children can sleep in a princess bed from the age of two.

A princess bed is ideal for transitioning your daughter from her cot into a bigger bed, giving them some independence – and some excitement!

5 reasons why you should purchase a princess bed

Princess beds are hugely popular because they’re different from other children’s beds. Lots of kids’ beds are designed to be colourful with a playful element to get children excited for bedtime, but princess beds take it one step further.

Here are five reasons why we believe you should opt for a princess bed for your child.

1. Style

Arguably the biggest reason to choose a princess bed is the design! They’re fantastic, fun and exciting for younger children and will help parents at bedtime as little ones will be interested and excited about sleeping in their beautiful bed.

Whether it’s a bed with a draped canopy, a four-poster bed with curtains or a horse and carriage design, there’s so much to choose from that is completely different from traditional beds.

2. Safety

Princess beds can also be extremely safe for young children thanks to many bed frames designed with rounded edges. A lot of princess beds are also low to the ground because they’re suitable for such young children.

This means that your little one is at less of a risk of falling off and hurting themselves because the drop is significantly decreased.

3. Storage

Some princess bed frames are designed with additional storage underneath the mattress, making them more advantageous for small bedrooms.

If your little one is in a small bedroom and storage furniture creates a cramped feeling, a couple of extra drawers underneath the princess bed can make a huge difference, allowing you to store clothes, blankets and more.

4. Transition

Many people choose to use princess beds as a transition from a cot to a bigger bed. This is because they’re closer to the floor and feature curved edges to reduce impact injuries.

A year or two in a princess bed allows your child to grow and then move into a bigger bed – possibly a mid-sleeper to take advantage of the playful and relaxing space below the bunk.

5. Fun

Finally, a princess bed provides huge excitement and fun for your little one!

If you’re struggling to get your child interested in bedtime, investing in a cute and colourful princess bed could be the solution. What better way to convince your little one to get in bed when they could be sleeping in a princess’ horse and carriage?
