There are many child friendly beds available that can make the transition much easier. How your child sleeps at night should be a big factor in which bed you eventually choose. If your child flails around in bed then it is wise to purchase a bed that has a guard to prevent them from falling off the edge of the bed.

The biggest issue many parents find however, is that children often are scared and intimidated by sleeping in a new bed that isn’t their cot. If this is the scenario you should consider the many child friendly designs the bed manufacturing companies are designing. Silentnight have designed a range of beds specifically for young children. They come with fun headboards that will make it appear more friendly and likeable for the child, and to make it even more appealing Silentnight have stitched in a secret compartment in the headboard for your child to store things. The mattresses themselves are full-sized single bed built to the highest standards. Every component keeps kids comfy and safe, from the Miracoil spring system to the rounded edges. There is also a ‘sleepover’ function that allows you to separate the mattress from base turning it into two beds for when your child has sleepovers.
The bed comes in four different styles; two for boys and two for girls. Boys have the option of a rocket or football headboard and the girls have the option of toadstool or heart style; all styles which are pleasing to the eye and which will distract your child when the big transition occurs.
