Kids are always very excited when it comes to changing their bed beacause they understand they are growing. Parents, on the other hand, are not always that excited beacuse changing the bed means they have to search for the right bed size and this might take time.

This post is intended to help with the find typical bed dimensions we use for kids. Typical dimensions refer to mattress sizes as the size of the bed may vary depending on the furniture design.

You may come across other dimensions as well but the ones presented here are the most common ones.

CRIB

You can find two crib sizes:

A. Mini crib

B. Crib

Both mini crib and crιb are suitable for babies under 2 years of age.

If the crib can be converted to a small bed then, the bed, is suitable for kids until the age of 5.

2. TODDLER BED

Toddler beds are suitable for kids 2 to 5 years old.

You should always consider the safety of the toddler and add a bed rail.

3. SINGLE BED (XL)

Single beds are suitable for kids above 5, teenagers and adults.

3. SMALL DOUBLE BED

We often use this dimension in teenager bedrooms.

TO SUM UP:

Mini crib	60×120	Babies<2yo
