There are loads of different styles of kid’s beds these days and the choice can be bewildering, even if you just want a simple single bed?
To help you narrow the options it’s worth pointing out, maybe, that if you limit your search to beds made of solid wood it will make your life a little bit easier. This is because buying a bed for your kids isn’t something you want to be doing too often and a solid wood bed is going to last a lot of years – so you should only have to do it once.
And it’s no point saying your budget is limited because there are low-priced options available too. This is just a small sample but includes a few different styles and a fair range of prices also.
Please bear in mind the prices quoted are maximum retail so you’ll probably find them on offer for much less. Also remember with all of these beds you’ll need to factor in the cost of new mattress too.
