There are so many fantastic toddler beds and toddler bedding sets out there with all manner of quirky and fun designs that you’ll be spoilt for choice.

We recommend making as much use of the toddler bed as possible. For example, could a bunk bed be an option if you’re envisioning sleepovers with friends or even a younger sibling one day? Or why not make use of the extra storage that many toddler beds can offer and search for a bed that offers storage space for toys or spare bedding for your toddler mattress.

Alternatively, a loft bed may also be appealing as this allows for the use of the floor area below for different purposes such as a den or general play area.
