What to Look for in a Kids’ Bed Frame
Let’s be real — kids don’t just sleep in their beds. They jump, wrestle, snack, and occasionally build forts. That’s why durability is key. Solid slats and strong frames keep everything in place when things get wild. No wobbles, no creaks.
Safety matters too. Look for low heights that make it easy for little legs to hop in and out, and smooth corners that won’t leave a mark if they bump into them mid-adventure. You won’t find any over-designed distractions here either — just clean finishes, practical shapes, and colours that fit right in with the rest of your home.
Storage space doesn’t hurt either. If you’ve ever needed a quick spot for spare bedding, puzzle pieces, or mystery socks, a little clearance under the bed goes a long way. Some of our options also fit a trundle underneath, which is great for sleepovers or squeezing more into small bedrooms.
Single, King Single and Double Beds
Size depends on age, space, and how long you want it to last. A kids single bed frame is a solid pick for toddlers and primary-aged kids, especially in smaller rooms. If you’re working with more space or planning ahead, a king single gives a bit more growing room without taking over. And for older kids or those who like to sprawl, a kids double bed frame is a good long-term choice.
All of our frames are designed to fit standard Australian mattress sizes. You can browse our full mattress collection to match your pick.
Match With Kids’ Bedroom Furniture
Once you’ve got the frame sorted, it’s easy to build out the rest. Think practical pieces like bedside tables for books and nightlights, kids’ storage for toys and clothes, and rugs to soften up the floor. Our simple finishes mean everything works together without much effort — no design degree needed.
