Selecting the perfect bed for your child involves balancing functionality, safety and style. With various options available, from traditional bunk beds to innovative high and mid sleepers, it's essential to understand the features and benefits of each to make an informed decision. Additionally, complementing these beds with suitable bedding, such as the Night Lark coverless duvet children's range, can enhance comfort and convenience. Here at Newport Beds we can source a diverse selection from multiple suppliers, ensuring you find the ideal fit for your child's needs.



Bunk Beds: A Classic Space-Saving Solution

Bunk beds have long been a favourite for families looking to maximize space. By stacking two beds vertically, they free up floor area for play or additional furniture. Modern designs have evolved to include built-in storage solutions, such as drawers and shelves, enhancing their practicality. Safety features like sturdy ladders and guardrails are standard, ensuring a secure sleeping environment. Built-in bunk beds, integrated seamlessly into the room's architecture, offer a bespoke aesthetic and can be customized with features like reading lamps and privacy curtains. Some styles can be separated into 2 beds when the bunk style is no longer needed


Mid Sleeper Beds: Versatile and Fun

Mid sleeper beds elevate the sleeping area to a moderate height, creating usable space underneath. This space can be utilized for storage, study areas, or play zones, making mid sleepers particularly suitable for younger children. Many designs incorporate themed elements, such as tents or slides, adding a playful touch to the bedroom. The average height of mid sleepers ranges from 115cm to 130cm, striking a balance between accessibility and functionality.


High Sleeper Beds: Maximizing Room Potential

High sleeper beds, also known as loft beds, raise the sleeping area higher off the ground, offering ample space underneath for various configurations. This area can accommodate desks, wardrobes, or even seating areas, effectively transforming a single piece of furniture into a multifunctional hub. High sleepers are particularly advantageous for older children and teenagers, providing them with a personal space that caters to both study and relaxation needs. Due to their elevated design, high sleepers are best suited for rooms with sufficient ceiling height to ensure comfort and safety.


Night Lark Coverless Duvet Children's Range: Simplifying Bedtime

Complementing your child's bed with appropriate bedding enhances comfort and simplifies maintenance. The Night Lark coverless duvet children's range offers an innovative solution by eliminating the need for separate duvet covers. These duvets feature built-in covers with engaging designs, such as the "Space Adventure" and "In the Garden" themes, sparking children's imaginations. Filled with hypoallergenic Smartfil® fibres made from recycled PET bottles, they are both eco-friendly and easy to care for, being machine washable and quick-drying.

T he company Shed Beds has some popular choices & comes in different colourways too. Fun to accessorise with cushions & duvets especially if there is a bedroom theme you are trying to create

Another option we think is great for Children's rooms is the Belletrix Day Bed which has drawers underneath too. Very stylish & functional at the same time


Choosing the Right Children's Mattress

A high-quality mattress is essential for your child's comfort and development. Foam mattresses are a popular choice due to their supportive nature and durability. They contour to the body, reducing pressure points and promoting a restful sleep. Hypnos, a renowned luxury mattress brand, has recently introduced a children's mattress to their range, combining premium materials with superior comfort. These mattresses are designed to offer optimal spinal support, ensuring a healthy sleep posture. Investing in a well-made mattress enhances the overall sleeping experience and supports growing bodies

Choosing the right bed for your child involves considering their age, room size, and personal preferences. Bunk beds, mid sleepers, and high sleepers each offer unique advantages tailored to different needs. Enhancing these beds with practical and comfortable bedding, like the Night Lark coverless duvet range, further improves the sleeping experience. Newport Beds make it easier to find the perfect combination to create a functional and a delightful bedroom for your children
