Montessori floor beds are breaking all popularity records among parents. This is no surprise, as these beds are not only a beautiful addition to any interior but also a wonderful investment in a child’s development and independence. Still unsure why? Then this article is for you!
A Montessori floor bed ensures your child’s complete safety and gives you, as parents, peace of mind. Since the bed is placed directly on the floor, there’s no risk of the child getting hurt, even if they roll off the bed—though most models come with side rails. Typically, a Montessori floor bed is made from eco-friendly materials, which is another advantage over traditional beds. We craft our Montessori floor beds from high-quality alder wood, ensuring durability, so we recommend paying attention to the material and opting for alder. It’s strong, long-lasting, and can support up to 100 kg in weight. One of the most important Montessori criteria for this bed is the promotion of a child’s independent development and self-reliance.
How are floor beds beneficial for toddlers?
The benefits of a Montessori floor bed are obvious and multifaceted. First of all, such a bed ensures complete safety for the child. Unlike traditional high beds or cribs, where only parents can place the child, a Montessori floor bed becomes an accessible surface for sleep, play, and rest, positioned at the child’s eye level. Thanks to its low design, the child can easily climb onto the bed and just as easily get off it on their own. This not only reduces the risk of falls but also fosters a sense of independence and confidence in the child. Moreover, this freedom allows the child to independently follow their sleep routine, while parents only need to gently supervise the process. The second important aspect is the eco-friendliness of the product. Montessori floor beds are made from natural, environmentally friendly materials such as wood, which contains no harmful additives. The finishes used are water-based paints or wax coatings, which are completely safe for the child’s health. Even if the child decides to lick the bed, it will not harm them. These materials do not cause allergic reactions or emit toxic substances, making Montessori beds an ideal choice for parents who care about safety and environmental sustainability.
