Considerations
Price – It’s safe to say that furniture is always considered an investment. A good quality cabin bed might seem like it is more expensive than a single bed, but this is because it has extra features such as a storage area, a play area, a study area, or space to have an extra bed, futon or blow-up bed.
Assembly – Cabin beds can be slightly trickier to assemble, therefore we highly recommend following the instructions step by step to ensure no mistakes. As cabin beds are higher off the ground, its important to make sure that every moving part is screwed in correctly, doing this will ensure your little ones will be able to sleep safe and sound.
Trend – It’s important to recognise that although your child might have his heart set of a particular bed with a crazy theme, their style might change very quickly, so considering what theme bed they get is important. We suggest going for a classic cabin bed that will last them well into their teenage years, and they can personalise it by using their favourite bed linen and soft furnishings.

School-age child – For children who need a mix of play and serious study time, a cabin bed is ideal for children of this age, you could fit a desk fit for a play station or for a computer. So, it’s the best of both worlds!
