Montessori floor bed with slats

A Montessori floor bed with slats consists of a mattress placed on top of a platform made of slats, which provide support and ventilation for the mattress. These beds are often used in Montessori-style bedrooms, giving the children freedom and independence in their living space. Floor bed slats also provide safe and cozy sleeping space for toddlers who are transitioning from a crib to a bed.

What is a Montessori floor bed with slats?

A floor bed with slats is typically lower to the ground than a traditional bed, which makes it safer for kids who may be prone to falling out of bed. Additionally, there are no sharp corners or edges that could pose a risk of injury.

What are the slats' features in the case of Montessori floor beds?

Slats are an important component of a bed frame, as they provide support for the mattress and prevent it from sagging or sinking. They also allow for increased air circulation, which can help regulate the temperature of the mattress and prevent the growth of mold or mildew.

Floor bed slats are usually wider and more durable than those used in a traditional bed frame, as they need to support the weight of the mattress and the child without the additional support of a bed frame.

When is it better to use floor beds with slats?

The best age for a child to start using a slatted floor bed depends on sleep habits and safety considerations. Typically, this option is perfect for toddlers and preschool-aged children.

Toddlers who have outgrown their crib and are ready to transition to a big-kid bed can benefit from it. The low height makes it easy for them to climb in and out by themselves, and it can also help promote their sense of autonomy. 

Our shop offers baby Montessori floor bed slats as well. This option has rails and is so low to the floor that it makes it impossible to at least somehow harm the child. Still, it is essential to guarantee there are no hazards in the room that could pose a risk to kids’ well-being.
