Children’s beds are smaller versions of single adult beds. Children spend much more time sleeping in their beds than adults. Therefore, it is important to consider many factors before buying one for your child. What are the key differences between an adult bed and a children’s bed? Why should you buy an infant bed for your child? Below are some pros and cons of buying a kid version versus an adult one.

Advantages of the single bed for adults / Cons of the bed for children

1. Adults are older and a child can become them. Therefore, it will not be necessary to buy a new bed as the child grows.

2. Adult twins look like other normal twins. Therefore, your child will not feel that hers is smaller and not for adults. Having your own bed is important for a child to be more independent. Therefore, it is often important to give the child what his older sister or older brother has.

3. Regular twins do not have additional amenities and therefore you will not pay a premium for one. It is very easy to buy a normal twin for a good price.

4. Adult twins do not need mattresses for younger children or unique sheets specially designed for children’s beds. Therefore, you will spend less money maintaining these beds.

Advantages of the junior bed / Cons of the single adult bed

1. Children’s beds are specially made for the size of children. This means they are smaller in size and generally closer to the ground. Regular twins are made for adults, so they are not that close to the ground. They are easier for children to get on and off.

2. Children’s beds help children grow into adults. Junior beds often have additional built-in rails that will keep the child safe in bed. For normal twins, an additional bed rail will need to be added when the child is younger, especially if the child tends to roll while sleeping.

3. Children’s beds are specially designed with funny characters and fun things for children. For example, there is the race car bed designed for young boys and girls. All of these make going to sleep more fun for a child. This helps the parents and the child at night. Adult twins do not come with these characteristics, so other things will have to be added to compensate.

4. Some children’s furniture is specially designed for babies or young children. These toddler furniture are perfect for baby to grow into a toddler. These junior beds have special rails that can act as a crib and then turn into a regular junior bed later.

When buying furniture for your child, consider these pros and cons before making a decision. Each child is unique and you should consider their development before choosing. Also, consider the space in your home and other examples your child sees before purchasing your child’s junior bed.
