Description
Bedtime feels like camping in this teepee toddler bed. Natural wood legs cross at the top like the poles of a tent, white rails run between them, and the slatted base sits just above the floor so your toddler can climb in and out without help. It is a cosy, confidence-building first bed for the move out of a cot, and a magical one when it is dressed with fairy lights or a soft canopy.
The mix of white and natural wood suits both a neutral nursery and a brightly coloured toddler room, and the open frame keeps the space feeling light. It makes a memorable Christmas present for a little one who is ready for a bed of their own.
Why a teepee bed works for toddlers
- Low slatted base, so a toddler can get in and out on their own and a roll out of bed is a short one.
- Cot bed mattress size, 140 x 70 cm, so you may be able to reuse the mattress from your cot bed.
- Open tent frame ready for lights, bunting or a light fabric throw.
- Compact footprint of 144 x 81 cm that fits a small bedroom or nursery.
Mattress
The bed takes a standard 140 x 70 cm cot bed or toddler mattress, sold separately. Choose a firm, breathable mattress that fits snugly with no gap around the edges. Matching toddler mattresses are suggested below this listing.
Safety
A floor-level toddler bed has no side guard rails, which is part of its appeal for independent toddlers. Some parents add a soft rug alongside for the first few weeks. Never attach a canopy or lights within reach of the child, and use only low-heat LED lights kept away from bedding.

Assembly and care
The bed arrives flat packed with the fittings and step-by-step instructions. Two adults make assembly easier, and it is best to build it in the room where it will stay. Re-tighten the bolts after the first few weeks of use and then every few months, because solid wood settles slightly as it acclimatises to a centrally heated home. Wipe the painted surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry them straight away; avoid bleach, solvent cleaners and abrasive pads, which can dull or chip the paint. Keep the frame a little way from radiators so the timber is not exposed to direct heat.
