Description
The Kudl low cabin bed turns the dead space under a single bed into somewhere to actually put things. It sits low to the floor, so it suits younger children who have outgrown a toddler bed but are not ready for anything raised, and it works just as well in a teenager’s room where floor space has run out.
Storage built into the low cabin bed
Storage runs the full length of the frame in three sections. Two open niches sit at either end for books, boxes and the things that get used every day, and a central cupboard behind two doors takes everything that is better out of sight. In a small bedroom that is often enough to do away with a separate chest of drawers entirely, which is where the floor space comes back.
The black finish is a durable melamine over board, chosen because it wipes clean. Children’s bedroom furniture takes a hard life, and the surfaces are the part that shows it first.
Dimensions and mattress size
- Overall: H 51 × W 96 × D 196 cm
- Mattress required: any standard UK single 3ft, W 90 × L 190 cm
- Height to sleeping surface: 51 cm — low enough for a child to get in and out unaided
At 196 cm long and 96 cm wide the frame needs a little more floor than a plain single bed, because the storage is built into the footprint rather than hidden beneath it.
Living with a low cabin bed — worth knowing before you order
- The mattress is not included. Any UK 3ft single will fit.
- The two open niches stop roughly half way along, where the frame’s support rails cross. They are generous, but they do not run the full depth.
- The niches are open to the floor and have no base panel, so whatever flooring the bed stands on shows through. On carpet this is barely noticeable; on bare boards it is worth knowing.
- Supplied flat packed for home assembly, with fittings and instructions included.
- Finished in black.
A Christmas present that clears the floor
If a bedroom refresh is on the list this Christmas, this black low cabin bed does the job of a toy cupboard and a set of shelves in one piece. At 51 cm to the top of the frame it is low enough for a child moving up from a toddler bed to climb in safely on their own. A black frame hides scuffs and suits a room that is drifting from childish to grown-up, which makes it a gift that lasts well past the first Christmas.

Assembly and care
The bed arrives flat packed with labelled parts, fittings and step-by-step instructions. Two adults make assembly easier, and it is best built in the room where it will stay. Re-tighten the fittings every few months, because children’s beds take a lot of climbing. Wipe the melamine surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry them straight away; avoid abrasive pads, bleach and solvent cleaners. Because the storage niches are open to the floor, a quick vacuum underneath when you change the bedding keeps them clean. Pair the bed with a breathable children’s single mattress and a washable protector; matching mattresses are suggested below this listing.

Frequently asked questions
Is a mattress included?
No. The bed takes a standard UK single mattress measuring 90 x 190 cm, which you can buy separately. Four children’s single mattresses that fit are suggested on this page.
How much room do I need?
Allow 96 cm in width and 196 cm in length. The storage is built into the footprint, so it needs a little more floor than a plain single bed but no extra space beside it.
Can I add a bookcase headboard later?
This listing is the bed without the headboard. If you want the four-cubby bookcase headboard, the version with it is listed separately in the same colour.
What age is it suitable for?
The 51 cm frame height suits children moving up from a toddler bed, and the plain design works just as well for older children and teenagers.
Does it come assembled?
No. It arrives flat packed with fittings and instructions. Two adults make assembly easier.
