What is a starter bed and who is it for?
Starter beds, also known as shorty beds, are smaller than standard single beds. They're ideal for children aged 4 and up, especially those moving on from a toddler bed. Their compact size makes them a good choice for smaller bedrooms or for fitting multiple beds into one space.
What size are starter beds, and what mattress do they need?
Starter beds typically measure around 175cm x 75cm, compared to a standard single at 190cm x 90cm. They require a smaller-than-standard mattress, which is often available to add at checkout. Always double-check the dimensions listed on the product page to make sure you choose the right size, or speak to our team to chat through the details.
Can I use a starter bed in a small bedroom?
Yes, of course! The smaller footprint is perfect for compact rooms or shared bedrooms as they help free up valuable floor space for play, furniture or storage.
Is there space for storage underneath the bed?
Many starter beds sit low to the ground, but some designs allow for underbed storage like drawers or storage boxes. Check individual product descriptions for clearance height and specific features.
Are your beds easy to assemble?
All of our beds come flat-packed with clear, step-by-step instructions. Most people find assembly straightforward, but if you'd prefer help, you can add our assembly service at checkout or get in touch afterwards to arrange it.

Can I speak to someone if I have questions before ordering?
