When your child has outgrown a crib but isn’t quite ready for a simplistic big bed, the Little Seeds Alessi toddler floor bed is the perfect transition. Adaptable to whatever stage your child is in, this bed is two-sided so it can be flipped from a low-floor bed to raised bed.

Created from durable wood and smooth-edged plywood, the lightweight Montessori bed comes with a preassembled slat base that supports any twin mattress. It’s a clever alternative to flush-against-the-floor beds and traditional beds, meeting in the middle at an extremely low height.

FAQs

Are Montessori floor beds safe?

Absolutely! In fact, for young children and those prone to lots of sleep movement, these brilliant designs are actually best. That’s because they sit either flush against the floor or just a couple of inches above, limiting the potential for dangerous falls. And you can still add guard rails—meaning even rolling is reduced.

Who created floor beds for toddlers?

Well, humans have slept on or near floors for thousands of years—so the jury is out on that when. Dr. Maria Montessori did reinvigorate the idea and concept for young children in more recent years though, suggesting toddler floor bed options and Montessori-style beds for toddlers and young school children as a way to improve sleep safety and quality.
