Single, king single, double or bunk: which kids bed suits your child?
Shop all kids beds →
Choose a kids single bed when your child first moves out of a cot or when the bedroom is compact. A single suits most children from around age 3 through to 10. A king single sits between a standard single and a double, offering more length and width without the full footprint. It is the right step up for children who need more room but share a smaller bedroom. Choose a double when you want a bed that carries through to teenage years. For two children sharing, a bunk bed gives each child their own sleep space without doubling the room footprint.
All beds in our collection use child-safe finishes and sturdy frames built for active children. A stable, well-sized bed supports better sleep from the first night. Check dimensions and mattress compatibility on each product page before ordering.
Safety, Size and Long-Term Value
Kids Beds: What to Consider Before You Buy
A kids bed stays useful from toddler years through early teens. A stable frame that does not wobble, creak or flex under an active child supports better sleep and lasts longer. Child-safe finishes, correct mattress sizing and solid construction matter more than aesthetics. Bunk beds in particular need verified safety features on the upper bunk. Check each product before purchasing.
Mattress Sizing Guide
A kids single bed takes a 92 x 188 cm mattress. A kids double bed takes a 138 x 188 cm mattress. For bunk beds, upper and lower bunks may use different sizes. Confirm both sizes on each product page before ordering the mattress separately.

Single Beds
The First Bed for Most Children
The Jesse Single and Jesse King Single use a white timber finish and suit most children's rooms from toddler age onward. The king single gives more sleeping length than a standard single, making it a useful long-term option for growing children in smaller rooms. For a lighter, more contemporary look, the Akira metal range works across modern and Scandinavian children's rooms in white or black. See the full range of metal beds and white metal beds to compare options.
Double Beds
More Room, Long-Term Use
A double suits children from around age 8 upward and carries comfortably through the teenage years. It is the most future-proof size in our collection. The Jesse Double uses a solid white timber frame that stays neutral as children redecorate and grow. The Akira metal double delivers the same long lifespan in a lighter frame, available in white and black. Confirm exact dimensions and weight ratings on each product page.
Bunk Beds
Two Children, One Room
Bunk beds give two children their own sleep space without doubling the room footprint. The Welling Single Over Double suits siblings of different ages, with a single on top and a double below. The Welling Shaker White Dual Comfort Bunk suits two children of similar age needing equal comfort on both levels. Both Welling models come in classic white with Shaker-style panel detailing and use a fixed ladder for safe access every night. Browse the full range of kids bunk beds to compare models.
Buying Checklist
Kids Bed Buying Guide: Size, Safety and Style
- Bed size and room fit: A single suits most children from age 3 to around 10. A king single adds length and width for growing children who share a smaller room. A double suits children from around age 8 and carries through to teenage years. For two children sharing, a bunk bed uses far less floor space than two separate beds. Measure the room before you buy.
- Mattress compatibility: A single takes a 92 x 188 cm mattress. A double takes a 138 x 188 cm mattress. For bunk beds, confirm both upper and lower mattress sizes as they may differ. Never use a mattress that leaves a gap at the sides or ends.
- Bunk bed safety: The upper bunk must have full-length safety rails on all sides and a fixed ladder. Check the weight rating on the product page. As a general guideline, the upper bunk is suitable for children who can use a ladder independently.
- Frame and finish: The Jesse range comes in white timber and stays neutral as children grow and redecorate. The Akira metal range is available in white and black, suits contemporary styles and is lighter to move. Both use child-safe finishes throughout.
- Assembly and access: All beds require assembly. Bunk beds take longer to build and are heavier to move once assembled. Review assembly details and weight ratings on each product page. Measure doorways, hallways and stairwells before ordering larger frames.

We curate cushions, floor lamps, mirrors, bedside tables, dining tables, outdoor furniture and decorative pieces chosen specifically for Australian homes.

Our Sydney-based team understands how Australian homes are lived in. The open plan living and dining spaces that define modern Australian architecture. The need for furniture that is beautiful on the weekend and durable through the week. The importance of getting the details right, from the cushion on the sofa to the lamp beside the bed. We source every product with all of this in mind.
