Square shaped bed is the epitome of child comfort that a child can enjoy from 0 to 12 years old. Among the available models, there are options for both infants and teenagers, and the same bed can be used for a long time. The square bed is a classic floor Montessori bed with an original design that allows customizing the sleeping space, perfectly fitting it into the room’s design.
The Design of Montessori Square Beds
The square bed design is one variation of the Montessori bed. Thanks to its low height, such structures are best suited for placement in a nursery, as the child can climb into and out of the bed without adult assistance. Additionally, the floor placement ensures quality and even support for the mattress, thus providing proper body alignment during sleep. The open sides of the square bed design provide easy access to the bed from all sides, allowing for easy changing of bedding. Furthermore, the open sides create a sense of space in the room, which can be especially beneficial in small bedrooms. The bed has a lightweight base, making it easy to move around the room, changing and refreshing the interior.
The construction can be decorated and transformed into a play area (simply by placing a sheet over it). Additionally, cozy and private spaces can be created inside, which will surely appeal to your teenagers. These models also exist in king-size, so parents can also appreciate the benefits of sleeping on a floor bed. This concept aligns best with Scandinavian, Provence, and Modern styles. Due to the simplicity of design, variety of sizes, and convenience, it is a functional and practical choice for any bedroom.
The Benefits of Montessori Square Beds
Montessori beds are not just about the philosophy of sleeping close to the floor but also about the importance of choosing quality, natural, and eco-friendly materials. Therefore, the Montessori square bed is made from natural alder wood. In models featuring low legs and slats, the slats are crafted from ecological, high-quality birch plywood. This material is flexible, which means the resulting sleeping surface is not as rigid as a fully floored one. Ultimately, the firmness also depends on the mattress; choosing a medium-firm option will make sleeping very comfortable.
The advantages of Montessori floor beds also include:
- This design always looks timeless and never seems to go out of style
- Kids feel more independent, being able to use their sleeping space independently without waiting for adult assistance.
- Parents have less difficulty transitioning the child to a separate sleeping place.
Montessori beds meet the highest quality standards, and the size can be chosen “for growth.” It means that one item can be used for many years without the need to buy a new bed every few years. Moreover, children get used to their sleeping place, and it becomes their safe haven where they can relax. So, by saving money, you are not compromising between price and quality but getting all the best conditions at once.
These are just practical and apparent advantages of choosing a square floor bed, but this furniture should also be considered in terms of its positive impact on child development.
- Children have the opportunity to freely use their sleeping space, which fosters confidence in their abilities.
- The open design promotes children from an early age to learn responsible behavior towards their space and make their bed independently.
- Independent use of the sleeping space allows children to choose when they want to rest or, conversely, get up and start the day. This helps them listen to themselves and their body’s signals and build a clear daily routine without stress.
So, whichever square bed you choose: a small square with rails and protective side handles or a king-size bed, you fill the interior with the comfort and coziness that every child deserves.
