Safety isn't a feature of our products, but the foundation.
Every child's bed must meet strict safety and durability standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and ASTM International. At Sprout, we test our beds thoroughly to make sure they meet these standards for safety.
With the Sparrow bed, we strength-tested various parts of the bed until failure. Then we evaluated how those parts failed and whether those failure points were acceptable for real family use. We iterated on the curve of the headboard multiple times until we landed on the version you see now. We don't say final version, because we never view something as final, because we always welcome feedback.
After testing individual parts, we test the bed as a whole. We know it’s easy for brands to say something is durable, but we’d rather show you.
That’s why we created this strength testing demonstration.
Standardized testing confirms the bed is safe for everyday use, but we wanted to see just how far we could push the Sparrow Bed beyond those requirements.
One by one, we began stacking as many 32-pound cinder blocks onto the bed as could fit.
The goal wasn’t to create a 'normal use' scenario, but to demonstrate the level of strength built into the design. The Sparrow bed is made with solid wood and designed with an intentionally high weight capacity (500–650 lbs), making it strong enough for co-sleeping and years of everyday use.
For us, durability matters because childhood is active and unpredictable, and your furniture should be ready for all of it.
