Scooped Sides shorten the entry point for children to climb off and on. Some parents find this helps for children who are attached to the support that their crib provides. The Scoop Right Side has a high section on the left side and a scooped entrance on the right side. The child will sleep with their head by the high side with their feet by the scooped entrance. |

The Scoop Left Side has a high section on the right side and a scooped entrance on the left side. The child will sleep with their head by the high side with their feet by the scooped entrance. |

Small children need to have space to right themselves if they roll off the bed. For children under 18 months, do not place Low Side or Scoop Side closer than 12" away from the wall.
The High Side should be less than 1.5" or greater than 12" away from the wall. This will prevent children from getting stuck or give them space to right themselves.
Many families also baby-proof the room: secure furniture, remove distractions, be aware of safety needs like choking hazards, and use a monitor.

Recently, the Floor Bed's slats were changed from birch slats to a slat roll crafted from maple in order to increase the strength of the frame and ease of assembly. Please note that with this change, the slats are now positioned slightly higher, raising the mattress within the frame by 1.2 inches
This Floor Bed was built to last with strong Baltic Birch plywood and a smooth, no-VOC finish.
We suggest a mattress thickness of 4-8 inches to ensure that the mattress does not sit above the frame. Use the height calculator to determine the bed height depending on your mattress thickness.

Low to the ground to support independence
Unlike traditional beds, a Montessori floor bed is designed low to the ground so children can climb in and out independently. Every aspect, from its height and proportions to accessibility, is guided by Montessori principles for a developmentally supportive space for your child.
Easily converts from a toddler floor bed to a low platform bed, accommodating your child as they transition to a big kid bed.
A Montessori bed supports your child’s independence, and natural sleep habits. It creates a child-centered space where children can climb in and out safely, encourages child-led routines, and creates opportunities for co-sleeping or emotional connection at bedtime.

The CPSC advises open beds for children 15 months and older. Some families switch earlier, others wait. You know your child best with how they sleep, their room setup, and readiness. Every child is different, so observe and adapt their space to support their unique growth, safety, and independence.

Traditional Montessori floor beds typically do not include rails, since the goal is to allow independence and unrestricted movement. For families who prefer a little extra security during the toddler years, the Sprout Sosta Bed offers an adjustable design with optional rails that can be added or removed as needed.
For a Montessori floor bed, choose a mattress that fits the frame snugly and supports your child’s needs. A 4–8 inch mattress is recommended, keeping the bed at the right height to allow children to climb in and out safely. We encourage you to check the manufacturer’s size variance guidelines to ensure a safe and snug fit. For more tips, see our full mattress guide.

We love the bed, it's accessible for our 1yo. It's comfy, secure and was very easy to build. It's a really nice quality piece of furniture - which means a lot in this day and age.
My only little gripe is that one part didn't seem perfectly sanded.
We got this as our toddler moved out of a crib and it’s been great. We got a twin so we can cuddle together — doesn’t happen often but nice when it does. It was easy to put together and seems high quality. Works well with a Newton twin mattress.
This bed frame is amazing love the quality snd craftsmanship super easy to put together. If you have a light dead blow hammer its easier but can definitely just be pushed together. It was an absolute pleasure putting this together.
After shopping around for weeks for the right floor beds for my twin boys I kept coming back to the Montessori Floor Bed. I am so glad that I chose this bed over all others on the market Everything from the careful packaging and quick shipment to its easy assembly and attractive minimalist look. Other reviews mention a gap between the mattress and frame but I found that gap to be small and unnoticeable. My boys love their new beds and have even slept sounder since having them! Very satisfied with my purchase and comforted to know that it was built without harsh chemicals.
Check the thickness of your mattress before ordering! Our mattress (my green mattress kiwi) was higher than the bed frame making the safety rails completely useless. We decided to return the bed and had to pay $125 to have it shipped back. FedEx damaged the box/product while shipping it back and the company took another $50 off our refund. Now we’re out $200 and still don’t have a bed. We were considering buying the Sosta but after this experience we won’t purchase from this company again.
Easy to assemble and looks perfect in my toddlers room. This is his first big kid bed and it has made the transition super easy. Low enough to the ground that I wasn’t worried if he rolled out and no railing to make him feel confined so he can get in and out all by himself easily.
The bed is solid and great quality and nice minimalist design. But putting it together was a lot of work which i did not expect. The pieces don’t come labeled and they look identical but they are not. Every piece goes into a specific slot and it would have been great if it came labeled. After a lot of trial and error, moving pieces around, we were able to assemble the bed together. Once assembled, it is great.
Our daughter absolutely loves her new bed. It arrived earlier than expected and it’s such a great quality. 100% recommended.
My 2 year old loves this bed! My husband easily assembled it on his own. It is super heavy and sturdy which is great. We paired ours with the Leesa kids mattress and we love it!
This is a great floor bed. My toddler loves it. However, we had to file the wood a bit to be able to insert the parts. We wish the assembly could be easier.
We're glad to hear that your toddler loves the Birch Montessori Floor Bed. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during assembly, as that is not the experience we would want you to have. This doesn't sound like a typical assembly experience and we would love to make this right. Please send us more information to support@sprout-kids.com so we can look into the problem!
We just got the Birch Montessori floor bed for our almost two year old. We love it! There was one step in the assembly that was difficult to get the pieces together and had us scratching our heads, but we got it to work with a little more force than we were originally using. I do think the bed is well made and I love the look. The best part is the child-centered design. Love that she can get in and out on her own, and that we can flip it over later when she's bigger and doesn't need a floor bed. Very happy with our purchase.
We purchased our first sprout Montessori floor bed in 2022. Since then, there have been improvements with the slats and it makes it SO much easier to assemble. We love both our Sprout beds. We will need to replace a slat from our original purchase in 2022. Customer service is great and reminded me to do so before the 5 year warranty passes This bed makes me feel like my kids will not be hurt if they ever fall off the bed. Great product overall! Highly recommend. We paired it with a five little mo key mattress from Costco.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you love both your floor beds and that the design changes made to the slats have made assembly easier. Our customer experience team is here for you when you need to replace your slat from your first bed!
Our 18 month old is loving his new bed! Packaged well and simple to assemble. Love that we are able to flip it to be higher off the ground as he grows. The crib to bed transition has been great. Definitely would recommend this floor bed!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with your Floor Bed! We are so happy to hear that the transition from a crib has gone smoothly. Hoping your little one loves his bed for many years to come!
We got the crib sized one high one low side bed for our little one. It's a great height and we love that it can support the grown-ups! It was easy to assemble due to its simple design. We wish there was a queen size for us!
Quality is superb!
Both of our kids love their beds! They are great because they can grow into it plus it is comfortable for mom or dad to sleep with them! That is a plus right there. It is amazing. Our kids have had played around and hurt themselves on the beds and it is a learning experience. I love that it has fostered independence from an early age. They will hopefully last for a long time and beyond!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are thrilled to hear that both of your little ones are loving their Floor Beds and that they have helped foster their independence as they grow. We hope they will continue to serve your family for many years to come!
I loved this bed so much for my son (now 3) that I had to get one for my daughter too! (16m old) I love that they can use the beds independently and I don’t have to worry about them falling off. They each have a twin size so they can use these beds for years to come! Absolutely love the quality of Sprouts products! We have many of their items throughout our home :)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Both spaces you have prepared for your little ones are breathtaking and we are so thrilled that the Floor Bed could be a part of them. Hoping they continue to serve your family for many years to come!
We bought this bed for our daughter when she was two years old. The bed is beautifully made and will adapt to her changing needs as she grows.
Thank you so much for sharing the experience you've had so far with your Floor Bed! We are completely blown away by your beautifully prepared space. We hope your family is able to enjoy it for many years to come!
We bought when daughter was 18 months and have since flipped it over now that she's older. It has helped her sleep improve so much since we bought it! I also love that it can hold my weight as well. We've laid on it reading books before bedtime or just playing.
Love this bed! Our toddler has been using it for over a year and a half! Love giving her that independence
We moved our 2 year old from a crib to the floor bed and were very happy with it. We got a full so it’s very spacious and comfy. Assembly was very easy. We went with a Naturepedic mattress which is a couple inches too small, but it doesn’t worry me much. Overall I’m very pleased and glad we went with this bed!
Solid materials and thoughful design with minimal parts made for a simple assembly.
