Safe & Effective Use
Every child is different. We encourage you to observe and adapt your child’s space based on their unique abilities and needs.
Until you observe your child and have a better understanding of their abilities with the bed, we recommend a 12-inch distance from the wall when just the platform is in use. These recommendations are to avoid entrapment of your child between the wall and bed frame. Regulation states "if the bed is placed against a wall, the guardrail on that side is expected to prevent a child from being entrapped between the bed and the wall. The guardrail on the wall side of the bed must extend continuously from one end to the other."
Sprout side rails, headboards, and footboards meet the ASTM Full-size Crib guidelines found in F1169-19.
Mattress Information
We recommend a twin-size mattress between 6-8 inches thick
FAQ
Will the Sosta Bed be available in Full Size?
We hope to make a Full size version of the Sosta bed in the future!
At what age should I transition my child to a floor/toddler bed?
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) advises beds “intended to provide free access and egress to a child not less than 15 months of age.” These regulations prevent companies from selling beds that are not entirely enclosed as products for children under 15 months. Many families choose to switch their child earlier than 15 months while others choose to wait. We believe that you'll know what's best for your child. You know how your child sleeps, how their room is set up, what they'll need to grow and what you're comfortable with. Every child is different. We encourage you to observe and adapt your child’s space based off of their unique abilities and needs.
Is there enough room to lie down with my child? Can the bed handle the weight of an adult?
The frame fits a standard twin size mattress and has a weight limit of 400 pounds laying or sitting on the bed with a mattress.

Customer Reviews
As with all sprout products we’ve purchased the quality of the materials is great. The arsthetic is also great but unlike the rest of our sprout items this one misses the mark for design/functionality. There is nothing holding the mattress in place so it’s constantly half way on the floor. The other floor bed we have from sprout is great in that the mattress stays firmly in place no matter how much my toddler twists and turns. Overall, it’s a beautiful piece of furniture but if you aren’t buying the side walls you’re better off with their more traditional floor bed.
Thank you for your feedback on the Sosta Bed, we are glad to hear that you appreciate the quality of our materials. We apologize for any inconvenience you’ve experienced with the design of the platform, particularly regarding the mattress slipping off the frame. We will definitely take your comments into consideration for future improvements! Thank you for being a loyal customer.
Happy with the bed. I also bought Juniper mattress from Costco and saatva waterproof mattress protector. Lastly, I got a truck-shaped pillow from Pottery Barn. The result: my 23-month old wanted to sleep in this bed on day one.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience as well as your mattress and bedding recommendations! This is so helpful. We hope the Sosta bed can continue to serve your family for years to come!
The Sosta bed is the third piece of furniture we've ordered from Sprout, and we will undoubtedly be back for more. Fantastic craftsmanship, simple assembly, and absolutely worth the wait. Our toddler loves it. Highly recommend reading the blog they compiled of community mattress recommendations—we choose one from the list and had zero issues with fit.
After buying a flimsy, disappointing house bed from another company, we decided to purchase two Sosta beds for our kids. We started with floor beds and just attached legs for our older child.
We are SO pleased with our purchases! The beds are extremely solid (our family of 4 can all sit on one twin bed without concern) and have withstood some very vigorous play with no dents or dings. I think these will truly be the only beds they'll need throughout childhood!
