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. |

Additional bed frame sides can help extend the lifespan of your bed so it works for your child through all developmental stages.
Recently, the Floor Bed's slats were changed from birch slats to a slat roll crafted from red oak 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.
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.
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.

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.
