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.
We recommend a mattress between 6-12 inches thick
Use the height calculator to determine the bed height depending on your mattress thickness.
Low to the ground to support independence
High weight limit supports co-sleeping
Add legs to adjust from a floor bed to a big kid bed
It can be! The only essential element of a Montessori bed is accessibility for the child. As long as a child can get in and out on their own, rails can provide a balance between freedom of movement and safety.
Add legs to convert from a low floor bed frame to a raised kids bed, accommodating your child as they grow.
Tested to over 2,000 lbs
We weight tested a twin Sparrow Bed with as many grown men as we could fit to demonstrate real-world strength. Designed to remain stable under both static weight and everyday movement, it’s built to hold up over years of use.
Side Rail Dowels are 0.75" in diameter and 2.25" apart.
Headboard Dowels are 0.75" in diameter and 2.375" apart.
Sprout side rails, headboards, and footboards are compliant with CPSC crib slat spacing guidelines
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.

The name was suggested by a customer and then voted on by our audience. The analogy of sparrows and kids highlights themes of nurturing, growth, and freedom. Parent sparrows build a secure nest, feed their young, and teach them to fly, mirroring how parents nurture children to become independent adults. Sparrows represent joy, resilience, and the transition from home safety to independence
