Freedom of movement for little sleepers.

Low beds are a great way to encourage autonomy and freedom in the early developmental stages of your child’s life.

With the Birch Montessori Floor Bed, your child can enter and leave independently, letting them regulate their sleep according to their body's needs. This freedom of movement helps children learn about physical boundaries and develop spatial awareness while staying safe thanks to the bed's low height.

What makes this floor bed different from a mattress on the ground? This toddler bed is low but still lifts the mattress from the ground to stop mildew from growing!

Bed Sides

 
 
1 Low + 1 High Side is for beds arranged with a side against the wall. Put the high side next to the wall to help prevent wedging for children who roll in their sleep. If you arrange your bed with the head against the wall instead of a side, we recommend two Low Sides unless you plan to move it against the wall at some point.
 
2 Low Sides is ideal for beds arranged with the head of the bed against a wall. The Low Side has a wide entry point that goes along the entire side of the bed. Children will be able to climb in and out of bed safely in order to engage with their surroundings.
 

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.
 
Each configuration can be adjusted to a taller, platform setting as children grow older and are ready for a taller "big kid" bed. Depending on the size of the mattress, the bed can last through their teenage years.
   

Features

  • Long-lasting with quality materials and the ability to transform into a platform bed 
  • Easily store for the next child/ pack flat to move or ship
  • Tool-less assembly
  • Finished smooth with no-VOC, UV-cured finish (safe for children and for the environment)
  • Made from durable, beautiful Baltic Birch plywood
  • Rigorous safety testing
  • The Twin and Full-size bed frames can hold up to 450 lbs in addition to the weight of a mattress

Safe & Effective Use

It is important for small children to have space to right themselves after rolling 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 either prevent children from getting stuck or give them space to right themselves.

Our customers have found the following tips helpful in making their children's rooms safe and conducive to sleep with the Floor Bed:

  • Secure all furniture
  • Keep the bedroom minimal
  • Put something on the floor to cushion fall (body pillow, foam play mat, sheepskin, folded blanket)
  • Remove distracting toys
  • Use short curtains
  • Cover outlets
  • Switch the door lock around or use a baby gate
  • Use a baby monitor with a video

Mattress Information

We recommend a mattress thickness of 4-8 inches. The twin-size mattress pictured is 6 inches thick. This product does not include the mattress.

FAQ

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.

How can I help my child make the transition to a floor bed?

Read community feedback about their experiences transitioning to a floor bed as well as a sleep expert's advice below.

When is the best time to adjust the bed from the low to the high orientation?

The high orientation raises the mattress an additional 5 inches off the floor. The best time to adjust the bed is when your child feels comfortable getting into the bed independently with the additional height.

We love the bed, it's accessible for our 1yo,

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.

Perfect for our 2 year old

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.

Amazing

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.

Exceeded expectations!

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.

Such a poor experience all around

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.

Perfect!

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.

Be prepared to solve the puzzle

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.

Great floor bed!

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!

Great bed after lots of effort to assemble

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!

Great bed for our toddler

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.

Second sprout bed and great improvements!

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!

Perfect floor 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 Love It!!

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!

Best bed frame ever!

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!

Best bed!

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!

Built for better sleep!

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!

Great floor bed!!!

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.

Great bed for toddler!

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!
