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. |

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.

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.
What mattress fits the best with this bed frame?
We suggest a mattress thickness of 4-8 inches to ensure that the mattress does not sit above the high or scoop side of the frame. We recommend the following mattress dimensions for a safe and comfortable fit in our bed frames:
Crib / Toddler Frame
Mattress: 52"L x 28"W
Twin Frame
Mattress: 75"L x 38"W
Full-size Frame
Mattress: 75"L x 54"W
We suggest a mattress thickness of 4-8 inches to ensure that the mattress does not sit above the high or scoop side of the frame.

Product Updates

Customer Reviews
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.
Overall I’m happy with the bed. My son sleeps in it every night without a problem! However I was a little disappointed with the packaging. The packaging would have been ok if we lived closer but it didn’t hold up well. One of the inside panels came slightly damaged and for the price I should have had no issues.
Thank you for your feedback on the Floor Bed. We are glad to hear that your son is enjoying his new bed every night. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the packaging. Our support team has reached out to you to address and replace the damaged panel as this is not the expereince we want our customers having. Looking forward to hearing back from you to resolve this!
Beautifully built, easy to assemble (no tools needed) and my son is slowly and making progress from sleeping on our bed.
Exactly what I was expecting! Also had fun putting this together with my toddler. She loves it.
