r/floorbed

Is 14 months too young? I’ve seen conflicting advice on wether they just need to be over 12 months or wether they should be 2 before introducing a pillow

My daughter is just obsessed with pillows, we recently transitioned her to a floor bed but any time I bring my pillow in with me to lie on while I’m settling her she insists on lying on it and falls asleep much quicker. I will then pull it out from under her but I’m wondering can I just get her a toddler pillow at this age (14 months). Was looking at the keababies one

Hi everyone, I’m planning on transitioning my 7 month old to a floor bed. He currently sleeps with us in attached as a side car to our bed, however I’m getting a little worried now he’s crawling and I don’t want him crawling out of the bed!

We only have space for a single bed, so will need a single mattress. Does anyone have any UK recommendations for this? I understand a single mattress will not technically meet safety regs as not specifically made for under 12 months.

Trying to not break the bank. Setting up a twin-sized floorbed for my little one, I need it to be something I can also sleep on as needed. Waffling between something more eco or just getting IKEA. The bed frame I ordered has a slatted base, so that accidently rules out most of the latex-based ones that I was originally looking at.

Currently looking at (in no particular order):

5 Little Monkeys 8" Cushion Firm Mattress ($399 from Costco)

My Green Mattress "Pure Eco" Kids Mattress (currently on sale for $594, this is definitely top end of my budget!)

Arizona Premium Mattress Twin Eco Sleep Hybrid Mattress with Extra Firm topper option (also on sale for just under $600)

Any of the IKEA mattresses in Firm, all under $500, and several options for $200-400 (but omg, how do I pick one??)

I am a side/back sleeper and can handle very firm surface (big-time camper). Maybe you've got a recommendation that I haven't thought of. Or perhaps a combination (firm short coil mattress from IKEA with a firm latex topper, perhaps?) that has worked for you. I'm open to suggestions, and definitely need some steering because these options are all over the place.

Please help me with my analysis paralysis!

I just ordered the bed frame, so I'd like to get a mattress on order asap, too!
