Basic Floor Bed With Railing: If you prefer a minimalist look, you can opt for a basic floor bed with railing. The railing offers an added sense of comfort to keep the child inside the bed and you can optionally add bumpers for extra comfort when awake. Note that bumpers are not allowed for a crib, so if your child is younger than 2 years old, we recommend skipping the bumpers.
Sizes
Montessori floor beds come in sizes that fit the various types of mattresses, from crib mattresses, to twin, and full bed.

Choosing A Quality Mattress
When selecting a mattress for your Montessori floor bed, we recommend using a Dunlop latex mattress, as it is made from entirely natural materials. Dunlop latex offers excellent support for your toddler's growing body, is breathable to ensure a comfortable night's sleep, and is free from synthetic chemicals and allergens. Additionally, Dunlop latex mattresses are known for their durability—they won't sag over time and are guaranteed to last 10-20 years, making them a long-term, eco-friendly investment for your child's sleep environment.
