Montessori floor bed - natural

Wooden floor bed. Many households choose to put babies in cribs; however, cribs are confining, affect the development of their visual sense, hinder independence and can be safety hazards. The floor bed provides children with freedom of movement and the opportunity to experience independence.

• Pre-crawling infants find it easier to visually observe their environment from the floor bed unlike cribs and bassinets.
• Older babies can crawl or walk out after napping, explore their rooms and engage in activities without needing help or monitoring.
• Babies can get in and out on their own which leads to them choosing to get into bed when tired or sleepy.
• The floor bed eliminates risks from falling if they roll off and avoids injuries from climbing in.
• Helps children feel respected as they don’t depend on an adult to get in and out, boosting self-esteem.
• Empowers children by giving them control over their rest and waking schedules and builds trust.
• Encourages decision making and problem solving as the child chooses what to do after getting out of bed.
• Helps the child develop a healthy body scheme and understand the edge, movement and control of their body.
• Makes it easy for the parent to lie next to the child for feeding or cuddling, unlike a crib.
• Can be used for many years with no transition hassles from crib to bed.
• Standard crib mattress of size 140cm x 70cm to be used.
• Parental guidance necessary at all time.
