Montessori beds

A Montessori bed is low enough for children to climb in and out on their own, so bedtime feels like theirs. Choose a floor bed that sits just above the ground or a low rise bed on 20 cm legs, both in knot-free solid pine.

What Is a Montessori Bed?

A Montessori bed is a low, open bed that a child can get into and out of without help. The idea comes from the Montessori approach to a prepared environment: a room set up at the child’s height, so they can move freely and do things for themselves. In practice, a Montessori bed means a sturdy frame close to the floor and a mattress at a height your child can manage alone.

Montessori Floor Bed or Low Rise Bed?

Every Snuglee Montessori bed comes in two styles:

  • Montessori floor bed: sits just above the ground. It’s the classic Montessori choice, with the lowest possible height and a calm, minimal look.
  • Montessori low rise bed: stands on 20 cm solid pine legs. It’s still low enough to climb into alone, with space underneath for storage baskets and airflow.

Both styles have low side rails and a slatted base, and come in the same three UK sizes.

Choosing the Right Montessori Bed Size

  • Single (90 x 190 cm mattress): ideal for box rooms and smaller bedrooms.
  • Small double (120 x 190 cm mattress): more room to stretch out, with space for a parent at story time.
  • Double (135 x 190 cm mattress): a long-term Montessori bed with plenty of room to grow.

Mattresses are not included. We recommend a standard UK mattress 10–20 cm deep. Not sure which size fits your room? See our UK bed and mattress size guide.

Why Choose a Snuglee Montessori Bed?

  • Knot-free solid pine, with no MDF and no plastic parts
  • Low side rails that keep the mattress and bedding in place
  • A slatted base so air can circulate under the mattress
  • Supports up to 135 kg, so a parent can join in at story time
  • Arrives in one box and takes under an hour to assemble
