Bed Accessories are essential details when a cot needs to be made more comfortable and functional. They are suitable for children and are especially helpful when you want to raise the bed, add storage space or improve sleep safety. The category includes under-bed drawers, bed-raising legs and bed rails, which work well as part of a child’s room design. Additional bed-raising legs allow you to raise the bed by 10
or 20 cm, making it easier to get in and out of bed. Under-bed drawers on wheels or with folding sections help keep bed linen and smaller accessories organised, freeing up space for other furnishings. Bed rails are designed for situations where a child needs more guidance and protection during sleep, especially when moving from a toddler bed to a larger bed.
Bed Accessories for Adapting a Child’s Bed for Greater Comfort and Safety
Bed Accessories let you adapt a child’s sleeping area to suit their age, sleeping habits and the layout of your home. If the bed is too low or difficult for a child to access, bed-raising legs offer a quick way to add height. If you need extra storage, under-bed drawers keep bed linen and everyday essentials out of sight.
The category also includes bed rails to help keep children safe by creating a more secure boundary around the sleeping area. These accessories can help a child sleep more peacefully and make it easier for parents to check that their sleeping position is suitable.
Raise the Bed with Additional Legs: Add 10 or 20 cm
Additional bed-raising legs are a practical solution when you want to make the bed height more suitable for a child and caregiver. Common heights are 10 cm and 20 cm, so you can choose the size that makes it easier to get in and out of bed. The additional legs are usually made of square-cut wood (e.g. 60 mm thick), helping to provide stability during use.
When choosing, it is also worth considering the finish and how well it matches the kids' room decor. Options are available in different colours, including natural, white and grey, making it easier to coordinate with the bed frame and other furniture.
- Size options: 10 or 20 cm high, as needed
- Material: square-cut wood, for a stable installation
- Use: improving access to the bed and increasing comfort
- Colours: natural, white, grey, as well as brighter shades for a child-friendly feel
Under-bed Drawers for Storage (on Wheels and with Solid Bases)
Under-bed drawers are one of the most effective ways to keep a child’s room tidy and reduce the need for separate storage cabinets. Designed to fit under the bed, they can hold bed linen, extra blankets, seasonal textiles or toys that do not need to be on display all the time. Many drawers move on wheels, making them easy to pull out even when space is limited.
Some drawers are available with a solid base, helping to provide more support, including when the drawer is used as an extra sleeping space (for example, with a mattress added). There are also foldable options, which are delivered in parts and assembled according to the instructions.
- Storage purpose: convenient storage for bed linen and smaller items
- Movement: drawers on wheels are easier to pull out
- Solid base: provides firmer support and added versatility
- Assembly: some models require self-assembly
Bed Rails and Protective Sides: A Safe Sleeping Area
If a child moves around more in their sleep or needs a more secure boundary, bed rails can help. They attach to the bed frame and help reduce the risk of accidental falls. Bed rails come in different widths and heights, so it is important to choose a size that suits the frame of the bed being used.
The category also includes wooden protective sides, which help make the sleeping area safer and create a secure boundary in a child’s room. Checking the measurements and fit helps ensure that the rail serves its purpose and remains securely attached to the frame.
- Fit: choose a width and height to suit the bed
- Fastening: the rail attaches to the bed frame using a locking system or fastener
- Benefit: added guidance and protection during sleep
- Care: surfaces can be cleaned as needed, according to the material and finish
How to Choose the Right Bed Accessory
A good choice starts with your needs: are you looking to raise the bed, add storage space or improve sleep safety? Bed-raising legs are suitable for adjusting the height, drawers help keep a child’s room tidy, and bed rails create a more secure sleeping area.
It is also worth considering ease of use. A drawer on wheels is practical if you need frequent access to it. If you want to use the bed more flexibly, options with a solid base may offer additional possibilities. Checking the exact measurements and fit with the bed frame helps prevent problems later.
