Childrens Captains Beds

For a genuinely space-saving solution, our range of children's captains beds offers one of the smartest storage combinations in our wider children's beds range, combining sleep and storage neatly in one single frame. Each captains bed consists of a raised single bed, typically measuring around 196cm in length, with a bank of drawers built neatly into the base underneath for easy, everyday storage.

Because the storage is fully integrated into the frame itself, a captains bed is a particularly good option for smaller bedrooms where a separate chest of drawers simply won't fit. Many of our designs also feature a pull-out trundle bed, perfect for sleepovers, making a captains bed a genuinely flexible long-term choice as your child's needs change. If you'd like to compare other combined storage options, our wider beds with storage collection is well worth browsing too.

A captains bed is a natural step up from a toddler bed once your child is ready for a full single frame, offering the reassurance of solid, raised sides along with practical, everyday storage. If your child isn't quite ready yet for the height of a captains bed, our low sleeper beds provide a gentler transition, while our single beds collection offers a similar footprint without the built-in drawers, for families who already have separate storage furniture in mind.

Every captains bed in our range is built from quality materials, and is designed to give your child a comfortable, secure and peaceful night's sleep for years to come, and comes with free UK mainland delivery and our price match guarantee.
