Shorty Beds

Finding the perfect bed for a small bedroom can be a challenge. That’s why Children’s Bed Shop presents our brilliant selection of shorty bed options, the essential space-saving solution for compact children's rooms. We understand that smaller box rooms, awkward attic conversions, or shared spaces often require a bed that is shorter than a standard single. Our shorty beds are specifically designed to meet this need, providing a comfortable and safe sleeping area without dominating the entire floor. By choosing a shorty bed, you maximise the usable floor space, giving your child more room to play and study.

The shorty bed is ideal for children who have outgrown their toddler bed but whose room size prevents a standard single. These beds typically measure 2ft 6in wide (75cm) and 5ft 3in long (160cm), a size specifically engineered to fit snugly into tight spots. Despite their compact nature, we offer a wide variety of styles, including robust frames, colourful finishes, and smart storage options like drawers and shelving. For solutions that require even more vertical storage, you may also wish to explore our great range of mid sleepers.

We insist on quality and safety across our entire collection. Every shorty bed meets rigorous UK and European safety standards, ensuring long lasting durability and peace of mind for parents. Our frames are built to last for years, growing with your child through their primary school age and beyond.

Shorty Beds FAQs

What Are Shorty Beds?

Shorty beds, available here at Children's Bed Shop, are simply shorter versions of standard single beds. They are specifically designed for children's rooms where space is limited, providing a comfortable and safe sleeping area without occupying the full length of a standard bed.

What Age Are Shorty Beds Suitable For?

Shorty beds are an excellent choice for children who have outgrown a toddler bed but whose bedroom space is too small for a standard single. They are generally suitable for children from around age four up to their preteen years, offering a perfect transitional size as they grow.

What Size is a Shorty Bed?

A shorty bed typically measures 2ft 6in wide (75cm) and 5ft 3in long (160cm), which is roughly ten inches shorter than a standard 6ft 3in single bed. This compact size makes them ideal for smaller box rooms or attic conversions, allowing you to maximise available floor space.

How Long Will A Shorty Bed Last?

With their robust construction, a shorty bed from our collection is designed to last for many years. Provided it is used within its weight and size specifications, it should easily see your child through their primary school years and beyond until they are ready to transition to a full-size single bed.
