Shorty Beds
Not every bedroom has space for a full-sized bed, which is exactly why we stock a dedicated range of shorty beds within our wider children's beds, designed specifically for compact spaces. A shorty bed uses a smaller mattress than a standard single, typically around 75cm wide by 175cm long, making it a smart choice for compact rooms, box rooms, or anywhere floor space is tight.
Shorty beds are a great option for younger children who don't yet need the full length of a standard single, offering a snug, secure fit that can feel much less overwhelming for little ones moving into their first proper bed. As your child grows, our single beds offer the natural next step up in size, while our low sleeper beds provide a similar low-to-the-ground feel with a touch more length for slightly older children.
Because they take up less floor space, shorty beds also leave more room in the bedroom for play, storage or a cosy reading corner. If you'd like to make use of that extra space, take a look at our beds with storage collection, many of which are also available in shorter frame sizes. Shorty mattresses are readily available too, so replacing bedding as your child grows is straightforward.
Every shorty bed in our range is built from quality materials by trusted manufacturers, with the same attention to safety and comfort as our full-sized ranges, plus free UK mainland delivery and a price match guarantee.

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.
