Happy New Year! Who doesn't love the fresh start that a new year gives us all? Now that the hustle and bustle of the busy festive season has passed, we finally have the time and headspace to take on new projects and challenges. Improving and revitalising our homes is a great place to start and children's bedrooms are often the room most in need of frequent updating as children grow and their needs and preferences change. Choosing the right bed is an essential part of renovating a child's bedroom and our extensive range of children's beds will take your child from toddler to teen. We have scoured our entire collection in order to cherry-pick some of our most innovative and exciting models that we hope will inspire you this year. Here are our top picks for 2023:

Our Top Pick for Boys

Whilst all of our beds are suitable for both boys and girls, we wanted to pick out a bed that epitomised the playful sense of fun and adventure you might expect from a young boys bed! The Steens for Kids Midsleeper can be completed with a number of accessories that will ensure restful nights and fun-filled days. Blue fabric panels form a tent underneath the bed to create the perfect hideaway den, whilst the matching blue tunnel over the top of the bed frame provides a cosy, safe space for sleeping. We love the attention to detail in this bed, such as the Pocket Tidy attached to the side, ideal for storing bedtime reading and special belongings close to hand. The Steens Midsleeper comes in a choice of three finishes, so you can be sure that this bed will complement the colour scheme of your little boy's bedroom.

Our Top Pick for Girls

Scandinavian style meets every little girl's dream playhouse in our top pick for girls. The Thuka Nordic Playhouse bed is the ideal young girls bed as it will inspire the imagination whilst also being sturdy and cosy enough to ensure night after night of peaceful slumber. The slatted timber frame, finished in a light, bright white, will look calm and fresh against any room décor, whilst the open part of the frame lends itself perfectly to a string of soft fairy lights or some pastel-coloured bunting. We love the charming little window and the sloping roof that forms a cosy canopy over the sleeper. The Playhouse Bed is a wonderful way to let your little girl make their room truly their own!

Our Top Pick for Teens

High-sleepers are an ideal choice for teenagers as they maximise the space in their room whilst hitting the right notes in the style stakes. Our top pick for teenagers this year is the Parisot Online Gaming Highsleeper. The space beneath the bed has been cleverly designed to be the ultimate gaming space, featuring a generously-sized desk that spans the entire length of the bed with custom storage specifically proportioned for PC towers and gaming accessories. Above, a shelf at the end of the bed includes a double USB socket, so all tech is fully charged and close to hand! But what we really love about this bed is the remote-controlled LED light strip which looks fabulous lit up against the black finish of the bed and will allow even the most discerning teen to truly customise their space.

Want More? The Top Pick we wish we had as a Child!

One thing is for certain, here at Children's Bed Shop, bedtime is never boring! It truly delights us to offer such a wide range of styles and solutions and we are always striving to feature the most innovative new products. We finish our list of top picks for 2023 with the bed we all wish we had as a child - the themed bed. We have a large selection of themed beds, from police cars to campervans, but the one we simply could not resist is the Julian Bowen London Bus Bunk-Bed. The iconic double-decker bus becomes a double-decker bed, complete with a colourful painted finish and an attention to detail your child will love. Headlights, windows, wheels and wipers, this bus bed will provide a one-stop journey to sleepy town!

A New Year is a chance for a new start and whilst we cannot help you with your fitness goals or your resolution to learn a new language, we can help you find the right bed for your child. We hope that our top picks for 2023 has inspired you & we wish all of our customers a happy, healthy 2023!
