What Feedback Led Roomix to Redesign Their Toddler Bed?

The Parent Feedback That Sparked Our Toddler Bed Redesign

Parents told us what they needed. Faster assembly. Sturdier construction. Flexible options that adapt to how you actually parent -- not some idealised version of it.

We listened to hundreds of families navigating the cot-to-bed transition and redesigned our Roomix Elevated Toddler House Bed White around their real experiences.

The feedback was specific. Parents were exhausted, trying to assemble furniture whilst juggling toddlers. They needed beds that clicked together in minutes, not hours. Frames sturdy enough to handle bouncing and climbing without wobbling after a few months.

One parent captured it perfectly: "I don't need another thing that tells me how to parent. I need furniture that works with how we actually live."

That insight shaped everything. Designer Stephen Clark -- dad to energetic twin boys -- brought these experiences to life with part-assembled side panels using Easy Lock fittings, modular add-ons that grow with your child, and customisable barrier positions you can move when life changes.

Key Improvements in Our New Transition Collection

The redesigned bed arrives part-assembled. Side panels come dowelled and glued before they reach you. Easy Lock fittings mean the frame clicks together in about 20 minutes using the included Allen key.

We switched to 100% solid FSC pine throughout -- no compromise. Parents told us their old beds wobbled after months of toddler chaos. This version's built to last through years of climbing, bouncing, and general everyday wear.

The **Grow Me Add system** changes how long a bed stays useful. Start with the basic frame. Add house roofs when they want their own little hideaway. Elevated legs when they outgrow the low profile. Soft-close under-bed drawers when you need storage. Barrier openings can shift from side to centre when you change rooms.

We've designed safety in, not added it on. British Standards compliant (BS 8509 for toddler size, BS EN 716 for larger beds). Softly rounded edges. Carefully designed gaps to reduce entrapment risks. Every finish uses child-safe, water-based wax.

Available in four sizes from Toddler (160 x 90 cm mattress) up to Double (190 x 135 cm mattress), the bed suits co-sleeping families and those supporting independent sleep.

How the Redesign Supports Your Family's Needs

The redesign doesn't prescribe how you should parent. Co-sleeping families can choose larger sizes (up to 190 x 135 cm Double) with room for stories and settling. Parents supporting independence can opt for the low-to-ground, Montessori-inspired set-up with side barriers for reassurance.

**Customisation includes:**

• Barrier opening position (left, right, or centre front)
• Natural pine or white finish
• Optional drawers for storage in smaller bedrooms
• House roof add-ons for play and imagination
• Elevated legs when your child grows

Solid construction, British Standards compliance, soft-close drawers, and rounded edges build the confidence you need during the cot-to-bed transition. You can trust your child's freedom to move.

For organising bedroom toys and books beautifully, our Kids Montessori Toy Storage and Kids Montessori Bookshelf complement the bed perfectly.

Why Parents Love the Results

Parents report smoother bedtime routines and children who genuinely enjoy their new sleep space.

"My daughter climbed in on the first night and said it was 'her special house'," one parent shared.

Co-sleeping families value the space and sturdiness: "I can lie down comfortably for stories without worrying the frame will shift."

Choosing your bed starts with size. Toddler (160 x 90 cm) suits compact rooms and younger children. UK Single (190 x 90 cm) grows with them into the school years. Small Double and Double sizes suit co-sleeping families or those who simply want more room.

Add drawers if storage matters. Choose elevated legs when your child outgrows the low profile. The furniture adapts to your family's actual life, not the other way round.
