Roomix Transition Bed: How Long Can Your Child Use It?
How long can a child use the Roomix Transition bed with all its modules?
How long can a child use the Roomix Transition bed with all its modules? From around 18 months through to 8 years and beyond, depending on the size you choose. With the full module system, this bed adapts at each stage rather than being replaced.
How Long Can Your Child Use the Roomix Transition Bed? The Full Timeline
The Roomix Transition bed starts as a low, safe first bed and grows alongside your child.
| Age range | Bed configuration | Key modules |
|---|---|---|
| 18 months to 3 years | Floor-level, full barriers | Safety barriers, central opening |
| 3 to 5 years | Low bed, house roof option | Roof add-on, repositioned barrier opening |
| 5 to 8 years | Raised on legs, storage added | Legs module, drawers, bedside table |
| 8 years and beyond | Full single or larger | All modules, larger mattress size |
Built to grow, not to be replaced. Most toddler beds are outgrown within two years. The Roomix Transition bed, with its full module range, is designed to serve your child from their first night out of the cot through primary school and beyond.
Modules That Grow With Your Child: What Each Add-On Does
The optional add-on system is what separates the Roomix Transition bed from a standard toddler frame. Each module has a clear purpose at a specific stage, so you're adding only what your child actually needs -- nothing more.
Safety barriers come fitted as standard, giving toddlers freedom to move whilst staying safe. The switchable side or centre opening helps your child get in and out independently. And if you switch rooms? You can reposition the opening left or right without any fuss.
The house roof add-on turns the bed into a cosy den during ages 3 to 5, when imaginative play peaks. It needs no structural changes to the base frame and comes off just as easily when your child moves on.
Legs raise the bed off the floor as your child grows, creating under-bed space and a more grown-up feel. Add soft-close drawers beneath for storage that genuinely earns its place in a small bedroom -- little fingers included.
One frame. Real flexibility. The add-on system means you're not buying a new bed every few years. You add one piece at a time, when the moment's right for your family.
Pair the bed with our Kids Montessori Bookshelf to complete a child-centred space that supports independence. Like the bed, it's built from quality materials and designed to grow alongside your child.
From Toddler Bed to Single: Size Options and Long-Term Value
One reason families choose the Roomix Transition bed is size flexibility. It's available in multiple sizes, from a compact Toddler option (160 × 90 cm) up to a Double (190 × 135 cm) -- so you're not locked into a frame your child outgrows by age four.
Choosing a larger size from the start means a parent can join for bedtime stories during the transition without anyone ending up on the floor. As your child grows, that same frame becomes their everyday single or larger bed.
A toddler bed bought just for the toddler years often lasts 18 months to two years before it needs replacing. Size the Roomix Transition bed correctly from the start, and it can last well into primary school.

Safety and Durability: Built to Last Beyond the Toddler Years
Every Roomix Transition bed is made to order from 100% solid FSC-certified pine and finished with a child-safe, water-based wax. The construction meets British Standards: BS 8509 for the 70 × 140 cm toddler size and BS EN 716 for larger sizes.
Rounded edges, soft-close drawers, and solid pine joinery mean it's made to handle family life across siblings. Steady in everyday use -- not just in photos. It's passed the toddler test. Repeatedly.
With the right size and the full add-on system, you can reasonably plan for around eight years or more of use. For trusted guidance on children's sleep and wellbeing, the NHS guide on children's sleep is a helpful resource.
A Bed Worth Choosing Once
The question parents ask most is simple: will this last? With the full add-on system, it can cover the better part of a decade. Early years handled by low-level safety and independent access. Later years sorted with legs, drawers, and a frame that doesn't look out of place in a school-age bedroom.
Buy once. Choose well.
The bottom line: Choose the right size from the start, add modules as your child grows, and this can genuinely be the last children's bed you buy. For growth and developmental context, the WHO child growth standards are worth a look.
