  1. Step 2 Princess Palace Twin Bed

    Saturday 25 August 2012


    It can be difficult to get children to go to bed, as they want to stay up and enjoy spending more time with the grown ups, or even just play for longer. Sleep is important for young brains though, getting them well rested and able to cope with the challenges of the next day. Children are constantly learning and experiencing new things and need to be well rested and prepared for the next day by at least 10 hours sleep each night.

    With the Step 2 Princess Palace Twin Bed, getting your little girl to go to bed should no longer be a struggle, as it is built with fun and imagination in mind, making your little girl feel more like a princess than ever and meaning she’ll be desperate to head to bed at the end of a long day so she can continue her fantasy life where she has her own kingdom to rule over!

    Step 2 Princess Palace Twin Bed

    The Step 2 Princess Palace Twin Bed is designed like the perfect fairytale castle, with a curved, bridge-like main body and little turrets to the top and bottom of the bed. The headboard is spectacular, with high towers and ‘windows’ through which your little princess can see her own kingdom, painted in minute detail to complete the look. The entire bed is designed in pink and white to fit in with any girls dream colour scheme, and will fit in wonderfully with any girly bedroom. The bed is also extra large for little girls, being twin sized and perfect for sleepovers, or just for giving your child more space to stretch out in her bed and bring her games up and into the castle!

    The bed has safety rails so it will make for a great first bed for really little children and the windows have window sills on which your child can place an alarm clock, favourite toys or even a book of fairytales so that she can enjoy magical stories before she drifts off in her own magical bed. The Step 2 Princess Palace Twin Bed even has a convenient night light which your child can switch on and off themselves without having to get out of bed, so they can read themselves to sleep. It would also be great for little girls who are getting used to going to bed with the light off.

    Pick up a soft twin mattress and pink or princess themed bedclothes to complete the look and you should find you never again have trouble getting your little one to go to bed! The bed needs to be put together at home, but once it is fixed together is very sturdy with smooth edges and corners to prevent your child from injuring herself even if she chooses to make her bed her personal playhouse as well as a place to sleep!

  2. Little girls will love the idea of sleeping in the Little Tikes Cozy Cottage Toddler Bed & Mattress in pink/purple as it creates an exciting new world for them to enjoy and play in, before curling up to sleep.

    The Little Tikes Cozy Cottage Toddler Bed & Mattress in pink/purple is designed in durable moulded plastic which is sturdy enough to last many years and will easily remain comfortable for your child as she grows. It has a moulded shingled roof and window as the headboard, with little shutters on the window to allow for realistic and exciting play for your little one. The foot of the bed is designed into a garden gate giving the impression of a little home that your child can sleep in every night, making them feel completely comfortable and secure and making for hours of exciting play every day.

    The headboard has secret shelves behind the headboard shutters where your child can hide her secrets and treasures, and can be part of some great games whether she is alone or with her friends. The bed includes a mattress and support platform which will mean your child is completely comfortable night after night, as well as being cocooned in a safe and warm environment.

    Why not make the room complete by decorating your child’s room to look like a little village or town, in which her bed is the centerpiece? This can be done simply with paints or even transfers and wall decorations, and you could put green or flowered carpet down to complete the look. Your child will be thrilled to ‘own’ her own town and be the princess of her own little kingdom. In fact, you may find it more difficult to get your child to leave her bedroom than it had been previously to get her to go to bed.

    Having their own space is so important for children, as it helps them to develop a sense of self and really take pride in their own possessions. Although children tend to be fiercely proud of their belongings, it can be difficult to get them to take care of their room in the same way, but by making their bedroom into one large playhouse which they can enjoy playing in time and time again, you may well solve the age old problem of how to make a child want to tidy their bedroom!

    The Little Tikes Cozy Cottage Toddler Bed & Mattress in pink/purple is the perfect first bed for a child ready to progress out of cots and into grown up beds, but still needs a little encouragement to enjoy the feeling of a real bed, still feeling safe and actually wanting to go to bed each night.

  3. When they are young, it can be a nightmare trying to get children to go to bed, as they want to stay up and play, read - or generally do anything other than sleep. However, sleep is very important for children, and more so when they are very young as it helps them to shut down their brains for a few hours, recharge and rest so that they are ready for all the learning and exploring they are bound to do the next day. Good sleep also promotes growth and development in children, as well as preventing you from having to deal with a grumpy child all day the next day.

    So how can you get a child to want to go to bed? One of the best ways to do it is to make their bedroom somewhere special and comforting that they can’t wait to go back to every night. If their bedroom is their favourite room in the house you should find it so much easier to get them to head there once the sun goes down and it is time to sleep.

    Little girls love the idea of being princesses, so one of the best ways to decorate their bedroom is like a princesses castle. You could paint the walls their favourite colour, have toys and trinkets dotted around the room as well as a comforting and magical night light. But the centerpiece for any bedroom has to be the bed and this is where you’ll find no bed better than the Worlds Apart Generic Rose 4-Poster Toddler Bed.

  4. Every child should have a novelty bed when they are little. They possess a whole host of benefits that are certainly worth taking advantage of!

    Novelty beds are great because they add a wealth of character to the room in which they are placed in. As a bedroom is personal to the person who sleeps in it, it should be a room whereby the person feels comfortable and at ease. After all, our bedroom is a representation of who we are. Therefore, the more personality injected in the room the better!

    A bed is the most important element in dictating the vibe and character of the entire room. This is because it is the main furniture piece in any bedroom and thus when anybody walks in it is the first thing they notice. Therefore, if the bed is a stand out piece which boats a lot of style and personality, it will make the room look better altogether.

    Having a bedroom which looks good and is full of character is especially important when it is a children’s bedroom, as they need to feel at ease in their bedroom in order for them to get to sleep. In fact, novelty beds have been proven to aid children at night time; they help them drift off and avoid bed wetting and nightmares.

    When buying a bed many people make the mistake of thinking that ‘any old bed will do’, after all, all we need to do is spruce it up with a nice duvet cover, right? Of course this can be the case. But there are beds with a wealth of character so why not take advantage?

    The choice of novelty beds in the shops today is pretty much endless; you can find absolutely anything to suit your little tot. Nevertheless, one of the best choices to go for if you have a little boy is the KidSaw Racing Car Bed. Most boys love cars, and if your boy dreams of being the next F1 driver then let him be one in this brilliant bed!

  5. Everyone’s bedroom tends to be their favourite place in their home. This is mainly because it is personal to them, it reflects who they are and thus they feel more comfortable in it.
    Many parents tend to underestimate the importance of ensuring that their child’s bedroom is fun and that each piece of kids furniture is picked with great care. As you know, children cannot decorate their rooms themselves, thus they do not have full control over the way in which it looks. Nevertheless, it is more pivotal for young people over anyone else that they are happy and at ease in their bedroom.

    In fact, more often than not, problems children experience at night time, such as; trouble sleeping, bed wetting and nightmares are all to do with their surroundings. If children do not feel comfortable and at ease in their own bedroom then they will feel scared and unsafe, and this results in the problems stated earlier. 

    A boring and uninspiring room will not provoke any positive emotions from your child. Many people think that simply painting a boy’s room blue and a girl’s room pink is enough, but that is not the case. As your child gets older, their personality becomes stronger and you will be more aware of the things they like, they things they don’t like and their personal traits. You should use this knowledge when it comes to decorating their bedroom, with fun and excitement being the final two key pieces in the puzzle. 

    If you are struggling to think of ways in which to inject some personality into your child’s bedroom then don’t worry, it is really simple. There are tons of different types of kids furniture on the market today that you can purchase. 

    One of the most popular and beneficial types of kids furniture is novelty beds. After all, a bed is the most important and central aspect of any bedroom and thus it is of the utmost importance that you choose this piece of furniture wisely. A novelty bed is great because it allows your child to feel like they are jumping into something else, rather than a plain old boring bed, for instance, you can get race car beds. It has also been proven that novelty beds help children with any sleeping issues they may have.

    In addition to a novelty bed, you should also try and incorporate furniture which looks fun and makes your child want to be around it. For instance, instead of a hard plastic chair, why not go for a bean bag? It is little things like this which make such a huge difference in the end.
    If you have a look in shops and on the internet you will be surprised to find a whole host of unique and exciting furniture pieces for children. Make sure you take advantage of this and let your child’s bedroom be their own little home.

  6. From a young age a child will start to get proprietary about their own space and will start to see their bedroom as the one place in the house where they make their own rules and have their own kingdom. For adults, too, this can be a good thing, as it means your child is apt to spend as much time there as possible leaving the main living areas free from clutter - and giving you time and space to get on with things around the house.

    For this reason you should try to make your child’s bedroom as friendly and welcoming as possible, bringing in some aspect of their personality but also offering them something a bit different to enjoy.

    Bunk beds and high sleeper beds can be a great way of saving space and also making for a more exciting sleeping environment. Kids love to explore something a bit unusual and the sensation of being much higher off the ground than usual can make bedtime very special for them. With high sleeper beds you will be able to fit a workstation underneath for homework, or something more relaxed such as a futon or sofa for overnight guests and when they have friends round. This can free up far more space in the room and make it seem less cluttered, as well as leaving you a place for wardrobes, bookshelves and so on if it is a small room. With bunk beds you can easily make both bunks exciting, with the top bunk obviously being high off the ground, and curtains around the second bunk to make a cozy hideaway for whichever child chooses this bunk.

    For smaller children, having a secret place where they can hide favourite toys and enjoy time in their own space completely is important, especially as you won’t want them to have a lock on the door while they are small. Find a decent sized playhouse which doesn’t take up too much of the room but which still has space for them to keep one or two special and private things. If you don’t want to buy a playhouse, you can always erect a tent or teepee in the room - which can give a more magical air anyway and be done for almost no money with some sheets and washing line or wire.

    Your child may want a living space of their own as part of their bedroom and this can be simply done with some stylish childrens bedroom furniture. This gives them somewhere to play with friends, and even sit and read quietly when they wish to be on their own. Put a rug down in between seating and you can form a little living room within their bedroom without it taking up too much space or costing the earth.

    In anything you do, you should get your child involved in what they want and try not to say no to anything - after all this is their space and as long as it can be maintained should reflect their personality.

    Most little boys love Thomas the Tank Engine and thus they will love this piece of kids bedroom furniture. Many parents overlook the importance of ensuring that their child's bedroom is an exciting place to be in. After all, your child is going to spend approximately at least one third of each and every day in their room sleeping. Thus it is highly important that they feel happy and at ease in their bedroom environment.

    In fact, studies have shown that novelty beds help children to have a better sleep. This is because they make them feel more relaxed and comfortable. They feel safe and secure around Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends because they feel as if they know them; after all they do watch them on TV every day. If your child has trouble sleeping then you would be surprised by how buying a novelty bed could easily ease this issue.
    Novelty beds can also help with more pressing problems, such as; bed wetting and bad nightmares. This is because they aid the fear or unease a child may experience when it comes to night time. As mentioned earlier it is because they feel as if they are in a more familiar environment, whereas a plain bed which has no meaning to them may come across as more of an alien concept.

    The little tikes Thomas and friends train bed and mattress will add tons of personality to your child's bedroom. This means that they will find their bedroom a much more fun place to be in. Many children hate being in their room if it is boring and uninspiring. Plain walls and boring basic kids bedroom furniture do not evoke any positive feelings in a child and will simply leave them bored and frustrated. So think exciting and think novelty beds!
