Comparison – Choosing the Right Size Cabin Bed
Selecting the correct dimensions is the first step in optimizing a child's bedroom. Here is how our primary size offerings compare:
| Feature | 2ft6 Small Single Cabin Bed | 3ft Single Cabin Bed |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions | 75cm x 190cm | 90cm x 190cm |
| Best For | Narrow box rooms, small cottages | Standard children's bedrooms |

Specifications & Dimensions Guide
When selecting a bed, the mattress compatibility is vital for safety.

Note: Always measure the height of your safety rail before purchasing a mattress to ensure a safe sleep environment.
Support & Feature Guide: The Low Profile Mattress
Since cabin beds are elevated, the mattress used must often be shallower than a standard adult mattress to maintain the effectiveness of the safety barriers.
| Feature | Low Profile Cabin Bed Mattress | Standard Mattress |
|---|---|---|
| Average Depth | 12cm - 15cm | 20cm - 30cm |
| Support Core | High-density Reflex Foam | Hybrid or Sprung |
| Safety | Optimized for raised frames | Sometimes too high for rails |
| Comfort | Firm/Medium for spinal alignment | Varied |

How to Care for Your Cabin Bed

- Regular Rotation: We recommend rotating the mattress from head to toe every two weeks for the first three months, then once every three months thereafter.
- Frame Maintenance: Every six months, check the bolts and fixings of the cabin bed frame to ensure they remain tight and secure.
- Cleaning the Sleep Surface: Use a damp cloth to spot-clean any spills. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the foam or fabric.
- Warranty Compliance: Ensure your mattress is used on a compatible slatted base to maintain your 10-year warranty (available on select models).
