Choosing the right bed for your little one can have a big impact on their sleep quality and comfort. Sleep is so essential for children’s development and well-being, so choosing the right bed and creating a relaxing sleep environment is a brilliant way to ensure that they’re at their best from day to day.
So, don’t worry about having to shop around endlessly as you search for the right bed - we have the perfect Divan bed options right here, ready to make your child’s dream bedroom come to life.
Plus, you’ll be delighted to know that our Black Friday sales are swiftly approaching, allowing you to discover amazing deals and high-quality children’s beds, just in time for the Christmas period.
In this guide, we’ll cover exactly why our Aurora Divan Children’s Beds make a fantastic choice, revealing the sizes and colours that are available, what makes them safe, how they improve sleep quality, what aspects of them are eco-friendly, and how you can easily care for them as well as getting the most out of your money. But first, let’s dive into how sleep affects children’s growth and development, so you can get an idea of what sleeping environment they need.
How Sleep Impacts Children’s Growth: The Science
It’s widely recognised that children’s sleep has a major impact on their day to day lives, but you might be wondering how exactly.
It is estimated that children aged between 6 and 12 need at least 9 hours of sleep, compared to adults who tend to require at least 8. It’s understood that better sleep helps children with their physical development, with improved bone and muscle growth, as well as quicker tissue repair as cells regenerate quicker during their sleep.
Better sleep also helps children improve their cognitive function, allowing them to concentrate more and process what they’ve learnt whilst being at school. If they have a great night’s sleep, they’re more than likely to process their days and memories better!
Research suggests that children with little sleep have lower moods and shorter attention spans, so implementing the right sleeping environment and supportive bed is a great way to solve this issue. That’s why we believe that choosing an aurora divan bed makes a must-have when it comes to your child getting plenty of sleep!
Why Choose An Aurora Divan Bed?
Aurora Divan Shaker Beds are designed with 3 spacious built-in drawers at the base, allowing your child to store so many of their toys. When it’s play time, they can have so much fun and get their toys easily from the drawers of the Divan Bed, and you can even teach them to tidy their things away afterwards.
Durable, long-lasting and made to withstand wear and tear over the years, our wooden shaker beds are the perfect choice to upgrade your child’s bedroom this year. They have a simple, timeless design, meaning the bed doesn’t feel outdated or too childish as your son or daughter gets older, making them a great investment.
What Colours & Sizes Are Available For My Son Or Daughter?
Choosing the right colour for your little boy or girl allows them to have a personal touch and a sense of ownership over their decor, allowing them to feel more at ease and at home in their bedroom, as well as expressing their creativity.
For the 3ft Single Aurora Divan Bed, we have a light pastel pink option, which is ideal for your little girl who is a fan of this pink shade. This colour will add so much warmth to her bedroom, creating a relaxing environment and making her feel like a true princess.
We also have a pastel blue shade available in the 3ft Single Aurora Divan Bed, which is ideal for your little boy who would like to decorate his bedroom with all things bright and colourful.
Alternatively, we also have a white Aurora Shaker Bed available that suits all interior styles. It’s also available in larger sizes - all the way up to a king sized bed, in fact. They are a timeless and versatile choice to add to your son or daughter’s bedroom, thanks to its neutral white shade and large size options that allows them to stretch out more as they get older.
How Do Divan Beds Improve Sleep Quality?
Our Divan Beds significantly improve children’s sleep quality as the sturdy wooden base contributes to improved spinal alignment and better sleeping positions. The wooden slatted base allows for improved airflow, so if your child is a hot sleeper, the Divan Bed makes a great option for them as air circulates better.
You can customise the comfort styles with the Divan Bed when it comes to mattresses. They’re suitable for all mattress types - whether it’s a memory foam mattress that moulds to your body over time, an orthopaedic mattress that helps alleviate back pains, or a pocket spring mattress that has reduced movement, you can select the right mattress type to tailor it to your child’s needs.
It goes without saying that the built-in storage system of the Divan Bed base can really enhance your children’s sleep quality, even for basic psychological reasons. Simply having a tidy and decluttered space creates a less chaotic environment and instills routines into your child’s day. It ultimately reduces anxiety and creates a peaceful sleeping environment that your child can’t wait to relax in, whether it’s after a long day-trip at the seaside, if they’ve been playing with their friends all afternoon in the garden, or if they've had a long day at school.
What Makes Our Children’s Divan Beds Safe?
Our divan beds are constructed with plenty of safety in mind, with durable wooden materials. They’re low to the ground, making them safer as there is minimal risk of your child hurting themselves if they fall out of bed - they won’t fall from a large height, as opposed to a bunk bed, for example.
Our Divan Beds are also designed with no sharp corners, reducing risk of your child scratching themselves on it. If you want to be even more sure, you could possibly invest in some clear and discrete guards that you can add to furniture corners. They come at a cheap price and they’re good for giving you even more peace of mind when it comes to your little boy or girl’s safety.
If your little one is feeling a bit mischievous and decides to jump on the bed, you can at least feel reassured by the secure slats - during the assembly process, we recommend that you ensure that they are tightly fitted to avoid any mishaps.
The drawers of the Divan Bed are safe as they glide out slowly, reducing the risk of your child trapping their finger after they’ve adventurously pulled out their toys for a play session.
Eco-friendly Aspects Of Children’s Divan Beds
If you’re someone who is eco-conscious and values protecting the environment, our Wooden Divan Beds for Kids make a great ethical choice. Crafted with our expert team of people, our beds are made with FSC Certified Wood. This means that the wood is sustainably sourced, and the products made from it support forestry.
Wood is a natural and renewable material that is non-toxic, making it kind to the environment as well as for your children to use. It’s eco-friendly since it breaks down naturally eventually, and it doesn’t harm wildlife or biodiversity during this process.
Caring & Maintaining Your Child’s Divan Bed
It’s easy to maintain your children’s wooden divan bed. Simply vacuuming it regularly with an upholstery attachment can get rid of any dust, hairs and debris that can accumulate over time. Dusting inside the drawers is a great way to ensure that your child’s belongings are kept well protected, whilst also maintaining the bed frame.
If you would like to protect the flooring of your child’s bedroom, you could potentially use some grip pads to ensure that your floor doesn’t get scratched.
For mattress care, regularly rotating your child’s mattress every 3 months or so is a great way to ensure that the weight is evenly distributed across it, preventing any sagging and dips that can occur over time. Younger children can also really benefit from a waterproof mattress topper, in case there are any spillages or accidents.
Due to the fact these bed frames are made from wood, too much sun exposure can eventually fade the colours and warp the materials. It’s not too much of an issue in the UK as we spend a lot of our winter season in the dark, but if you would like to take the extra step to protect your Divan Bed’s wooden structure, investing in some UV film for windows could be a great way to help out with this.
