Toddler Bed or Junior Bed? How to Choose the Right Fit for Your Child

Outgrowing the crib is a big step – for your child and for you. But what comes next? A cozy toddler bed or a full-sized junior bed? At Petit Puk, we hear this question all the time. And honestly? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on your child, your space, and your plans for the future.

What is a toddler bed?

A toddler bed measures 70×140 cm and is designed especially for little ones transitioning out of a crib. With its low height and optional safety rail, it gives your child a sense of independence while still feeling safe and snug. It’s ideal from around 18 months up to age 4 or 5.

At Petit Puk, we craft toddler beds that are both beautiful and built to last – no frills, just timeless design that fits right into your home.

What is a junior bed?

A junior bed from Petit Puk is a full-size single bed (90×200 cm), perfect from around 4.5 years old. It’s big enough for growing bodies, wild dreams, and even sleepovers – and it will last well into the teen years.

If you’d rather skip the in-between stage, a junior bed is a practical and future-proof choice. Add a removable side rail if your child still needs a little extra comfort in the beginning.

What’s right for your family?

Choosing between a toddler bed and a junior bed depends on:

  • Your child’s age and sleep style

  • How much space you have

  • How long you want the bed to last

Some children feel more secure in a smaller bed, while others are ready for something “big.” Petit Puk offers both – always with thoughtful details and a whole lot of style.
