Have you decided to redecorate your child's room and are looking for a 4-year-old child bed? Chambrekids offers many different formats to provide your child with comfortable sleeping arrangements adapted to their age. Here is our entire selection of 4-year-old child beds, as well as our tips for making bedtime more peaceful.

Which bed for a 4-year-old child?

When we talk about a 4-year-old child bed, we are referring to a bed suitable for a 4-year-old child. Therefore, it is a child bed 90x140 cm or a child bed 90x190 cm. Indeed, the crib has not been suitable for a long time at this age. However, the child bed can take various forms depending on the model chosen:

  • The simple 4-year-old child bed with a bed frame, bed base and why not a headboard.
  • The floor bed for children whose bed base and mattress are as close to the floor as possible to facilitate getting up and going to bed for little ones (we also often speak of Montessori bed).
  • The trundle bed which has a second sleeping space in a bed drawer to invite a friend or cousin to sleep over, for example.
  • The cabin bed with its house-style structure to choose playful and fun furniture.
  • The child bed with storage which saves space in the room with storage around, but also under the sleeping area.

Whether opting for a girl's child bed or a boy's child bed, there are therefore several forms of 4-year-old child beds. Preferably choose a 4-year-old child bed in solid wood or with ecological reconstituted wood panels with low formaldehyde content. Prefer made in France construction with solvent-free paints and varnishes.

How to equip a 4-year-old child bed?

Once you have chosen your 4-year-old child bed, all you need to do is complete it with:

  • A mattress: preferably a model dedicated to children's sleep with a cover in natural textile such as cotton or bamboo for example.
  • A duvet: with a 4-season model, you opt for a duvet that can be used all year round.
  • A pillow: preferably not too thick to preserve the alignment of the head with the spine.
  • Bed linen : if possible also in natural material with cotton or linen for example.

Which bed according to age?

While the ideal dimensions for a 4-year-old child bed are 90x140 cm or 90x190 cm, the bed format changes with age. Indeed, it is the bassinet or co-sleeper that is preferred from 0 to 6 months of age. Then comes the time for the crib which goes from 6 months to around 2 years old. When the child is ready to move into a big kid bed, they can therefore opt for a 90x140 cm or 90x190 cm child bed. After 6 years, a 90x190 child bed minimum should be installed.

How to get a 4-year-old child to sleep in their bed?

For a 4-year-old child to sleep in their bed, it is recommended to establish a bedtime ritual. This can start with stopping screens in the evening to favor quiet playtime. Then comes the time to read a story while settling comfortably in bed. The parent can then have reassuring words for their child and why not use a night light or even the hallway light for example.

It is important that this ritual is repeated every evening to help the child calm down and then fall asleep. You can establish this type of ritual with your child from a very young age to anchor good habits.

If your child has difficulty sleeping in their bed, you will need to try to identify the cause of this behavior to find a lasting solution.

What bedtime at 4 years old?

Generally, it is recommended to put a 4-year-old child to bed between 7:30 PM and 8:00 PM. However, this depends primarily on wake-up time so that the child gets enough hours of sleep over 24 hours, including naps. If in doubt, you can ask for advice from a pediatrician, general practitioner, pediatric nurse, or sleep consultant.
