Freedom for Little Sleepers Starts Here
Introducing Sleepy Monkey's handcrafted Montessori floor beds, meticulously built with sustainably-sourced Australian hoop pine and proudly certified Australian-made. Designed to foster independence and safety, each bed sits low to the ground surrounded by rails 50 cm tall, encouraging effortless access for little ones while ensuring a secure environment. The natural beauty of untreated Australian hoop pine adds a touch of warmth to any bedroom, complementing modern and traditional decor.
Unlike a simple mattress on the floor, this bed features a slightly elevated design to keep away dampness and mildew, ensuring a clean and safe sleeping environment.
Embracing the Beauty of Handmade, Natural Wood Products
Sleepy Monkey beds are handmade from natural hoop pine wood. So, small imperfections in grain, color, and texture add to the uniqueness of your product. The beds are made with hoop pine which is a hardwood native to Australia, traditionally used in furniture making for its durability, strength and quality. Sleepy Monkey chooses to leave the wood untreated to allow parents the choice to leave as is and enjoy the natural grace of the wood without exposing your kids to chemicals or to choose to add the wax, stain or treatment you are comfortable with. The wood carefully goes through the process of dressing which smooths the surface to ensure the wood is safe and comfortable for little ones.
Terms and Conditions
Sleepy Monkey does not issue refunds for change of mind. They encourage you to carefully consider your purchase and contact them with any questions before placing your order. See their full Terms and Conditions.
Design & Assembly
The bed’s structure is thoughtfully engineered to be sturdy yet inviting. Its low profile ensures safety, minimizing the risk of falls, while the open sides encourage independence, allowing children to get in and out with ease. This design promotes a sense of autonomy and confidence in young sleepers, important components of Montessori teaching.
Designed with minimal assembly in mind, only 8 screws are required for the frame. To secure the floor slats, use a screw driver or a drill and simply roll them out before securing with the screws provided.
Size & Dimensions
The sides are 50 cm high across all sizes. The dimensions for the bed frames once assembled are:
Single: 196.5 cm (L) x 96 cm (W)
King Single: 213 cm (L) x 114 cm (W)
Double: 196.5 cm (L) x 146.5 cm (W)
Queen: 213 cm (L) x 163.5 cm (W)
All floor bed sizes fit standard Australian mattress sizes.
Rails are 50 cm high. Sleepy Monkey recommends using a mattress no higher than 25 cm. Ideally closer to 20 cm.
There is a gap of around 2 cm to allow for blankets or doonas being tucked in when your kiddo is ready. This is also to allow for easier access when changing the sheets.
Safety & Best Use
Safety and comfort are paramount with the Montessori floor bed, especially for the little explorers. It is recommended for munchkins 18 months and over. Sleepy Monkey beds are not cots – they are not designed to keep kids inside like a cot would. The sides are designed to keep the kids from rolling off the bed. Special attention is required in younger kids to prevent toppling over the sides.
Quick tips for a safe, snooze-friendly room:
Follow all Red Nose Safe Sleeping recommendations.
Anchor all furniture to avoid wobbles.
Keep engaging toys out of reach at bedtime.
Choose short curtains or secure curtain/blind cords for safety.
Child-proof thoroughly, covering outlets and securing the door.
Consider a video baby monitor for peace of mind.
Creating a safe haven with the floor bed is all about embracing minimalism, allowing the room to become a quiet, relaxing space and a few thoughtful precautions, ensuring sweet dreams and safe adventures for your little one.
Mattress & Care Instructions
Please note that this Montessori floor bed does not include a mattress. You are able to use regular single, king single, double, or queen size mattress and Sleepy Monkey recommends a maximum height of 20-25 cm. Please consider the sides are 50 cm high.
Even though the slats provide airflow, by following these care tips, you can keep your Sleepy Monkey floor bed in excellent condition, preventing mould under your mattress and providing a safe and cozy sleeping space for your child.
Regular Airing: Lift the mattress against a wall and air it out once a week to allow any trapped moisture to evaporate. You can do it when you change the sheets.
Cleanliness: Keep the area under the bed clean and use a mattress protector to prevent spills and stains from seeping into the mattress.
Humidity Control: Ensure proper ventilation in the room by opening windows or using a fan or dehumidifier if you live in a more humid climate.
Dry Environment: Avoid placing the bed directly on damp floors or against damp walls. In case of spills, clean and dry the affected area immediately.
Slat Maintenance: Ensure the slats are spaced evenly to promote air circulation under the mattress.
