What Is EN747 Bunk Bed Safety Standard?
EN747 is the European safety standard covering bunk beds, setting requirements for guard rail height, gaps that could trap a child, ladder stability and structural strength. Compliant bunk beds are generally recommended only for children aged 6 and over, reflecting the standard's focus on fall and entrapment risks rather than just weight capacity.
Toddler Bed or Single Bed — What Age Is Each Suitable For?
Toddler beds are lower to the ground with a smaller mattress and often integrated guard rails, generally suiting children from around 18 months to 3-4 years as a step down from a cot. A full single bed suits most children from around age 4-6 onwards, once they're tall enough and settled enough not to need the smaller, more contained toddler size — though every child's readiness varies.
