    Looking for recommendations for a toddler bed for our two year old. I've seen them in peoples houses but can't find them online, looking for the whole thing so base and mattress, they are small and low to the ground. Dont mind the self assembly.

    We've have two of the pink extendable ones for three years so far and all good. They do the mattress in 3 parts so bed gets longer as the kids do

    A lot of the ones you’ve seen in people’s houses are probably cot beds, as opposed to toddler beds, so they’ve had them since the start. Toddler beds are the same size, so anywhere that sells baby stuff will have the mattress!
    If you’d buy a second hand cot, you can often pick up a bargain on adverts or done deal, and then just get a new mattress

    We also have the extendable one from Ikea - our cot did convert to a cot bed but we needed a bit more space for our daughter as she insisted on taking a library’s worth of books to bed each night! It’s been great and has a slightly raised side

    Got the Ikea Kritter children's bed and a matching materess. Young one loved it and is sleeping better since.
    Also got under bed storages boxes, even with delivery was reasonable.

    How does an extendable mattress work

    I’d save your money and just get a single bed and a safety rail, my lo loves his big boy bed and has been sleeping in it since he was 18 months, he did have a cot that turned into a toddler bed but he refused to use it! Also means you don’t have to buy another bed until they are heading towards teenager years!!:D

    I agree. Toddler beds are an awful waste of money and resources.

    I'd also agree. Just get a single bed.
    If you have a toddler bed you need toddler bed linens.

    Then you'd have to start all over again when they outgrow the toddler bed.
