- If you are looking into buying or making a Montessori floor bed, making just a simple DIY toddler bed, or a diy wood bed frame - I got you covered! The Tools You Need ▷ kit.com/Ariann...
Wood Needs ▽
All 3/4" thick boards
(1) 11.25" board cut at 52" long (back board)
(2) 2.5" board cut at 52" (front and top board)
(2) 11.25" boards cut at 27.5" long (side boards)
(4) 2.5" boards cut at 38 5/8" (If someone cuts for you, have them do 40 inches and make the cut yourself. you want to insure accuracy because these are the angle pieces and there isn't much give to make them line up correctly!)
(1) Pack of 1/4” wide by 1” long wood dowels (ours we’re located in the same aisle as the premium pine at our Lowe’s)
Angle Cuts : Inside angles should be 22.5" on one end and 67.5" on the opposite end.
*Feel free to add a few 52” long free floating boards underneath the mattress. Preferably 1/2” thick, 4” wide boards. 4-5 of them! This will allow for air flow to prevent mold. It doesn’t have to be the same wood, you could use cheap plywood and cut it down to size if you’d like. Your other option is lifting your mattress ever week for a few hours or flipping the mattress weekly if it’s reversible.
About Floor Beds : This woman doesn’t follow typical Montessori with putting kids straight into floor beds, but she is great at explaining the benefits. We followed the toddler age she talks about with our older girls, as they transitioned to a floor bed at 17 months and 18 months! www.babysleeps...

By far the simplest version of this I have seen. Looks good.
I love it! I love that you included the bumps in the road also! Great job!
I love the fact that you guys pre drilled holes when on the screw box it says "no pre drilling" 😂😂😂❤️
Oh don’t trust that lol. They are deck screws. This wood is much thinner than what you would use for making a deck. I had part of the wood split at one part even WITH predrilling.
love it!!! defiantly going to try this with my little one. thank you so much for sharing
You’re very welcome 🙂
I love it it’s cheap and it’s easy and..... it’s safe.
Do you have any videos talking about how this worked out for you verses the cribs?
I was going to ask the same thing! I'm considering skipping a crib too and would love to know how it worked for you/any tips! Thanks 😁
Looks so great! I want to make a single bed size version for coco
I debated just making a twin straight away! But it would have been more time consuming and her room is a bit small for it. It would be easy enough to change out the dimensions though!
Can you give me some ideas ?
My kids are 6 and 2 and both in floor beds. Love them. Hoping to convert our king bed to a floor bed too!
Why is 6 year old child still useing floor bed? When you're 6 you can easily go in and out of normal bed. I'm not hating, just curious, cos I have no knowledge of this stuff ;)
@@annachomiczka4961 It's a great place. Extension of the floor too for playing. We've just changed our king bed to a floor bed and it's the best decision we ever made.
Is this for a crib size mattress?
So good to see you guys !! I wish I could get my stuff as organized as you. 😢 y'all are awesome !!
Hi great video!!! Definitely going to be trying this out my only question is what size mattress is this for ?
It is for a crib size mattress!
Great entertainment you guys always do so good videos you guys are so organized I don't know how you do it love ya❤
Which hard wood is better to use? I know the math would be easy, but can you share measurements, etc. for a twin?
i want to make a chicken coop with this frame
I have a questions were doing a almost similar bed for my daughter how did you get the measurements for your triangle? my bed is 40 inch long cant seem to get the top points to match its so frustrating and my home depot does not cut angles.? Any help or formula i cant input
It took us a long time to figure out the angles, I honestly don’t remember how we did anymore! But I just did a quick search and saw what looked like a lot of helpful videos on TH-cam on how to calculate wood angles. I wish we had thought to search TH-cam for help when we were doing ours 😂
If you wanted to paint it (I want white) do you just buy the non toxic kid safe paint? Just paint it right onto the wood? Do I have to put a seal paint on it after?
You should probably sand it a bit more if you plan to paint. Then use a toxic low to preferably no VOC paint. Then you would seal it 🙂
Can you do a video on how you transitioned into this bed from a crib? I’m considering making one for my 1 year old. Also, what is the purpose of the triangle parts on the top? Is that just cosmetic or is it Montessori related? Looks great!
Like I mentioned, we went straight to a floor bed! So no transitioning. She was in a co-sleeper in our room before this bed 🙂 the triangle is just aesthetic! But they can put play silks over it to make a tent when they’re bigger. My older girls have already done this with it haha.
As for the transition, i just laid her down and nursed side lying till she fell asleep at first. Then when she stopped nursing to sleep I would nurse as usual laying down and put my hand on her chest till she fell asleep. And then I started leaving the room after nursing her and letting her really choose whether she wanted to play or go to sleep! She chooses sleep 90% of the time. They may choose play and at first that may mean they decide to fall asleep on the floor once they’re tired. But eventually they understand and climb into their bed when they’re ready to sleep 🙂 it’s all about letting them learn sleep regulation and how to read their own body cues!
Arianna. Yes that’s what I was meaning for “transition” so thank you for explaining that! I don’t know if my girl is ready to stop nursing to sleep yet lol! You are such an inspiration to me!
I plan on building the bed exactly the same way you are doing it and I am wondering if the measurements for the side boards are correct. I think that if I cut the side boards at 27.5", the inside width of the bed will be 27.5" minus 3/4" x 2 (for each of the front and back board thickness) = 26". If my mattress is 27.5" wide, will it fit in the bed?
I think I should rather have the side boards cut at 29" so the inside of the bed can be 27.5" wide. What do you think?
The mattress used is 27.25 deep. And I cut the sides at 27.5. Her mattress is memory foam through so it has some leeway to it. I would suggest the opening be a least 1/4” smaller than the mattress though for safety reasons. You don’t want any potential gapping at all!
Where did you get the bumper pillow this?
VigKids on Etsy :)
What size mattress fits?
Cool.....love it
Are the demintions for a standard crib matress
I did it to our crib mattress whcih is about standard. I don’t know exact standards though so I didn’t compare. But I have used that mattress in a normal crib before and it fits! So I assume it’s a standard crib mattress.
Ok thank you
Anyone know what dimensions i would need for this to be a queen sized bed?
Nice
Where did you get the bumper for the bed? did you make it? im sorry if i missed that in the video somewhere, i love the idea of having one
It should be linked in the description box! It’s from an Etsy shop!
@@ariannapflederer im actually not seeing the link. the first link in the description just takes me to an error page, could that be it?
Love it.
do you know what the sizes would be for a twin bed?
Not the angled pieces no. But you can do the frame easily if you have the dimensions of your mattress. I just account for making the opening 1/4” shorter so it fits snugly.
How much was it to make
About $100! You can buy cheaper wood to save money, but you’ll spend a lot more time sanding!
Just screw it and glue it. LOL
How much would you say it cost to make this? And what would did you use? I want to make it for my daughter for Christmas but I can’t spend much on it!
$100 I believe. We mentioned in the video the wood type, and it might be in the description box. But we got premium pine! 🙂
Why didn’t you just have her use the bed the other two girls used?
We wanted something different and it was big and had wasted space since we never used the storage compartments! They were just empty. We sold it though and made what we needed to build this one 🙂 besides building things is fun!
Why do u need the angled pieces?
Its part of the design. If you want just the simple base...you can do that! Lol. But this is showing the design of the bed we made 😉
Sarah because it is pretty and also as the baby gets older they can hang play silks or fairy lights on it.
