When kids sleep soundly, parents rest easier too.
If there’s one piece of furniture that can make or break that equation, it’s a bed. Parents know the dilemma all too well; transitioning a crib-dweller into their very first big kid bed can be a humbling and exhausting experience, to say the least.
Finding a solid, safe, and dreamy design makes all the difference, and Max & Lily’s latest collection might just have the missing piece we’ve been longing for. The trusted children’s furniture brand has just released a whimsical set of Montessori floor beds built to ease the transition for toddlers.
These distinctive styles, designed to be just two inches off the ground, help children get in and out of bed safely. For kids who are a bit anxious about dozing off above ground, an add-on guardrail can be attached for extra reassurance at night.
Max & Lily’s sleek silhouettes are free of visible hardware and constructed with solid pine wood and non-toxic materials. They’re also sturdy and built to last, with softer edges that reduce scrapes and scratches, providing additional peace of mind.
Plus, with an impressive weight capacity of 400 pounds, parents can easily slide beside little ones for a bedtime story or morning snuggle. These beds aren’t just practical; they inspire independence and imagination, so bedtime is a little less stressful, and a bit more magical.
Of course, aesthetics matter, too, and Max & Lily did not miss a detail. There are three modern yet charming designs to choose from: a Mid-century Modern Twin Floor Bed, a Classic Twin Floor Bed, and a playful Twin House Bed for kids who want to cuddle up in their own castle.
The collection comes in five different finishes, including a neutral blonde, bright white, and pecan, plus some two-toned finishes that fit seamlessly with a range of interior styles.
Max & Lily’s extensive catalog of children’s furniture makes it simple to mix and match pieces to complete the room — whether you’re searching for a timeless bookcase to display your child’s treasures or a durable dresser to keep their wardrobe organized. There are dozens of storage solutions for space-saving needs, too.
The Danish designs and meticulous German engineering aren’t all Max & Lily has to offer. The company also provides fast, direct shipping, easy assembly, and a one-year warranty, so you can experience the quality risk-free.
Take it from a sleep-deprived mom like me. Parents looking to create a nurturing, imaginative atmosphere for their kids to achieve better sleep will be completely smitten with Max & Lily’s magnificent Montessori designs.
The Classic Twin Floor Bed, described by the brand as “small in height but big in fun,” offers an ideal foundation for kids ready to make the transition from a crib. The ultra-low height makes it easy to climb in and out, and the clean, low-VOC finish provides a healthy space for rest. A simple slanted frame adds charm to the classic design.
Kids seeking a little abode of their own are sure to find delight (and rest) in Max & Lily’s Twin House Bed. Taking inspiration from a real-life home, this overhead triangular design adds a sense of comfort and protection, while also providing the perfect structure to drape curtains for privacy.
For a more contemporary touch, the Mid-Century Modern Twist Floor Bed balances a sleek silhouette free of hardware with a solid pine wood, and white melamine finish that offers a crisp, clean look — even when the rest of the room is turned upside down. The solid, curved headboard also keeps pillows, and everything else right in place.
