The Perfect Beds for our Kids
I had taken quite a while doing research on the available toddler beds out there. I wanted something that my 19 month-old toddler could transition into from his crib. He shares a bedroom with his 3 year old brother and I didn’t feel like a bunk bed was safe for them just yet. My sons move a lot when they sleep so I knew I needed to buy something low to the ground. My 3 year old had a queen size low-profile wooden bed and we were always hitting it with our toes and feet that we were ready for something soft and upholstered. We decided to buy 2 little lifely twin xl beds and mattresses so that they could each have their own bed. We are from the US and purchased the beds on April 21 and their website did say that it was on back order set to arrive in June. Well we received them on May 8 and were very happy to have gotten them early because our youngest was ready for his big boy bed! I opened the beds and waited 48 hours for them to completely regain their shape. I also washed the covers before putting them on the cushions. It wasn’t hard to zip them up at all. I mean it was a tight fit, but you really want them to be tight to the cushion. I’m glad that we purchased the mattresses through lifely as well because they fit perfectly in there and the height of the mattress is perfect and gives my sons a little wall to protect them from falling out of the bed. We’ve co-slept with my kids a few times and the mattresses are firm but comfortable. The beds are very sturdy and our kids love to jump all over the beds. It makes me feel so much better knowing that there aren’t any hard parts to the beds so they can’t get hurt. We pushed the beds together so it almost feels like one big bed. We turn the beds on their sides every 2-3 days just to air them out and to prevent mold. The beds feel a little heavy, but I am able to turn them on their sides by myself without the help of my husband. We’re definitely looking forward to getting the plastic inserts for under the bed when lifely makes them available. I had a vision for my kids room and honestly these beds were just perfect for what we wanted both functionally and aesthetically. I did freak out for a bit after buying them because I read so many bad reviews about scams, but I am here to tell everyone that these beds are so worth the wait and honestly you cannot beat the price either unless you really don’t care about the type of bed you’re buying. I researched so many beds and these were everything we needed and more!

Wow! Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. It was also wonderful to read how much thought you've put into setting up the space. From washing the covers and allowing the cushions to expand, to creating a shared sleep environment by positioning the beds together. Hearing that the beds feel sturdy, comfortable, and safe enough for everyday toddler adventures is exactly what we hoped to achieve when designing them. Thank you as well for sharing your experience regarding the concerns you had after reading some online reviews. We know purchasing furniture online requires trust, especially when it's for your children, and we're honoured that we were able to deliver an experience that met your expectations.
