Passionate companies often begin their journey in a garage. This is also where Peter Orinsky developed and built the very first children’s loft bed for his son Felix 33 years ago. It was very important for him to only use natural materials, provide strong safety features, clean workmanship as well as a high degree of flexibility to ensure long-term use. The sophisticated modular system has been so well received over the years that the successful family business Billi-Bolli emerged – complete with master craftsmen working in our very own Workshop in the east of Munich. By communicating closely with customers Billi-Bolli keeps refining and enhancing their children’s furniture range constantly. After all, satisfied parents and happy children are our greatest motivation. More about us…
In addition to high beds, we also manufacture low single beds and double beds in our master workshop.■ Various mattress sizes (also 140x200 cm)■ Pine & beech quality with a 7-year guarantee■ Can be converted into a loft bed or bunk bed
Used as a bed for adolescents, students, as a guest bed or sofa bed, our low youth bed with the typical Billi-Bolli look fits perfectly into even the smallest room. During the day it is a cosy chill out area, ideal for reading and studying. At night it offers you the perfect place for dreaming as well as sleeping.
The mattress base of this bed is just above the floor. It is protected against rolling out all the way round. This means that the floor bed is also suitable for small children. Thanks to our modular system, it can later be extended into a loft bed or bunk bed with a conversion set.
As with all our beds, we also use pollutant-free, natural solid wood from sustainable forestry for our baby bed. This guarantees durability and high stability. With an extension set, the cot can later be converted into a loft bed or bunk bed.
The double bed for couples and parents impresses with its clear, functional design and stability. This means it can also withstand Sunday overcrowding as a family bed with flying colours. Available in solid beech for various mattress sizes (e.g. also 200x200 or 200x220 cm).
The sloping roof bed combines a low bed with a play tower. It is therefore suitable for children's rooms with a sloping roof, under which a loft bed or bunk bed would not fit, and therefore also provides play and climbing fun in small children's rooms. For children from approx. 5 years.
The four-poster bed is a low bed for children, teenagers or adults. The four high vertical beams at the corners are connected by cross beams. Curtain rails are attached to these for all four sides, which you can decorate with curtains to suit your taste.
A loft bed in the "low beds" category? Yes, because our loft bed grows with the child and can initially be set up very low. This makes it suitable for babies and toddlers. It transforms from a baby cot in 6 different heights to a youth loft bed.
Our modular system makes it possible to convert any of our bed models into one of the others with additional parts. With the appropriate conversion sets, for example, a floor bed can later be transformed into a low youth bed, or a four-poster bed into a fully-fledged loft bed.
You will find low beds for babies, toddlers, adolescents and adults in this category. Below you will find useful information about these beds.
Beds for toddlers have to meet the special needs of young human beings. Stability and safety are indispensable, while sharp edges and unclean workmanship are taboo. Beds equipped with baby gates prevent the little ones from exploring at night. Our high-quality baby cots, which are manufactured by master craftsmen in our Workshop in Pastetten near Munich, exceed the European standards for baby cribs – little ones sleep safely and well-protected in our models. The solid wood we use is from sustainable forestry. It is free of pollutants and all wooden parts are perfectly rounded and smooth.
During the first years of life, your offspring will discover the world with curiosity and bright-eyed. Hence it is all the more important that your darling can rest and sleep safely. Beds for toddlers should therefore fulfil certain criteria. Our checklist will tell you exactly what to look for – so you, the parents, can also sleep peacefully:
safe and sturdy construction
toxin-free, natural materials and clean processing
for painted surfaces: paints are saliva-resistant and harmless to health
baby-friendly bed sizes
baby gates to prevent your little explorer from nighttime discovery tours
hard-wearing surfaces
washable cushioning and mattress
height adjustable sleeping area
Tip: A sleeping area adjustable in height is especially recommended for newborns. This makes nursing, changing nappies and cuddling not only stress-free but also back-friendly for parents.
Paying attention to safety and quality is particularly important when it comes to beds for young children. So the bed should have no edges or cross-beams, which your child could climb up. If the bed is equipped with castors, make sure that they can be locked to prevent wheels from spinning or rolling. In addition to safety, particular attention should also be paid to the quality of the material and its processing.
We manufacture beds for toddlers and other kids’ furniture since 1991. In our Workshop close to Munich, our master craftsmen ensure the highest quality standards – every bed is made with love so that your loved one will be safe. We work exclusively with solid wood from sustainable forestry, mainly pine and beech. Both wood types have been used in the production of beds for generations and they stood the test of time. As a result, we manufacture sturdy and perfectly clean beds for toddlers, expressing our decades of experience. The wood we use is free of harmful substances and all the finishes are saliva-proof as well. With a Billi-Bolli baby cot you can rely on durable and sustainably produced quality. This is also reflected in the resale value: If you intend to sell your bed later, you can post your Billi-Bolli kids’ bed in our second-hand section for free.
At Billi-Bolli we offer three core bed models that are particularly well-suited for toddlers and babies: the bedside crib, the baby cot and our loft bed that grows with your child. Depending on the age and needs of your little one, we recommend a different core model. The bedside crib is the right choice for newborns, up to approx. nine months. It is a co-sleeper that can be placed right next to the mother’s bed. As soon as your child begins to crawl and discover the world, you can switch to the baby crib equipped with baby gates. Since children grow very quickly, we decided to make our beds for toddlers flexible: the beds for babies can be expanded into beds for children and teenagers, and our loft bed actually grows with them. This way you will own an ecologically and economically sustainable product – one your children will enjoy for many years to come.
After selecting the bed of your choice, you are now faced with the question: Where is the best place for my baby’s crib? The optimal position also depends on the characteristics of the available space, of course. In the first months of life, the bedside crib should be in the parents’ bedroom. This is not only more convenient for nursing mamas, the parents’ breathing noises also help regulate the breathing of the newborn. The recommended room temperature is between 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. Please also make sure that no shelves or wardrobes are mounted above the bed.
If your child sleeps in their own kids’ room, you should also ensure that there is good ventilation and temperature. It is also important to firmly and steadily position the headboard of the toddler’s bed against a wall of the bedroom. You need to make sure that there are no lamps, electrical wires or sockets within reach of the little ones, of course. Place the bed in an area where there is enough distance to all radiators and windows. This will prevent your baby from being affected by dry air or direct sunlight.
Are you looking for the optimal baby crib for your precious little darling? At Billi-Bolli you will find ecologically sustainable high-quality products manufactured by master craftsmen in a German workshop. The following tips will help you select the right beds for toddlers:
Verify the quality of the bed construction and look for high-quality materials.
All processed materials and colours must be harmless to health and toxin-free.
Make sure that all the bedding is baby-friendly, such as a high-quality mattress.
High-quality and sustainable products also have a high resale value.
When the child gets older and the kid’s room changes into a room fit for a teenager, a youth bed usually replaces a kid’s bed. Some children do not want to continue sleeping on a higher level as they prefer a lower sleeping area. Again others would like to continue sleeping in their loft bed, but with fewer play features. Our Loft Bed Adjustable by Age and all our other kids’ beds can be easily transformed into a youth bed with conversion sets and are, therefore, the perfect fit: move the sleeping level either lower or even further up to create even more space below the bed. The theme boards are removed and the fall guard lowered.
Maybe you just found out about us and are contemplating to start directly with a youth bed? This is a sensible option as the bed can subsequently be transformed into a true loft bed with a high fall guard with our conversion sets, ideal for smaller children. On this page, you are bound to find the right youth bed for you.
We would recommend a mattress size of 140x200 for a youth bed, then two can sleep in it later. A white finish has been very popular in recent years and we are happy to accommodate you.
All low beds from Billi-Bolli on this page have in common that the sleeping level is at normal bed height or lower (or can be built up). This makes them ideal for families in which the children should not or not yet sleep in a high bed.
The following comparison table will help you decide which bed is right for you or your children:
