Gone are the days when buying a Star War’s bedspread for your children’s beds and tacking up a few posters on your little darlings’ bedroom walls would transform an ordinary room into a themed bedroom. Nowadays, the children’s theme bed options are endless, promising every child an escape into their very own fantasy world every time they go to bed. There are children wooden ship beds and two-storey pink princess castles available, as well as an endless variety of car theme beds. Parents can even opt to buy a themed double bed to really spoil their child.
The Princess and the Pea
This children’s loft bed is hidden by a linen drape in the form of a pink princess palace. The ground floor offers a place for little girls to play house and when they’re tired all they have to do is climb up their little ladder and
they’re ready for bed. The bed can also be used as a Barbie mansion and a place for a teddy bear tea party. Your little girl can play Juliette or Repunsel at her cut-out windows, although she may have a nightmare or two about dragons. The bed is perfect for independent little princesses but perhaps lacks a few elements of a classic children’s bed, like having a place for parents to lie and read bedtime stories to their little adventurer.
Peter Pan and Captain Hook
The children’s pirate ship gives a new meaning to the term cabin beds and 
transforms well into a play centre as it consist of intricate detail, moving parts and secret storage compartments to stash toys away. The single wooden bed offers a platform for a number of imaginative children’s games and activities. However, you may struggle to encourage your child to switch from ‘play mode’ into ‘sleep mode’ when tucking him into bed and don’t be surprised if he starts referring to you as ‘matey’ instead of dad. The private bed comes with a lofty price tag of £2500 (preferably paid in gold coins).
Cars
Forget railway and digger truck beds; what children want these days are 
sleek and shiny sports cars. And the Ferrari bed is just that with an extra touch of comfort. You can even opt for a personalised number plate to engrave you child’s name on this beauty. The rear spoiler acts as a headboard and shelf for the miniature collection of cars. You’ll have a hard time encouraging the kids to not jump around on this mattress. Just hope that your child doesn’t develop a taste for the real thing near his or her 18th birthday.
The only danger of these themed beds it that kids, who are occasionally quite fickle, will grow tired of them quickly and as they reach the age of ten, they will want a more ‘mature’ and classic bed, such as a classy French bed, to see them into their adolescence. You can still buy unique children’s beds that suit your child’s personality but are also inexpensive and timeless.
