Captains Beds

Kid's Storage Beds

What are captain's beds?

Captain’s beds, sometimes called cabin beds, have a slightly elevated design with storage space neatly tucked underneath. They’re great for small spaces and inspired by captain’s quarters on ships where space is limited, and traditional single beds would otherwise be impractical.

What size is a captain's bed?

Captain’s beds come in different sizes from cots to single beds, and doubles to kings. The size you choose comes down to how old your child is, how tall they are, and the size of their room.

Shorty beds Best for small children around age four
Small single beds Helps your child transition from a regular bed
Single continental beds: A little longer, and a little more narrow than a single bed
Single beds Standard bed size, ideal for any room size
Double beds Great for older kids who need a little extra space to stretch out

Why buy captain’s beds?

Captain’s beds are the ultimate choice if you want to be space-savvy. They’re perfect for small spaces, large rooms, and everything in between — always allowing for maximum storage that’s neatly tucked away. Plus, captain’s beds have tons of other helpful features including:

Contemporary design
Durable materials
Wide range of colours and styles

Not to mention, captain’s beds are great for girls and boys of all ages. They easily transition from childhood to teenage years with a simple comforter swap.

Single captain’s beds

Single captain’s beds have small footprints, making them perfect for spaces of any size — big or small. This gives your little one even more room to play, study, and relax.

Plus, our single captains beds have plenty of hidden storage underneath — ideal for trundle beds, extra linens, storage bins, and more.

Did you know mattress shields protect more than just the mattress? Things like microorganisms, dirt, and organic material can build up in your child’s mattress over time, which can contribute to health conditions like asthma and eczema. Do more for your child’s health and invest in a mattress protector at a discount upon checkout.
