Everything you need to know about the IKEA KURA bed
The IKEA KURA bed is a real all-rounder in the children's room – convertible, space-saving and ideal for creative IKEA hacks. Whether as a floor bed for the little ones or as a bunk bed for schoolchildren: the KURA grows with your child and offers endless design possibilities. No wonder it is one of the most popular children's beds at IKEA and one of our favourites at Limmaland.
- From what age is the IKEA KURA suitable?Â
The IKEA KURA cot is suitable for children from around 2 years of age – you can then assemble it in the low floor version. Here, your child can sleep safely at mattress height, and there is even room for you to read or cuddle. As soon as your child is older and wants a bunk bed, you can easily convert the IKEA KURA cot into a bunk bed.Â
- When can my child start sleeping in the KURA loft bed?
According to IKEA, the bunk bed is recommended for children aged 6 and above. It has a sturdy railing that protects against falling out. For additional safety, you can also retrofit a fall-out protection. Practical: the IKEA KURA is lower than other bunk beds and therefore safer. The low height also makes it easier for parents to say good night. We'll tell you when your child is ready to sleep in their own bed and how best to make the transition.
- How sturdy is the IKEA KURA bed?
The maximum load capacity of the KURA loft bed is 100 kg – that's enough for your child and even for you when reading or cuddling together. It is important to use a suitable mattress with the recommended height so that the fall protection at the top is maintained.
- Which mattress fits the IKEA KURA?
The IKEA KURA bed is designed for mattresses measuring 90 x 200 cm. When using it in the bunk bed, make sure that the mattress is no higher than 12 cm so that the fall protection remains effective.
