Dd has one. Far better than the one ds has from Argos (we were short on short bed options there). It's a lot more customisable to the room too. She loves it. The ladder worries me, but she's never had a problem.

It's a quality bed but...

  1. Changing sheets will be a bastard. Can he help?
  2. Dealing with sick. Chikd... Ditto
  3. You'll need to stand on the chair just to say goodnight.

But

I have to say it feels like a huge cot and is so comfy that I forgive all of the above.

Thanks both. @PearlsBeforeWine excellent point about the chaos that could ensue with a vom from height! That might be enough to put me off. Think I need a trip to Ikea to punt DS in one and see what he thinks.

They're really high up. Like really high. I bought my next child a medium sleeper which is pretty good, I can stand and read him a story and tuck him in properly, it's much easier.... And only gbp100

DD loves hers and it looks great in her room, but if I could go back I wouldn't get it again. Nightmare to put together and changing the fitted sheet is a right PITA. Also, I miss being able to sit up next to her in her bed and read together.
