We got Lachie a king single that has the other pull out bed underneath that can make it into a double, and we love it, the couple of times he has fallen out we has just landed on the bottom mattress that we just have pulled out a bit. When he was sick last week DH just slept beside him and they both slept well.]]> Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:03:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27452&PID=723330&title=single-v-king-single-bed#723330 <![CDATA[Single v King Single Bed : We originally got MA a single...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27452&PID=722117&title=single-v-king-single-bed#722117 Author: .Mel

We originally got MA a single bed... after a year we sold it and got her a King Single. We've just started thinking about getting a bed for DB and we'll be getting a King Single..

The Living Edge in Balmoral have King Singles for a reasonable price... they are always having a sale so I'd check there too, I think we paid $350-$400 for MA's bed.]]> Tue, 14 Jul 2009 09:30:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27452&PID=722117&title=single-v-king-single-bed#722117 <![CDATA[Single v King Single Bed : Paris had our old double bed that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27452&PID=722049&title=single-v-king-single-bed#722049 Author: mum2paris

Paris had our old double bed that she moved into when she was 11mths old, and that was great - hardly ever had to worry about her falling out at all.

Only prob we have now is that alot of kids duvets aren't really available in double size... the options are fairly limited.

Ayja on the other hand - we got her a single bed and she falls out alot, she's an active sleeper anyway but i kinda wish we'd gotten her a king single - again for us though it came down to $$]]> Tue, 14 Jul 2009 00:04:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27452&PID=722049&title=single-v-king-single-bed#722049 <![CDATA[Single v King Single Bed : We got Jake a king single trundler...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27452&PID=721878&title=single-v-king-single-bed#721878 Author: Nikki

We got Jake a king single trundler ... it was pretty expensive but on sale so the same price as the single, and I figure he'll be in it for a long time. And the trundler will be great for sleep overs.]]> Mon, 13 Jul 2009 20:43:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27452&PID=721878&title=single-v-king-single-bed#721878 <![CDATA[Single v King Single Bed : we got Ella a single- we the same...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27452&PID=721840&title=single-v-king-single-bed#721840 Author: Mum2ET

we got Ella a single- we the same as Stacey growing up all 3 of us had single beds and were fine. We got her a one with a tundler bed underneath- it was $299 (incl tundler but not the mattress).

sally no but my Dad gets half price ones.. it doesn't look that much bigger to me ?

liz- some of the ones we saw were so cool with beds underneath them but so expensive so we will probably save up and go that option in a few years.. ]]> Mon, 13 Jul 2009 17:40:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27452&PID=721712&title=single-v-king-single-bed#721712 <![CDATA[Single v King Single Bed : When we buy Harry a bed we&#039;re...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27452&PID=721589&title=single-v-king-single-bed#721589 Author: arohanui

When we buy Harry a bed we're gonna get a king single - he's bound to be very tall like his daddy (who is 6 4). We're gonna get one of those ones that has the bed underneath... so it can double as 2 single/a double bed for guests.

(at the mo Harry is just on a small single bed that we already had)]]> Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:10:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27452&PID=721589&title=single-v-king-single-bed#721589 <![CDATA[Single v King Single Bed : We got a single.

We got a single. Me and my bro only had one bed all our lives which was a plain old single so don't see why Daniel can't have the same. And it takes up less space in his room]]> Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:04:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27452&PID=721583&title=single-v-king-single-bed#721583 <![CDATA[Single v King Single Bed : Is that including a mattress KA?...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27452&PID=721578&title=single-v-king-single-bed#721578 Author: sally belly

Is that including a mattress KA?

I'm not sure about the linen but I think I've seen plenty of it in the shops so I can't see it'd be a problem.

They'll be there for a good number of years so the king single might be better in the long run

We bought Ashleigh a single bed. She isn't a big kid and I can't imagine she will be a big teen/adult either. I think I would seriously consider a king single if I had a boy who I suspected would be big/tall but otherwise I'm happy with a single. My sister bought king singles for her boy/girl twins when they turned 2 and I don't think the beds were tooo big for them ]]> Mon, 13 Jul 2009 14:56:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27452&PID=721576&title=single-v-king-single-bed#721576 <![CDATA[Single v King Single Bed : the one we bought was a king single.....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27452&PID=721574&title=single-v-king-single-bed#721574 Author: ElfsMum

the one we bought was a king single.. just because we liked that bed better and it was a great price too(399$:) )

I hadn't really given it much thought but now i think bigger bed harder to fall out:) but we haven't bought any linen yet so maybe it's harder to find linen for ...not sure yet?]]> Mon, 13 Jul 2009 14:55:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27452&PID=721574&title=single-v-king-single-bed#721574 <![CDATA[Single v King Single Bed : I dragged DH around yesterday...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27452&PID=721560&title=single-v-king-single-bed#721560 Author: sally belly

I dragged DH around yesterday looking at beds for Liam. We've decided to get him in a bed before #2 arrives so we don't have much time left

Anyway, I just presumed we'd buy him a single bed so we have already bought an underlay, duvet cover & inner & 2 sets of sheets all in single size. But that's another story!

Now DH thinks that a king single might be better in the long run.

What do your toddlers sleep in? Are king singles too big for toddlers? Does it really matter?
