And with a height of 105-114 cm, it is still easy for you to reach the mattress when it is time to change the sheets.

Hoppekids half high bed
There are a lot of advantages to choosing a half high bed. Having to climb up and down from the bed can be really good for your child's motor development, as they learn to control their body better. Adapting challenging physical activities at home is important for your child to develop motor skills (Danish Health Authorities).
With a Hoppekids half high bed, you have the opportunity to use the space under the bed for everything from storage to cosy dens that you can decorate with cushions, fairy lights and more. You can also choose a play curtain for the half-high bed, so the area under the bed is covered from the rest of the room.

When can you use a half high bed?
When to choose a half high bed for your child or whether to have a high bed depends a lot on your child.
We recommend our half-high beds for children aged 4-5 - but some choose to take in the half high bed even earlier, which is of course also possible. Take a look at your child and use that to decide whether or not a half high bed is right for them.
To get used to the height of the bed, you may want to start by sleeping on a mattress under the bed. Then your child can play in the bed during the day and get used to the height. In no time at all, your child will be completely comfortable moving around in bed, and you can move the sleeping space up in the bed.
