In reply to Erin. Hi Erin, Thanks so much for your comment! I'm pretty sure that this bed used to be carried by Ikea, but this photo is several years-old. If you google something like Montessori floor bed, I think there are similar models carried by Wayfair and other furniture stores. Hope this helps!

In reply to Roya. Hi @ Roya - Thanks for visiting us and for your great question!! The rails are great for babies, because you will not want them to roll off of the mattress onto the floor! Many Montessori style beds include the railing or they are available to purchase separately. Good luck Roya!!

Hello, Thanks for the great article. I was actually thinking about floor bed for my baby and found this very helpful. I just have a question, some of the beds have short rail around them and an opening on one side, whereas some are completely free. Does that make any difference in the concept of Montessori? Especially if I want to start using this method for a 3 or 4 month old baby to gradually transfer him to his bedroom.

In reply to Brittani. Hi @Brittani - Thanks for writing to us about your 3 month old and the Montessori floor bed! Safety is definitely number one, so if she's not 100% safe and can wiggle off, you may indeed want to use a bassinet or co-sleeper for now. It's possible that you can find a safety railing/railings that you can attach to the mattress. Depending on your bed/setup, they do manufacture these for many different sizes of beds! Good luck Brittani!

I am currently trying a Montessori floor bed but my 3 month old keeps wiggling her way off the bed and onto the floor and so I keep putting her in the bassinet because I don’t want her to end up face down in the carpet. Do you have any suggestions on how to prevent this? Or what to do to help the situation? We really want to stick with the Montessori method but don’t want to put our baby in a situation that could be dangerous.

We loved having our third son on a floor bed and found he took to it better than our others did to a crib! Our Montessori nursery: https://thehappierhomemaker.com/ikea-nursery-reveal/
