What size kids' floor sofa or play bed should I get for a toddler?

Also asked as:What size for a 2-year-old?Is the back included?

A toddler doesn't sit on a sofa, neighbor. They climb it, nap on it and drive trucks across it, so size it for all three.

Because the round pillows are loose, they turn into something to push, roll and climb around.

The quick answer

For a 2-year-old, a 24 x 50 in (61 x 127 cm) kids floor sofa works well if you have the space. The larger 28 x 60 in (71 x 152 cm) set includes backrest and armrests. The kids' corner cushion is 39 x 39 in; the foam play bed, mattress included, comes in 35 x 75, 45 x 75 and 55 x 79 in.

Why 24 x 50 inches for a two-year-old

When a buyer asked what to get for a 2-year-old, the workshop's answer was 24 x 50 in (61 x 127 cm), if the room allows, made with fabric and filling suited to children. That gives a small body room to sprawl and still leaves floor for the train set. Kids and dogs are the real quality control, and a toddler will test every seam by lunchtime.

The size-by-age Pattern carries the numbers past the toddler years, and the kid-friendly fabric Pattern helps with the cover.

When the bigger set, the corner or the play bed earns its floor

Step up to 28 x 60 in (71 x 152 cm) and the backrest and armrests come in the price, which turns a play mat into a proper little couch for reading together. For a corner, the kids' corner cushion is 39 x 39 in (100 x 100 cm) and can be made to your own size; see corner floor cushions.

The foam play bed includes its mattress, in 35 x 75 in, 45 x 75 in or 55 x 79 in. If you're matching sheets, measure the bed you're replacing first. How much floor does your playroom really have? Measure it before the toy bins claim it, then browse kids floor sofas.

A kids' foam play bed comes with its mattress in three sizes, 35 x 75, 45 x 75 and 55 x 79 in, so measure the floor first, not the child.
