So I see no reason that it would matter what age the person was that was sleeping on the mattress. I think it's just encouraged for babies/younger kids so they can get in and out of the bed easily, and also for safety so they don't hurt themselves if they accidentally rolled off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-floor-beds-basically-just-a-mattress-on-the-floor#post-732991 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 17:37:37 +0000 BoogieBea 732991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're thinking about switching LO out of his toddler bed soon. Am exploring having a floor bed for now since it looks pretty straight forward to me. Also, are floor beds more of a toddler bed option or can older kids continue to sleep on a floor bed? </p>
