Choosing the Right Size for Co-Sleeping
Co-sleeping has become a comforting and practical solution for many families — but one of the first questions people ask is: How big does the bed need to be? If you're sharing your sleeping space with children (or even pets), size matters. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the best sizes for family beds, so everyone gets a good night's sleep.
Standard Family Bed Sizes Explained
At Fey, we offer extra-wide boxspring beds designed specifically with families in mind. The most popular dimensions are:
-
240×200 cm – Ideal for two adults and one child
-
280×210 cm – Extra length for taller people, or growing kids
-
280×220 cm – Maximum comfort for families with two children or those who want lots of room
Compared to standard double beds, these sizes give you the space to stretch, cuddle, and move freely — without rolling into each other.
What Size Fits Which Family?
Here’s a simple breakdown:
| Family Type | Recommended Size |
|---|---|
| 2 adults + 1 child | 240×200 cm |
| 2 adults + 2 children (young) | 280×210 cm |
| 2 adults + 2 older children | 280×220 cm |
| 2 adults + tall individuals | ≥ 210 cm length |
Remember: kids grow fast, and a bit of extra space can extend the usability of your bed by years.
Why Go Bigger?
Choosing a larger family bed doesn’t just mean more room — it means better sleep:
-
Less movement disturbance: Nobody gets woken up by turning or stretching
-
More comfort: Especially for hot sleepers or restless children
-
Extended usability: Bigger beds work even as children get older
-
More time together: From bedtime stories to weekend cuddles
Other Things to Consider
When choosing your family bed size, keep these extras in mind:
-
Bedroom space: Make sure you can still move around the room
-
Electric lift: Ideal for cleaning under large beds or adjusting for storage
-
Storage drawers: Add practical space without sacrificing comfort
-
Mattress firmness & topper: With a larger surface, mattress quality matters even more
