What are your thoughts on floor beds? My girl is 2.5 and is still in her crib. I have converted it to a toddler bed, but the rail I got is almost the entire length of her crib, so getting in and out is a struggle (I should have measured her crib before I got the rail). I thought about just getting a toddler bed, then a Montessori bed. I read about those and figured it’s just a mattress on the floor with railing around it. so instead of spending hundreds of dollars on an actual Montessori bed frame… what about just putting the mattress down and calling it a day? Anyone do this? Any thoughts? Concerns? Advice? TIA

Mines daughter has been on a mattress on the floor since she’s been out of her crib. She was not a fan of the baby mattress so I just got a twin size mattress and put it on the floor. She’s just fine, her room is child proof

My kiddos both love theirs on the floor the frames scared them so we didn’t use. Also just went from crib to queen bed no rails she has had it for 4 Years hadn’t fallen off I did put pillows on the edges til she was old enough like 4ish to get up and move around.
My son is 11 and still sleeps on a bed that’s on the floor

I have a floor bed with my 2.5 yo. It works just fine for me
I wouldn’t because I don’t like the way it’s looks in the room.
Tbh that’s what we plan to do for my daughter until she’s able to sleep in a regular bed with out rolling off 
plus at 2.5 kids don’t really get in to, to much so you don’t necessarily need the rails around the bed. At least mine doesn’t.
My son is 18 months and sleeps on a mattress on the floor. It’s easier for him to get out of and I don’t have to help him.
We went straight from a crib to a queen floorbed and she did great. As with a toddler bed, make sure the room is toddler safe. If they fall off, it’s not like it’s a big enough fall to be hurt.
My youngest has her box spring and mattress on the floor. She likes it that way and as a bonus, there is no “under the bed” for her to lose clothes, shoes and toys.
