Twin or queen bed?

We have 2 boys, ages 5 %26amp; 2. Our 5 yr old has always slept well in his own bed, he has a twin bed now in his room. Our 2 yr old does not like to sleep in his toddler bed, he likes mom %26amp; dad's big bed better, even when we are not in it.


We want to get him a new bed when we move next month, but should we get him a twin bed like his brother, or give him our queen bed? (We will be getting a new mattress for ours anyway...)


In the new house, the boys rooms will be upstairs, and ours will be on the main floor. We really don't like the idea of him coming down the stairs in the middle of the night to crawl in our bed. We think he might be more comfortable with our old mattress, and maybe he will sleep in his own room. What do you think?

Twin or queen bed?
I say buy him a twin.


If you ebd up giving him the queen, your other kid might get mad.
Reply:if you give the younger child a bigger bed then your older son. then you will start a massive turf war. That's not a fight you need to have.





You need to have a firm hand with your 2 year old. He must realize that no matter how big the bed is, that his bed, is just that.. HIS!!!. You don't want him crawl into your bed any time, or less you will be in a world of trouble.





I'd definitely stick with giving him a twin like his older brother.
Reply:I think both boys should be in their own twin bed. Your 2 year old needs to know that he's a big boy now and big boys sleep in their own bed. If you need to in the new house, get a baby gate for the stairs at night. Also, make sure you show your 5 yr old how to get it down in case of fire. It's just a matter of consistancy and being firm.
Reply:As long as the 5 year old wouldn't get jealous over it I don't see why not (if this is a comfort thing)...but keep in mind you won't find many kids bedding in queen size. Talk to both boys about it. I think the youngest might just like the bed because mom and dad sleep there, not becase of the size.





I would personally not do this myself..but to each his own I guess.
Reply:I think that it's less about the bed than it is about mum and dad.


A twin bed is a nice size for a toddler, and I really think it's more about being where mum and dad are. Maybe he's having bad dreams? Maybe his room scares him? Maybe he just knows he's safe in your bed with you.
Reply:I would give your oldest son the queen size and move the little guy to the twin bed
Reply:uhm.... why would you get a queen bed for a child? if your worry of him falling out of it you can get beds with colorful bars on the side so he cant fall out..


dont spoil your kid. it would be unfair that your toddler gets a huge bed and your 5 year old a twin. get them both a twin. a twin is big enough for a 2 year old.... im 16 and i have to sleep in one...


maybe when there 14ish get them a double bed but not a queen.


i HATE my twin bed. i cant fit in it anymore. but it perfect for your 5 and 2 year old. don't get a queen. thats beds made mostly for adults not children.





OR try this.... get him a new mattress??????


plus a parents room is comforting for a child even if your not in the room he knows its a safe place, kids hate there own room.
