Dorel Home Products Junior Loft with Slide, White and White

 (7 customer reviews)

I bought this bed for my 3-year old and she really enjoys it. That, I guess, is ultimately one of the best things I can say about the bed. Some things I noticed:

-It claims to have a 225 lb weight limit (I, at 200 lbs, climbed in and it held me just fine)
-It is a little bit wobbly when my child climbs up the ladder -- barely noticeable but I would prefer to be absolutely rock-solid
-I used a 8" mattress in the bed. The instructions call for a 6" mattress. The 8" mattress works just fine except for the fact that I wish the guardrails were now an inch or two taller as they only extend 2-3" above the mattress.
-The slide takes up quite a bit of room, more so than I expected
-When assembled (even if the slide is off), it won't fit through a standard bed room door
-Good storage space under the bed which helps mitigate the amount of space it takes up

All in all, a nice children's bed especially if you can find it on sale or...Read more

My 4 year old loves this bed. The slide is fun. The only thing I don't like is it squeaks when you are turning over and around on the bed. That can probably be solved with some WD-40 or something. Still waiting on my husband to check on that. The bed seems a little wobbly when you climb up it, but that is only when I am getting on it. LOL It does take up a little more room than I expected because of the slide. I wish my son's room was a little bigger. Maybe I will just get a bigger house one day??

My son was going through a phase where he wouldn't sleep in his own bed and was in mine every night. He helped me pick this bed out and promised if I got, he'd sleep in his own room again. Sure enough, he's in love with it. He tells everyone about his "slide bed" and how cool it is. He's only 3 so I was a little concerned with the height, but I bought a 6" mattress as recommended and it's been perfect. I keep pillows on the floor under the loft for peace of mind, but the railing really does the trick and he's an active sleeper. You can't beat the $200 price tag either. I liked this model without the curtains because the stock curtain colors for the bed clashed with his room. I easily made my own and I'm not at all crafty. It really looks adorable and it's SO MUCH FUN for him! Very pleased.
