Kids Santa Cruz Gray Full Bookcase Bed

No, this bed is designed to be used with a bunkie board rather than a traditional box spring. Using a bunkie board provides the necessary flat, sturdy support for the mattress while maintaining a lower profile. This ensures the mattress does not sit too high, keeping the bookcase shelves easily accessible and preserving the sleek look of the headboard.

This bookcase bed is designed to maximize organization by serving as both a sleeping area and a storage hub. The headboard features two spacious open shelves for books, alarm clocks, or decor, while the padded upholstered backrest panel folds down to reveal a concealed storage area. This hidden compartment is perfect for stowing away private items or electronics, helping to keep the bedside clutter-free.

Safety is a core component of this bed’s design, which features rounded edges throughout the frame. These softened corners help reduce the risk of injury during active play or nighttime movement. This focus on "kid-friendly" construction ensures a safer environment without sacrificing the sophisticated style of the furniture.

Yes, the frame of this bed is constructed from solid pine, a material highly valued in furniture making for its natural durability and resilience. Pine provides a sturdy, reliable foundation that can withstand the daily activity of a child’s room. Additionally, the gray finish is applied over the wood to offer a modern aesthetic that remains stylish as your child transitions from their younger years into their teens.

The upholstered panel serves a dual purpose for both comfort and functionality. For children who enjoy reading or propping up to use a tablet in bed, the padding provides a soft, supportive backrest. Beyond comfort, the panel acts as a door to the concealed storage compartment, blending a soft, tactile design element with a clever organizational solution.

While a full-size bed offers a larger sleep surface, this specific model is an excellent space-saver for smaller rooms because the bookcase headboard eliminates the need for a separate nightstand. By utilizing vertical storage at the head of the bed, you free up floor space for play or other essential furniture like a desk. We recommend measuring your room to ensure the 89.5" length fits comfortably while allowing for walking paths.
