How should a 1-year-old's bed be set up?

A 1-year-old's bed should be arranged to support safety, comfort, and independent sleep habits.
First, if your baby is still using a crib, check that the rail height is appropriate — if the baby can stand and their chest is higher than the top rail, the crib is no longer safe and it's time to transition to a bed. A low bed (Montessori-style low platform + mattress) or a standard single bed with protective side rails added can work. The mattress should be firm; soft, memory foam, or down-filled mattresses aren't recommended due to breathing risk and lack of spinal support. The bed should have no pillows, blankets, heavy quilts, or stuffed animals — a baby sleep sack is enough for your baby. Room temperature should be kept between 20–22°C.
For mattress and bed frame safety standards (like TS EN 716, TS EN 16890), make sure whatever you buy meets these standards.
