Children Bed for Boys That Lasts, Anri Kids Bed by Johnstones

Boys are rough on beds. They jump on them, build forts, and wake up sideways without a care in the world. The Anri Kids Bed was made with exactly that boy in mind — thick padded sides that take the knocks, premium UK upholstery that stays looking sharp, and a solid structure that carries them from their first big-boy bedroom right through to their teens.

Why parents across the UK choose the Anri for their boys

The Anri stands apart from the flat-pack, budget-first options filling up search results. Finished in six premium fabrics — Plush Velvet in Steel or Royal Blue, Teddy in Blue or Green, bold Charcoal Chenille — there’s a colour that clicks with every boy’s bedroom, whether the theme is adventure, sport, gaming, or clean minimal.

High padded sides are the defining safety feature. Unlike bare wooden slatted frames from generic retailers, the Anri wraps your son’s sleep zone in thick upholstered cushioning on all sides. No sharp corners, no exposed rails — just a safe, cosy space that gives parents actual peace of mind at lights-out.

A children’s bed that grows with him

One of the most common buying mistakes parents make? Choosing a bed their child outgrows in 24 months. The Anri comes in five sizes — Single 3ft, Small Double 4ft, Double 4ft 6, King Size 5ft, and Super King 6ft. Set up the perfect single for a 4-year-old transitioning from a toddler bed, then upgrade to a small double for a 10-year-old who sleeps sprawled like a starfish. This bed scales with your son, making it one of the most cost-efficient children’s bed investments you’ll make.

Six fabrics — colours built for boys’ bedrooms

Pick from Plush Velvet (Steel, Royal Blue, Sky Blue, Charcoal, Pebble), Teddy fabric (Blue, Green, Linen, Truffle), Chenille (Charcoal, Silver, Black), Coniston (Armour, Blue, Green), Crush Velvet (Silver, Grey, Gold), or Naple (Blue, Charcoal, Black). Bold tones for bolder boys, neutrals for rooms that need to grow with him.

Pair it with the right mattress — don’t skip this

A boys’ growing spine needs proper support, and a good-quality children’s bed frame deserves a matched mattress. Johnstones Beds offer bundle options from a soft-to-medium Spring Memory Foam through to a firm 3000 Pocket Spring — ideal for older boys or active sleepers who need deeper support. Bundle with the bed and it’s one delivery, one decision, done.

UK-made, Dewsbury-based — not shipped from a warehouse overseas

Johnstones Beds & Mattresses operate from Unit 12a, Mill Street East, Savile Business Centre, Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. Support, returns, and aftercare are handled directly — no third-party courier runarounds or missing-parts nightmares common with overseas-manufactured alternatives.

Currently priced from £219 (was £699)

Which size Anri fits your boy best?

Toddlers moving from a cot: Single 3ft with padded sides is perfect. School-age boys aged 6–11: Small Double gives extra room to sprawl and read without crowding a smaller bedroom. Pre-teens and older: go Double or King — they grow fast, and you won’t want to replace this bed in two years.

What age is the Anri Kids Bed suitable for boys?

The Anri Kids Bed suits boys from toddler age upwards. Its high padded safety sides and five size options — Single 3ft through to Super King 6ft — make it ideal for young children transitioning from a cot and for older boys and teenagers who need more space.

Is the Anri Kids Bed safe for active boys who move around in their sleep?

Yes. The Anri features high padded upholstered sides all around the sleeping area, cushioning any accidental rolls or movements in the night. There are no sharp corners or exposed wooden rails — making it one of the safest children’s bed designs available for boys in the UK.

What are the best fabric colours for a boys’ bedroom?

For boys’ bedrooms, popular choices include Teddy Blue, Royal Blue Plush, Steel Plush, Charcoal Chenille, Armour Coniston, and Teddy Green. These tones work well across adventure-themed, sport, gaming, and clean neutral bedroom styles. The Anri comes in six fabric families with 30+ colour options.
