Discovery Car Bed for Kids
Recommended Mattresses: Save an Extra 10%
The ideal fit for comfort, support & stress-free setup
The Discovery is a low single bed shaped like a car, for a child who loves playtime as much as bedtime. The sides are higher at the head, which helps keep a younger child from rolling out and makes a cosy spot for bedtime stories, and there's a small shelf at the head for books and toys.
It's handmade to order in Belgium by Mathy by Bols, from PEFC-certified timber from sustainably managed forests, and painted in water-based, non-toxic colours. There are 26 colours to choose from, and a matching touch-up stick comes with the bed.
At 68cm high it's easy to climb in and out of, and it's suitable from age 3. Because it's made for your order, allow 3 to 4 weeks for delivery. It comes ready for self-assembly.
It comes in two sizes, for a UK single (90cm by 190cm) or a small double (120cm by 190cm) mattress, on a roll-up slatted base. Add the pull-out bed and it sleeps two: the bed sits a little higher, and a second bed on castors slides out from underneath for a mattress up to 12cm deep (90 x 180cm under the single).

Room fit
The Discovery takes 228cm of wall and 100cm of floor out from the wall (130cm for the small double), a little longer than a standard single. At 68cm high (79cm with the pull-out bed) it suits any room. With the pull-out bed, leave about a metre clear beside it.
Questions parents ask

Can I choose any colour?
Yes. All 26 colours are listed on this page, at the same price.
Is there a version with a canopy?
Yes. The Discovery Canopy Car Bed is the same bed with a canopy frame over the top.
