Product Description

The Hideaway Kids Bed from Hide & Seek Kids brings enchanting charm and cozy comfort to children's bedrooms. This distinctive design features a fully enclosed house-shaped frame with peaked roof styling and protective side panels that create a secure, nest-like sleeping environment. The hideaway aesthetic provides the sense of having a special secret space while maintaining the practical functionality of a quality timber bed.

Crafted from solid timber construction with eco-friendly paint finishes, this bed offers both durability and child safety. The enclosed house-frame design creates a comforting, protected feeling that many children find soothing at bedtime. The side panels provide a sense of security while the front opening ensures easy access and adequate ventilation.

Available in three practical sizes—single, king single, and double—the Hideaway Bed adapts to different room layouts and family needs. Choose from three sophisticated colour options: natural pine for organic warmth, crisp white for timeless versatility, or stylish dark grey for contemporary appeal. Note that natural pine is available in single and king single sizes only. The pre-finished construction means it arrives ready to assemble and use.

The enclosed design provides wonderful opportunities for personalisation. Many families add fairy lights inside for a magical nighttime glow, hang decorative bunting along the roof peak, or use the frame structure to create cozy reading nooks with cushions and soft lighting. The solid timber construction ensures stability for years of bedtime stories, imaginative play, and peaceful sleep.

Styling Your Hideaway Bed

The Hideaway Kids Bed offers wonderful opportunities for creating a truly magical sleeping space. The enclosed structure naturally lends itself to cozy, imaginative personalisation. String battery-operated fairy lights along the interior roof peak for a starlit effect that makes bedtime enchanting. The soft glow creates a calming atmosphere perfect for winding down at night.

Add soft cushions and throw pillows inside to create a comfortable reading nook during the day. The hideaway becomes more than a bed—it transforms into a private retreat where children enjoy quiet activities, read books, or simply relax in their own special space.

Hang lightweight fabric bunting or garlands along the exterior roof peak for festive charm. The enclosed sides can be decorated with removable wall decals or small shelves for displaying favorite toys or books. Some families add a small doorway sign with their child's name, completing the "my own house" effect.

Each colour option creates different styling opportunities. Natural pine brings organic warmth perfect for woodland or nature themes, and pairs beautifully with botanical décor and natural textures. White provides a bright, clean canvas that works with any colour scheme—add colourful bedding and accessories to express personality while maintaining a fresh, timeless foundation. Dark grey offers sophisticated, modern appeal that complements contemporary décor and grows gracefully with children, working beautifully with bold accent colours and refined design schemes.

Why Families Choose the Hideaway Bed

The Hideaway Kids Bed addresses children's natural desire for a space of their own. The enclosed design provides the "secret hideaway" feeling that children adore while maintaining the practical functionality parents need. Unlike play tents or temporary structures, the Hideaway offers a permanent, sturdy sleeping solution that fulfills this developmental need for personal space.

Parents appreciate how the enclosed structure helps children feel secure at bedtime. The side panels create a cocoon-like environment that many children find comforting, particularly those who feel anxious in open spaces. The design provides a sense of protection and privacy while ensuring parents maintain easy visual access through the front opening.

The solid timber construction delivers exceptional durability for years of nightly use. The robust frame handles the daily activities of childhood—climbing in and out, bedtime stories, morning wake-ups, and everything in between—while maintaining structural integrity.

Families value the versatility of the design across different ages. Younger children enjoy the playhouse aspect, using the hideaway for imaginative play during the day. As children grow older, the space becomes a private retreat for reading, drawing, or simply having their own quiet area. The sophisticated styling and quality construction remain appropriate and attractive through teenage years.

Hideaway vs. Cubby House Bed

Hide & Seek Kids offers two house-style bed designs. Understanding the differences helps you choose the best fit for your child:

Hideaway Bed: Features fully enclosed sides with panels creating a more private, protected sleeping space. Best for children who enjoy cozy, nest-like environments or who prefer more visual privacy. The enclosed design creates a stronger "secret hideaway" effect.

Cubby House Bed: Features an open house frame with peaked roof but no side panels. Provides the playhouse aesthetic with more open, airy feel. Best for families preferring better visual access to the sleeping child or for rooms requiring more airflow visibility.

Both beds offer the same quality solid timber construction, eco-friendly finishes, and imaginative house-frame styling. Your choice depends on whether you prefer the enclosed, cozy feel of the Hideaway or the open, accessible feel of the Cubby House design.

Size Selection Guide

Single Bed: Perfect for individual children in standard bedrooms. The 198cm x 100cm footprint provides full hideaway experience while maximising floor space. Suitable from toddler transitions through to primary school years. All sizes share the same 186cm height.

King Single Bed: Ideal for children who prefer extra sleeping space or for longer use through childhood and teenage years. The additional width (116cm vs 100cm) provides growing room while maintaining a manageable bedroom footprint. Excellent investment for extended use.

Double Bed: Excellent for shared sleeping, siblings who occasionally sleep together, or families wanting maximum longevity from the investment. The spacious double size (147cm wide) works comfortably for children into their teenage years and beyond. Perfect for larger bedrooms.

Colour Selection Guide

Natural Pine: Showcases the timber's inherent warmth and grain character. Creates a cozy, grounded aesthetic that complements botanical themes, woodland décor, and natural textures. Brings organic beauty to bedrooms. Available in Single and King Single sizes only.

White: Bright, versatile, and timeless. Pairs effortlessly with any colour scheme and complements both playful and sophisticated décor styles. Ideal for rooms with limited natural light or for creating a fresh, clean aesthetic. Works beautifully with colourful bedding. Available in all sizes.

Dark Grey: Contemporary and sophisticated with modern appeal. Provides striking visual impact and grows gracefully with children from early years through teens. Complements bold accent colours and contemporary design schemes. Perfect for families preferring sophisticated children's furniture. Available in all sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Hideaway different from the Cubby House Bed?
The Hideaway features fully enclosed sides with panels creating a more private, protected sleeping space. The Cubby House Bed has an open house frame without side panels, providing more visual access and an airier feel. Both offer quality construction and house-frame styling.

Is the enclosed design safe for sleeping?
Yes, when used properly. The front opening ensures adequate ventilation and easy access. Do not block this opening with heavy materials. The enclosed sides provide security while maintaining safe airflow for comfortable sleeping.

How tall is the bed? Will it fit in my room?
All sizes (single, king single, and double) are 186cm high. We recommend at least 210cm ceiling height for adequate clearance. Measure your ceiling height before purchasing to ensure proper fit.

Does the bed come painted?
Yes! The Hideaway Bed arrives pre-finished with eco-friendly paint in your selected colour. It's ready to use upon assembly without requiring painting.

Can I add curtains to the front opening?
You can add lightweight, sheer curtains if desired, but they should not be heavy or restrict airflow. Ensure any additions are breathable and do not completely seal the opening. The front opening needs to remain functional for ventilation and access.

Is assembly difficult?
The bed arrives partially assembled with detailed instructions. Due to the enclosed structure, assembly takes approximately 2-3 hours. Two people are strongly recommended due to the size and panel installation. All necessary hardware is included, and basic household tools are typically sufficient.
