What’s in It for Your Little One?

  • Promotes Independence: Designed with your child's autonomy in mind, this low-to-the-ground bed lets little ones get in and out on their own, building self-sufficiency and confidence from an early age. It's a foundational step in helping them feel capable and in control of their space, which is a core principle of the Montessori Philosophy. 
  • Protective Rails for Peace of Mind: Side rails help reduce roll-offs while leaving an opening for your child to enter and exit. This Montessori floor bed with rails combines a reassuring border with access that supports independence.
  • Easier Bedtime Comfort: The low frame lets you sit beside your child to read, offer reassurance, or help them settle without leaning over high crib rails. Everyday moments of connection, with your little one within reach.
  • Compact Size, More Room to Play: The Apple Crib fits a crib-sized mattress, creating a comfortable sleeping space without taking over the room. A practical toddler floor bed for smaller bedrooms, with more floor space left for play and everyday activities.
  • Optimal Hygiene and Airflow: Unlike mattresses placed directly on the ground, our low bed for toddler design elevates the mattress, preventing mildew and ensuring excellent ventilation for your child’s health and comfort.
  • Exceptional Quality, Made in Vancouver: Designed and manufactured in Vancouver, Canada, our wooden floor bed is made from thick, high-quality Maple or Birch plywood. Sturdy construction and carefully finished edges create a substantial piece built for everyday use.
  • Thoughtful Safety Details: Rounded corners, smooth edges, and non-toxic finishes are chosen with your child in mind. Our plywood meets CARB Phase 2 and TSCA Title VI formaldehyde emission standards.
  • Simple Assembly: Easy-to-follow instructions make assembling your crib-sized floor bed straightforward, so you can get your child’s sleeping space ready with ease.
  • 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee: We want you and your child to love your Apple Crib Montessori Floor Bed. If it isn’t right for your family, you can return it within 60 days, subject to our return policy.

  • Mattress is not included.

  • Made in Vancouver, Canada.
  • Every piece we create is one-of-a-kind, and that's what makes it special. The unique shapes and lines in the wood add to its character and individuality.

Safety

  • For safety reasons place the bed less than 1.5 inches or at least 12 inches away from the wall. The purpose of this is to prevent your baby from becoming trapped between the bed and the wall.
  • Make sure the room is safe for the child to wander around. This includes covering outlets, removing cords, screw fragile furniture to the wall, etc.
  • Always follow your health care provider's requirements for safe sleeping. This may include removing pillows, duvets or covers to avoid suffocation. 
  • We recommend using bumpers or pads on the edges of the floor bed until your child becomes accustomed to sleeping in it or until they feel comfortable without them.
  • Never leave your child unattended.

Recommended Age: 9 months old and up.

Age matters because what really keeps a child safe in an open bed is their ability to reliably control their head, neck, and body. A child needs to be able to turn their head easily, push away from obstacles, and intentionally reposition themselves if they press against a rail or surface.

Many babies develop these skills between 7–9 months, which is why we recommend 9 months and up, provided your child has clearly achieved these milestones.

Parents should always assess their own child’s readiness rather than relying on age alone.

Materials

We select our materials with safety as our first priority, followed by strength and natural beauty. All our plywood meets CARB Phase 2 and TSCA Title VI formaldehyde emission standards, reflecting our commitment to thoughtfully made furniture for your home.

3/4-inch PureBond® Maple Plywood

Our premium maple plywood is made using PureBond® formaldehyde-free adhesive technology. We are one of the few children’s furniture brands offering this type of wood. Its light tone and smooth, hand-varnished finish create a fresh, modern look. We lightly tint the edges for a clean, Scandinavian-inspired finish that complements the wood’s natural beauty.

3/4-inch Birch Plywood

Our birch plywood comes prefinished with a clear coating that highlights its natural grain. We carefully sand and hand-seal the edges to showcase the plywood’s distinctive layers. Its slightly warmer tone brings a welcoming feel to your space, while its low formaldehyde emissions meet CARB Phase 2 and TSCA Title VI standards.

White Melamine with a Plywood Core

The white components feature a durable melamine surface over a sturdy plywood core, with no particleboard. The clean white finish provides a neutral balance alongside the natural wood.

About CARB Phase 2 and TSCA Title VI

CARB Phase 2 is California’s standard limiting formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products, including hardwood plywood, particleboard, and MDF. TSCA Title VI establishes corresponding standards across the United States. These regulations include testing and certification requirements to help reduce formaldehyde emissions into indoor air.

When we say PureBond technology is “formaldehyde-free,” we’re describing our hardwood plywood panels, which are comprised of no added urea formaldehyde components and assembled with no-added urea-formaldehyde (UF) adhesives.

What Parents are Saying

About the Owners

Hi! We're Ale and Jorge. Sapiens Child started in our small apartment in Vancouver during COVID, when we couldn't find children's furniture designed with true independence and purpose for our own baby.

Combining my expertise as a Certified Montessori Guide with Jorge's craftsmanship, we built a simple table and chair set.

One thing led to another. Today, thousands of parents have trusted us to bring autonomy into their homes. We were even featured on Dragons' Den!

We're still pinching ourselves and couldn't be more grateful to our incredible community.
