A Montessori hut bed like our Paris model is ideal as soon as the child is ready to leave his or her cot, generally between 18 months and 3 years of age. This early transition is made possible by the safety offered by the bed's low height, which eliminates any risk of a dangerous fall. This transition to a "big bed", while remaining close to the ground, respects the child's natural developmental rhythm and fosters incipient autonomy.

The Montessori bed is perfectly suited to children up to 6-7 years of age, or even beyond, depending on their morphology and preferences. This longevity of use makes it a particularly wise investment for the early years.
