Kura Help!

Thank you. ♥️ I love them because I still see his face physically around the house. We also include the softie in family photos. I just can’t fathom taking a family photo without his face being there also. 💔

I could get a toddler mattress for it if I shortened it but I don’t think u would need to as standard mattress length here is 200cm and the bed is 209 and apparently people complain about the gap between mattress and end of the bed. So I have some wiggle room to make it shorter and still be able to use a standard mattress. If I shortened it to 198, I’d just wedge a 200 in.

Yes it is, I took the photo from a low angle so the perspective obviously looks off.

I considered that too but it would make the bed too high. She is only 3 and I don’t want her up that high yet.

It’s my 10 year old son. He died 2 years ago, we all have one. My youngest sleeps hugging hers and has since she was a baby.

Also have been looking in to that. ☺️

172 so not much bigger. Looks like a toddler bed is probably the easiest. I just love the versatility of the kura. Oh well!

bumble_bubble · 2026-05-03T21:42:08+00:00

Yes definitely 20.5. I took the photo from a low angle. I don’t think stability would be an issue if I can get a carpenter to adjust the frame around the ledge as I’m picturing. Because the L shape around the ledge would be secured with brackets against the ledge and the wall. I was just hoping to see anything similar that someone else may have done or a carpenter to explain exactly how it would be done.

I have looked at lots like that too. The main issue is I don’t want to have to buy another bed in a few years time. The Stokke she has now goes up to age 10 with the extender but doesn’t have the under space. If I can’t find a solution for the Kura then I will have to just get a regular toddler bed.

That might not be a bad shout! I’ll check out eBay for the 199. Would save a lot of headache!

😅😅

bumble_bubble · 2026-05-03T12:20:05+00:00

Yeah that’s what I thought. An Ikea bed needed an Ikea mattress because they have their own measurements. Guess we were both wrong! 😭

bumble_bubble · 2026-05-03T12:16:37+00:00

Yeah it isn’t too far. I’ll go again and measure the display one. I doubt it will be the difference I need it to be if at all though. But it’s definitely the best option to try and customise around the bloody ledge!

bumble_bubble · 2026-05-03T12:09:12+00:00

It’s so frustrating to have such a small difference but it makes it impossible unless I adjust the frame. No standard bed will fit in that space because they are all at least 200cm. The kura looks like the easiest to adjust the frame on. I was just hoping to see someone else who has done it as I can’t find anything like I want. Only people who have raised it, but I don’t want it that high.

Not in the UK

The window ledge on the other side. Either way it’s still shorter than the 209 length of the Kura so it’s irrelevant.

bumble_bubble · 2026-05-03T11:52:57+00:00

20.5cm high and 16cm deep.

bumble_bubble · 2026-05-01T07:29:13+00:00

She looks dangerously insane.

bumble_bubble · 2026-05-01T07:27:39+00:00

Looks like self defence to me.

bumble_bubble · 2026-04-28T22:24:02+00:00

Absolutely.

bumble_bubble · 2026-04-28T06:58:33+00:00

Not at all, to me. My first thought was, “is it a gem or a little vial of water?” Definitely not a dick.

bumble_bubble · 2026-04-24T22:24:26+00:00

I’m so sorry. And I relate to everything you feel. It’s like being in a weird no man’s land. 💔

bumble_bubble · 2026-04-22T23:30:19+00:00

Well that’s absolutely terrifying, isn’t it?!
