We are thinking of getting a hemnes day bed for our 2.5 as we think it will be a useful piece for when we have visitors and should also avoid the need to get a toddler bed. My main concern is that it is quite high. He's been sleeping in a cot bed without the side on for about 6 months now and rarely falls out and we would put a guard rail up but does anyone have any advice (cautionary or otherwise) re the purchase?


Thanks!

My daughter has had a hemnes daybed since she moved out of a cot at about 2 and has been absolutely fine too. They are good beds. Hers is a hand me down from much older brother who has given it plenty of rough and tumble and it is still going strong. It hasn't been that great for visitors though as the foam mattresses are too thin to be comfortable and if you go for 2 normal thick mattresses it really would be very high...

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

"We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
