As Christmas approaches you might be thinking about inviting guests or anticipating a few sleep-overs? Obviously providing adequate sleeping arrangements for the kids can be a problem where space is tight but, thankfully, there is a simple and effective solution – ready beds, snuggle sacs (or sacks) and kid’s sleeping bags are perfect for accommodating the odd junior guest and are also useful for your own children’s everyday needs – particularly if they will be staying with friends or going on short holidays.
Perfect for sleep-overs or as simple and portable occasional furniture, ready-beds are available in a range of designs for boys and girls and there are several options to suit everyone’s budget.
Bed in a Bag
These handy ready-bed-bags are a great alternative to the more common inflatable beds and can be simply rolled-up and stored away when not in use. The soft and comfortable cover, in pink/butterfly or stripes design, can be easily removed and machine washed. The storage bag is fully zipped with a draw-string closure and water-proof base so is perfect for travelling to and from friends houses and holiday locations.

Pink & Blue Junior Ready-Beds
A girl’s or boy’s ready-bed with an inflatable base and all-in-one cover – so there is no need for extra sheets. Each bed comes complete with a compact hand-pump which inflates the base in just a few minutes. The covers are removable and can be safely machine washed. £22.99 each from Price Right Home
