1. Floor Bed for Freedom of Movement
A Montessori room typically replaces the traditional crib with a floor bed. This allows children to get in and out of bed independently, encouraging freedom and self-reliance.
A simple mattress placed on the floor or a low wooden frame works best. It also makes the room safer, as there’s no risk of falling from a height. The child learns to listen to their body and rest when needed without relying on adults.
