What Are Oliver Furniture Conversion Kits?

Oliver Furniture’s conversion kits are add-on components that allow you to transform one furniture piece into another as your child’s needs change. Instead of buying an entirely new bed as your child grows, you simply adjust the configuration—saving money, reducing waste, and preserving your home's aesthetic consistency.


Each kit is designed to work seamlessly with Oliver Furniture’s popular Wood Collection, which includes everything from baby cots and toddler beds to lofts and bunks.

From Babyhood to Big Kid: The Modular Journey

Let’s walk through a typical journey using Oliver Furniture’s Mini+ Wood Collection as an example.

🌱 Mini Cot → Junior Bed

Mini+ junior kit (additional parts to Mini+ cot bed), Available in white, White & Oak and oak


Start your nursery with the Wood Mini+ Cot. It’s compact yet spacious enough for your baby’s first years, and its Scandinavian design brings calming, natural elegance to any room.


When your baby begins to outgrow the cot—typically around 2 to 3 years of age—you can transition to the Junior Bed using the Mini+ Junior Conversion Kit. This kit removes the fixed bars on one side and replaces them with a low guard rail, allowing your toddler to climb in and out independently. It's a gentle way to support autonomy while maintaining safety.

🧒 Junior Bed → Low Loft

Mini+ Junior Bed to Low Loft Bed Conversion Kit, White/Oak


Once your toddler becomes a confident, independent sleeper—usually around age 5 or 6—you can take things up a notch. Enter the Low Loft Conversion Kit. This setup lifts the bed off the ground just enough to create a small but useful space underneath for play, storage, or even a mini workspace.


The low loft height is perfect for young children—it offers the fun of a high bed without being too intimidating, and the built-in safety rails offer peace of mind.

🛏️ Loft → Bunk Bed

Original Low Loft Bed to Low Bunk Bed, White/Oak


When a sibling arrives—or if sleepovers become the norm—you can transition the loft bed into a bunk bed using the Bunk Bed Conversion Kit. This turns the upper sleeping area into a twin setup with a secure lower bunk beneath. It’s ideal for shared rooms, saving both floor space and the need for an additional bed purchase.


And because it’s still part of the same modular system, there’s no need to invest in a whole new bed frame—just the conversion kit.

Why Conversion Kits Matter

Oliver Furniture’s modular design philosophy isn’t just clever—it’s deeply practical. Here’s why these kits make such a big difference for families:

💸 Cost-Effective

  • Instead of investing in new furniture every couple of years, you simply upgrade the configuration. Each kit is significantly less expensive than an entirely new bed, saving you hundreds over time.

🌍 Eco-Friendly

  • Modular furniture means fewer deliveries, less packaging, and reduced waste—making Oliver Furniture a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious families. All their products are made with FSC-certified European wood and non-toxic finishes.

🧠 Child-Centred Design

  • These transitions are designed with children in mind. Moving from cot to toddler bed is gradual and gentle, while climbing into a low loft or bunk bed is age-appropriate and empowering. Your child can gain independence without feeling overwhelmed.

A Closer Look at the Mini+ Conversion Journey

Here’s a quick breakdown of the possible path using the Mini+ system:


  1. Wood Mini+ Cot (Birth–3 yrs)

  2. Mini+ Junior Bed Conversion Kit (3–6 yrs)

  3. Mini+ Low Loft or Mid Loft Conversion Kit (6+ yrs)

  4. Mini+ Bunk Bed Conversion Kit (Siblings or Sleepovers)

  5. Back to Junior Bed or Single Bed — Yes, you can even revert the configuration!


That means your original cot can serve your child into their tween years—an exceptional return on investment.


Aesthetic Consistency and Style Longevity

Unlike many other modular systems, Oliver Furniture doesn’t compromise on style. Each bed variation maintains the same beautiful, Scandinavian design language—rounded corners, soft finishes, and clean white and wood tones. Whether you’re redecorating a nursery or refreshing a tween’s room, the furniture always looks cohesive and considered. - Shop all Oliver Furniture here


How to Choose the Right Conversion Kit

To make sure you're selecting the right kit for your needs:


  • Check your current bed model: Each kit corresponds to a specific starting model (e.g., Mini+ vs. Original Wood Bed).

  • Measure your room: Especially for lofts or bunks, ensure there’s adequate ceiling height and floor space. (around 70-80cm clearance)

  • Think ahead: Are you expecting a second child? Is your child approaching school age? Planning now helps you make smarter purchases.

  • Consult with your retailer: If in doubt, reach out to us - Our fantastic customer service team here at PlayFaire are ready to help! Email us at Customercare@playfaire.co.uk
