IT’S ALL ABOUT THE CHILDREN
Hoppekids’ dream is to create a better future for
the children. That’s the essence of everything we
do. It is the heart and soul of our every day.
We fight for a better future by:
• Creating the safest and most sustainable
children’s furniture which promotes good
sleep, play, and creative learning.
• Constantly improving ourselves in regards to
the standards for environment, health, and
quality that the 5 Nordic countries have made
for the Nordic Ecolabel. (read more on page 32)
• Involving ourselves in good initiatives which
create a lasting change for the children and
those who fight for them (read more on page 92)
What does the Nordic Swan Ecolabel mean
for Hoppekids’ production – and for you?
For furniture – and for many other industries – the
production is what makes the biggest impact on the
environment. That is why we are striving to create
furniture which has as long a life span as possible.
Furniture carrying the Nordic Swan Ecolabel has to
live up to strict standards regarding its impact on the
environment and health, as well as its security and quality.
Our beds should be able to be passed on from a bigger
sibling to a smaller. The bed should also always fit the
child and the room in which it is placed. That’s why our
furniture is flexible and can be changed to always match
your needs. It’s super easy - you can just add a module
underneath your junior bed to make a brand-new high
sleeper!
We are working closely with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel
and it has been a pleasure going through our products’
life cycles – from before the wood is harvested and right
until the bed has to be recycled. The result is a production
which makes the least impact on the environment and
exclusively uses wood from sustainable sources.
It also means that our products have the least affect
possible in your child’s room. This is ensured by
exclusively using water-based lacquer.
We usually say that it’s perfectly safe to “taste” our
furniture because there are no harmful substances
in them...but, honestly: They’re not nearly as tasty as
chocolate!

THEME: THE BABY HOME
THEME: THE BABY HOME
The IDA-MARIE Playpen with round bars. The base can be set to
three different heights. Outer measurements: W91xH71xD85 cm
THE PLAYPEN - AN OASIS OF PEACE
The playpen is neither a cage nor a prison for your child.
From your child’s point of view, it is rather a bubble that
protects your child from everyone else. The playpen is a
safe haven for your child where disruptions, curious pets,
and siblings are kept out. It is also a safe and secure spot
for your child if you need to do something that requires
you to turn your back to the child for a bit.
A pen for learning and playing
The bars of the playpen are the ideal support for when
your child is starting to stand and walk – both from the
inside and outside of the playpen. By using a nonslip
underlay, e.g. a playpen mattress, which also serves as
isolation you will create a soft, comfortable and safe
surface for your child.
While your child is still very small, you can tie a cord
across the playpen and attach toys to it. This is a
useful tool to stimulate and train your child’s eye-hand
coordination, because the child will begin to reach for
the toys when he/she is 2-3-months old. For safety
reasons you should remove the cord as soon as your
child starts to attempt to stand up.
Use the playpen as a supplement
It is important to use the playpen with care because your
child will train useful skills, such as crawling and rolling,
when placed on the floor. As soon as your child begins
to move about on his or her own, you should only use
the playpen for shorter stays and for the child’s own
safety e.g. when you have to leave the room.
If you are worried a playpen will take up too much space
in your home, you can consider buying one with a smaller
size. The playpen from Hoppekids only measures 91x85
cm and has a mattress size of 80x86 cm. The base is
adjustable to three different heights. Use these settings
to avoid hurting your back when you are lifting your
child as well as to protect your child from draft.
MEET ANTON
ANTON is a robust and classic crib with a mattress size of 60x120 cm and a
base that can be set to two positions. ANTON carries the Nordic Ecolabel.
This means that there are strict standards regarding environment, health,
quality, and safety which ensure safe surroundings for your child. The design
of ANTON enables you to rebuild the crib into a bench and thereby increase
ANTON’s useful life remarkably. Should a baby sister or brother arrive? Then
you can easily transform ANTON back into a crib!

THEME: THE BABY HOME
More sleep for you
The time with a newborn is always tough both because
you will not get as much sleep as usual but also because
a new, little person, who has to be watched and cared
for, has arrived.
Some parents choose to let the baby sleep in their bed
- which can be a solution as well - as long as you do not
place the baby between you.
Lying in between you creates a greater risk of injury
and authorities advise against it. Your baby will need as
much space in your bed as in his/her own and it can be
a challenge to fit three people in a bed meant for two
without losing sleep.
The cradle makes sure the baby has his/her own space
while still being right next to you. And when the cradle is
right there, it is still very easy to comfort and breastfeed
without really having to get out of bed.
Life of a cradle after the first six months
It is no secret that you have to buy a lot of stuff for
the new arrival. That is also why it might seem over the
top to buy a cradle which will only be used as a sleeping
space for about six months before it gets too small.
Hoppekids want all of our furniture to be used – and
reused – for a long time because it is far better for the
environment if only few pieces of furniture have to be
produced.
That is why the cradle is made from solid wood which
makes it sturdy and very durable. It can also be reshaped
into a great little bench that your child can use for many
years.
If a little brother or sister arrives, it can easily be made
into a cradle again, and because it is so durable, it will
last for generations.
The cradle has been designed so you can
easily re-build it into a smart bench.
The Cradle| CHRISTIAN
dresser
THE CRADLE – MORE THAN A BED
The cradle is your baby’s first real sleeping place
after being carried around in a belly for nine months.
Therefore, it is essential that the sleeping place is a
safe and secure place where your baby can adjust to
being outside in the real world.
Why choose the cradle?
There are plenty of advantages in choosing a cradle
instead of a cot or letting the baby sleep in the bed
with you.
After nine months, your baby has gotten used to
being rocked around in the tummy. The cradle
recreates the rocking movement. This makes it feel
safe, natural and relaxing for your baby – just as
it feels natural for you to comfort your child by
rocking and carrying him or her in your arms.
At the same time, the rocking motion stimulates
your baby’s balance which is the foundation for
future motor skill development. The cradle therefore
comes as a developing and more natural extension
of the time in the belly than, for instance, the cot.
Baby wants to be put in the corner
Newborn babies should not have too much space
around them because they are just getting used to
being out in the big world instead of in mom’s safe,
but confined belly.
The cradle is good because you rarely have to adjust
the sleeping area with, for instance, a bed crib bunker
or similer. At the same time, the slightly smaller size
is practical when you have to find space for it in your
bedroom.
For your baby’s own safety it is recommended that
the baby sleeps in the same room as you for the first
three months.

a wall hanging changing station that can fold up when not
in use. You can also choose a standing changing station that
won’t take up too much space but still contains everything
you need.
If you have plenty of space, for instance in the child’s room,
you can choose a dresser with a dressing top. The dressing
top transforms the dresser into a practical changing station
and when your child no longer needs diapers, you can
remove the dressing top. After that, the dresser can be used
to store all sorts of things in the years to come.
Changing time is bonding time
Even though it is rarely downright lovely to handle a used
diaper, the time you spend changing your child is a perfect
opportunity to bond. It gives you the opporunity to talk to
your child and share a lot of important eye and physical
contact. This makes your child grow accustomed to you
and to the process of changing diapers.
THEME: THE BABY HOME
CHECKLIST FOR THE CHANGING STATION
• Tub or bowl for water, with one or two spaces
• Diapers
• Soft towels or fabric diapers
• Wash cloths (soft disposable or cotton cloths)
• Clean clothes
• An extra pacifier
• Lotions, soap and the like
• Comb
• Manicure set and cotton swabs
• Optional: a thermos with lukewarm water
• Optional: a bin for used diapers
THE CHANGING STATION
More than 5000! That is the amount of diapers, you
can expect to change during your child’s first 3 years.
Most changes will hopefully happen on a well-equipped
changing station. We will give you some pointers on how
to pick the best solution for you and your child.
You have to consider many things when creating a
changing station.
Where should it be located and how much surplus space
does that room have? Is it necessary to move the changing
station out of the bathroom - and then how do you get
access to water?
Placement
When choosing a changing station, you have to remember
that it is a work station. Many people tend to focus mainly
on the decorations and coziness of the situation, while
forgetting the practical details.
The optimal placement of the changing station is next to
a tap with running water. For that the bathroom is the
obvious choice, but some choose the kitchen or the utility
room if space is an issue.
Some place the changing station in the bedroom because it
has space or because they want to keep all the baby items
in one place. When you don’t have access to running water,
you can use a small wash bowl. Some bowls are divided into
several spaces so you have water for both the ’head and the
tail’. During the day – and especially during the night – you
should keep lukewarm water in a thermos for easy access.
No matter where you place your changing station, it is
important to keep necessities nearby. These include diapers,
wash cloths, water, clean clothes, lotions, nail clippers and
cotton swaps among others. They should be easy to reach
so you don’t have to leave the station during a change. If
you need to turn away from the station, it is recommended
to place your child on the floor or place a hand on the baby’s
belly so you know the baby is lying safely on the changing
station. Also keep in mind that the station should have the
correct height so you don’t strain your back when using it.
Size of the furniture
Only few people have unlimited space in the children’s room
or bathroom. Luckily there are a number of solutions to this.
If you have the station in a small bathroom, consider using
When your child grows – and grows restless – you might
want to consider having a toy nearby for entertainment.
However, the changing station should be kept fairly neat so
neither you nor your child’s attention on this quality time
goes out the window.

A SAFER BASE
Safety
Remember to always consider safety when furnishing,
and generally only buy EU-safety approved furniture.
Also, furniture that can fall over should be fastened to
the walls with fittings. Shelf brackets should be of the
sturdy kind that can handle both the weight of boxes full
of toys as well as detouring child mountaineers.

A SAFER BASE
- a guide to a healthier children’s room
Children use far more time in their rooms than adults do in any other room of the house. This is why it is even more
important to make sure that it is not unhealthy for them to play and sleep in their rooms. Some things you will have to
consider before you furnish. Other things need to be considered when choosing or buying items and toys. And then
there are things you will need to do every day. There can be consequences by not doing anything, but luckily doing
small things makes a big difference as long as you know where to make an effort. In this guide, we focus on some of
the things you should remember when you shop for, furnish, decorate and maintain a healthy children’s room.
Sources: The Ecological Council and other
Dust in the room
As you know, textiles give off dust. The more blankets,
curtains, clothing and bedding you have laying around,
the more dust you will have. Toys and items also easily
collect dust.
You should therefore consider reducing the number of
items you have lying about e.g. by using closed storage
for everything that can collect or give off dust. That way
you have made cleaning easier as well.
You can also choose to use textiles labelled Oeko-Tex®
which is the most widespread health label concerning
textiles in the world.
Toys
You should be concerned and aware of whether your
child’s toys contain phthalates. Long term exposure to
phthalates is known for hormone disruption. This can
also happen through toys containing PVC which among
others is typically found in soft plastic products.
Hormone disruption can lead to fertility problems,
obesity, diabetes 2, behavioral problems and an increased
risk of hormone related forms of cancer among others.
Also try to avoid especially phosphor based and
brominated flame retardants that can typically be found
in foam products and electronics. These substances can
have the same hormone disrupting effects.
Decorative plants
Plants are generally great at purifying both CO2 and
particles from the air. Dirt, children and small grabby
hands is not a great combo though.
Therefore, choose plants that can hang or stand outside
of your child’s reach. Ferns and Aloe Vera are particularly
good but air plants are great as well, because they need
minimal care - less work for you.
BEFORE ANYONE MOVES IN - PREPERATION WILL GET YOU FAR
Paint
When choosing paint, you should buy water-based
paint, preferably with ecolabels such as the Nordic Swan
Ecolabel or the EU Ecolabel. These are better for the
indoor climate and for nature than other types of paints.
You also need to ventilate the room for at least a week
before anyone moves in because the paint gives off
more substances to the air while hardening.
Decorating and furnishing
Again, look for the Nordic Swan or EU Ecolabels
because they ensure that you buy furniture with a
minimum of harmful chemicals, but also because you
get more secure and durable furniture. Consider whether
you need carpets and curtains because they generally
give off more dust. Alternatively use blinds or look for
allergy friendly carpets.

EVERYDAY LIFE - THE SMALL THINGS MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Something in the air…
When you breathe, you exhale CO2. A high concentration
of CO2 in a room during the night can result in an
unrestful sleep, low power of concentration the next day
and trouble learning. Luckily, it can be helped by airing
the room three times each day - the most important time
being right before going to sleep.
Damp surroundings
The above-mentioned airing is an easy way to rid
yourselves of a damp indoor climate as well. Too much
moisture in the air can result in mold which is why you
should keep the doors closed to damp rooms such as the
bathroom and basement.
The effects on the indoor climate do not only come from The good ol’ solution

The Nordic Swan Ecolabel also has strict standards regarding

happens during production. The longer the furniture lasts, the
fewer pieces of furniture will need to be produced.
That is why the Nordic Swan Ecolabel is seen as a strong seal
of approval concerning quality, durability and recyclability.
What does it mean for you and your children?
To have the Nordic Swan Ecolabel on your furniture means
that you help sustain the forests of the world. It means that
you take responsibility and consider which chemicals you
want to keep out of your home - and out of nature. It means
you want to save the few resources we have left.
It means that you can feel safe that the furniture has been
responsibly produced with the future of your children and the
environment in mind.
The Nordic Swan Ecolabel also means that you do not have
to worry about your children’s health when they move around
on, near and in the furniture. Since they will not give off any
harmful substances it is quite alright to have a little taste. But
we must warn you: The taste is rather bland.
Especially children’s furniture has to be able to take a beating
and by choosing furniture with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel,
you are certain to get very tough and durable furniture which
can withstand the treatment only children can provide.
In other words, the Nordic Ecolabel guarantees you longlasting
quality and attention to the environment, to you, to
your children and to the future.
This article was written in collaboration with Ecolabeling Denmark.

The overlooked space
In especially small rooms, it is easier to find additional space
in the topmost part of the room than in the lower one. You
should include this space in the furnishing to use the entirety
of the room which is important when space is an issue.
Shelves and hanging bookcases are ideal for storage in height
and the top of a tall closet can be used for storing things you
don’t use that often.
“The key to creating room and space is
getting floor space. So get everything up, up
on the walls. Get some shelves on those walls
and get the mess off the floor”
– Annemette Voss, mother of 3, architect
Top 5 advice for decorating a small room
1. Use multifunctional pieces of furniture. They
save a lot of space because you get more
functions out of them.
2. Spend time finding the right storage solutions.
Mess in a small room can make it seem even
smaller.
3. Use the height of the room for storage or tall
beds to create more floor space to play on.
4. Paint the walls of the room in bright colors
that can open up a small room.
5. Furnish and decorate the room so it fits
YOUR child and get rid of everything your
child won’t use.
GOOD THINGS IN SMALL PACKAGES
- a guide for the small children’s rooms
A small children’s room can easily be a big challenge which
takes planning to solve. But if you use the right solutions, it is
far from impossible. We have gathered a bunch of thoughts,
you can consider if you have ahead of you the challenge of
decorating and furnishing a great children’s room on a limited
amount of square meters.
Your child does not come in a standard size
No matter the size, the children’s room should be furnished
so it fits your child. A desk is no good if your child would
rather play on the tablet or run around the house dressed as a
princess. Nobody knows your child like you, and your child of
course, and you both know which toy is the favorite and how
the time is best spent.
Especially in small children’s rooms, you can’t just use
whichever piece of furniture you want if there is even a
chance it won’t be used. You have to be economical about the
space and settle for only the things that bring joy to your child.
“Does he play with trains and a race track? Then
I would never invest in wall closets and boxes for
small things. Then I would choose big, fat floor
boxes with wheels that can be moved and contain
all the huge parts for the race and train tracks”
- Sine Grenaa, mother of 2, interior designer
At the same time, halfhigh, midhigh and high beds are great
solutions for using the overlooked space. They stand tall and
create room beneath themselves which can easily be made
into hideouts, storage space, floor space, or a place to put a
desk if your child needs that.
Quality over quantity
If you furnish with multifunctional furniture, you get more
functions in less space. There are a number of ways to do
this, which can include either built-in functions or a ’normal’
piece of furniture made into a multifunctional piece of
furniture. For instance it can be a bed which is also a sofa and
a playground, or a bed which also has storage space.
If you decide to build something yourselves, it can save space
and create more functions in less space as well. It can be
a staircase to the bed made from book cases, a bed placed
on top of two dressers or something else entirely. Let your
imagination run wild!
However we will strongly encourage you to consider the safety
of your child when both building furniture and in general.

THE HOUSE BED
The Housebed is both very simple in the design – and
gives a strong, graphic expression in the room.It can be
decorated in endless ways: It can be either the nicest cave
or a small piece of art.
With decorations on the bed or on the wall behind, you
can create a “room in the room”, so the bed will be like a
peaceful oasis in the middle of the children’s room.
TIP!
Decorate the bed with lots of pillows, cozy
plaids and fairy lights to add even more
atmosphere to the room
The bed comes in two sizes – 90x200 cm and 70x160 cm
and in two colors – white and grey. You can add drawers
under the bed to store bedding or toys. For the 90x200 cm
bed, a pull-out bed can also be added to make room for
overnight guests.
The Housebeds carry the Nordic Swan Ecolabel and is
safety tested. The beds are made of solid, FSC® (FSC-
C109484)-certified wood and the surface treated with water
based lacquer.

Adding a curtain to the House bed will make the bed resemble an actual

somewhere in the middle.

COZINESS IN THE HEIGHTS
- about the halfhigh and midhigh beds
When children see a half or midhigh bed, they do
not just see a piece of furniture. Instead, they see a
hideout, a space ship, a fairytale world or a playground.
They get a great feeling of independence by having
to climb to bed and can use the bed – or the space
beneath it – as a personal space when they need a
break.
The half and midhigh beds are great for small
bedrooms where extra space is often needed and can
more easily be found in the topmost part of the room.
A bed raised off the floor gives more floor space and
the space beneath the bed can be fitted with one of
our many universe curtains which transform it into an
imaginative hideout. Here, your child can relax or be
read to in magical surroundings.
Does the height of the bed concern you?
Some parents wonder whether the height might
cause problems for their child and for the practical
activities in everyday life. They have concerns whether
their child might fall out of the bed or if it might get
difficult to change the bedding.
Many parents – especially the ones who are ”vertically
challenged” – solve the problem by having a small
step ladder or stool for practical purposes.
But is your child really safe in that tall bed? The guard
rails of Hoppekids beds are very durable because they
are attached firmly to the beds. This means that the
rail will guard even an unruly sleeper and it supports
your child when he or she climbs in and out of the
bed.
A half or midhigh bed gives you the best of both
worlds because the height allows for playtime or a
hideout under the bed but the bed is still low enough
for you, the parents, to reach into.
The child grows… and the bed does too!
Do you think the bed might be too tall for your child
at the moment? Then you can just save the half or
midhigh-module for when your child is ready for it. Both
the half and the midhigh beds come in divisible versions
which means you can change the height of the beds to
correspond to your child’s – and your – changing needs.
If your child gets bored with the half or midhigh bed,
you can just remove the module again.
Somewhere between high and low
The difference between the midhigh and the halfhigh
beds is that the midhigh beds are a little bit taller than the
halfhigh. Other than that, the midhigh only comes in a
90x200 cm-version.
The extra height actually makes a big difference. Especially
for older children, the few extra centimeters might be the
difference between whether the space beneath the bed is a
hideout or an extra room in the room. By using the midhigh
module, you get space for furniture like a desk or a children’s
set of chairs and a table. This gives you better options for
furnishing and for using your imagination beneath the bed.
Create a cozy cave-like atmosphere under the
mid- or halfhigh bed by hanging a curtain in
front of it. Decorate with fairy lights, a mattress,
pillows and pictures. Perfect for goodnight
stories and other cozy cave activities.

GUIDE: CHOOSE THE RIGHT BED
BASIC Junior bed 70x160 cm with ladder
|Bean bag and pillows from the universe Dinosaur
| Jonas desk and drawer on wheels | PETER bookshelf
SIZE DOES MATTER
A great place to start is to decide what mattress size you
would like in your new bed. The two most common sizes
are 70x160 cm and 90x200 cm.
Size 70x160 cm is a great little size. The change from a
crib to a junior bed can be somewhat insecure for some
children, because they are not used to having so much
space in the bed.
It is also an excellent size for smaller rooms because
it does not take up much floor space. The bed is large
enough for an average sized 8-year-old. By then it is time
to decorate the room for a pre-teen anyway.
Here you can see how a BASIC halfhigh bed looks in size 90x200
(above) and 70x160 (below). Both beds are 105 cm tall.
Size 90x200 cm is great because your child will have lots
of room to grow while also allowing you to lie down
comfortably next to your child.
If you are considering changing the bed to a high bed or
bunk bed in the future, 90x200 cm is the size for you as it
will leave you with the best options for rebuilding.
GUIDE: CHOOSE THE RIGHT BED
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND?
Since you are reading these pages we assume that you, like many
others, are looking for inspiration on the multitude of possibilities
that are available when it comes to children’s beds. Or perhaps you
are just uncertain whether you have already found the right bed?
This guide will take you through what we believe are the most
important things to consider when choosing a bed.
Enjoy – and should you need more information, all of our retailers
are more than happy to help you out!

The modular bed system enables you to rebuild the bed – you can
always change your mind!
This questions might be difficult to answer because who
can tell the future? We cannot, but our experience tells
us that if you are thinking about rebuilding the bed to
e.g. a halfhigh, bunk bed, high bed or other models it
will be worth your while to choose a series or model that
support this from the beginning.
Modular bed systems are cleverly designed for the
modules to be exchanged or removed without you
having to exchange the entire bed. Not only is it easy
for you to change your mind, but it is also sustainable
because most of the resources are spend producing the
‘sleeping area’ on a bed rather than e.g. the high legs.
Hoppekids’s BASIC collection offers a good selection
of standard possibilities while the PREMIUM collection
offers an almost infinite number of beds, extensions and
accessories.

GUIDE: CHOOSE THE RIGHT BED
GUIDE: CHOOSE THE RIGHT BED
WHAT TYPE IS YOUR CHILD?
It can be a difficult task to choose a bed. To help you, we have described different types of children and our
suggestion for their perfect bed.
PREMIUM Junior bed 90x200 cm with drawers .
|Pillows from the universe Dinosaur |JONAS desk and set of drawers.
For those with a high ceiling
If you are lucky to have a high ceiling, and are comfortable
with your child crawling into bed, we suggest looking
into our higher beds because they add valuable floor
space to the room.
The space under the bed can instead be used for storage,
work space, a cozy cave or ’just’ extra floor space for the
race cars and princess castles.
For those without much room
It requires a super parent to decorate a small bedroom.
In a small room you have to be extra careful in your
choice in furniture - and especially beds – because they
quickly take up most of the space.
We recommend a bed with a small mattress size which
takes up less floor space or that you choose a higher bed
which will give you extra space under the bed. You can
read our guide on recorating small bedrooms on page 40.
For the grounded
If your child feels most comfortable near the ground
the perfect choice would be a junior bed. There might
not be a lot of room under the bed but you can fit either
some spacious drawers or a pull-out bed. Besides, you
can always purchase a heightening module for the bed if
your child suddenly feels like climbing.
SO UHM...DOES IT HAVE ANY ACCESSORIES?
You probably won’t find a bed with built-in air condition
or ice-cream maker, but our extensive list of accessories
will help you modify the bed to fit your needs.
Both of our collections - BASIC and PREMIUM - have
a large number of security rails – both removable and
fastened. We offer slides for halfhigh beds as well as
storage solutions and pull-out beds for the junior and
bunk bed. The PREMIUM collection also has slanted
ladders and handles to make the climb to bed even safer.
For the cave dweller
Is the dream scenario to play hide-and-seek, build pillow
forts and snuggle up? Then we suggest a halfhigh,
midhigh or bunk bed. If you add a curtain and place
a mattress on the floor below the bed you will always
know where Junior is: in the bed-cave, possibly planning
to steal cookies or reading fairytales for the teddies.
For those who share and have guests
For shared rooms and for children who often have
overnight guests the optimal choice would be a solution
with two or more sleeping places in the same space as
one. For instance, a bunk bed with a pull-out bed gives
you three sleeping places without taking up extra room.
A high bed with a lounge module below creates a small
‘living room’ by day, and later you can transform the
‘sofa’ to a guest bed.
IF YOU WANT TO ADD THAT EXTRA OOMPH!
Most people go for a bed in neutral colors when buying
a bed because it makes (re)decoration much easier.
For others, however, a colorful bed is the number one
dream. Another way of adding personality and atmosphere
to a room is by decorating with pillows and textiles. The
great thing about textiles is that they make it easy to change
the style of a room. It also means that parts of a room can
work great as a hand-me-down to a smaller sibling.

THEME: SLEEP WELL!
CO-SLEEPING - YES OR NO?
Co-sleeping – when you sleep together in the same room,
in the same bed or when the child sneaks in to cuddle
during the night. This can be the best thing in the world
for some, and a nightmare for others. There isn’t enough
scientific evidence to claim co-sleeping better or worse
than sleeping alone so it’s important to figure out what fits
you the best.

One of the advantages of co-sleeping with younger
children is that you do not need to move too far away
from bed to feed or comfort the child. This makes it easier
for you to return to your sleep. There are, however, many
things to consider when co-sleeping in the same bed as a
small child. The child should not be placed between you
and everyone in the bed needs plenty of space.
Children can experience comfort and an increased
confidence in the surrounding world when co-sleeping
with parents or siblings. Listening to a loved one’s breath
or feeling his/her heart beat, as well as the sensation of
lying close make the child feel protected and stimulate the
hormone oxytocin, which increases the child’s confidence
in the world. Co-sleeping also creates a lovely bond
between parents and children.
It is important to point out that the bond between you
and your child as well as the confidence in the world can
be established, even though the child is sleeping in his/her
own room. Just make sure to support the feeling of safety
by showing your child that you are nearby, even though
he/she is alone in the room. Some parents choose to lie
in the bed as the child is falling asleep. These things paired
with the opportunity to sneak in for a cuddle during the
night or in the mornings give you many of the benefits of
co-sleeping.
One of the biggest disadvantages of co-sleeping is that
multiple people in one bed can interrupt your sleep as you
can be disturbed several times during the night. If you
choose co-sleeping you should make sure your bed can
fit many people at once and that everyone has their own
pillow and duvet.
This creates the best possibility for everyone to regulate
e.g. temperature during the night and thereby control their
own comfort. As a parent you should also consider grown
up time as part of considering co-sleeping. Make sure
you still have the opportunity to spend time together and
consider your needs. Your relationship is still important,
even though your children’s needs are first priority.

stages more efficiently, which makes you able to survive children it is far less, but it increases as they age.
Stage 3 – the deep sleep
If you have ever been awoken from deep sleep you will
most likely recognize a feeling of being groggy and
confused. The brain can spend up to thirty minutes at
half power before it finally wakes up.
It is in the deep sleep where most things happen with
your body. The body will restore skin, hair, nails and cells,
improve your immune system, regulate your metabolism
and repair damages. Children also produce growth
hormones during the deep sleep, to ensure that the body
grows and develops.
It is also during this stage where you might pee in bed or
walk and talk in your sleep.
Stage 4 – REM sleep
The REM sleep, or Rapid Eye Movement, is the stage
where the brain repeats your experiences and the things
you learn. The brain is very active and will cut off the
signal to your muscles. The only movement is the eyes
moving back and forth behind your eye-lids. Children
experience REM sleep from when they are 6 months old.
During the REM sleep the brain will store all the things
you have learned and experienced during the day. It will
move everything from the short-term memory to the
long-term memory.
This is an important stage as it will help your child
experience a constant progress in the development of
motor-skills, establish relations to his/her surroundings,
recognize grandma and grandpa and much, much more.
We dream in this stage but we are also easy to wake up.
This is why you might find yourself waking up in the
middle of a dream.
Because the REM sleep is where we process our learnings,
it can explain children’s large need for sleep, as they have a
steep learning curve for various skills in a very short span
of time. An adult spend approximately 20-25 % of the
night in the REM stage, but sleeps far less than a child.
A child can spend up to 50% of the time asleep in the
REM stage.
The need for REM sleep decreases during the first year
but does not reach 25% until adulthood.

With the impressive measurement of 95 x 97 cm
these drawers will store (almost) everything you

the front of the drawer is always aligned with the side

DELUXE is the classic sofa bed with a modern twist.
To create the highest comfort and quality we have paid careful attention
to all details of the DELUXE bed. All beds are available in 90x200 cm.
The design is timeless and the exchangeable bed ends are available in
several different heights. This makes makes DELUXE perfect for any
room – even those with slanted walls. The bed ends are available in two
designs: MAJA, which is even, and NOAH, which has grooves.
The accessories for DELUXE is carefully chosen and has a focus on
optimizing the space beneath the bed. The big, wide drawers are as deep
as the bed. They come with or without an inserted division. The pull-out
bed with built-in drawers is available in two different sizes: 90x160 cm,
which utilizes the depth of the bed and 70x190, which is great if you do
not have a lot of room in front of the bed. Both drawers and pull-out
beds utilize the entire height under the bed.
The moveable security rail makes DELUXE a great bed for smaller
children, because the security rail can be removed during the day and
once the child no longer needs the added protection. The molded bed
frame with flexible slats adds comfort and adjusts itself to the child’s
body – even in periods with growing spurts.

THEME: STORAGE
THEME: STORAGE
Space for storage is alfa and omega in a children’s room. It keeps the dust in or out, gives you floor space and an
overview but most importantly, it helps you keep the room tidy! Storage comes in many forms, shapes and heights
which is why you will be able to get everything stored just right for your children’s room.
Warding your robes
The timeless, smart CHRISTIAN with four large
drawers gives you many possibilities for storage.
CHRISTIAN can have a long life, because you can
use it both as a dresser and as a changing station.
The removable top makes it easy to decorate a “big
kid’s room” when your child stops using diapers and
the content of the drawers will simply be replaced
with clothes and toys.
The HANS wardrobe stands tall at 169 cm but the
space is well used with three broad shelves and two
large drawers. You can use HANS with a curtain,
two lovely doors or as a bookshelf.
The wardrobe is a storage classic. It is available in a practical and cleverly designed two- or three- door version. The depth
of 65 cm gives plenty of room to store clothes, toys and anything else you would like to store behind closed doors. Both
versions come with a hanger rail, spacious drawers and deep, wide shelves and you can purchase extra shelves if needed.

If you want a versatile piece of furniture for storage

storage space and the top surface is large enough to
use as a playing table.
The question is: What would you like to use it for?
Where do you hide your child treasures? In your toy
chest, of course! The chest is pretty (and) practical
and can easily contain piles of toy treasures. Because
of its wheels, it can easily be moved around which
is practical if you have to redecorate the room. The
chest also has rounded off notch handles and soft
close that make it harder for fingers to get caught
when the lid is closing.

Storey
Childhood treasures. The small,
seemingly worthless trinkets and items
a child collects all the way through
childhood. The favourite teddy, the rock from
that special place, the weird stick found in the
forest near grandma’s and that picture you took
on your vacation last summer. Oh, and of
course: Lots and lots of toys. This is the essence
of Storey: Childhood memories – and storage,
rolled up in one.

THE ROOM THAT TELLS A STOREY
Storey is the new storage system from Hoppekids. It is flexible and
therefore can accommodate all kinds of children’s rooms and fit
your exact needs.
The true heroes in the children’s room are the toys and the teddy
bears, the holiday pictures and that thingy you found in the forest
in the fall. That’s why Storey is kept in a simple and clean design
because it helps to highlight all the things you like. Storey is therefore
the perfect “showcase” for all the colorful toys.
The many combinations and accessories for Storey make it a longlasting
and sustainable solution because the storage system can
evolve as your child’s needs develop. For example, you can add a
desk to get a workspace or you can add a bed to get a lounge area
in the room.
The system is built one subject at a time. Two subjects share a side
and therefore take up less waste than two shelves that stand next to
each other. Shelves and other accessories can be places at any height
you want – because there are 56 different positions on the shelves.
Everything it fixed, giving a stable and durable storage system.
The design for Storey fits perfectly with other Hoppekids furniture
and especially the BASIC series.
STOREY with desk - 100 cm wide and 90x200 flatbed.
TIP!
Make Storey fit perfectly in the
room by mixing different widths.
If you add a bed or a desk, you

room with plenty of floor space
for play and trouble making!
One for every size!
Storey is available in width 80 cm and 100 cm. You
can mix and match and thereby decide the total
width of your Storey. With 56 posistions for shelves
and support bars, you really can fit nearly everything
in your Storey and let the desk keep up with your
child’s growth!
Easy to use locking system
The smart and easy-to-use locking system allows you
to quickly build and re-arrange your Storey. Shelves,
desk and other accessories are easily and securely
fastened to the side-support. It’s really as easy as
tightening a screw! Just be sure to lock all of them,
it’s the secret to building this, after all.
This shelf refuses to tip!
Ususally, the whole idea of not tipping
is frown upon, but when dealing with
tall shelves in a child’s room it’s pretty
important. Of course, any Storey
combination comes with easy to mount
and adjust security features.
Desk-ception...
Is it a fantastic new invention? Not really, but it is probably your child’s
new favourite place. The desk module can be placed at any height, making
it perfect for a work station - or maybe the world’s coolest engineering lab
or fashion designer office!

Beds can also be space efficient which is practical when
you need two of them. You can do this by choosing
halfhigh, high or bunk beds with space beneath the
top bunk for either playtime or a sibling. Junior beds
with slightly smaller measurements, 70x160 cm, are
also worth considering. They can give you more floor
space than a regular sized bed, and can also be found in
different taller versions.
Efficient furnishing is also about vertical storage. Shelves,
bookcases and room dividers are great at making use of
the topmost space for the essential storage of toys or
other important items.
1+1 CAN EQUAL 3
- a guide to a great shared children’s room
There can be many reasons for having a shared
children’s room in your home.
Perhaps you want a room for playtime and another for
sleeping in. Maybe a shared room is necessary because
you need space. Sometimes children just don’t want to
sleep alone and at other times a shared room is a great
way to teach children some valuable life skills.
We have gathered a bunch of considerations that can
help you if you are about to put two children in one
room or are considering it.
One times two or two times one?
The first thing to consider is who you are furnishing
and decorating for. Is it two social dress-up
whippersnappers or an introvert tech geek and an
outgoing adventurer? The room has to be able to hold
two – perhaps different – personalities.
You should take a look at your children and what
individual and common needs they have and furnish
the room with that in mind. The distribution of space
doesn’t necessarily have to be equal – though still fair
– if for instance one child would rather play in your
living room anyway.
Top 5 advice decorating a shared room
1. Consider the children’s personal needs when
you furnish. Often, you don’t have room for
unnecessary pieces of furniture.
2. Create spaces in the room where the children can
be by themselves but also spaces where they can
be social.
3. A clear division of toys in the room will give you
fewer misunderstandings concerning ownership.
4. Decide whether the children’s clothes or toys can
be stored in another room.
5. Try the shared room for a period of time even
though you don’t have to. It might be great!
If you read our article “Good things come in small
packages” on page 40 concerning furnishing a small
children’s room, you can get great tips on making use of
a room’s every centimeter.
An advantageous room
Having a shared room is not just a long series of
challenges and battles. There are a lot of advantages
having your brother or sister close at hand.
First and foremost, a large room can feel even larger
when you yourself are a bit small and especially smaller
children can find comfort in having a sibling sleeping in
the same room. With a little practice, the children can
learn to sleep even though another person is moving
around or if there is light in the room. This is very
handy later in life. And you almost always have a
playmate nearby!
Having a shared room, your children also have a head
start in learning to compromise and sharing their stuff.
Because when you share a room, you have to be able
to share your things and learn that you can’t always get
your way.
”I like that they’re learning to take
responsibility for each other’s and our
common things”
- Annemette Voss, mother of 3
Efficient furniture
If space is an issue, it is necessary to furnish efficiently
and make use of every bit of space in the room.
Efficient furnishing can be using multifunctional
pieces of furniture which for instance is a bench with
storage in it. It can also be by using foldable furniture
or pieces of furniture that can be hid away so you get
that valuable floor space for playtime when you need it.
”It contributes to strengthening the bond
between siblings, and they become good at
sharing their toys and perhaps even better at
playing together”
- Sine Grenaa, mother of 2

children firsthand.
We support several local football clubs in Denmark
because they are a fantastic symbol on all the volunteers
in the world who put a lot of energy and time in helping.
Not just helping the local communities, but also helping
the children and those who have a difficult life. At
Hammerum Special Olympics it is the weekly exercise
and the volunteer’s efforts that help their disabled players
to create a better, healthier life with more friendships.
The children’s self-esteem is boosted because the team
allows for anyone to participate regardless of skill level.
Consequently, this also means that bullying is virtually
non-existing.
”It motivates when you can see the passion
in the eyes of those who create a real
difference first hand. Feel their gratitude for
helping them. This boosts their motivation
and power to do even more”
René Stenvang, founder of Hoppekids
We believe that the big changes in sustainability come
from a multitude of small changes in our day to day
life. By changing the small things and helping where you
can. Because, if each of us makes a small contribution
whenever we can, find the passion in ourselves, and
give more than we take, then we can work together on
making the future even better – for us and our children.
Sustainability is not just a word – it is action
The Hoppekids Sustainable Entrepreneurship Award
was founded for the celebration of Latvia’s 100 years
anniversary in 2018 in connection with the visit of the
HRH Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark. The purpose
of the award is to promote sustainable development
among entrepreneurs in Latvia and support a specific
sustainable business or product development that will
lead to improved sustainable development. Supporting
sustainable development is important to us at Hoppekids,
as this is part of creating a ripple effect, clearing the way
for a better and more sustainable tomorrow.

Where to start?
If we want to change the world, we have to start with
ourselves. That is why we have worked on optimizing our
company and our products. By producing FSC® (FSC-
C109484)--certified and Nordic Swan Ecolabeled furniture
and textiles from Oeko-Tex® certified piece goods we make
a difference in safety and health in the children’s room.
Through the furniture we support the environment and
sustainability in the world where our children are growing
up.
”I want to reach a place where our support
works as a lever for other people’s ideas and
commitment and motivate more to help”
René Stenvang, founder of Hoppekids
We are sustainable together
It is our hope that our help, support and sustainable
initiatives create ripples in the surface and inspire people
to do the same – regardless of how much or how little
one is able to do. We are strongest if we stand together
to help and support each other with carrying the load.

”Every time we sell a bed,
we ensure healthier children’s
rooms, more forest in the
world and help more children
to a better life.”
Hoppekids is currently the only company producing baby beds,
junior beds and bed systems which are carrying the Nordic Swan
Ecolabel. It’s such a pleasure collaborating with the Nordic Swan
Ecolabel because it means we take the utmost care of both the
environment, durability, and indoor climate.
In this catalogue you can read articles on decorating the children’s
room, what the Nordic Swan Ecolabel means for you and your
children, and get to know us a bit better.Welcome to a universe
of heart and soul!
