Choosing a Montessori bed canopy supplier
What to look for in a wholesale or private-label Montessori floor-bed canopy supplier: made-to-measure sizing, drape styles, the colour palette, sampling and reorders.
Written by the Olyo team. Updated .
A good Montessori canopy supplier makes canopies to your frame size rather than one length for every bed, offers more than one drape style, works from a stable colour palette, samples before production and keeps your pattern for reorders. Ours are cut to (A + B) × 2, in five models and 24 tulle colours.
Made to measure, not one size
House-shaped floor beds vary in height and roof slope. A canopy cut to the frame reaches the floor on both sides; a one-size canopy can fall short or pile up. Ask how the supplier works out the length.
| Measurement | What it is |
|---|---|
| A | Floor to the top of the side post |
| B | Length of the roof slope, from the top of the post to the ridge |
| Length | (A + B) × 2, so the tulle reaches the floor on both sides |
| Example | 110 cm + 70 cm = 180 cm × 2 = 360 cm |
What to compare between suppliers
- Drape styles: along the long side, over the front in an A shape, fuller Premium versions or a fabric roof
- The colour palette and whether it stays the same between orders
- Whether the price includes ties or fixings, and what is not included
- Sampling before production, and who approves the sample
- Starting quantities per colour and whether colours can be mixed
- Private label: your woven label and packaging
For furniture brands
If you sell your own beds, send the frame drawings once. We keep the pattern, so you can reorder by colour without re-measuring.
Our range
Five models (Standard, A-type, Premium Standard, Premium A-type and Fabric Roof), made to your frame size in our 24-colour tulle palette, from 5 pieces per product.

Questions
Do all models use the same formula?
The Standard, A-type and Premium models use (A + B) × 2. The Fabric Roof model is confirmed with your quotation.
What width bed is the A-type made for?
The A-type canopy assumes a standard bed width of 100 cm at the short end; other widths are made on request.
