#1 - Auto-Stop Recliner Function
Kuka KM.5065 Full Top Grain Leather Electrical Recliner Sofa 2/3-Seater
Kuka's electrical recliners are made to withstand daily use. The American famed Leggett&Platt reclining mechanism is securely fitted in the solid wood larch frame. To recline, simply press the button or touch sensor to activate. Your headrest and footrest will slowly move into position, and you can stop the motion anytime to lock the angle. Unlike manual recliners which will recline into a standard angle, elderlies can simply adjust to the position they're most comfortable in for safety. The buttons are also placed at the side of the armrest for easy reach. Manual recliners with strong springs that push out the leg rest suddenly can pose a danger to younger children.
Furthermore, they come with a USB port to charge your phone while on the sofa. It's a super neat series that everyone needs in their home. Shop the wide range of Kuka top grain leather sofas, recliners and lounge chairs now!
#2 - Singapore's Safest Bunk Beds
Americana Solid Wood Single and Super Single Bunk Beds
Our bunk beds are engineered with safety furniture design as a top priority. Crafted from solid Malaysian oak, they provide exceptional strength and stability, ensuring long-lasting durability. We adhere to the strictest US and EU safety standards, so you can rest easy knowing your children are safe. Unlike bunk beds with wooden slats, which can bend or break under growing weight, our beds come with a sturdy wooden plank base that prevents accidents, especially for those on the bottom bunk.
In addition to their safety, our bunk beds are highly functional. They are designed with flexibility in mind, offering the ability to separate into two individual single or super single beds. This thoughtful feature aligns with safety furniture design standards, allowing parents to adapt the bed setup as their children grow. With this versatility, you essentially get two beds for the price of one, making it a practical and cost-effective solution for growing families.
Our bunk beds are also designed to pair perfectly with Inkagu, our brand of natural latex foam mattresses. The combination of safe, sturdy bunk beds and comfortable mattresses reflects our commitment to safety furniture design. These mattresses are ideal for bunk beds, offering excellent support and pressure relief, ensuring that your children not only sleep safely but also comfortably, night after night.
#3 - Anti Dust Mite And Dual Protection
Cheeky Bon Bon Baby Cot Waterproof Fitted Crib Sheet 60cmx120cmx12.5cm
Our baby bedsheets are the easiest to care for and provide maximum protection for both your baby and their mattress. Using advanced European technology, we’ve embossed a waterproof and anti-dust mite membrane on the underside of the sheets. This ensures that spills, like milk or diaper leaks, won’t soak through and damage your baby’s bed. The waterproof barrier gives you peace of mind, knowing that your baby’s mattress stays dry and clean, no matter what.
Cleaning is simple, making life easier for busy parents. When there’s dirt or mess, just toss the sheets in the washing machine with your regular detergent. There’s no need for special care routines or harsh chemicals. These baby bedsheets are also dryer-friendly, so you can quickly get them ready for use again. Their easy care design helps keep your baby’s sleeping environment clean, fresh, and allergen-free.
Aligned with our focus on safety furniture design, these bedsheets work in harmony with our baby mattresses, ensuring a snug fit and comprehensive protection. This attention to detail ensures that your baby’s mattress stays protected from stains and dust mites, providing a safe, hygienic, and comfortable sleeping space for your little one.
#4 - Food Safe Dining Table Material

Our engineered wood table tops are designed to withstand the rigors of daily life, offering exceptional resistance to heat, scratches, warping, and moisture. Whether you're serving hot dishes or hosting family dinners, these table tops provide a durable, worry-free surface that maintains its pristine look over time. Built with quality in mind, they offer the strength and stability needed for long-term use, without the maintenance concerns often associated with natural wood.

In addition to their durability, our engineered wood table tops are food-safe, making them ideal for families who prioritize hygiene and safety. You can confidently prepare and serve meals directly on the surface, knowing it won’t release harmful chemicals. This combination of resilience and safety makes our table tops not only functional but also a healthy choice for any dining area.

#5 - Cushy Padded Chairs For Longer Seating
Custom Solid Oak Wood Dining Chair - Essence Arm Chair (CH6201)
#6 - Soft Close and Anti-Slam Safety Furniture Design
Customizable 6-Door Tatami Storage Beds
Nobody likes loud bangs in the house, moreover fingers getting slammed on drawers or doors. Being furniture experts, we foresaw that it would be an issue with our lift up panels on the tatami bed, so we added a soft close hydraulic mechanism that would solve this problem! This is also a prominent feature in most of our solid wood furniture, from nightstands to chests of drawers and console tables. A mark of premium furniture that can't be missed.
We also have other tatami bed configurations that mix drawers and lift up panels, or you can customize your own.
#7 - Anti-Chip Hardwood Cots
Cheeky Bon Bon Clover Convertible Cot
At Picket&Rail Baby&Kids, we strongly discourage the use of pine wood for baby cots due to its properties as a softwood. Pine is a low-density wood, meaning its porous nature easily absorbs moisture from the environment, making it prone to mold and bacteria growth. This can lead to rotting wood, which is not something you want to deal with when it comes to your baby’s safety and health.
Instead, all our baby cots are crafted from solid rubber wood, a durable hardwood known for its strength and longevity. Rubber wood is not only more resistant to moisture, but it is also an environmentally friendly choice. As Singapore’s No. 1 Solid Wood Retailer, we take wood quality seriously, ensuring that your baby’s furniture is safe, durable, and built to last. With our commitment to superior materials, you can trust that your child’s safety and comfort are our top priorities.
#8 - Cordless Blinds, Safe For Children
You don't have to give up on aesthetics once you have a little one in the house. Parents opt for curtains because they're without cords, making them the safer choice albeit a dirtier one. Our Korean blinds, Winus, overcomes this by offering a cordless adjusting option, which only consists of a beaded string that you can pull to the height you desire. Using patented technology, the blinds have a UV-protection coating to protect your interiors and skin alongside antibacterial effects. So neat!
#9 - Soften The Hard Floor
The ground is the safest place, but extra padding is needed when your little one gets rowdy with their toys. A carpet can do just the trick - it softens the floor, the material feels silky, and highly stain resistant. Instead of purchasing the unsustainable plastic foam floor tiles, an eco-friendly carpet would suffice.
Our carpets have silk threads interlaced with high-resilience grade polyester to ensure long lasting use while being easy to maintain. It's fire rated and great for pets and kids at home. We've got lots of modern and contemporary design selections available.
#10 - Prevent SIDS Easily
Cheeky Bon Bon Multicare II Baby Mattress
Did you know that Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) causes 90.1 deaths per 100,000 live births in the US? It's more common than we think. You can skimp on some things, but baby cots and mattresses are not one of those. Purchasing it from a popular and trusted brand can reduce your worries in the long run.
Cheeky Bon Bon is Singapore's favourite bedding brand since 1993. The Multicare II mattress is made specifically to prevent suffocation while your baby is sleeping or playing. Layered foams provides soft cushioning that does not sink. It has two reversible sides: latex foam top which is firmer and cooler, best for newborns and hot days; memory foam bottom is softer and warmer for cooler days, when your baby has strength in their neck (around one and half age mark).
