There is no rule of thumb. Your budget, the size of your bedroom and the preferences of the child sleeping in it "rules". Also, if you have an intrest in design and decor, combined with a bit of creativity, then rules can be broken.
A crib is outgrown once the child can climb out, so buy one that you can remove the sides and drop the mattress. This creates a toddler bed which you can dress up with cushions.like a day bed, but the child will be familiar with it and it is sized cozier. This can last to about 3yrs.
A single bed would follow, but here is where you can opt for bunkbeds if you want. These can be 2 singles, but what I find better is a single upper and a double lower. This is good for sleepovers, or if Mom or Dad have to lie down with the child at times. The double lower bed can be used alone and the single upper can be brought down to the floor and used in the same room or in another, when the child is older. Or you may choose to remove the lower, and to save space, put a desk or storage under the elevated bed.
A teenager may want to move up again to a queen size, or they may choose a daybed, futons or a sofa bed as their bedroom becomes more of a private living space for them and their friends..
There is no real need for a single child to have a king or a California king, unless the room is quite large and needs to be filled. In this case, there are other furniture pieces such as desks, storage, entertainment units, etc., that would probably be better accomodated...
it's perfect... (ya whatever i dont even know what your talking about)
I think you're going to spend a lot of money transitioning when it really isn't necessary. The size of the bed depends on the budget and the room, not the person (necessarily). I don't think an 80-lb ten-year-old needs a queen bed fit for a grown couple. Also keep in mind that you will be buying a lot of bedding. Typically a crib converts to a good-sized twin bed up until around age 4; after that, a twin works well until around age 12; after that, during the growth years, use a full bed.
7-10 should be full size and 12-18 should be okay with a queen. A king/california king is more for two people. And once the baby is walking, a toddler bed should be good until the age of 3-4 when they outgrow it!!
I can understand where your coming from with the sizing but you skipped some sizes I worked for a childrens furniture store for a while and an infant starts in a bassinet and then goes into a crib... after they can stand and try to climb from a crib you can put them in a toddler bed which is just a bed fram for a crib mattress... from there you can either transition them into a twin or a full size mattress... personally I slept in a twin size bed untill I was 18 and then I got my own queen size mattress there is no formula as to what is right and what is wrong... the only thing I would change is 7-12 I would say full and then 13-18+ I would say queen but I think full size is more then enough for 13-18+
