When my daughter turned 2, we went to Toys R Us and bought a toddler bed
that used the exsisting crib mattress. When she out grew that a year and a
half later, I built her a treehouse bed. Got the bed off the floor so she
had more play room and she loved it up until last year when she kept hitting
her head on the ceiling. Built it in a week using 2x wood , plywood, and
1x's

Go to a junk yard, buy a bed from an S10 or Ranger (or if you need even
smaller one of the little imports), sit it in the room and put mattress in
bed.
