Children grow up quickly, and here are the parents of the baby who (just yesterday) felt fine in the crib that is in his room, are faced with the fact - the berth of the child has become small for him and needs to be replaced. Considering that the modern choice of furniture, including children's furniture, is striking in its assortment, this is not an easy task. The size of children's beds, their material, shape and other parameters can plunge moms and dads into a state of mild stupor, so it is advisable to decide what exactly you need, even before coming to the salon.
main parameters
The material is undoubtedly important. The most suitable raw material is natural wood, coated with varnish or special paint. The surface of the furniture should be easy to wash, and the model itself should have rounded corners, because a rare child does not like to jump on the bed. It doesn’t matter what size baby cots can fit in a child’s room, because even if you choose the largest, the baby will certainly fall from it a couple of times during sleep. To prevent this, pay attention to such models that have special sides on the sides. Backs are preferable integral, but not shtaketny. Even if you are sure that your child is already an adult for such experiments, this will not prevent him from sticking his head between the slats and, as an option, getting stuck and scared.
Size matters
Another important selection option is the size of the cots, it is not very practical to buy a new one every 2-3 years, so it is better to take it with a margin immediately. If you do not live in a multi-meter mansion, then figure out exactly where you will put the new acquisition, how the rest of the furniture will be located, and measure which space you are ready to allocate for a sleeping place. Today, there is the so-called transformer furniture, which will "grow" with its small owner. The standard size of children's beds is 60 * 120 or 70 * 140. With such dimensions, you will definitely never have problems buying sleeping accessories: a mattress or linen. However, at the same time, furniture models with other parameters are produced, so if in your case three to five centimeters play a role, it is better to ask the seller about the dimensions of the sofa or sofa that you liked. Beds with dimensions of 127 * 72 cm, 120 * 70, 115 * 72 are also common. It is these beds that are presented by furniture manufacturers as options for children. Parameters 127 * 69 or 115 * 55, 112 * 60 are a little less common. If the bed is equipped with a side, then its height ranges from 28 to 35 cm, which provides reliable protection from night "flights". Sizes from 75 * 180 to 160 * 200 cm are already considered teenage. If none of the proposed size options suits you, then you can order a bed according to individual requirements.
Convenient details
To save space and organize order in the room, a bed with drawers is well suited . The nursery, the dimensions of which are not large and do not allow it to be equipped with a large amount of furniture, only benefits from such “storages”. Boxes are most often located under a berth and are used for storing bedding during the day. They can be located in one row, or in two or even three. However, there are options in which the boxes look like a pedestal attached to the bed, or one of the backs is formed from them. If the footage of the room does not limit the choice of crib, it’s quite possible to purchase an adult model of a berth. This option will be appropriate for children from 5-6 years old, in addition, many preschoolers are even proud that they sleep "just like adults."
Not just a bed
If space needs to be used economically and rationally, then another practical idea from furniture designers will come to the rescue - an attic bed. The dimensions and components of this design will allow you to choose the best option for any number of square meters. Most often they are consonant with the parameters of a berth of low models: 127 * 72, 120 * 70, 140 * 70. But the height ranges from 1.5 meters to 2. Under such a berth there may be a work area with a table and shelves, a wardrobe or even a sports corner. Often a ladder leading to a bed is made of drawers in which you can hide bedding, toys or seasonal clothes. That is, instead of an ordinary bed, the child receives his own small world, where you can sleep, play, and take lessons. In addition, the kids really like that the sleeping area is located high above the floor. Such beds should have limiters to prevent falling in a dream.
