Baby bed with drawers and side

Children's beds Today, they are undergoing a huge number of design changes and accessories for greater convenience. Boxes, sections, sides - all these elements have one goal - the comfort and safety of the child’s bed. At the same time, the playing space of the room is significantly freed.

Standard cots sizes make up 140 * 170 or 150 * 80 centimeters. The need to protect the children's bed is necessary because the little ones are spinning in their sleep, and the least that can happen is the loss of the blanket and pillow. Worst of all, the child may be on the floor and even get injured. Therefore, the bumpers for the kids - more a necessity than a design excess.

The sides can be:

• Removable - can vary to the required length and be located only in a certain part of the edge of the bed: in the middle, not reaching the middle of the length, angular.
• Fixed - usually low - about 3-5 centimeters from the edge of the bed and are located around the perimeter.

Drawers can be located either bottom or side. Usually they are designed for storing bedding - blankets, linen, pillows, and essentials for the child.

These beds have their strengths and weaknesses.

Pros:

• Safety - the child is protected from falls;
• Ergonomics - the expansion of the playing space, due to the compact arrangement of the boxes;
• Beauty - the design of the boxes and sides allows you to hang your favorite toys, stickers and pictures on them;
• Convenience - if the child is suddenly cold, he will not have to run to his parents, but simply look into one of his boxes and get the necessary things.

Minuses:

• The danger of hitting the side;
• Between the slats of the lattice sides, the hand or foot of the child may be stuck;
• A solid rim creates a feeling of closure, which is not pleasant to all children;
• In the locker, the child can store things that distract from sleep - books, toys, as a result - a long bedtime and sleep deprivation.

The cot can be made of different materials:

• Solid wood - the eco-friendly breathing material, takes the first places at the choice of children's furniture. It keeps warm well and is easy to clean. For curious children who test everything on a tooth, it will not do harm due to its naturalness, unless, of course, it is covered with paints and varnish. The best species - alder, birch, maple, beech. But for the high quality and have to pay more.

• Chipboard choose for a low price. But the material contains formaldehyde, the evaporation of which adversely affects the children's body - headaches, shortness of breath, tearfulness and irritation. It is better to air the bed first. For safety and odor protection, pressed wood is coated with a thin layer of plywood or laminate flooring. They have water repellency.

• Plastic possesses high heat conductivity. Plastic is harmless only with high-quality processing. Therefore, when choosing such a bed, forgive the seller a certificate of quality.

• Iron - material rare, but also used. The sides are easy to attach to it, but this material is not suitable for a baby bed - it repels dark and cold and brings discomfort to the child.

1. Single tier - classic simple cot with built-in bumpers.

2. Bunk - for two kids. In such a bed, the sides can be for both beds, or only for the upper one, here the side is a must. This can be attributed, and pull-out beds.The second berth is under the main one and rolls out, so a low and safe construction is obtained.

3. Loft bed - comfortable corner for the child. The bed itself is located above the lockers and the table, which saves space in the room. A side for such bed - the main component.

4. With drawers - drawers are located under the bed. They can store bedding or children's toys.

5. With a chest of drawers - is located on the side and is well suited for teaching a child to order. In the chest you can store baby clothes and favorite toys.

6. Sliding - “grows” with your child. Despite the high price - it is a savings. With such a bed, you will not have to purchase several beds as your child grows.

In addition, the sides can be removable and non-removable, they differ in material and design of execution.

Design:

• With cartoon characters. Perhaps the favorite children's version - cars, princesses, animals.
• Lattices - the classic version. The lattice can be both transverse and longitudinal. To avoid injury and jams, it is important to note that the gap between the slats should be 4-6 centimeters.
• The sides in the middle of the length - the side holds the child, you can hang your favorite toys on it, make a fabric shelf-pocket.
• Angular - option for older children. The child does not feel closed, but at the same time the restraining device performs its function.

Having picked up the necessary eco-friendly material, inspect the corners of the bed. Baby bed should not have a sharp and hard outlines.

The number and location of the boxes depends on your desire and need.

Do not forget about the right mattress. Ideally, this is a rigid base without a pillow or with a slight rise of hypoallergenic materials.

The main thing in the choice will be your child: no matter how safe and beautiful the bed is to your taste, it may not seem so to him.

The location of the bed depends on the size of your nursery and its type. If there is not enough space, then it is better to place the bed near the free wall and purchase it with built-in drawers and a chest of drawers.

Do not equip the bed next to windows and heating systems. In the first case - the danger of drafts and bright light in the morning will disturb the sleep of the child. In the second - overheating and high temperatures will not let the child sleep well, and he will wake up with a depressed mood.
