Children's beds with storage boxes

Children are more active and need a large amount of free space, while they often occupy the smallest room in the whole apartment. Parents face a difficult task: to organize a full-fledged resting place and play area in this confined space, and in the case of school-age children, also a work area. Do not forget to also provide storage space for at least toys. It is necessary to optimize the occupied space - this is why a crib with storage boxes is perceived by so many parents with enthusiasm.

The specificity of this type of cot is that their features are almost entirely advantages. It is difficult to find at least one adequate minus, you can find fault with any one particular sub-type of such beds, and even then it will not be bad in principle, it can simply be inferior to other sub-types with boxes. As for the benefits, they are on the surface:

• Clear space saving: the size of the space occupied is a regular bed, in fact a bed plus a spacious bedside table (or even a small cupboard).
• Excellent solution even with a closet in the roomAfter all, to achieve order in the nursery is almost unreal. The more space there is in the room for storing various things, the closer you can get to the unattainable ideal.
• The range of modern models allows you to choose a bed in the form and size of tens and hundreds of options, which is very pleasing to consumers.
• Variety of assortment concerns and purely visual characteristics - furniture of this type can be chosen for any interior, and most importantly - there will definitely be a cot that will charm the future owner.

In addition, individual subspecies often have their own advantages uncharacteristic for other beds with drawers.

When it comes to buying, many parents just get lost - it's hard to even imagine that such a simple invention can be presented in such a number of variations. You can simplify the selection if you go into the range of stores offered by the stores in detail. In order not to spend a lot of time in supermarkets for the study of the current proposal, it is necessary to briefly run through the main possible parameters, which should choose a crib with storage boxes.

When choosing a bed for children in size, be guided by how many and how old they are. Usually cribs with drawers are relevant for the age of 3 years, because the drawers are usually located under the bed, which increases its height. This is somewhat risky for the smallest. However, there are always exceptions.

For two children of approximately the same age, it is not necessary to purchase two separate beds - one can also think of something in common. It can be both single-tier double beds and complex two-tier structures, not only with drawers, but also with elements of a sports playground. An interesting option would be vykatnaya bed for two children, storage boxes which can be located even above the bed.

For middle school and high school students, you can safely take a full-fledged “adult” bed for the long term - for example, 80 × 190. If the child is already old enough and often receives guests in her room, pay attention to the models with a soft back - so the bed will also serve as a sofa.

Modern furniture manufacturers offer such a motley variety of beds with drawers that it is not easy to navigate them even to a person who understands. However, it is still worth trying to do this in order to simplify the task for those customers who were not interested in this topic at all. So, today the following types of models are in stable demand:

• With a pendulum. This is just an example of the fact that if you wish, you can even equip a cradle with drawers - it’s true that they are relatively small, but they still exist. Such furniture has won great popularity among young parents due to the fact that she robs the child herself - the body stays in place, and the berth sways.

The effect can be achieved both by the motor activity of the infant itself, and thanks to the built-in electric motor. If we talk about specific models, then a bed with the Butterfly transverse pendulum can be a vivid example.

• Bed-couch. Usually this is a significant product size, which (at a relatively small height) is distinguished by a good capacity of the boxes precisely due to the size of the bed. Such models are equipped with a box for linen at the bottom, almost all of them also have a soft back. Perhaps, for one child, such a gift is a bit too much - it would be plenty even for one adult. But this decision is very appropriate if you have several children (or if the little guests in the nursery are not uncommon).
• Bed-sofa. This variety is very similar to the previous version, but differs from it in much more modest size. This is a relatively small bed, designed strictly for one child. The soft back here is no longer necessary.
• Couch. Externally, this furniture is very reminiscent of a small cozy sofa. The specificity of this option is that, perhaps, it is the design that best meets the needs of children - preschoolers, younger students. The fact is that the couch itself involves a large amount of fabric, which it is sheathed on all sides, and the designers actively use it to put on it drawings that the kids will definitely like.

There are individual models whose names have become common nouns. They are well known to hundreds of thousands of parents in our country and the near abroad, they also should not be overlooked:

• "Alice". If you are lucky to be happy parents of your daughter, and you sincerely believe that your baby is a real princess, this bed is perfect for her. This is a spacious couch, and this model stands out among the crowd of competitors with its truly royal design. Both the berth and most of the back of the bed are upholstered in soft-touch burgundy-colored fabric. The product is made of solid wood, so that the strength and durability it does not hold.
• "Sonya." But this is not even a single bed, but a whole line of cots of various modifications. Here there are both purely child cradle models (including the one with a rocking mechanism), as well as large two-tier structures with a ladder for lifting to the second tier and shelves. They allow you to store things - and even do not hide them at the same time, helping to create interesting installations from the child’s favorite toys.
• "Wave". Another series of cots, characterized by a distinctive design - a wave on its side. This model has earned the respect of many parents - even despite the rather high cost. This is probably the most thoughtful pattern of a transformer type crib.

By purchasing such a structure, you actually provide your child with furniture from birth until approximately the time you enter the university. In the version for the baby, it looks like an ordinary cradle mounted on the sliding drawers for storage, plus in the legs - a special pedestal with sidewall, allowing you to comfortably swaddle the baby.

We can not ignore the material from which the cot is made. In any case, it should be strong enough - even if it is not supposed to be used for many years. Remember that not every furniture is able to withstand childish pampering for a long time. In this regard, the array of wood will be the optimal (albeit expensive) solution - such a product will still see your child's grandchildren. The boxes are usually very spacious, which can not but rejoice parents.

But what is not worth taking is the chipboard. Of course, its low cost attracts attention, but this material does not have high strength, in addition, it is toxic.

When choosing a color or shade, be careful to ensure that the purchase fits correctly into the color scheme of the nursery. The child is able to assess the attractiveness of the interior of his room from preschool age, and this directly affects his mood, so don’t buy a bed if you don’t know how to combine it with wall decorations and accessories.

There are no recognized manufacturers in the world of cribs. Not their names are known, but the models of the beds that they offer. If we talk about imported furniture, Italy is famous for its children's beds with storage boxes - especially high-quality products are manufactured in the city of Verona.

However, the majority of parents still prefer the domestic producer - this is cheaper, but there is no significant difference in quality. Among the most famous brands are the three that have already been mentioned above - these are “Alice”, “Sonya” and “Wave”.

Choosing a bed with drawers, immediately consider where it will be located. Almost never have it under the window. The first reason for this is the dimensions of the furniture, which may even partially block the view from the window. The second reason is the street noise and bright sunlight that can interfere with the baby's sleep.Due to extraneous noise, it is also undesirable to position the cot near the nursery door. All these requirements are especially important if we are talking about a very small child - a baby or a preschooler.

Most often, it is recommended to place the cot either near the side walls of the room, or against the wall near the window, but not directly below it. If a child likes to read, he may need bright lighting in the recreation area, but there should always be an opportunity to replace him - sometimes you need a deep twilight. It is necessary to properly zone the room with the help of wall decorations, accessories and put the crib only in that part of the room, which is decorated in soothing colors, without bright colors and bright accents.
