Choosing a baby bed for boys

The bed is a detail without which it is difficult to imagine a nursery. This piece of furniture can be either simple and uncomplicated, or multi-component with various additional elements. It is worth considering how to choose the perfect bed for a boy, what types of these products are present today.

It's no secret that the modern furniture market allows consumers to choose any bed options. It can be not only a single bed, but also a multifunctional design with additional drawers, wardrobes, tables or armchairs - there are a lot of options.

You need to be especially careful when choosing furniture for a children's bedroom. The quality of the child's sleep will directly depend on the quality of the bed chosen. If you choose the wrong model in terms of size or design, then the young user will not be very comfortable resting on it, so it is very important to pay due attention to all the parameters and characteristics of the selected products.

The choice of the design of such furniture depends only on the preferences of the consumer. Any children's furniture must be sufficiently safe.

A high-quality bed for a boy should be made as high quality as possible. Usually, products go on sale in which there are no sharp and protruding elements of the frame or mechanism. Such options are considered optimal, since with them the risk of injury is minimized.

In addition, the safety of children's furniture is often ensured by additional elements such as bumpers. These components prevent the child from falling out of bed while sleeping or playing. In most cases, the boards are placed on furniture designed for babies, but these designs are often present in products for schoolchildren and adolescents.

Modern parents have everything they need to equip a beautiful and cozy children's room. The stores sell a variety of bed options, made in different styles. Similar products differ in their configurations. It is worth familiarizing yourself with the list of the most popular types of boys' beds that are in great demand.

Such options are traditional and are found more often than others. Single beds are chosen because of their small size, which allows such furniture to be placed even in a small bedroom. These products are quite easy to refuel, do not look bulky, do not have a very high height and are often equipped with bumpers.

There are also such specimens in which an increase in length is provided in the course of the child's growth. You can use such options up to 12 years. If you plan to purchase furniture for a boy "for growth", then you should look for high-quality single beds with a sliding mechanism. For the room in which the teenager lives, this option is almost the only optimal solution.

The baby will sleep comfortably and safely on such a bed. A single bed can be made more original and stylish by updating the headboard. You can do it yourself using a sheet of plywood, and fix the upholstery on top of it.

As for the foot, it is not available in all cribs. Of course, in models for the smallest, this detail is indispensable, but for schoolchildren and adolescents, these elements are not required.

In the boy's room, you can put not only the classic version of the bed, but also a more original model of an unusual shape.

The most popular are such types of beds for young gentlemen as:

• in the form of a car;
• ship;
• spaceship;
• trains;
• castle;
• forest tent.

Such furniture will be a great addition to a room belonging to a boy from 2 to 10 years old. Beds in the form of large toys are famous for their very interesting and bright designs that instantly win the hearts of children. However, it is important to take into account that most often these products are expensive and, given the rapid growth of the child, are not the most profitable acquisitions.

Bunk beds are rightfully recognized as one of the most popular. If two children live in a room, then this option for bedroom furniture will be ideal. In most cases, boys like these types of beds very much, but they cannot be called very convenient in matters of bedding. In addition, we must not forget that furniture with two tiers is dangerous for little boys. You can accidentally fall from the second "floor" and get seriously injured. It will be possible to avoid such consequences only if there are rather high and reliable sides.

It is recommended to place children on the upper bed who are at least 6 years old. In addition, the small user should not be very mobile and active, being on the second tier, as this can lead to a fall even if there are boards. The ladders of such beds must be securely fixed, and the steps must be wide.

There is another popular modification of a bunk bed - a pull-out model. At night it will be possible to accommodate two children on it, and during the day the first "floor" moves with a slight movement, and the bed again turns into a simple single version. Moreover, two tiers of such furniture can be used separately from each other.

Retractable two-level products are very popular today, as they have modest dimensions and look harmonious in children's rooms. Various modifications of these models can be found in stores. For example, they may contain additions in the form of pull-out countertops, drawers and shelves.

A loft bed is every boy's dream. This bedroom furniture will be a good solution for a small children's room in which children aged 6–8 live. Attics produced by modern manufacturers are good in that many different functional places can be equipped in their lower part.

For example, it can be a play area, a study corner or a separate compartment for storing various things and objects. Simply put, a loft bed is the same room in a room. Such furniture has the same disadvantages as a regular two-tier model - you can fall off and get injured. For this reason, a loft bed is also worth buying with a side board.

Experts recommend placing couches in rooms owned by older boys or adolescent children. Such furniture is distinguished by its small dimensions, as well as the presence of a compartment for storing various things.

Modern day couches easily turn into cozy sofas or armchairs in which you can have a good rest.

Such furniture in most cases has colorful children's upholstery. Sofas and armchairs-beds have modest dimensions, and when folded, they can significantly save the space available in the room. But these models can be difficult to clean as they can be difficult to fold and unfold.

In addition, it will be necessary to take into account that furniture of such a positive children's design is only a temporary solution, since soon the child will outgrow it and want something more serious. Sofas and armchairs are a good option for teenagers, as they themselves will be able to assemble and disassemble this furniture.

Choosing the right bed model for a young gentleman, it is very important to consider his age.

• For very small crumbs that are not yet 4 months old, a small and absolutely safe cradle or rocking chair is ideal. However, as soon as the boy begins to sit down on his own, such furniture will no longer work for him, since he will swing it or even be able to turn it over, which is fraught with negative consequences.
• For a grown-up baby, it is necessary to purchase more stable and reliable beds. A child cannot dump such models. It should be borne in mind that for grown-up children, a crib is needed, the depth of which is at least 60 cm.

• Soon, the baby will not be so comfortable in a small crib. Upon reaching 2–3 or 4 years old, you can pick up transformable furniture with sides or a sliding / folding sofa. In any case, you need to take care of the safety of the child.
• The loft bed popular today is more dangerous than the above options, since it consists of two tiers. Since the sleeping bed is on top in it, you cannot do without sides. Such furniture is more suitable for young users 6–8 years old.
• A standard single bed is suitable for a preschooler. As for the special growing furniture, it can be placed in the room of a boy who is 7-10 years old.

Of course, a lot depends on the configuration of the selected furniture. For teenagers, you should not buy colorful beds and sofas with upholstery decorated with children's patterns and prints. These options are more suitable for younger guys.

Today's consumers are completely unlimited in their choice of cribs of a particular style and color. For a boy, you can purchase a standard bed model and complement it with original bedding, making it a bright accent. And it is also permissible to refer to the unusual designs described above - these can be airplanes, cars, trains or whole ensembles in a nautical style. Boyish beds painted in several colors look very interesting and fresh in the interior of the nursery. The most commonly used tones are blue, purple and brown.

Of course, you can turn to other options. The main thing is that the design of the selected furniture matches the bedroom set and the decoration of the room. To decorate the interior of the children's room and make it more modern, you can complement the bed with LED lighting. For example, it is permissible to install it at the bottom of a car bed.

Choosing a high-quality and reliable bed for a boy should be in accordance with several significant criteria.

• Material. You need to buy high quality children's furniture made from natural materials, which do not contain harmful compounds. Products made of chipboard do not meet such requirements (the exception is furniture made of chipboard of class E1, but it is not found everywhere). Experts recommend choosing products made from natural wood, but they are not very cheap.
• Build quality. It is worth paying attention to the build quality of the selected children's bed. All connections must be made in good faith. Fasteners should be held as tight and secure as possible. If there are loose parts in the furniture, then you should refuse to buy it (especially if it is a two-tier model).

• Load. You should definitely pay attention to the permissible load, which is indicated on all cots.
• The quality of the mechanisms. If the selected children's furniture is equipped with a retractable or any other mechanism, then before buying you need to check the stability of its functioning. To do this, you should contact a sales consultant.
• Dimensions. Do not forget about the correct dimensions of the furniture you choose. For a growing boy, it is better to buy products with a small margin. The main thing is not to take too small structures, as it will be very uncomfortable to sleep on them. In addition, the furniture should also fit the size of the existing children's room. To do this, you must first measure it.

• Design. A children's bed should look harmonious in the interior. It should match the rest of the furnishings in both style and color. In the conditions of a nursery, it is not necessary to resort to overly pretentious or strict specimens - it is permissible to choose more positive and cheerful models, especially if furniture is purchased for a little boy.
• Manufacturer. You should only buy high quality baby beds that have been manufactured under the brand name of a well-known brand. Thus, you can save yourself and your child from buying a poor quality product. Of course, the branded model is likely to be expensive, but it will last a long time and will not harm the health of the young user.

If you want to turn the children's room into a real corner of luxury and style, then you should decorate all the walls in it with white, and make one overlap accent - blue. Put snow-white parquet or laminate on the floor. Place a white car bed in this bright room and complement it with blue LED lighting at the bottom. Next to it, put blue and white furniture in a modern style and hang original elongated lamps.

In the boy's room, you can install a chic loft bed, made in the shape of a ship's bow. It is better to choose a model made of wood. It will look great in a nautical-style interior. Place a blue rug on the light wood floor and complete the furnishings with similar colored textiles.

In a room where one of the walls is covered with blue wallpaper with a small print, and the rest are decorated with snow-white canvases with similar elements, you can put a red car bed that stands out against the general background. Hang a big picture of cartoon characters over it. Lay a light-colored laminate on the floor and decorate it with a carpet depicting city roads.
