Beds for three children: suitable options for a small room

Currently, the presence of three children in a family is far from uncommon. A large family is fashionable and modern, and parents with many children today are not dull people overwhelmed by life, but smart and positive-minded, mobile and often very young couples. However, there are not many families that could provide a separate room (and bed) for each of the three children. In addition, children themselves often do not want to exist separately from each other until adolescence. Most parents have to place babies in the same room, and, of course, the first question that arises is: how will they sleep?

If a room with a large area is allocated for the children's bedroom, then there will be no problems with the placement of separate beds. If the room cannot boast of volume, then, most likely, a multi-level structure will be needed. There are a lot of similar models in the furniture market today, due to the great demand. There are corner bunk beds and flat beds. Let's take a closer look at what modern manufacturers offer.

It is more than realistic to arrange three berths on two tiers. Below there can be two beds of the same size, and on the second "floor" - one or vice versa. If there are two sleeping places on top, then they form something like an attic for the lower tier, thus, shelves for books or boxes for toys can be placed below.

For such models, the very place is in a small room, but there is a nuance: the ceiling in it must be higher than the standard one. Otherwise, the child sleeping on the topmost "floor" will be very uncomfortable. The design of such models can be different: either all the tiers are located one above the other, or, for example, crosswise, at an angle.

Interesting beds are "folding beds". In fact, when assembled, they are a corner sofa with parts of the same length. One more level rolls out at night - a sleeping place. There are also bunk beds with a pull-out additional bottom "shelf".

"Matryoshka" - this is the name of the bed-chest of drawers, in which all three tiers are collected during the daytime. When it’s time to sleep, each of the "shelves" slides out one after the other, so that all three berths form a kind of ladder. This design is very space saving in any room. However, children take turns climbing on it, and if someone has a habit of waking up at night, he risks, getting out of bed, to wake up the others.

Of course, if the area of ​​the room allows, it is better when each of the children sleeps on a separate bed. First, it removes the eternal problem of choosing who will sleep in which place. Secondly, each child can sleep without disturbing the rest of the children (for example, getting off the top tier in a matryoshka bed, it is easy to wake everyone up).

Beds can be placed at an angle, along the walls, or as fantasy dictates. If you stay on models equipped with boxes for linen, toys and shelves for books, you can save space, since you do not need additional dressers and bedside tables.

It doesn't matter if you choose a bed for one child, for two or for three, any piece of children's furniture must meet a number of requirements. Tips for choosing a model (or s) should start with functional properties, not decorative ones.

• The material from which the crib is made must be environmentally friendly, safe, durable and durable. Even the minimum level of its toxicity is unacceptable. This applies to both the mattress and its filler.
• The design of the model must also be safe - sharp corners, protruding springs, levers are excluded.
• You should not buy a bed "close to" the child's height, otherwise very soon it will become small for all children. It is better to make sure that it "lasts" for several years, even taking into account the intensive growth of one of the three (or all at once).

• If children are small, each tier of a multi-level structure should be equipped with bumpers so that the child does not fall while sleeping or playing.
• The child should be comfortable in bed. It is the voices of the children that are decisive in this situation, and if the parents do not want to explain every night why the child needs to sleep in their crib, it is better to listen if the children, for whatever reason, are against purchasing a particular model.
• The mattress must be perfectly fixed, its mobility is unacceptable. Place the mattress in a specially provided recess. In addition, it must be orthopedic and contribute to the formation of correct posture.

• The mattress should have the required rigidity, it should not have bumps or holes. If a decision is made to purchase a mattress on springs, it is better if all springs are autonomous.
• Children under 5 years old should not sleep on the upper tiers.
• If one of the children loves to read, it makes sense to take care of individual bed lighting. Then the child will be able to indulge in hobby without fear of spoiling his eyesight.

If the children are same-sex, then, as a rule, it is easier to decide on the style of the room. Boys prefer adventures, cars, robots, for them it is enough to choose simple and functional models, and reflect the individual preferences of each in the design of the sleeping place itself: for a Spider-Man fan, cover him with a blanket with an image of an idol, and for those who are crazy about space, they will do bed linen with a map of the starry sky. If all three have similar interests, then decorating the room of such unanimous young people will not be difficult for parents.

Girls (especially if they do not have a big age difference) are very good at lock beds. The room where three little princesses live will be perfectly complemented by such a model. If, due to the area of ​​the room, it is not possible to put such a bed, you can support the style of the castle with textiles - bed linen, pillows, bedspreads, curtains.

If children are of different sexes, it will be more difficult for them to agree on what their shared bed will be. Perhaps it makes sense to think about autonomous sleeping places for everyone, and if this is not possible, make the crib neutral, allowing the children to decorate it themselves in accordance with their hobbies and interests.

You should not deprive each of the children of their personal space, even if they are in the same room. Perhaps the best way out of this situation will be the zoning of the room, if its area allows it. A section of the room for each of the children, separated by furniture or partitions, or simply painted in different colors or shades of the same color, will help create a personal space even in the most spacious place.
