Children's beds from Ikea: variety of models and tips for choosing

Furniture is a product that will always be bought. In modern times, in the big cities of Russia, one of the most popular stores of furniture and interior items has become a hypermarket of Swedish furniture Ikea. This store is present in cities such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar, and in many other cities of our vast country. Ikea has become a panacea for all residents of large cities who have decided to move away from the usual design of apartments, where the Polish wall and carpet on the wall are the norm and classics of the Soviet interior.

The Ikea company was registered by Ingvar Kamprad back in 1943. In those days, she only sold matches and cards for Christmas. The very first furniture that went on sale was an armchair, and it was with it that Ingvar's long journey to fame and fortune began. Now, after Ingvar's death, his company brings in billions of dollars and is still a leading manufacturer of furniture that is accessible to anyone. This was the main goal of the creation of the Ikea company. The founder of the mega-corporation once decided that high-quality and functional furniture should not be expensive, and he did everything to ensure that only the best furniture at affordable prices was in his store.

Ikea store, full of its modern and laconic Scandinavian flavor of exhibition interiors, simply cannot let go of a person without a purchase. Now the assortment of Ikea stores is so wide that they sell not only furniture for any room, be it a living room, bedroom, bathroom or nursery. On sale there are dishes, textiles, and even food - from frozen fish in batter to chocolate.

The Swedish goods store is considered to be a family-owned store. They come with children to have a good time and buy the necessary goods. Some toddlers are very fond of the playrooms found in any Ikea store. In the meantime, the kids frolic under the supervision of specialists, parents can safely walk around the store and choose a new toy for the child, a wardrobe for the nursery or a bed suitable for his height.

A whole department is dedicated to children and their interests. It presents a huge number of products: beds, desks, cabinets, dressers, wardrobes and bed linen.

When parents decide to give their child a room, the first thing they buy for it is a bed. Such furniture is the main element of the bedroom and nursery, on which the entire interior of the room depends. The color of other furniture in the room is most often matched precisely to the color of the bed, as is the style of the entire room.

Scandinavian style is so versatile that it suits any room, including a nursery.

The model range of Ikea baby beds is represented by a wide assortment, in which everyone will find exactly what his child needs. Usually, a crib is gender non-gender, so most Ikea beds are versatile and suitable for both boys and girls.

On the beds of this brand, you cannot find a print in the form of balls and a house. The style of such Swedish furniture is so ascetic that even children's models hardly play with bright colors. But this is their plus. In this form, it will definitely fit into any interior created by parents in the nursery.

Here, the functionality of Ikea baby beds does not end there, and they have many more surprises for little customers. For example, many Ikea baby beds have a so-called growing function. This bed "grows" with the child, and it is incredibly practical. For parents, this furniture is convenient because there is no need to buy a new bed if the old one suddenly becomes small for the child.

If a children's room is modest in size, and it is impossible to put both a table and a bed in the same space, then Ikea has come up with a way out. This is a functional loft bed. Having installed it in the nursery, parents provide their child with a sleeping place and the opportunity to do homework at their desk. Models "Sverta", "Stuva" and "Tuffing" meet all the requirements of caring parents, and recommendations for installation will help them to protect children from accidents. Thus, saving space, you can put other interesting and functional furniture in the room that your child will surely like, for example, a comfortable Poeng chaise longue chair.

If the family has two children, and there is not much room in the nursery, then Ikea offers several types of bunk beds made of steel or solid pine. Their length from 206 to 208 cm allows both first-graders and senior children to sleep in them.

Steel beds "Minnen" will help creative parents create an atmosphere of romance in their girl's nursery. Thanks to this bed, as well as beautiful canopies from Ikea, romanticism will remain in the room for a long time, as “Minnen” also has the ability to “grow” with the child.

Beds such as Sundvik and Minnen already have barriers that are part of the furniture design, so three-year-olds can sleep in such a bed, and there is no need to install special restraints.

An extra bed will never hurt in the children's room if the child's friends often stay overnight. Roll-out beds "Sverta" can be stored both under a regular bed and under a bunk bed.

The Slack teenage bed provides for a roll-out section under it. The Slack pull-out bed, in addition to being an additional place, also has drawers for storing bed linen or a sleeping bag.

The color palette of Ikea cribs is not very rich. You will not find beds in light green and orange. But thanks to the conservative white, you can always choose other furniture for the nursery, because everything fits with white.

Not so long ago, Ikea released a series of furniture in blue and pink colors. But the white Ikea baby beds are still Scandinavian classics that are pleasing to the eye and go with any cabinet color.

More recently, white cribs with lambs and lambs, cats and dogs "Critter" have been removed from the assortment. These beds are still sold in Sweden, but they left the Russian market. But they can still be bought from used websites.

All Ikea baby beds, if you trust the manufacturer, undergo rigorous selection and thorough testing for product quality. Often, Ikea products are re-tested for safety, and at the decision of the management, due to non-compliance with safety rules, they can be removed from the range.

Basically, children's beds are made from solid pine wood with lacquer coating or steel with epoxy powder coating. These materials are easy to clean and wash as needed. There is also a part of the beds made in the composition of chipboard, fiberboard and plastic.

The size range of Ikea baby beds is quite wide. For example, there is a Solgul crib for babies, its length is 124 cm. This size is undoubtedly suitable for children under 2 years of age, whose height does not exceed 100 cm for the most part.

The range of beds for children from 3 to 7 years old is mainly represented by pull-out beds, the length of which can be changed and adjusted to the growth of the child with the help of a sliding structure. The length of Leksvik and Busunge cots varies from 138 to 208 cm.

The Sundvik and Minnen beds have the same function. Their maximum length is from 206 to 207 cm. The difference between them is only in the number of supports. The Sundvik children's bed has 6, and the Minnen has 4.

Ikea product range includes baby beds are divided depending on the age of the child:

• beds for babies from 0 to 2 years old;
• beds for children from 3 to 7 years old;
• beds for children from 8 to 12 years old.

For children who do not fit these age criteria, it is proposed to purchase single adult beds, which are presented in the range of "Bedrooms" or those that increase in length. "Growing" beds are quite a bargain for parents on a budget, having bought it once, they provide the child with a stylish and comfortable sleeping place for a long time.

Parents who like standard white children's furniture are happy to re-purchase them. They are satisfied with the quality of children's beds, that they are safe, easy to assemble, and they can easily be matched with other furniture.

There is, of course, a share of negativity in the reviews of Ikea children's furniture. Some parents say that it is fragile, often breaks, and the quality of assembly materials is poor.

In any case, it is impossible to refute the fact that the store offers a large selection, and the goods can always be seen, touched and evaluated even before buying furniture in the showroom, as well as form your own opinion.

Each prefab box contains assembly instructions. It is not textual, and all the manipulations with the details are presented in the pictures, which is undoubtedly convenient and understandable even for a child.
