Solid wood teenage bed

If you choose a bed for a teenager, then it is made of natural wood. Such furniture is considered to be of the highest quality and most beautiful. The variety of models, taking into account the size of the room, gender and physical characteristics of a teenager, his taste preferences is great. There are plenty to choose from.

• solid wood bed is durable and strong;
• this furniture is environmentally friendly;
• sleeps well on such a bed;
• the woody texture itself is a wonderful decoration. It is enough to process it to give the furniture a unique and expensive look;
• beds are made of both hard and soft wood;
• for teenagers, single or bunk beds are produced, with sides and carved headboards, with drawers and so on.

Solid wood beds have practically no drawbacks. Over time, they can slightly change color, and some areas also darken. But this is not a disadvantage in the full sense. Often, such changes give the sleeping place even more originality and attractiveness.

When they talk about a bed made of solid wood, this means that wood planks of one or another species were used. The soft include pine, linden, aspen.

It is not difficult to work with the texture of such wood. It lends itself well to processing. In addition, the price is inexpensive. Therefore, a pine bed, for example, can be attributed to budget furniture options.

Such a bed will require careful handling so that it can maintain an attractive appearance for a long time. Scratches and dents are easy on the surface of softwood furniture. This is especially risky if the bed has drawers and other movable elements. It is difficult to expect from a teenager that when dealing with them, he will especially think about how not to spoil this beauty. Therefore, you need to think carefully about whether it is worth choosing soft wood furniture for your child.

Oak, beech, walnut, ash, birch are distinguished by their solid texture.

It should be borne in mind that, although an oak bed will give the whole room a unique atmosphere, it is still a very expensive purchase that not everyone can afford. For example, furniture made of birch or walnut is distinguished by its beauty and excellent quality. Moreover, the elements of beds made of this tree are often decorated with intricate carvings, which gives uniqueness not only to the sleeping place, but to the whole room.

When choosing a teenage bed made of solid wood, special attention should be paid to its design.

If the bedroom is spacious, you can choose a classic-shaped bed. For a small room, a compact "attic-type" structure or with pull-out elements is suitable. This will allow you to use the same space for both night sleep and daytime activities.

By itself, the frame of a wooden bed must be strong and stable. It is better if the model has a headboard - it is convenient to lean against it and lean back on it. The footboard is optional, especially if the teenager is tall.

The most suitable base on which the mattress is laid are the lamellas. A single bed should have about fifteen of them. It is better to choose an orthopedic mattress. This will keep your baby's back healthy. Depending on the situation, it is chosen of medium hardness or hard.

It is good if the design is without springs using coconut bark and natural latex. Such materials will provide the necessary rigidity to the sleeping area and a long service life of the product. Such a mattress will allow a teenager to sit comfortably and correctly, from the point of view of anatomy, on it. The child will get enough sleep and feel great in the morning.

When choosing a mattress, it is more profitable to give preference to models without a cover. On it, bed linen will wrinkle and move out - uncomfortable. In addition, over time, the cover sits down. One fine day after washing it will be very difficult or simply impossible to put a mattress in it.

The purchase of the most important component of the bed should take place in the presence of the child - he also sleeps on it. He must lie on each of the mattresses from which a choice is made for ten minutes. Where he will feel best, he should be taken.

If one bedroom, the area of ​​which is small, is to be shared by two teenagers, you will have to purchase a two-tier structure. Here, its reliability takes on special significance. In it, among other things, a strong ladder with a slope should be provided. The upper "floor" is necessarily equipped with a handrail.

The comfort of the bed is largely determined by the size of the bed itself. This must be borne in mind when making a choice in favor of one or the other model. A standard teenage bed has dimensions of 160 by 80 centimeters. Sometimes it makes sense to order custom-made furniture.

In Western countries, the width of teenage beds is 1 meter, which is very convenient - there is room to turn.

• A teenage bed in the form of a podium will be very comfortable if it is located by the window (well insulated from the penetration of cold air). Open and closed shelves can be placed next to it, and drawers for linen under the berth.
• For a small room, a compact design with a bed that can be easily removed for a day is suitable, freeing up the space of the room.

• The design with a rising berth allows you to conveniently place a teenager's things under it.
• The bed, sliding under the podium for a day, does not clutter up the room. In this case, the child has a place to lie down.
