Children's bed models with a slide

The sleeping place is central to the child's room. In addition to providing a comfortable and healthy sleep, the bed can fulfill a game purpose. A children's bed with a slide acts as an entertainment complex.

To create a balance between development, entertainment and relaxation, individual furniture, created according to the needs and interests of kids of different ages, will help. A classic bed for children is combined with a play area when the gap between the floor and the base of the frame is at least 90 cm. This will prevent possible bruises and expand the functionality of the room.

Arrangement of a bed with a built-in slide suggests many positive aspects:

• the strength of the structure is achieved thanks to a stable frame that can withstand loads of up to 100 kg;
• a play area and a seating area connected together will save space in the room;
• furniture becomes entertainment because children like to slide downhill;
• the design with a slide will become the central element of the bedroom, setting the style and design for the entire room;
• riding safety is ensured by additional fastenings of the entire structure to the wall;
• to prevent a fall from a height, protective sides are used in equipping the launching parts and the upper tier;
• the bed can be additionally equipped with play, sports and functional elements, interchangeable sets.

The more elements in the furniture complex, the more complex the structure and design, the more the price increases.

The dimensions of the pitched structure vary depending on the height of the second tier, the material of manufacture and the age of the child. The slope and length of the slide is calculated based on the height of the attachment of the beginning of the descent to the bed frame, starting from 100 cm and ending with 160 cm.

The straight shape of the slide is made of solid wood or wood panels with a width of 40 to 60 cm. Plastic will help to realize any design imagination and create a round or oval shape of the descent with different slope options. The slide has bumpers along the entire length of the slope and attachments to the bed, which will increase the level of safety when playing.

Vertical ladder with round, square rungs or in the form of comfortable steps. The inclined lift can be designed as a separate attachment or as part of an overall structure. Drawers, shelves or a free niche can be located under the steps of the stairs. The ladder is located at the side or front of the bed.

The gender of the child determines the design and color of the slide bed. Models for boys can be made in the form of a ship, a sports ground, a fire engine, a tent, a knight's castle, a house, a cave. For girls, beds look like a palace or a princess carriage, a dollhouse decorated with images of their favorite characters.

Depending on the design features, the children's slide bed can be divided into the following types:

• loft bed;
• two-story;
• multifunctional.

The loft bed, equipped with a slide, has one berth located on the second level. The distance to the floor is selected taking into account the age of the baby, but not more than 160 cm. The space under the upper tier further expands the functionality of the room.

A popular lower-level decorating option for young children is to set up a house or shelter. Decoration elements can be purchased complete with the bed or made by yourself. With the help of textile materials, you can decorate the attic with a canopy in the form of a roof or tent, and hang the lower level of the walls and doors with canvases. For themed decoration, removable plastic panels and plywood decorative elements are used.

The loft bed can be the basis for placing sports equipment. Depending on the child's preferences, a rope, a horizontal bar, rings, a rope ladder, a punching bag, a ring for throwing balls, a net or a climbing board are installed along with the slide. All this will help maintain the child's physical activity at any time of the year. In addition to the slide, a swing can become an entertainment element in the design.

For relaxation, you can put a soft furniture corner, ottomans or fix a hanging hammock. As the child grows up, it is possible to convert the space under the bed into a full-fledged work area with a table, shelves and a chair. This will allow you not to clutter up the living space in the room.

A bunk bed with a slide is designed for relaxation and fun for two children. They go up the stairs to the second floor, and go down the hill. For trained and active children, the slide can replace the ascent to the top.

To save room space, there are options with a pull-out bed. Models of bunk beds with a roll-out mechanism allow three children to sleep at once, occupying a single bed in size. The rest of the time, space is freed up for the playing area. If necessary, the pull-out niche can be used as a linen storage box.

The location of the bed in a bunk bed can vary relative to each other. The standard placement is vertical one on top of the other. You can find models with a perpendicular arrangement, when there is a bed in the center, and a ladder and a slide on the sides.

The multifunctional complex allows you to place several functional elements in the bed structure. Different models can be equipped with swings, shelves, a table, modules, boxes for toys and things, a wardrobe, decorative elements and lighting. For a variety of play activities, attachments for a swing, net, rope or hammock may be included in the design.

Models with a table are suitable for children of primary school age, allowing you to place a work area, organically fitting it into the design of the room. Extra storage space and built-in wardrobes provide plenty of space for toys and clothes.

The main criterion when choosing a bed model with a slide is safety. It is imperative that the complete set contains protective fences at the second level with a height of 20 cm. Rounded elements in the structure will help to prevent the occurrence of injury as a result of impact on sharp corners. If the stairs are in the form of steps, equipped with handrails, this will increase the level of protection.

Before buying, you need to evaluate and compare the dimensions of the bed with a slide with the intended installation site. So that the furniture set does not look bulky, its placement in the room should be about a third of the entire space.

The size of the berth depends on the height and age of the children. For preschoolers, a sufficient bed length is 150 cm.It is better for schoolchildren to choose a sleeping place up to 2 m long and 80-90 cm wide.For babies up to 7 years old, structures with a second tier height of no more than 130 cm are suitable.

The material for the manufacture of the bed frame can be metal, solid wood, glued beams, chipboards. Textiles, plastic and wood are used as decorative details. Constructions with a slide made of various types of wood - pine, oak, birch are considered environmentally friendly and pleasant to the touch.

To control the skating of a small child, you should think about purchasing a removable slide. You can install and remove the game element at any time, without much effort.

The design of a child's bed and slide should appeal to its owner, therefore, the opinion of children should be taken into account when choosing a color, style and additional modules. The appearance and equipment of the play area should correspond to the interests of the kid.
