Choosing a baby bed with drawers and a side
Small children sleep restlessly, constantly tossing and turning in the crib, so many parents are in no hurry to put them to sleep on a separate bed. This causes inconvenience to adults and delays the appearance of independence in the child.
Modern baby bed manufacturers offer a practical solution to this problem. We are talking about a baby bed with drawers and bumpers. The fence will not only allow the child to sleep comfortably, but also diversify the interior of the children's room.
Purpose, advantages and disadvantages of the design
Children under 2-3 years old sleep in cots with an impressive and reliable fence. It allows the child not to fall, both during sleep and during play. But even after 3 years of age, the risk of falling in a dream remains. Therefore, the sides on the bed will not become an extra detail for the baby. In addition to the main task, the fence gives the child the impression of being protected, which will help him fall asleep easier and faster.
In addition, a perimeter fence prevents the mattress and bedding from moving. At the same time, not only the child, but also the parents will be able to sleep peacefully.
The sides can also be used in non-standard applications. They easily fit toys, books or children's clothing. In this case, the child himself learns to fold his things before bedtime. There are disadvantages to this bed. These include the hard material of the fence, which can lead to bruises during sleep. Therefore, the part must either be selected with upholstery, or improved to order.
If there are slats in the bed structure, then the child can accidentally get stuck between them. The distance between them should not be too small. And if the sides, on the contrary, are solid around the entire perimeter, then the air will not flow well during sleep, which will also harm the child.
The device of the sides
There are several types of bumpers design. To make the right choice, you need to take into account the child's age, sleep disturbance, his activity during the day and, of course, his personal preferences.
A bed with high sides should be chosen for children who constantly toss and turn in their sleep, this will reduce the risk of falling. It is important to consider the height of the mattress. In a standard product, the height of the side rails is about 20 cm.
If the child does not like a confined space, then it is better not to buy a blank fence. Only the headboard can be closed in the product. In this case, it is easier to get out of bed without assistance. The fence can be removed. Such furniture can be purchased for growth.
The materials used to create fences are also different. Wooden sides are reliable and durable. Cleaning in this case will be limited to dusting. If the fences include soft inserts, then they will have to be cleaned with chemicals, but the child is guaranteed not to receive accidental damage.
Bed models with boards
The classic single bed with sides has a simple and practical design. This product is on legs with a guard. Provides great opportunities for any room decoration. Such furniture can be supplemented with a multi-colored bedspread or bed linen with fairy-tale characters. For a small room, the option with a chest of drawers is well suited, in which it is recommended to store linen, clothes and any personal belongings of the child.
A loft bed will also be a practical option, under which you can place a wardrobe, table or play area. But with all the advantages, you need to make sure that the child will not be afraid to sleep at a height. It is also necessary to remember about safe ascent - a wide, stable inclined ladder and sides along the entire perimeter.
The sofa bed can also be fitted with a railing, but only partially. When buying this option, the leisure area in the room increases. Also, the child will get used to making the bed every morning.
Even a single bunk bed with drawers underneath will be practical. It will eliminate the need to buy a whole set with bedside tables. Both clothes and books with writing utensils can be folded into the boxes.
Peculiarities
When buying, first of all, you need to pay attention to the material of the product. It should be harmless to the baby. And the best thing about this is the wooden bed. This model does not cause an allergic reaction and will last a long time due to its durability.
For a more comfortable sleep, the product should be air permeable so that the child does not sweat. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a bottom made in the form of a lattice.
The environmental friendliness of the paintwork is also important. You can find out the composition in the specification of the goods, which the seller is obliged to provide upon first request. In the absence of appropriate documents, it is better not to rely on oral assurances, even at a high price.
The bed should be free of sharp corners, on the sides in the first place. The roundness of the details is typical for high-quality branded children's furniture.
Since the bed is designed for children, all folding or folding mechanisms should work easily. When the child can cope with the transformation himself, he will get used to cleaning with great interest. The dolphin bed is a great example. In it, it is only necessary to slightly push the front panel of the product with the rim forward, and the berth easily and smoothly expands to a full one.
The quality of the mattress is also important. It is better to purchase an orthopedic model. Since the child's spine is just developing, the correct distribution of the load on it during sleep will contribute to an even posture and even breathing.
When buying a baby bed, there are enough options that will meet all the requirements of safety, comfort and modernity. The main thing is to remember that cheap models made of chipboard and fiberboard cannot meet all the necessary parameters. It is better not to save money on children's healthy sleep.
