General design of the room
Naturally, the bed in the nursery is the central item of the interior, which, as a rule, occupies the largest space. That is why it is most striking. The design of the bed for the child should be a continuation and logical completion of the entire concept of the children's room. If this is not the case, it can become a “spot” in the overall picture. For example, a baby bed is a car or in the form of a racing car for a little boy will be plaguless against the background of his grandmother’s vintage chest of drawers. Therefore, ordering the bed separately, it is necessary that it corresponds to the general style of the room. There will be fewer problems with the compliance of the interior of the room if you buy a set of furniture, which will include the bed.
CHILD
The main requirement for the children's bed is the material from which it is made. Its case should be made of natural wood, which is opened with several layers of varnish.
Material. The most suitable wood for the baby bed is solid wood, such as walnut, oak, ash, birch. They are quite strong in their structure, which reduces the risk of a bench for the child. In addition, natural wood - the material is not toxic and in its hygienic properties is great for the production of children's furniture. It is allowed to make some parts of plastic or chipboard.
The second important requirement - structure fortress. We must not forget that young children are quite active, therefore, with a large share of probability, they can jump, run, play throughout the room, including on the bed. Therefore, it should be quite strong to withstand all children's pranks. The design of the frame should not contain sharp corners and open metal parts, which the child can be injured about.
The height of the bed. This seems to many adults not too important, but for a child 3-5 years old, the extra 10-15 cm will be enough to get injured when falling. Given that most children behave restlessly during sleep (constantly spin), it is better to choose a lower bed. For children from 3 to 5 years, it is better to provide for the possibility of installing a removable side, which can be removed with unnecessarily. He will be able to detain the child from the fall.
Mattress. The mattress for the children's bed should be orthopedic. It is at this age that the child’s skeleton begins its formation and it is impossible to allow it to be incorrect setting. Therefore, the mattress should be tough and reliable in reasonable chapels. Consult with the seller of furniture to find out the configuration of the mattress if it goes as an integral part of the bed. In some cases, manufacturers offer customers to separately purchase a corps and mattresses. This is the most optimal option, because if necessary, it is possible to easily replace it.
The price of a children's bed made of natural wood is usually quite high, but its quality costs these products.
Ergonomics - above all
If there are no problems with the area of \u200b\u200bthe children's room and it is enough to install any bed, then there are no problems with ergonomics. But what to do if there is little space, as, for example, in small apartments? Then the first requirement for the bed is functionality. If earlier furniture items were made according to standard templates, then at present the masters can make any bed depending on the requirements of the customer.
Over the past few years, several types of beds that have excellent functionality have appeared on the market:
- Children's bed. Excellent choice for small apartments. The design of such a bed is that its bed is located at an altitude of 1.5-1.8 m above the floor. In simple words, a attic bed is nothing more than a bunk bed, only with the difference that there is no sleeping place from below. Typically, under the bed they have a working site for a child, for example, a written or computer table. In some cases, under the bed, you can organize a large chest of drawers or a small closet for clothes, or toys. True, such a bed will cost quite a few.
- Bed with a box. Also a popular model for the nursery. The box below is arranged in two ways: sliding and under the mattress. In the first version, a box for things opens, as in a chest of drawers, in the second - it is located under a mattress, which, thanks to a special mechanism, is easily lifted. In the second option, the volume of useful area is much larger, but the mechanism of raising the mattress is more expensive. This is a great children's bed from the year of the child.
- Bed a children's bed. Great for small apartments. In addition, its dimensions can be adjusted depending on the age of the child.
Sofa or bed?
Many potential buyers of a berth for a child are asked one question: what is better to buy a sofa or bed. Each solution has both positive and negative aspects. Consider each of them.
The sofa can be promising in the future, for example, with growing up a child, it can be laid out by receiving a full -fledged double bed in some cases. At the same time, in a folded state, it does not occupy large space.
However, sofas have quite complex layout mechanisms that can break with frequent use. The cost of repairing mechanisms can be expensive. For the most part, sofas have not too comfortable surfaces for sleeping, because the main task of this piece of furniture is another. Typically, mattresses for them are made of foam rubber, which over time can fail, which will make a dream on it uncomfortable.
In any case, the choice between the bed and the sofa remains for the buyer, who should weigh the pros and cons for himself.
Double -tier bed for children's
This option is the most optimal for families in which more than one child. Such a children's bed (from 3 years old) will be able to save the area of \u200b\u200bthe room. In addition, children really like such a piece of furniture. The only and main condition for this bed should be safety.
Its body should have strength with a huge margin. If it is assumed that a child who will sleep from above weighs about 40 kg, then the bed frame should easily withstand the load of 200 kg without taking into account the weight of the mattress.
Be sure to make sure of the quality of the bed, the safety of both children will depend on it. The upper tier must be equipped with a strong side so that the child cannot fall from a height, even wrapped in a blanket. You also need to pay attention to the strength of the stairs to the second tier. The ode should be strong and well -treated so that the child, rising up, does not hurt his arms and legs.
How to place a bed in a nursery
For a strong and healthy sleep of a child, it is important not only to make the right choice of the bed, but also to properly place it in the room. According to children's psychologists, the location of the bed has no less importance for sleeping than the convenience of the mattress.
Important rules:
- The baby’s bed in the room should be located in such a way that he can see everyone who enters him. However, do not put it opposite the door. Many internal energy experts claim that this can disturb the child's sleep.
- You can not have a children's bed near windows or heating devices, as well as near the heating risers. From the windows, in any case, a draft may appear, which can cause a child's illness.
- The riser or heating radiator in the accident can simply injure the baby, there are also cases of serious consequences of the breakthrough of heating systems. In addition, furniture installed near heat sources may simply dry out.
- In no case should the bed should be placed in the fall of heavy objects: heavy chandeliers, cabinets, shelves. Even the most firmly established thing can fall sooner or later, and, if one happens, it is better to let it fall to the floor, and not on the child. At night, objects hanging over the bed can cause a feeling of concern in the baby that can result in insomnia.
- Many psychologists agree that the children themselves are capable of at the subconscious level to choose the right location of their bed. To do this, you only need to observe them. At night, some parents may notice that their child is sleeping across the bed, or with his feet at the head of the head. If such a pose is repeated often, then it is worth rearranging the bed according to this scheme.
- Do not have a bed opposite the mirror. Firstly, at night, any object reflected in it can scare the baby, and, secondly, the “fengh” experts claim that this is bad for children's energy.
- It is desirable that there are no electrical appliances near the bed: computers, TVs. They create electromagnetic waves that are not too useful for the child’s health, and are also potential fire hazardous sources.
