Beds for children over 5 years old

Many things for the child are bought for growth. Furniture in this case is no exception. For a five-year-old tomboy, the bed must be chosen with such an eye that it will serve him at least 4 years. This also applies to the size of the bed and the design of this furniture.

Baby bed from 5 years, like any other, must be purchased in accordance with the general requirements for such items.

• It must be safe - without sharp corners and with reliable fittings. The upper tier of double beds is equipped with a railing.
• To verify the quality of the bed, you need not only to examine it carefully, but also to make sure that the appropriate certificate from the manufacturer is available.
• Elements of the bed should not cause allergies. In the manufacture of such furniture is unacceptable the use of varnishes and paints that can cause poisoning or discomfort of the child. In the mattresses should also be a natural filler, which does not cause an allergic reaction.

The best material for a children's bed is wood. Well beech, ash or birch - solid wood. Although you need to keep in mind that this is quite expensive.

On sale you can often see beds from materials such as MDF or particleboard. It is important to make sure that the materials used do not contain any components hazardous to the health of children. This should at least confirm the certificate for the materials from which the product is made.

Such furniture is more affordable than from the array. Preference is often given to her.

And there remains one more option - a metal bed. Not everyone thinks this is a good solution for a children's bedroom. Metal is metal. It heats up under the influence of sunshine and rusts. Yes, and if you accidentally attach your head to a metal element, it will be very unpleasant.And from a small child you can expect anything. Such beds have an indisputable advantage - they are stable only because of the heavy material used. Although the design of any material must meet these requirements. Any bed for children, no matter how much it jumped, no matter how it rocked, should not roll over.

When choosing a bed for a child is better to give preference to branded goods. Manufacturers of proven models check each product at the next stage of production. This ensures their quality and durability.

For children older than 5 years, the structures described below are most common.

• Loft bed. In this embodiment, it is possible to compactly combine the bedroom area with a working "office". It will be interesting for a child to sleep on the second floor or attic, under which a computer desk with shelves or a closet with things can be placed.
• The bed is a classic shape. This is the same adult bed, only with a reduced bed size. This piece of furniture can be decorated in the style of "unisex" or made in a design that will appeal to a girl or boy.
• Bunk bed. She will solve the problem of placing two kids. Suitable for gay and heterosexual children.

The mattress must be orthopedic. The skeleton of a small person will be formed over several years, so the anatomical will not work here. If this repeats the shape of the body, the orthopedic supports the spine in the correct position, which is extremely important in childhood.

Up to 6 years, the baby has not yet formed curves in the neck and waist. With this in mind, it is better to take either very hard or medium-hardness of the product, avoiding the mattresses with springs. A good option would be to choose a mattress of coconut fiber and latex. If the child is developing poorly and cannot gain weight, you should choose such a product, the top layer of which is softer than the main one.

From 6 years to 12 years, when the natural curves of the spine are at the stage of formation,preference should also be given to a hard or medium hard mattress. Here you can already choose products with springs, but they should be independent.

On sale you can find mattresses with covers and without them. Which option is preferable is a moot point. On the one hand, the cover protects the mattress itself from wear and can be washed by refreshing the bed as a whole. On the other hand, after washing, the “outer shells” often sit down, it is no longer possible to push the mattresses into them, and the bedding on these surfaces frowns and slips as it moves.

There are standards for the size of beds. A bed for a child older than 5 years old is purchased taking into account the fact that it can stretch greatly in a few years, so it is better to take the beds at once, the dimensions of which are “lying down” are 80 by 190 (195) centimeters. If there is an opportunity to buy an intermediate option, for a start it is more convenient to choose a bed with a length of 150 centimeters. Mattress should be appropriate.Although today it is possible to order both beds and mattresses for them on an individual order. Here the parameters are set by the buyer.

A child who has celebrated his fifth anniversary has a wide range of interests and hobbies. Depending on his tastes, one should choose the design of the bed, although it is necessary to approach this issue without fanaticism. Preferences can be adjusted, but the need to follow common sense just has not been canceled.

Even from an ordinary bed you can make an original one. For example, to use a blanket and pillows in a certain subject, connected, for example, with a child’s favorite animated or feature film (book). It remains to place the corresponding elements of the decor next to the bed, and the stylish bedroom is ready.

Options may be the following.

• The loft bed will be enjoyed by the student. It will be interesting to him to fall asleep at the height, and all things important for him will be near. This is a computer desk, and a ladder with bedside tables for books and notebooks is a real house in miniature.
• Bunk bed in the form of a London bus can be a real decoration of the children's room. Properly decorated nightstands will be a practical addition to it.
