Basic designs

At this age, furniture for children is represented by a kind of transitional variant: a shortened model with a length of up to 140 cm and a width of 80–90 cm.

Children's beds, calculated on the age of 5 years and older, differ from beds for babies on several criteria.

  • Functionality. The bed can be a whole ready-made complex with a berth, a table, shelves for books and drawers for clothes and toys. Models are constructed in one or two tiers. A bed occupies a space above, and under it are additional modules.
  • Unusual design. In preschool years, children are characterized by a rich imagination and reach for everything unusual. Beds of bright colors in the form of cars, carriages and houses are incredibly pleasing to children and develop their imagination.
  • The possibility of transformation. Collapsible model of the bed in the assembled form frees up additional space for outdoor games in the daytime, and at night it turns into a full-fledged place for sleeping. The bed has a place for linen and pillows.

Types of bed designs for boys are of two types.

  • "Growing" with the child bed. Such constructions are a very profitable acquisition. Having bought once a bed with varying dimensions, for many years will not have to think about buying a new one. You will have to spend money only on a new mattress. The size of this bed can be changed as the child grows. The design of such models is usually universal: it is not a pronounced kindergarten option, but something averaged, close to the teenage style.
  • Standard bed for one bed. Additional equipment is possible with drawers for linen or a shelf in the headboard. Each of the structures should be considered in more detail, taking into account all the advantages and disadvantages. Then it will be easier to decide which bed is needed in each particular case. In this article, in particular, we will talk about what should be a single bed for a boy over 5 years old.

Classic

Model without special design features. Size varies from 1.4–2 m in length and 80–90 cm in width. Under it is easy to pick up bed linen (1 bedroom standard size). The bed consists of a frame, headboard and footboard. The most popular choice of parents.

It is useful to equip the bed with a removable side.This will save the child from falling in a dream and make the bed more comfortable. Over time, the need for bumpers will disappear, and the bed will become more adult outlines.

Drawers will be useful under the bed frame. This may be designs on wheels or retractable on rails. In any storage option, this is the most convenient way to store. Saving space, maintaining order in the room and convenience of location - all these points solve additional storage places.

Having bought such a model once, you can postpone the question of replacing the bed for several years in advance.

With an unusual design

Children's beds are called that way, so that with all their appearance you can say that childhood is a fun and interesting time. Surely every boy will like a sleeping place that looks like a racing car, a truck or a police car. The bright colors of the facades and unusual details in the form of real wheels with bumpers will cause genuine delight in any preschooler. On such a bed you can not only sleep, from the first day it becomes a favorite place for children to play.

But you need to understand that a model of such a design will have to be changed in a few years: children grow up actively, and their preferences change as they grow up.A nine-year-old boy will probably be embarrassed to sleep in a typewriter and will not want to brag about it. For this age, more suitable adolescent design, devoid of pretentiousness, but more functional.

Loft bed

The optimal choice for children 7–12 years old. At this age, children often seek solitude and simply adore sleeping in unusual places, where they are difficult to reach. They only dream of their territory, where there will be a place for all things valuable to them. It is easy to create such a corner by equipping a nursery with a complex that includes a bed, a table and a wardrobe.

A bed located at a certain height above the floor creates extra space beneath. It can be used very rationally, as designers of teenage furniture do with great pleasure.

But for the product of such a modification special requirements are put forward:

  • a ladder helping a child climb up should not be slippery;
  • it is better to choose gentle steps: this increases the safety of the product during operation;
  • The sides must be high (considering the height of the mattress).

So you can be absolutely sure that the child will not fall to the floor during active games on the bed during the day or during the night's sleep.

The combination of compactness, functionality and originality makes this piece of furniture in one of the most favorite places for children. Especially children's loft bed will appreciate the inhabitants of a small apartment, in which every free meter of space is valuable.

Transformer

At the age of 5, the child is already mobile and strong, he confidently runs, climbs the stairs and can climb to a certain height without support. A low bed with a step ladder is a suitable safe option for such scamps.

The transformation of such a model occurs at the expense of sliding modules of steps and a table for classes. During the day, the staircase moves into the bed, and the table, on the contrary, leaves it. Classes reading and writing now take place in a comfortable atmosphere and deliver a special pleasure.

The height of the bed is usually no more than 1.2 m. But this distance is enough to equip a small wardrobe and shelves for the office and books under the bottom.

In operation, the model remains for more than three years.Eight-year-olds, as a rule, already need more adult models of beds and lose interest in semi-child complexes. Therefore, the option is considered solely as temporary.

What to look for when choosing a transformable model?

Similar versions are presented in several ways of modification: folding and sliding.

Some easily turn into a sofa, while others go out from under the podium or second bed using special mechanisms.

The latter option perfectly solves the problem of lack of free space.

It is not difficult for even a five-year-old boy to push an extra berth with one hand movement. If it is also sliding, two children will fit on it without constraint.

Remember that the upper place, located above the lower, must be complemented by a side, otherwise there is a chance that in a dream one child will fall on top of another.
