Furniture is a product that will always be bought. In modern times, in the big cities of Russia, the hypermarket of Swedish furniture Ikea has become one of the most popular stores of furniture and interior items. This store is present in cities such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar, and in many other cities of our immense country. Ikea has become a panacea for all residents of large cities, who have decided to move away from the usual apartment design, where the Polish wall and carpet on the wall are the norm and classic of the Soviet interior.

Ikea was registered by Ingvar Kamprad back in 1943. In those days, she sold only matches and postcards for Christmas.The very first furniture that went on sale was the armchair, and it was with him that Ingvar started the long journey to fame and fortune. Now, after the death of Ingvar, his company brings billions of dollars and is still a leading manufacturer of furniture that is available to anyone. That was the main purpose of creating Ikea. The founder of the mega-corporation at one time decided that high-quality and functional furniture should not be expensive, and he did everything to ensure that only the best furniture at affordable prices was in his store.

The Ikea store, full of its modern and laconic Scandinavian exhibition interior colors, simply cannot let a person go without a purchase. Now the range of Ikea stores is so wide that it sells not only furniture for any room, be it a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom or a nursery. There are also dishes, textiles, and even food products, from frozen fish in batter to chocolate.

A whole department is dedicated to children and their interests. It presents a huge amount of goods: beds, desks, cabinets, dressers, wardrobes and bed linen.

When parents decide to allocate a room to a child, the first thing they buy into it is a bed. Such furniture is the main element of the bedroom and nursery, on which the whole interior of the room depends. The color of other furniture in the room is most often matched to the color of the bed, just like the style of the whole room.

The Scandinavian style is so versatile that it is suitable for any room, including the nursery.

The model range of Ikea cots is represented by a wide assortment in which everyone will find what their child needs.Usually, a baby bed has no gender, so most of the beds Ikea is universal and suitable for both boys and girls.

But this is their plus. In this form, it is exactly suitable for any interior created by parents in the nursery.

Here, the functionality of Ikea cots does not end there, and they still have a lot of surprises for young buyers. For example, in many Ikea cots there is a so-called growing function. This bed “grows” with the child, and it is incredibly practical. For parents, this furniture is convenient because there is no need to buy a new bed, if the old one suddenly became a small child.

If the children's room is modest in size, and it is impossible to put both a table and a bed in the same space, then Ikea has come up with a way out. This is a functional loft bed.Having established it in the nursery, parents provide their children with a bed and the opportunity to do homework at their desk. The models of “Svart”, “Stuva” and “Tuffing” meet all the requirements of caring parents, and the installation recommendations will help them protect children from accidents. Thus, saving space, you can put into the room another interesting and functional furniture that your child will surely like, for example, the comfortable Poeng chaise lounge chair.

If there are two children in the family, and there is not much space in the nursery, Ikea offers several types of bunk beds made of steel or solid pine. Their length from 206 to 208 cm allows both first grade and high school children to sleep in them.

Steel beds "Minnen" will help creative parents to create an atmosphere of romance in their child's girlfriend. Thanks to this bed, as well as the beautiful canopies from Ikea, romanticism will remain in the room for a long time, since Minnen also has the ability to “grow” with the child.

Beds such as Sundwick and Minnen already have peculiar barriers that are part of the furniture design, so you can sleep for three years already in such a bed, and there is no need to install special restraints.

The extra bed will never hurt in the nursery, if the friends of the child often stay overnight. Roll-out beds "Svart" can be stored under a regular, and under a bunk bed.

Teenage bed "Slakt" provides for the placement of a withdrawable section under it. The pullout bed “Slakt”, besides being an extra bed, also has drawers for storing bed linen or a sleeping bag.

In the range of products Ikea children's beds are divided according to the age of the child:

• beds for kids from 0 to 2 years;
