Beds with sides for teens

A bed for teens is not so easy to choose. A bed in the form of a toy will no longer suit them, so it is necessary to choose a more “serious” model, the main requirements for which are comfort and safety. Today for the grown-up family members this sleeping piece of furniture is produced in various shapes and designs: a loft bed, a podium, a mini-sofa. It remains only to choose the one that the teen himself likes.

Many children, far from infancy, sleep quite restlessly, tossing and turning in their sleep,and some of them may even jump on a comfortable mattress before it, so it is very important to take care of the bumpers on the bed, which will provide a child with safety and protect him from falling.

The main difference between this model and a children's bed is its almost adult size. It is equally convenient for boys and girls. But this does not mean that the place for sleeping in a teenager should be strictly and dull. No, it can be bright colors and interesting design. And the main advantage is that it will easily become a real adult when a teenager becomes older. This is achieved through a “smart” model design.

In order to opt for a bed with a side, You can see a number of obvious advantages that it has.

• The sides will protect from falling out of bed baby.
• The sides will create an illusion of personal space for a teenager, where he can be alone with himself, think over various situations, and just take a break from adult moralizing. For girls, you can even think of installing a special canopy. Then young ladies can present themselves as heroes of an adventure novel.
• During cold winter nights, it is the presence of side rails that will be able to hold the heat in the cozy bed of the child.

• The sides often have a functional load - for example, they can hang a towel or a bathrobe. Made in the form of shelves, they can become a place where you can put a phone or tablet at night.
• The presence of fences will be an excellent "fixer" for the mattress and blanket that is always slipping away from the child.
• If the child is not so many years old, then organizers or favorite toys can be attached to the side shelves.

In addition to the advantages, the model with side barriers also has a number of minor drawbacks that attentive parents should pay attention to when buying.

• If the sides are rigid, then there is the possibility of bruising the hand or the head of the child: some children may wave their arms in a dream, therefore it is better to take care of special material on the sides to soften the possibility of impact.
• The source of danger can be unstable side devices - made of poor-quality material, they can break down and injure a teenager.
• It is better to abandon the sides of the rack structure,so that the hand of the child does not fall into the gap between them.

Manufacturers of the furniture industry today offer a lot of models with sides, so you need to carefully consider which one is right for your child.

• Hard sides are suitable for children from 3 years old, however, they must be covered with a special soft material: jacquard, velor, and in some embodiments, even eco-leather. Models with soft sides are ideal for energetic boys and dreamy girls.
• The height of the fences must be at least 20 cm higher than the mattress, because the higher the board, the less risk that the child will move over them in a dream.
• In some cases, such fencing may be located only at the head, and in others - around the entire circumference of the bed.
• Models with removable sides are very convenient - in the future they can be removed, and the children's bed will turn into a normal adult model.

Any teenage bed should ideally be equipped with various “useful” devices: lockers, drawers.There are variants of models, even with a chest of drawers - it is usually located on the side or at the head of the bed. It is very convenient: there you can fold children's clothes, bedding sets, even toys. Such bed will ideally fit into any room, saving square meters. If desired, she can replace even a children's wardrobe.

Usually the size of a teenage bed is almost the same as the size of an adult model: length - almost 1m 90cm. The width may be small, up to 80 cm, but those who buy it “for growth” can look after a model 90 cm wide. Today there is an opportunity to purchase a custom-made bed up to 1 m wide 20 cm.

A teenager should love his place to sleep, be happy to settle down on his “personal” territory, feeling comfort and convenience.

In order for the bed to fully satisfy all the necessary requirements, you need to pay attention to the following points when you buy.

• Wooden beds, especially from pine, are eco-friendly and will last for many years.
• It is advisable to choose the rack bottom of the model, then it will “breathe” and the teenager will be much more comfortable in it.
• The quality of the material must be confirmed by certificates that must be checked with the seller.
• The sides should be rounded, without sharp corners, and all the details - perfectly fit each other.
• In a high-quality bed, the price cannot be “surprisingly” low, but it is better not to save on the health of the child.
• Usually beds for a teenager are sold without a mattress, so it is better to buy an orthopedic one in it - it is perfect for the spine of a growing child.
• Should be chosen from proven manufacturers. The Italian company Baby Italia Dolly, the Russian manufacturers “Fairy”, “Antel” and “Red Star” have proven themselves well. Furniture from these companies is durable, comfortable and visually pleasing.
