Choosing a cot with drawers

When a baby appears in a happy family, parents try to provide them with maximum comfort during sleep. An older child also needs a comfortable bed. After all, he learns and knows the world, and needs a good rest. There are many models on the market for every taste, but I would like to dwell on a universal crib with drawers.

Like any child's things, a bed with drawers has its advantages and disadvantages.

This furniture has the following advantages:

• first of all, the design allows you to get additional storage space for children's supplies that you can get without leaving your baby;
• drawers give furniture additional stability;
• You can choose the right size for any age that will make the child’s sleep as comfortable as possible;
• compactness of models allows to save the area of ​​the room;
• Many beds are equipped with a removable side that will not allow a small child to fall out of the bed.

The disadvantages of this model are the following:

• cumbersome;
• children can play with boxes and injure themselves;
• some boxes do not have a lid on top, which is fraught with the accumulation of dust on top of stored items;
• in the design of a large number of elements that may eventually loosen.

Varieties of beds with drawers very much. They vary in design, age and size.

There are several options for beds with drawers.

• For the smallest or so-called nursery bed. It has a size of 120x60 cm and is calculated on average up to three years of age of a child. Classic bed is made of solid wood. The box is usually located under the bottom and serves to store diapers and bedding.
• Cot with drawers and pendulum for newborns. It has the same functionality as the previous model, and is also equipped with a pendulum mechanism for rocking a baby, which is convenient for restless babies.

• Transforming bed. This model will last until the end of adolescence, since, initially having the typical dimensions of 120x60 cm, it is moved apart to the size of a single bed 180x60 cm. This is achieved by sliding the dresser standing next to the playpen to the floor.
• Sleeper with drawers for a teenager. The previous bed is universal, but due to this the size of the bed is very small. The best option would be a queen-size bed, and space savings can be achieved by purchasing a model with drawers.
• Bed attic with drawers. This is a very popular model for older children. The boxes along with the shelves in it can be located under the bottom of the bed, on the side of it and in the elements of the ladder upstairs.

• Sofa with drawers. This is a version of the bed, made mainly of soft materials. It has a back and a side piece.There are options in the form of toys or carriages and cars. In the bottom of the built-in storage space for toys or bedding.
• The couch with storage space. Such a bed has only a headboard, and basically a storage box is located under the bottom.
• Ottoman with drawers. This model is represented by a rather narrow sofa without a back or with soft pillows instead. Such a model is very much in demand at the present time, and its storage space makes it even more comfortable.
• Roll out bed for two children. Drawers here are located mainly on the side in the form of a small chest of drawers. The bottom of one bed extends and represents a second bed.

Each parent cares about the health of their child, so it is important to choose a crib from harmless materials and coatings. When you shop in each store, you need to ask for quality certificates, which indicate the composition of these substances. Preference should be given to beds with drawers from a wooden array, but such a bed can pretty empty your wallet. The most affordable option would be a pine cot.

Higher quality, but also at cost will be furniture made of beech, oak, birch, alder. Nowadays, wenge is a very popular tree for making furniture. It is a valuable tropical breed. This solid wood of dark saturated color is resistant to damage and other adverse environmental factors. The price category of furniture from wenge belongs rather to the class above the average.

A beautiful, but less durable example of furniture are beds made of laminated chipboard and MDF. They differ in a large palette of shades and design options. LDSP is still not recommended to choose as the main material for the manufacture of nursery, as the material can release toxic substances into the surrounding air. A berth with boxes for a child from such material is in the middle segment of price policy. Plastic models are also in demand. The polymer does not deteriorate over time, and is also easy to clean and very cheap.
