Popular bunk bed sizes

In the modern range of children's furniture, you can "get lost." The choice of consumers is represented by a great variety of different models, differing in their designs, and functional components, and design. However, when choosing the optimal model for the child, you must also take into account the size of the furniture. Today we will look at which sizes of demanded bunk beds are the most popular.

Bunk beds have been popular for many years. Similar items of furniture are purchased not only to accommodate two children. Often in these beds the lower "floor" is not allocated for a bed, but as a corner for games, sports or comfortable rest - everything depends on the specific modification of a particular model, and there are a lot of them.

The main advantages of these popular products are:

• saving free space in the nursery, especially if we are talking about a multi-functional model with a sofa, a wardrobe and a table;
• multifunctionality (you can not only sleep in such furniture, but also store various things in it or do homework / play);
• these beds are presented by the huge range in which it is possible to find model of any style and color;
• you should not be afraid of the upper floors of two-level beds - for younger children they sell products in which the second tier is equipped with a side warning the fall of the baby;
• Such options for cots are usually manufactured with high strength and maximum reliability, so you can safely talk about their safety;
• correctly selected two-level bed is able to decorate the interior;
• it is possible to put a bed with two tiers in any part of the room;
• in the furniture stores you can find two-level beds,equipped with drawers and drawers for storing various things, thanks to which you can refuse to place another closet in the room.

Bunk beds have not only advantages, but also the following disadvantages:

• as a rule, such models are more expensive than regular beds, especially if supplemented by multifunctional mechanisms;
• in the conditions of a room with low ceilings, sleeping on the second tier may not be very comfortable, since air exchange in such a situation becomes scarce;
• if a child is afraid of heights, then such furniture will not suit him at all;
• overly active children may fall off the second tier, and even the side bumps may not save here, so parents will always have to be on the alert.

There are several modifications of bunk cots, which differ from each other in structure and construction.

• Models with 2 sections. In these designs there is a removable upper tier, so the bed will easily turn into a traditional place to sleep.
• Bunk models for one child. Differently, these beds are called "loft". In them the bed is present only on top,and the lower “floor” is usually reserved for other elements, for example, a sofa, a table, a play area or a large chest of drawers.
• With game functionality. In these embodiments, the lower floor may be a small playground. The second tier, as in the case of an attic bed, is allocated under the bed for sleeping. Often, these types of children's furniture are made in the form of machines, airplanes, spaceships and other similar objects.
• Transformers. These models are especially popular today, despite the high cost. In such cases, the upper bed can either be removed or rotated at a different angle. Transformers are particularly useful in a small area.
• Modular. Similar types of bunk beds have additions in the form of capacious cases, boxes or a dresser.
• With fixed tiers. This furniture can not be divided, because it is a single structure.
• Half-tier. In these types of two-level beds, the first tier can be pushed under the second, thereby freeing up a lot of free space. Such furniture is not suitable for hyperactive children, because under the influence of constant jumps can fail.

Modern beds for children, consisting of two tiers, are made from different materials. It is very important to pay attention to this parameter when selecting the ideal model.

The most reliable and safe is considered to be the most popular beds made of natural wood. A bed made of solid wood is an ideal solution, since in such a natural material there are no chemical compounds and no hazardous substances. It is absolutely safe to sleep on such furniture, even if there is hot weather outside the window.

Wooden structures can boast excellent strength characteristics and long service life. Often such furniture is passed from generation to generation, because it remains relevant even after many years. Wooden duplex beds have a wonderful design. They will easily fit into both classic and modern interior.

However, we must bear in mind that a two-level bed made of natural wood will not be cheap, especially if it is equipped with various functional details, for example, a transforming mechanism. In addition, wood as a material requires regular maintenance - it must be treated with protective compounds, otherwise it will lose its original appearance, crack and even begin to rot in certain conditions.

Much cheaper are beds from MDF. This material is less demanding because it does not need to be looked after. Such furniture can be made in any form and style. MDF is a safe material that does not harm human health.

In search of the cheapest option you can stay on the bed of chipboard. This material is affordable, but more often it is made from simpler furniture of nondescript design. Moreover, as part of the DSP there are dangerous formaldehydes that can harm the health of the child. That is why you should not buy such products for children. Of course, you can find an option from chipboard class E-1, however, in stores there are too many products that are made from ordinary chipboard, but sold under the guise of designs made of material class E-1.

Choosing a suitable two-level bed, you should pay attention not only to its design and manufacturing material, but also to its size. Such furniture should correspond to the height and age of the young user.

Based on the parameters of the bed, a suitable mattress is chosen for it.

• Babies from the day of birth and up to 3 years old are ideally suited to standard models with a size of 119x64 cm. If the child is small, then such furniture will be relevant even when he reaches 5 years.
• For children aged 3 to 5 years, it is advisable to buy bunk beds with dimensions (standard) of 141x71 cm, 160x70 cm, or 196 cm.
• For children from 7 to 13 years old, products with dimensions of 70 by 180 cm -91x201 cm will do. Such furniture is close to adult single versions.
• For teenagers, modern manufacturers produce two-level beds with such dimensional parameters - 180x90 cm, 190x90 cm.

When deciding on a specific size of a children's two-level bed, it is recommended to give preference to models that are slightly larger.Thus, the child will sleep on them as comfortably as possible, and the furniture will not have to be changed too quickly. Do not take very small options, as the young user will not be very comfortable in such conditions and he will grow out of them faster.

The size of the selected furniture should also be influenced by the area of ​​the room. For this reason, before going to the furniture salon, you should carefully measure the room in which you plan to place the product.

Today, you can order furniture in stores according to individual customer sizes. Such models are more expensive, but you can not worry about the fact that the child will be uncomfortable to sleep on them.
