Due to the space saving, in contrast to the bed, additional space for games is formed, the lower drawer of the furniture allows you to comfortably accommodate sleeping accessories. Laying out and collecting the sofa, the child seems to play in the designer, simulating his space.

For children aged 3 to 5 years, not so much the design of the crib, so much security. therefore the best option for this age group are sofa beds with sides. Such models protect the child from involuntary falling at night, from the bedding slipping. It is recommended for small children for safety reasons to consider sofa beds with unstable bumpers.

For older children, the choice of models of sofa beds is more diverse.

These models include eurobook. Its main disadvantages are the unevenness of the bed because of the joints, the lack of armrests.

Inflatable beds, sofas are good to use for trips to nature, so that a tired child can comfortably take a nap, when traveling to visit or for unexpected guests with children. They are compact, but do not differ in durability, durability and comfort.

In the children's sofa beds are used two main types of sliding mechanisms: roll-out and folding.

Sofas of the first type are distinguished by their compactness, the presence of a drawer for storing bed linen, the absence of bed deformation after it has been folded. It should be borne in mind that when unfolded, the sleeping place will be lower than the place for sitting in the assembled state. Because of the thin mattress, it is recommended to use a mattress pad with orthopedic characteristics. The mattress cover protects the bed from mechanical damage, stains and dust mite (Demodex).

Models with roll-out mechanism, made of an array, are distinguished by their weight. Therefore, a child aged 3-7 years alone can not decompose such a sofa.

Unlike the first type, children's sofa beds with a sliding mechanism are distinguished by a greater height of the mattress - more than 8 centimeters. But the sofas of this type are more suitable for children over 7 years old. This is especially true of models with a click-klyak mechanism due to three possible options for using a berth: in a sitting, semi-sitting and lying position.

Furniture with the mechanism "dolphin»Differs in capacity (a big berth) and ease in operation: are easily displayed and collected. This model is suitable for square rooms due to the particular location of the sofa bed.

There is a huge variety of forms of sofas for children, so as not to get lost in this sea of ​​interior delights, we recommend choosing a sofa according to the age, gender and nature of the child. Small children will be interested in sofas resembling toys: in the form of cars, carriages, soft toys. For example, model panda.

Girls, lovers of cats and style will be interested in models of sofas, made in the style of Hello Kitty, a character who has become so popular among children and teenagers thanks to the Japanese artist. For boys, you can consider the sofa-gnome, Winnie, Chung-chang, Makvin.

Children of younger preschool age will be interested in models made in the form of a house, a rainbow.

The child wants to live in his fairy-tale world, in which there is a place to sleep and to play. For boys of the elementary primary school, models of beds in the form of racing cars, ships, or an exotic model will be interesting. Their hearts are torn to meet adventures. But at the same time the sofa should also be functional, filled with drawers, it should be interesting to transform.

The choice of sofa bed size depends on several criteria:

• child's height,
• child's age
• the size of the room in which the piece of furniture will be placed.

For children up to 7-10 years old enough single bed, for older children - a 1.5-bed. The main thing is to have a place for a free and restful sleep.Children are characterized by increased excitability and lability, which affects their sleep. It is important that their sleeping place takes into account the consequences of the restless dream of children and there is a place for expressions, turning over.

It must be remembered that the child is constantly growing and the sofa is bought not for 1 year, therefore the length of a berth is better to be considered with a margin, it should be more than 30 centimeters in height. A low sofa is preferable for children of preschool and primary school age due to its ease of use and safety.

The main requirements for children's furniture are environmental friendliness and safety, practicality and interesting design. A variety of materials are used to create children's sofas.

Upholstery of eco-leather and leather sofas has its advantages and disadvantages. The indisputable advantages of sofas from this material include: the convenience of washing them, they do not accumulate dust. The disadvantages include the following: the material is heated by the warmth of the skin, cuts are difficult to mask and restore, expensive chemical materials are required to remove difficult stains on light-colored surfaces.

Wet blue and black jeans can be a serious problem for owners of eco-leather and leather furniture because of the high probability of leaving marks on light-colored surfaces, cuts and holes from metal fittings. Therefore, it is not recommended to purchase models of white color.

The most practical is the upholstery of tapestry fabrics and chenille. They have high strength, are easy to clean and wash, especially from difficult stains. If the upholstery was torn, then it can easily be changed by pulling the sofa. It does not hit hard on the budget, unlike the case with leather and eco-leather.

Upholstery of phlox and velor is not suitable for children's beds because of the high probability of scuffing.

Sofas made of natural wood, solid wood, unlike other materials, are more environmentally friendly. For a long time, the smell of wood is preserved throughout their use, especially if it is an array of pine or spruce. A stable solid wood frame makes it possible to withstand heavy loads that arise as a result of the active games of children as compared to plywood frames. Furniture with a metal frame is also characterized as durable and reliable to use, but heavy and traumatic in case of poor quality performance of the piece of furniture. But such sofas have one drawback to use - they are heavy. A small child under the age of 7-9 years is unlikely to be able to independently assemble after sleep and disassemble the furniture for sleeping.

The frameworks of sofas made of thick plywood (more than 8 mm) are distinguished by ease when folding and gathering a berth, the attractive price of such furniture interior, a variety of designs. It is not recommended for children to purchase models made of fibreboard and particleboard due to the high probability of using glue that emits harmful fumes.

Sofa fillers are printed and spring loaded. Spring is better not to buy for children under 7 years old. Otherwise, the bed can become an unsafe trampoline. For children older than three years, it is better to consider fillers such as polyurethane foam, which is environmentally friendly and has the quick ability to return to its original appearance, holofiber and sintepon.

In choosing a sofa bed, its color plays a big role. It should be beautiful, but non-markable, non-acidic shades, which dispose the child to sleep.But this does not mean that you can not buy white furniture for children. Modern capes, covers can easily prevent the problem of stains. But the bed of white color will visually expand the child’s room.

Sofa beds in beige colors, including pink, especially attract little princesses. The use of black in models of sofas allows you to solve the problem of stains. But this color does not carry an optimistic mood, it is more suitable for adult consumers.

Sleeping places of blue, blue, green, red colors are suitable for boys. They are in demand form of the car, train, ship, or with images of superheroes on the upholstery. The boys concentrate their attention not so much on the color, as on the design.

Black color is universal. It is suitable for both boys and girls. In addition, psychologists advise to move away from the common clichés about flowers and stay on neutral colors. It is recommended to choose a sofa for children consisting of no more than two, three colors so that this piece of furniture can be in harmony with the whole interior of the room.

• When purchasing furniture for children, it is necessary to pay attention to such details as:
• The smell of glue and paint. Beds should not emit synthetic odors;
• Reliability and the absence of traumatic fasteners and the accuracy of the upholstery lines. It is important that all fastenings are made of high-quality fittings, then the furniture will last a long time.
• Ease of operation. The ability to independently clean the coating from stains, ease of use of the sliding mechanism. This is especially true for children over five years old, who strive to be independent and independent.
• The materials from which the furniture is made. Preference is better to give sofas made from environmentally friendly, natural materials. For boys, a bed is suitable, characterized by increased strength due to their restless nature. Sofas with springs are suitable for children over 7 years old because of the high probability of their improper use - for jumping. During operation, they should not make extraneous sounds, squeak.
• Security. It is necessary to choose furniture according to the age of the child. For children from three to seven years, models without sides are not recommended, with a high place to sleep.
• The size of the bed should correspond to the height, weight of the child.
• The transformation mechanism should not jam, the elements of the sofa warp during operation.
