Round children's beds

A cot for a newborn is not just a place to rest, because literally everything in the baby’s life depends on it: how it will grow and develop, whether it will fall from it, how it will sleep. It is here that most of the life of the baby goes, so the choice of a cradle should be approached with particular attention to the smallest details. Options for the design of such furniture, there are many, but the round children's beds have appeared recently, but have already managed to win great respect from many young parents. Pay attention to this model - suddenly this is exactly what you need.

Like any other product, a round cot has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is worth starting with the fact that consumers are so fond of this particular form - with its advantages:

• Today, great attention is paid to the issues of modern and unique design., and the round bed as much as possible corresponds to similar requests. She is also completely not tied to the walls - you can easily put it even in the center of the nursery, and then the baby will have a wonderful overview of his room.

• Small children, reaching the age when physical activity is already quite developedand they often sleep restlessly, spinning in their sleep - and so on. The shape of the round bed doesn’t prevent you from doing this, it improves the quality of sleep. In addition, there are no sharp corners, which means that it is safer

• The central location of the round bed in the nursery is not just a designer whim.. It is very practical. Babies need a lot of attention to themselves, if necessary, parents can quickly come to the cradle from any side - exactly where it is needed.

It cannot be said that such a solution has many shortcomings, but still there are. They are relatively insignificant, but in some cases they can become a real obstacle to the purchase of a round cot:

• Because of its shape, such furniture takes up quite a lot of space, Especially if you put it in the middle of a room, so in the conditions of a strictly limited space this choice is inapplicable. As for the boxes or other useful additions, they are usually either absent altogether, or additionally increase the dimensions of the product.

• There are round transforming beds, plus of which - in the possibility of increasing the bed as the baby grows.

• Usually round cribs are in the class of prestigious furniture.They look beautiful and unique, but at the same time they are quite expensive. Models with a favorable price offer are also found, but they are relatively few, so you have to look for them for quite some time.
• The unusual shape of the bed requires an unusual mattressand this is also a problem. The comparative novelty and high cost of the bed automatically reduce the demand for it, so you cannot find it far from large cities. If you can order delivery from afar when buying the furniture itself, then the mattress is unlikely to

This option is worthy of attention, but it should be given preference only after all possible risks have been taken into account.

The seeming simplicity of the bed did not prevent the designers from inventing a whole range of its varieties. If the classic model simply stands on four legs and differs from other cribs only in the shape of a berth, then all the other options have other characteristic differences.

For example, a hanging round bed combines the best qualities of a crib and swing, although it costs quite expensive, and the child will grow out of it rather quickly. This option is exclusively for the rich. The pendulum bed is somewhat similar in its essence, but at least it allows limiting the swinging amplitude, which is useful in a security context. However, over time, its mechanism may begin to creak, making it difficult for the baby to sleep.

A semicircular additional bed with its even side does not have a side - with this edge it is attached to the parent bed. It is very convenient to quickly lull the awakened baby, and from the point of view of psychology it is very useful.

Special attention is given to the transformer, which allows you to increase the length of the bed. This increases the service life by several years. Some models 5 in 1 and 6 in 1 at the same time allow future use as other pieces of furniture - for example, a playpen, a sofa, a table with chairs.

Please note that the term “round beds” includes not only those products that have the shape of an ideal circle, but also oval models, and it is the latter that make up the majority. Ideal round options are impractical due to their relatively small size and too short useful life.

If financial opportunities allow, it is possible to purchase a baby bed at first only for the first six months - then its dimensions will be 90 × 45 cm or so. For up to 3 years you will have to choose something much more spacious, because the typical size of such furniture is 120 × 65 cm.

Here, the dimensions are even larger, count somewhere at 140 × 70 cm. Do not be surprised if the claimed length seems too big for children of this age - the corners are rounded, so the tip cannot be considered a full-fledged part of the bed.

As for the transformers, it all depends on how long the size can be increased - or what other pieces of furniture it will then turn into. A bed combined with a dresser can take up no less space than a full-sized adult bed, so even 190 × 80 cm is not the limit.

In fact, the choice of good round beds is limited to three materials - wood, metal and MDF. There are also models made of plywood or chipboard, but they do not meet the main requirement - safety, because these products can produce harmful fumes.

The best choice - of course, a bed made of solid natural wood. If we talk about specific varieties, then birch, alder and maple are leading, and pine is a softer, but also more budget material. Pay attention not only to the base material, but also to varnish or paint. They, too, must be of high quality, and a strong smell is a reason to think about whether to buy a product.

As in the case of any other product, the choice of the model by the manufacturer’s popularity can play an important role in making a purchase. As a rule, well-known brands are not in vain at the hearing - they are praised for quality, so you can count on a bargain at the very moment when you saw a familiar brand name.

If we talk about specific manufacturers, so far there are not so many of them.A significant part of consumers prefer products of domestic producers - companies "My baby". Due to the Russian origin, such a bed will be much cheaper, and its quality will be at the level of good foreign analogues.

For those who believe that his child deserves only the best examples, there are round cribs Italian brands. One of the most famous among them is the brand. Incanto, characterized by the production of very functional transformers, up to 7 in 1. Italians care about the health of children, so in the process of making furniture they use only natural materials.

Another Italian brand is Nuovita. This is an undoubted elite class, since the beds are made of beech wood and cost a lot. This company also pays great attention to the additional functions of the bed, and most importantly - it has an excellent range of products.

A mattress of a similar form is often included in the package, but if it is not there, you will have to buy it separately. As for other useful accessories, silicone lining on the sides will be useful, because during the period of the appearance of teeth, children often gnaw the railing, which can cause injury and damage the furniture.

A mattress cover should also ideally be natural - say, cotton, while synthetic fabrics are less preferable. As for the size, the mattress should correspond to the shape and size of the bed, while the height is not particularly important.

Bed linen can be any, the main thing is that it is enough for it in size, and also so that you can fill it correctly. Again, try to choose only a natural product. You can purchase a special sheet on an elastic band, then you can attach it to the sides, and the baby, tossing and turning, will not be able to crush it or pull it off.

The prevailing number of reviews about round beds from those who decided to buy them, is positive. The absolute majority of models are equipped with wheels, which is very convenient for cleaning. The possibility of controlling the level of the bottom is also called very practical. If one of the sides is removed, transforming an ordinary round cot into an additional bed, this will further increase the functionality of the product. It can be noted that usually parents are satisfied with the perfect purchase.

Negative opinions are also found, but they are relatively few. Especially dissatisfied with those who chose cots of the smallest size - often they are quite cramped, even for a six-month-old baby. Another point - this is not a very wide range of special bedding, which, however, can be replaced with the usual. Criticism is also related to high prices, but people who complain about this factor have usually not been convinced that all the advantages of such products are available.
