Children's folding beds

Children on average require much more space than adults, and they usually give them the smallest room in an apartment. As a result, parents have to wrestle with how to put everything they need in the nursery, and leave enough space for active games. The situation is especially aggravated if there are two or more children in the family, because the overwhelming majority of old-type dwellings are not objectively designed for large families. Folding beds for children can be a good solution to this problem.

Older people will probably think that we are talking here about ordinary Soviet-type folding beds, however, now you’re practically unable to find such products - modern requirements for comfort and lack of harm to health negate all the prospects for such furniture. The folding bed of our days is designed to provide conditions of rest, which would be no different from those guaranteed by any other standard bed. At the same time much attention is paid maximum savings in space and ease of transportation if the need arises.

Another factor contributing to the choice of a large number of consumers in favor of this particular product is good variety of models produced. Finally, a child does not always sleep at home - many families have their own summer cottages, and it is difficult to get separate beds for an apartment and a country house.

If we talk about the specific advantages of such a solution, they are on the surface:

• Most manufacturers of children's furniture of this type take into account the basic requirements put forward to the goods for children, and this, first of all, ecological purity of the materials used. In addition, since we are talking about a bed for a child, a good orthopedic effect is ensured, because it is at this vital stage that the spine and posture are formed.
• This is without exaggeration the most compact bed, since all other options are usually either heavy enough, or strictly tied to the place where they are installed. The clamshell baby not only folds when nobody sleeps on it, expanding the free space, but also easily moves to any secluded corner. The child himself can easily handle it.
• Foldable bed predictable turns out to be much cheaperrather than the absolute majority of alternatives. In the case of adults, it is worth buying an expensive bed, because it can last for several decades, and in the case of a child, it must be remembered that it is constantly growing, so the bed will have to be changed several times. Make it much easier if you choose an inexpensive but convenient folding option.

• The fear of many parents is caused by the fact that children love to use the bed as a trampoline, and the clamshell does not seem suitable for such entertainment because of its lightness and external fragility - and it will break, and the child as a result may be injured. In fact, now such furniture is usually made taking into account the possibility of such situations, therefore clamshell release not only durable, but also stable.
• Having laid out a little more money for a more expensive cot, You can purchase a sufficiently durable model. Even if its dimensions are very limited, you can still find a plus in this, for example, if there are many children in a family.If the baby is one and the others are not planned, as it grows, the product can be simply resold, returning some of the money spent in its time.

Only at first glance, a baby cot will seem too simple to not have any varieties, but in reality there are not so few of them.

First of all, you should consider the very classical model to which everyone is biased. It is not necessary so - now it is much more reliable, and more convenient. The folding bed of the classical type has a fabric basis, mainly of non-natural origin, which is distinguished by the highest durability and reliability.

Models of this type are chosen mainly for minimum weight and extremely low cost. However, there are quite a few shortcomings in such a solution, and the most important thing is that it does not provide any benefit to the back of a growing organism. The degree of support for the spine depends heavily on the scale of the base subsidence, but it is also not stable, because over time, any tissue stretches and the springs relax. In addition, this bed is usually not sold with a mattress. You can lie on it without it, but for a comfortable sleep you need to buy it, which means that you will have to think about this problem as well.

The disadvantages of the classic model largely determine the popularity of a variety of a folding bed on the sipes. Lamellae are an alternative to fabric-based - these are transverse wooden boards of small thickness and width, attached directly to the body. They provide sufficient stiffness to support the back during sleep in the correct position, but at the same time they have a certain elasticity, somewhat sagging under the weight of the child. The modified base withstands an average of one and a half to two times the heavy loads (100-120 kilograms, up to 250), and also "breathes", passing heat and moisture. All these advantages successfully level the only small drawback - a slightly higher price, which, in addition, has one more practical reason - such beds are almost always sold complete with the already chosen comfortable mattress.

The orthopedic clamshell on the lamellae is also good because it can be additionally equipped with various small bonuses. Some varieties are complemented by a wooden headboard, which does not allow the pillow to fall, and when folded it turns into a sort of table - this solution is called bed-dresser. For beds of comparatively large weights, equipment is provided with wheels in the middle - then when folded, it resembles a large suitcase on wheels, which simplifies its transportation.

It should be noted that occasionally even folding beds on an armor mesh, which by most indicators can be called something averaged between fabric folding beds and orthopedic models on lamellae, can be found.

Since the choice of a children's bed depends not only on convenience, but also on the safety and health of the child, many parents prefer to trust not so much their own intuition as the experience of previous consumers. In other words, they are trying to somewhat narrow down the potential choice of clamshells, preferring only those brands that have already managed to earn some respect among buyers. If you belong specifically to those customers, be sure to pay attention to the manufacturers, which are discussed below.

Predictably, the main demand is focused on models of domestic production, among them the company's beds are of stable popularity. "Dream M". The manufacturer itself positions its model range as beds for the villa, as it manufactures products with a textile base, however, unlike many competitors, it immediately completes the product with a mattress.

If we talk about models designed for constant sleep, then the brand products are of the greatest consumer interest. "Relax". The price will be about three times higher - get ready to give a few thousand rubles, but you can not worry about the orthopedic moment, because eleven birch lamellae will provide reliable protection of the back and allow you to withstand up to 200 kilograms of load. The furniture is completed with a thick mattress of foam, providing maximum comfort during sleep.

Choosing a cot for a baby, one should make a start from his age as well - the only way to determine the dimensions of the product and a sufficient level of withstand load.

Since the folding bed can be changed quite often, it should be as large as possible to fit the current parameters of the child. It is recommended to choose a bed, the length of the child's height by 15-20 centimeters; width is about 80 centimeters for children from 3 to 10 years, and 90-100 centimeters - for teenagers. The height of the product in this case is not so important, but for kids bed level with mattress should not exceed half a meterotherwise it will not be easy to get there by yourself.
