Children's folding beds

Cots for children can be of various shapes and modifications. On one of the most popular of these models - folding - and will be discussed in our article.

From the positive aspects of this type of furniture are the following:

• Excellent build quality and material.
• Saving space.
• Security.
• Interesting design.

Do not forget about the negative aspects of this furniture:

• Some cheap models are characterized by poor quality mechanisms. With the active play activity of children, the result will be the failure of these elements.
• Not all beds are equipped with a rack bottom, which, by the way, ventilates the bed and due to this unpleasant smell does not accumulate in such models. If you find in the bed of the bottom of the plywood is better to replace it with a rack.
• Inexpensive models are usually made of several materials that are not always safe for the health of the child.

Consider some categories of folding bed options.

In this category of furniture for kids, two types of folding options are worth noting:

• The frame is made of metal. Such a model for children is distinguished by enviable compactness in assembled form and when unfolded it turns into a full-fledged sleeping bed. It is easy to transport, since the model provides for wheels, which is very convenient if parents are going on a trip or to nature. The weight of this design varies from 7 to 15 kilograms. The frame is made of metal with a cloth with mesh elements, sometimes comes with a mattress in the kit. Such a variant of furniture can easily become a play area for a child — an arena, which is very convenient during long trips;

• Option of wood. It features a transformation function. This model is ideal if the baby was recently born. After all, fencing, which is provided with a model of this type of furniture, will reliably protect your baby from falling. As the baby grows, the baby's sleeping bed gradually turns into a full bed.

Here are the options for such furniture:

• Growing beds. Furniture is characterized by the property of sliding apart as the child grows up. Used from the very birth of a child to adolescence. Some models are available with protective sides. Material - natural wood.

• Loft bed. If there is a small child in the house, then his bed is still closer to the floor. As soon as he grows up, the bed will be slightly higher than usual. Thus, the lower space is released for games and other activities.

• Eurobook. The mechanism of deployment of a berth is so elementary that the smallest master of the berth will cope with it with joy. The whole process consists of two points: pushing the sofa seat forward and lowering the backrest from a normal position to a perpendicular one.
• Sofa bed with roll-out mechanism. In this model, the back of the sofa remains in the same position. The process of folding is quite painstaking, so parents must come to the aid of the child.

• Sedoflex. The principle of transformation is taken from the "clamshell". In this model, only that part of the bed on which we are sitting moves, while the armrests and the backrest remain in their original condition.
• Tiered beds. Such models are designed to position several children on it. There are two-and three-tier. In the sliding version of the lower part rolls out from under the top.

Perfect for small rooms. There are vertical and horizontal:

• Vertical folding bed. It happens single, double and a half. In any case, this bed requires no low ceilings. This model is fixed to the wall, so it is necessary that the carrying capacity of wall panels was high. In this case, the following mechanisms are used: spring, pneumatic, gas or electric.

• Horizontal folding bed. This bed fits in a niche cabinet, and to bring it into a horizontal position requires little effort. Happen single or one and a half.

One of the significant disadvantages of this design is that you can not put anything in place of the bed. This zone can be used either as a playroom, or for the same folding furniture. If the room has such a structure, then it will be necessary to provide an option for relaxing during the daytime: a sofa or a mini-sofa:

• Embedded. This is a unique option of a folding bed that can be transformed either in the hallway or in the children's table. Very fond of children.
• Transformer bunk beds. Saving space with this model will be provided. Of the minuses: the high cost.

The upper tier of this model of furniture is usually stationary or in some cases retracts into the wall, while the lower part can be made in the form of a folding structure or a transformer bed, which is easily transformed into other furniture. The material of this design is MDF, chipboard or high-strength steel.
