Children's bed made of solid wood

Every parent wants to find the best and safest room for her baby, and first of all it concerns the bed, because it is the center of the nursery. The bed for kids from the massif of a tree is considered one of the best options for a berth.

It is not for nothing that solid wood is called one of the best materials for a children's bed, it has all the qualities that are most important when choosing for this type of furniture, namely:

Environmental friendliness. Solid wood is used for the manufacture of furniture for more than one century and has established itself as the most environmentally friendly material, such a bed will not cause allergies in a child.

Strength. Solid wood beds are great for active kids. Due to its durability, such a berth will be able to withstand very much, it will not break and will delight for many years.

Aesthetics. In addition to its practical qualities, the bed of this material is very beautiful, and still smells good. It will fit into any interior, due to the variety of forms and designs, for example, the eco-style is perfectly suited for the look of natural wood, the whitewashed bed will successfully fit into the Provence style.

When buying a bed from an array, it is important to determine what kind of wood you want to see in the nursery, it should fit well into the interior. Another important criterion is the price, which will be different for different breeds. Mostly beds are made from:

• Solid oak. This is one of the most durable and quality materials. Oak has a very dense texture, so the screws and fasteners do not loosen over time, and the bed itself will not creak and will not break. This version of the wooden bed is ideal for active children who love to jump on the bed.

• Ash. It can be called a good analogue of oak. It is strong, resistant to damage and has a very beautiful texture that resembles mahogany.

• Birch tree. This material is durable and at the same time flexible, which allows for grinding to make it perfectly smooth. In addition, the material is durable, and thanks to its beautiful special texture, the birch bed will fit into any interior and will not even require additional processing.

• Beech. Another strong, durable and very beautiful material. A beech bed will be cheaper than an oak one, but it will not yield to it in properties. In addition, the textured oak pattern is very attractive in appearance, and the paint falls on it perfectly smoothly, so that such a bed can be altered to your taste as you like.

• Pine. Another option is natural wood for making beds. Pine has unique disinfectant properties, hypoallergenicity is most pronounced in it, so if a child is allergic, it would be best to buy him a bed made of pine. Another pleasant property of beds made of solid pine is their relative cheapness.

One of the important parts of wooden furniture that you need to pay attention to is instability to moisture and a bad reaction to changes in temperature and humidity. So that these factors do not interfere with enjoying a wooden bed, it is subjected to a moisture-proof treatment. Poor quality processing can significantly reduce the beneficial properties of wood or even have toxic impurities in it, which is completely unacceptable when it comes to children.

Wooden products are usually treated with varnish, stain or paints, the color of which depends on the wishes. First, the surface is polished to make it as even as possible, and then apply a protective varnish. Protective varnishes are:

1. On alcohol. This varnish will look very nice and will make the bed shine, but it is unstable to moisture.
2. On the water. Varnish on water is good because it does not emit toxins and is safe for children, but it has the same drawback as varnish on alcohol: it will be practical only if the child is old enough and neat as it is unstable to moisture.
3. Nitrolac. It also does not emit toxic substances and is not afraid of water, but it is easily flammable, so it can be not only impractical, but also unsafe.
4. Oily or acrylic. This is perhaps the most suitable option for the nursery. The only drawback of this type is that it dries for a long time. Otherwise, it meets all the necessary parameters: it is not afraid of water, does not emit toxins, protects from damage, does not emit unpleasant odors.

In order not to get confused in this variety, several basic types should be distinguished:

• With sliding mechanism. When choosing a bed from an array, many often face a dilemma with the problem of the rapid growth of the child. To avoid it there is a simple solution-bed with a sliding mechanism.Such a purchase will be a very profitable investment, some models with this mechanism can move up to 200 cm in length, so it will be used from early childhood to adolescence.

• Duplex bed. If there are two children in the house, the best solution would be to purchase a bunk bed made of natural wood. It is compact, reliable, often has built-in drawers, cabinets and many other various accessories, and it can cost much cheaper than buying the entire headset separately.

• Loft bed. All children like bunk beds, and if the child is alone, this is no reason to deny him such pleasure. A bed of such a bed is always equipped with strong wooden sides that protects against falls, and in some models it is even possible to adjust the height. In addition, this option perfectly saves space due to the built-in desk, cabinet or all together.

• Carved. The texture of natural wood allows you to perform truly incredible actions with it. For example, decorate with carvings. The carved bed will look rich and stylish, children will like it no less than adults and will decorate the nursery, however not every carved bed will fit into any interior, therefore, it is necessary to choose very carefully.

• Stylized. Such models will definitely appeal to all children, there may be cars, and houses decorated with trees, in the form of a pirate ship, in general, the spectrum is limited only by the imagination of manufacturers. And the most important thing is that with the help of tools the tree can take any form, so it is not at all necessary to buy a bed with plastic elements. For such a bed, you can specially equip a room, and the nursery will look like a fairy-tale forest or a race track.

• Sofa bed. Wooden frames in the sofas are also not uncommon and are a success, but here it is also important to pay attention to some details. As in the case of a bed, it is better if it is hardwood, rather than coniferous, it is also important to pay attention to the fact that all the traumatic parts are safely hidden inside.
