Species

For an adult child older than 2 years, in principle, there are two basic attributes of furniture that can be suitable for sleeping.

  • Sofas. Modern manufacturers produce a huge range of this type of furniture that is suitable for sleeping children from the age of two. Sofas with sides not only allow the child to sleep comfortably, but also protect it from falling.
  • The beds. There are many types of them and each child can choose the bed that he wants. Usually they are equipped with quite spacious drawers, in which bedding and toys can be folded. Also beds for a child of two years old and older need installation of bumpers.Beds with sides are of two types: with hard sides and with soft ones. The second type is not very convenient because over time from a constant load the fabric on the soft sides can tear, and they will cease to bear the function of protection. Also in some beds there is a combination protection. These are the hard sides covered with a fabric. But this is not very good on the part of cleanliness, since it is unlikely that they will be washed. There are beds with removable sides, which is convenient later, when they are no longer needed.

Dimensions

When choosing a bed for your child, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the bed should be at least 30 cm longer than your child. If this condition is not met, the child will be uncomfortable to sleep, he will constantly rest his feet on the back.

That is why the size of 120x60 cm is already too small for a child of two years. The bed size of 90x200 cm will be too big for the baby and it will also be uncomfortable in it.

The most suitable bed size for a child over two years old is 70x140 cm and 80x150 cm. In this case, your child will feel comfortable and sleepy.

Materials

Like everything in the nursery, the materials for the bed should choose natural.For example, excellent beds in the nursery will be made of solid beech, birch, pine.

Metal beds for children look beautiful, but metal is a cold material, and your baby will experience discomfort when it comes in contact with it, especially during the period when there is no heating in the house. Most of all it concerns the side on the bed. He may have to curtain at bedtime.

It is very neat to buy furniture made from laminated chipboard and MDF, as these plates are made using different resins that can be toxic. It is easy to check, smelling the bed. Toxic resins for the most part have a persistent unpleasant smell that does not erode for many months.

Bright acid colors and a glossy shine of lacquer are also usually attached to furniture with the help of substances that are harmful in composition. Therefore, in the nursery from such a beautiful, but far from useful color, it is still worth giving up.

Features and benefits

When choosing a bed for a child, first of all it is necessary to consider the safety of the materials from which it is made. Therefore, it is better to choose natural, and be sure to ask for a certificate of quality for the purchased products.

But what should look like a bed for an older baby?

First of all, a bed for two-year-old children should be equipped with sides. The child is still too small to control his actions in a dream, so very often he falls from the bed. The side mounted on the half of the bed, in most cases, will not allow the child to fall down.

The sides on the bed have several advantages:

  1. they do not allow the child to fall;
  2. they do not allow the blanket and pillow to crawl.

But there are enough shortcomings:

  1. do not allow air to circulate;
  2. if they are out of the crossbar the child’s handle may be stuck;
  3. if the sides are not removed, such a bed will not suit a child of school age;
  4. You can accidentally hit the side.

It is necessary to pay attention to the base of the crib. It should consist of solid bars and rack bases. This is necessary so that the glued bars do not crumble under possible jumps, and the slats provide good ventilation to the mattress.
