The area for rest and sleep is one of the most important details in the bedroom, especially when it comes to the children's room.
It is here that the child should recuperate after an active day or play activities.
Each age has its own characteristics, so the bed is needed in accordance with certain age characteristics.
How to choose a crib?
A sleeping place for a child, regardless of the age norm, has common characteristics that are suitable for any gender:
- natural materials for manufacturing - it is better to give preference to wood (sanded wood), if the bed has a coating, then the funds must have all the necessary quality certificates;
- the absence of sharp corners - will protect the child from injury;
- stability - the presence of wheels or a pendulum is relevant only in the first months of life, after which the bed should be firmly fixed.
All other requirements are considered depending on the age of the child. The main requirements for choosing a crib, we will consider below.
Types of bunk beds
As a rule, the very first cribs involve use for 3-4 years. They have special protective sides that protect the baby from a possible fall. Also for safety purposes, a protective bumper is used.
The classic version implies the presence of a rectangular bed with four legs on the base. As for the differences, this is directly related to the overall size of this piece of furniture.
In some cases, parents purchase an adult single bed, this is due to saving money. Modern varieties of cribs have an unusual design based on the interests and hobbies of children.
There are models that include drawers, which are mainly used to store baby clothes or toys. There are beds that are equipped on one side with a changing table. This is a more compact option than purchasing a separate chest of drawers for changing.
An equally popular option is a rocking bed. When choosing, you should consider several features and rules:
- the presence of a smooth swing for a calm motion sickness;
- absence of extraneous sounds (squeaks, noises);
- locking mechanism (mandatory condition).
Some models imply the presence of an automatic motion sickness mode.
Another good option is a playpen bed. This variety is suitable for the little ones. This model is not stable, so the first time you try to get on your feet, you should install additional fasteners or change the type of bed.
If you want to provide your child with a place to sleep for a long time, get a transformer bed. This popular model, despite the high cost, will significantly save your budget in the future, as it will last almost until adolescence.
They are comfortable for babies, as they are equipped with high sides, which are then easily removed, and the bed turns into a cozy sleeping place for an older child.
The changing table, included in the kit, is also useful as a desk or cabinet for storing things. Models for older children provide for the possibility of arranging a working area or an additional place to sleep.
Bunk models
Models of modern cribs will debunk your opinion that bunk samples are designed for two children. For owners of small apartments, this option will be an unusual and convenient solution for one child. Consider the most popular options for bunk beds.
Bed - attic with a working area - the best choice for a one-room dwelling. This model solves two problems at once: a cozy sleeping place and an ergonomic working area for study. Designers have developed a model with a completely enclosed space, providing a personal corner for your little one.
A closet connected to a bed will serve not only as a place to store things, but as a support for the bed. The stairs to the second tier can be made functional by equipping steps - drawers. Thus, the staircase will become a kind of chest of drawers.
Sofa - bed - the most convenient option for small spaces. At night, such a model can be used as a bed, during the day it can be used as a sofa for games and relaxation.
Choosing a model according to age
Often parents are tormented by the question of how to choose a crib that is suitable for the age of the child. Let's try to figure out which models to give preference to.
For newborns, a cradle is an excellent option, designed for the fact that the baby needs to be rocked. They are equipped with wheels, rocking chairs or suspension mechanisms. The only drawback of these models: the child grows out of the cradle very quickly.
It makes sense to buy a crib for 3-4 years of age, equipped with an additional unit, which can be used as a cradle.
A model up to the age of three must have protective sides. It is important to provide for such a detail in it: having begun to walk confidently, the baby must independently get out of it. To do this, it is enough to remove a few rails. In specimens from 3 to 5 years old, it is worth abandoning high sidewalls altogether.
For children of school and school age, the bed must meet the following characteristics: it is made of durable materials, has a comfortable and high-quality mattress, and is stable. The main thing is that the owner likes it. Fancy shapes and a variety of colors are allowed.
Teenagers are best suited for stylish and comfortable furniture, which practically does not differ from adult models. The choice can be entrusted to the child himself or made jointly.
Below are pictures of baby cribs showing a variety of models.
Remember that proper healthy sleep is the key to good health and well-being of your child. When choosing a baby bed, do not forget to take into account the wishes of an older child and make the greasy place as comfortable as possible.

Being a parent means giving your child all the best, providing him with love and attention. A caring parent always seeks to guess the wishes of the child, to influence his mood in order to grow up a positive, sociable, balanced person. However, it is worth not only taking care of the health and upbringing of the child, but also picking up everything necessary for his comfortable growing up: from toys to furniture.
Peculiarities
For a child of any age, a cozy design of the room in which he will be is necessary. In a room or a children's corner of the living room, there must be a bed - a place of rest and sleep, where the baby should feel comfortable, relaxed and protected.
You can limit yourself to choosing an ordinary standard bed - it is quite comfortable to sleep on it, and it also meets the safety requirements. Another thing is the search for an original solution. The more positive emotions a child receives in childhood, the happier he will be in the future. Imagine how happy it is to sleep not just on a bed, but, for example, in a carriage or a typewriter? In childhood, everything is perceived differently.
In our progressive time, any idea of a bed can be translated into reality. It is not always possible to find a suitable option freely available in the store, but carpentry workshops and private furniture manufacturing companies will certainly come to the rescue.
newborn
The baby in his bed should be comfortable and cozy, as was the case with his mother in the tummy. Choose designs only from natural hypoallergenic materials, wood is best.
A round bed can serve as an unusual solution. While the child is small, he only sleeps in it, and when he grows up a little, he will be able to play freely in it, since such a product becomes safe with the help of the sides.
The cot for newborns can also be ordered in the form of a beautiful carriage: such a work of art will delight both mother and baby. Depending on the gender of the child, you can choose delicate shades of pink or blue. Universal is the white color, which is perfect for children's furniture.
Girls
Girls often associate themselves with princesses, ballerinas, sorceresses, actresses. Find out what is close and interesting for your child, and, based on the response received, begin to consider options.
Bed - "carriage"
A popular and beautiful type of children's furniture. You can decorate with carved sides and a roof, voluminous wheels on the spokes, or simply purchase a body stylized as a carriage. Textile accessories will add entourage. The color scheme can be for every taste. Traditionally, pink or lilac shades are chosen for young queens.
White, golden or silver fairy cribs look good.
typewriter
It is not surprising that in our emancipated reality, girls have been interested in technology since childhood. Cars or buses are popular options for styling a child's room. Such cribs should not have clearly traced details; soft features and a color scheme characteristic of girls are much more important here.
Castle
Any princess dreams of arranging a personal castle in her room. Great idea for furniture! Can be implemented as a bunk bed. Also a good solution would be to place a bed in the upper part of the "palace", leaving the lower one under the desk or play area.
fairy forest
If your baby is crazy about fairies, you can decorate the head of the crib with a sprawling tree. It is quite appropriate and beautiful in this interior that girls' favorite flowers and butterflies will look. The decoration of the room with light fabrics like tulle, organza, chiffon in delicate shades will add romance and fabulousness.
hut
Who refuses to spend the night in a nice cozy hut? To organize such a "den" for your baby is quite within the power of any parent. Install something like a tent made of light fabric around the perimeter of the crib - that's the whole secret. The option with a hut is universal, and the boys will also quite like it. The color and pattern is only limited by your imagination.
The hut can be equipped as a house of a city tourist, a temporary dwelling of a researcher of the animal world, an astronomer's office.
king bed
To decorate the room and not lose much time, you can arrange a real royal bed for your beauty - put a canopy over the bed. Beautiful, original and practical - the curtains can be changed or removed if necessary. The interior will acquire mystery and romance. This option can be appreciated not only by the baby, but also by the young lady.
Boys
Boys love everything related to technology, choosing this option, you will never lose. However, it is still better to ask before buying a product - what if your son has an untold dream?
Automobile
Such beds can already be attributed to the classics. There are a lot of options for furniture on the automotive theme: cars and trucks, sports cars, fire equipment, police and racing cars. The technical details of the chosen model may be different, for example, you can order a car with "real" rubber wheels, or you can limit yourself to just beautifully drawn models. This also includes buses - no less a good option for young dreamers.
Locomotive
Little kids will love the crib. More complex than a car, option, but also more spectacular. Two-tier options look great. Get such a bed for your tomboys, and they will visit you like a museum. Such a bed can become a real source of pride.
Ship
Give your son a nautical-style room with a yacht bed. Let sleep take him away on its waves every evening, filling him with vitality and strength. An interesting and original solution for a crib, which will become a favorite place for a growing baby to play.
Gates
If your son is a football fan, give him a goal. That is, stylize an ordinary bed: an appropriate interior, a grid drawn next to the bed, greenish wallpaper that resembles a football lawn.
Tree house
Great idea for a young naturalist. The upper floor of a two-level crib can be arranged in the form of a hut or a house. To help convey the spirit of nature, light textiles in natural shades, a drawing in the form of trees, a bookshelf on one of the “branches” are suitable. The lower part can be left for the workplace or equipped with game elements.
In the form of an animal
There are soft plush options for animal-shaped beds. The child is invited to sleep, comfortably sitting on the belly of a bear or dragon. The idea is really original, but it will not work for newborns and children under 3 years old - this design does not imply bumpers.
If a couple of decades ago it was fashionable to have what “everyone” has, today the trends have changed, and it is considered chic to be individual. The modern world allows you to have atypical (even the most unexpected) hobbies, and the current possibilities of industry make it possible to make your most secret dream come true.
If adults do not always bring self-expression to the fore, then it is very important for children that their room is unusual, as much as possible in line with their interests.
Unusual children's beds will be a great addition to the interior of the room.
Original designer beds
It should be understood that the vast majority of original models are not mass-produced, but made to order. There are about as many of them as there are people who want to create ideal conditions for their children. However, some of the more striking designs have gained some internet notoriety, leading other parents to order the same or similar beds.
At the same time, unusualness can lie both in one design and in practical moments.
For boy a typically boyish theme would work best, such as transportation. A bed in the form of a sports car can no longer even be called too original, but analogues for preschoolers in the form of funny trains, buses, boats are still a huge rarity. Keep in mind that a large and unusual bed will clearly become the central element of the entire interior, so repairs must be done at a discount on its design. A crib designed in the form of a ship can be complemented with seascapes on the walls or curtains in the form of sails.
Girls also love beautifully designed cribs.,and their favorite theme is princesses. The simplest solution is a bed in the image and likeness of the beds of real medieval princesses, but you can complicate it a little by turning the bed into a carriage or a whole castle. The latter option takes up a lot of space, but successfully replaces not only the sleeping area, but also the play area.
In second place among the preferences of young ladies are fairies and sorceresses, and they live in the forest, so try to beat this theme (at least in the form of a tree at the head). Girls will also like cars, but with the right approach - in pink.
For two children, there are not so many design options.- usually such products either represent a large transport (for example, a double-decker bus), or beat the theme of fabulous housing - palaces, tree houses. For two children, you need a lot of free space, so much attention is paid to practicality, because a compact bed does not have to be a bunk bed at all. One berth can "hide" in the body of the second.
Toy beds are also popular., which do not have a case at all - at first glance. This is a large soft toy (or even a pillow) that you can play with, but also equipped with a bed. Such beds are even mass-produced - in the form of animals (brand Incredible Bedjammies) and cartoon characters ( Kidsmart 123).
materials
Since each such bed is individual and unusual, the materials used in its manufacture can be quite unexpected - especially considering that the product is almost always made to order, according to the customer's project. When choosing materials, you are free to experiment, and the only raw materials that should be avoided are those that can harm the child.
Such materials include Chipboard Low quality. In essence, it is ordinary wood, its individual particles are glued together with a large amount of synthetic glue, the origin of which is often very doubtful. Similar concerns are raised by many species plastic- this material can release harmful fumes into the air, and at the slightest fire it will simply destroy the atmosphere in a closed room.
The third material to be treated with caution is paintwork. It is certainly present on any unusual bed, but it is worth distinguishing between high-quality and low-quality varieties. To do this, pay attention to quality certificates. If the product is nevertheless purchased in a ready-made form in a store, an unpleasant smell will help to identify low-quality varnish or paint - it happens only with harmful chemistry.
As for the materials that received the green light, this is wood - both solid and MDF. This is a strong and durable material of ecological origin, and therefore completely harmless and does not even cause allergies.
Wood also has a wonderful appearance, which will only contribute to the beauty of finished furniture.
To reinforce a large and heavy structure, you can use internal parts made of durable metals, but they are recommended to be taken out only in a situation where the design directly requires it. The use of plastic is also acceptable, but only the best samples. Of the relatively atypical decorative materials, textiles and perforated boards are actively used.
How to choose?
An unusual bed model can both reveal your delicate taste and turn out to be complete bad taste. You can choose an atypical model so that it is in place, focusing on the following tips:
- Do not forget that you choose the bed not for yourself, but for the baby. Many designer models make even adults sincerely gasp, but this does not mean that your children want the same thing that would make you happy as a child. Ideally, you should consult with the child about what he would like to see in his bedroom.
- Do not try to fit an unusual bed into an ordinary interior, otherwise she alone will attract attention, because of which all the rest of the furniture and accessories will seem faded. If you have already decided to decorate the room in an unusual way, develop the chosen theme for the whole room, not limited to the bed.
Healthy and safe sleep of the baby is of great importance for physical and mental development. In the first 4 weeks of life, a child sleeps from 16 to 20 hours, a year and up to seven years - from 10 to 12. Therefore, it is so important to provide the child with a comfortable, and most importantly, safe place to sleep.
Among the various models of beds for babies, attention should be paid to a children's bed with sides. It is a smart choice for parents concerned about the health and development of their child. In order for the child to like the sleeping place, and also to ensure a healthy sound sleep, it is important choose the right model appropriate for the age and needs of the child.
Age from 3 to 7 years is characterized by the continuation of intensive age, increased curiosity and activity. A three-year-old child has already grown out of his infant crib, which means it's time to think about buying a new one.
Often the baby's sleep at this age is restless, at night the baby turns and rolls over. To protect the child from injuries and falls, when buying children's sleep furniture, you should give preference to models equipped with bumpers. Furniture stores offer a large assortment of such children's beds, but they all differ from each other in size, functionality, equipment and design. Consider the most popular types of beds for children from 3 years old with sides.
A classic without unnecessary details
The children's bed without superfluous details will perfectly fit into any interior. It can be made of wood, plastic or even metal. The single model is equipped with built-in or removable boards that can be adjusted in height.
The crib does not have additional add-ons, therefore it only functions as a place to sleep. However, in a situation where children's room is fully equipped, that is, there is all the necessary furniture, except for the bed, it makes sense to choose this particular model. It does not take up much space, and the design options are so diverse that you can integrate it into absolutely any interior.
An important parameter is the preferences of the child himself. Bright and original design will delight and attract the attention of the baby. A boy can choose a bed in the form of a rocket, a car, a motorcycle or even a pirate ship. A girl in the form of a fabulous carriage, a children's boat.
An original idea for a girl would be a tent bed. The sides of this model are made of soft fabrics, which are fixed on top and around the perimeter. In addition to the unusual design, the bed has child protection function from falls and other external factors, such as insects. You can choose a place to sleep in the form of a circus tent, a tent with drawings from your favorite cartoons or a fairy-tale house.

Single bed with drawers, shelves or chest of drawers
Often rooms with a small area are allocated for children. In such a situation, it is important to think not only about the beauty and safety of furniture, but also about its functionality and ergonomics. Bed with sides can be additionally equipped with:
- drawers;
- superstructures with shelves;
- desk;
- chest of drawers;
- small closet.
Drawers and a chest of drawers can be allocated for small children's underwear or toys. Drawers are at the bottom of the bed will be available to the baby. The child can independently get and clean the things he needs, this teaches him to be independent and work.
A bed, complemented by a desk or wardrobe, will solve the problem of small space in the children's room. Additional furniture will no longer need to be bought, and interior elements will be in harmony with each other.
Loft bed and bunk bed with sides
For children aged 5 to 8 years, you can choose a loft bed. The sleeping place will be located on the second tier, which the child needs to climb up the stairs. Below is usually play or study area.
This model is quite functional, as it can include a children's desk, wardrobes or an entertainment area.
A bunk bed is best suited for a family with two children. It can be either a standard model with sides, or a more original one. For example, the lower bunk could be a sofa bed that can be folded out. Two-level beds are often complemented by wardrobes, bedside tables, shelves and drawers, which allows you to ergonomically place furniture in the children's room.
Suitable for children aged 3 to 4 retractable model bunk bed. The sleeping places are much lower, besides they are protected by high sides.

Model-transformer
For the smallest children's rooms, transforming cribs are suitable. Night berths during the day will turn into a closet or sofa. The sides in such beds are usually removable, so there are places for their storage.
Edge material
When choosing a crib, in addition to design and function, it is important to consider the quality of the materials used. Not only the material of the crib body plays a role, but also the sides themselves.
Sides can be:
- wooden;
- metal;
- plastic;
- soft tissue.
Soft sides perfectly protect the baby from bumps and injuries. However, it is important to remember that any fabric is a dust collector. They should be washed regularly, so when choosing, you should pay attention to the fact that they must be removed.
Ideal, in terms of strength and practicality, will be wooden and metal boards. They do not require special care and can last a very long time. If the side is made in the form of a series of rails, be sure to pay attention to the distance between them. A large distance between the rails is unacceptable, since the legs or arms of the child can get stuck between them, this will lead to injury.
When choosing a crib with plastic sides, pay attention to the quality of the material. Plastic must be certified, it should not emit a pungent chemical odor.
Usually, the sides are not located around the entire perimeter of the bed, but only at the head and at the upper half of the body. This is very important, since solid sides, especially in the form of tents, block fresh air and it can harm the baby.
With these tips, you can easily find a safe crib for any child. And the original design and bright appearance of this furniture will make the children's room your child's favorite place.
