How to choose the size

When choosing a children's bed with a chest of drawers, you need to consider that it is slightly larger than a standard bed. The berth is the same, but the size of the bedside table increases its length. For models with a chest of drawers, the total width is usually 60-80 cm, length 170-180 cm, the transformer for a teenager will be approximately 90x200 cm.

The size of the bed must be selected in accordance with the size of the room. There are models with a small berth and a chest of drawers, where the bed is folded. And there are models with a large berth and a chest of drawers with various additional equipment. This design already looks impressive and takes up much more space.

If the room is small, then such dimensional furniture will look inappropriate. As well as in large spacious rooms, a modest chest of drawers will look ridiculous. It is important that the entire removable structure fits near one wall.

When choosing the right size, you need to consider the bed space when unfolded. If you plan models in which tables are rolled out, then you need to take into account the place for him. During disassembly, nothing should interfere.

Types of mechanisms

The beds differ not only in functionality, in the number of additional elements, but also in the way of laying out the berth:

Folding.

In the folding model, the bed is unfolded using the Push mechanism. Usually you need to pull the bed towards yourself so that the mattress "leaves".

The nuances of using

The transforming bed is very comfortable furniture. It has many advantages, especially for fans of the minimalism style - no extra items that clutter the environment. But there is one important point - every day you have to lay out and fold this kind of berth. Mechanisms wear out over time, so they must be used carefully and carefully.

In folding models, it is important to control how the mattress is fixed. Due to the frequent folding of the bed on the bed linen, small debris can accumulate, you need to follow this. From time to time it is necessary to check whether the bolts are loose or if the stability of the structure is not violated.

When deciding on a model, it is worth considering the age of the future user. If this is a student, it is advisable to purchase a design with a pull-out table. But after that you will need to install additional sockets. In front of the chest of drawers, you can put a bedside table and install a table lamp on it so that the child can engage.

Take care that there are more shelves so that the baby can arrange his toys, books, favorite items. If you choose a bed for a girl, pay attention to the gentle colors - beige, peach. For a boy, blue, gray, green will do. But before you go shopping, be sure to check with your child, find out what kind of bed he would like. He may have his own opinion on this issue. The main thing is that he likes everything, is comfortable, so both children and adults will be satisfied.
