Description of the car bed for boys
From a very young age, boyish fantasy draws the most heroic plots, requiring daily exploits. The purchase of a bed in the shape of a car will help make a child's dream of becoming a brave firefighter, a brave policeman or a fast racer come true.
In order not to be mistaken in your choice, it is enough to carefully study all the subtleties of this difficult issue of acquiring a boy's bed.
Sizes of car beds
The size of the beds should, on the one hand, be with a margin for the height of your child, and on the other, provide the ability to accommodate the mattress, if necessary.
There are several sizes of sleeping places:
- For young children - 140-160 * 60-90 cm.
- For preschool age - 160-190 cm with the same width. The same dimensions may correspond to school age.
The main nuance here is to take into account the possibility of placing a mattress if the proposed model is not equipped with it.
The non-standard size of the space for the mattress will greatly complicate the search for a suitable model.
With due diligence, you can find a bed of any design, especially when it comes to popular cartoon characters.
If you decide to purchase a bunk bed, the level of the second berth, as a rule, is located 160-180 centimeters from the floor.
Advantages and disadvantages of a car bed
Children's bed machine for a boy has the following advantages:
- a wide variety of machine shapes;
- the choice of one- or two-tier execution;
- availability of additional storage space (in models with a lifting mechanism).
The main disadvantage is the impossibility of changing the appearance of the model. Therefore, if your kid no longer wants to be a heroic policeman, but decided to try himself as a firefighter, his bed will have to be changed.
It is possible to note a rather high price relative to other models for sleeping, but this is unlikely to be a decisive factor, because for a child there is nothing more precious than emotions, and his beloved bed can easily become the center of attraction for the most positive emotions.
What materials are they made of
Most often, single-tier beds are made of chipboard, covered with an original print on top. It is rare to find models with natural upholstery. Their price will be strikingly different upward from other similar beds, and the durability of such material is a big question.
Also, painted fiberboard can act as a basis.
Multi-tiered machines are most often made in a combined form - from a wooden beam and laminated chipboard or fiberboard.
The main requirement is that the materials used must be safe, this is confirmed by the availability of appropriate quality documents.
In a bunk form, the beds must be equipped with limiters for the upper tier, they are often made of metal.
The most environmentally friendly material from which a bed can be made is solid wood, but its price is impressively high compared to the same options from other types.
If a child has a tendency to develop allergic reactions, it is better to opt for untreated wood, at least for the inner upholstery of the bed.
Varieties
The machine bed for a boy can have the following varieties:
- Single-tiered.
- Multi-tiered.
A single-tier bed in its simplest form is a themed sleeping place in the form of a child's car. Built-in drawers and storage shelves can be additional accessories. With their help, you can conveniently organize the storage of bedding and personal belongings of the child.
A machine bed for boys with a box for linen will give the child extra space for playing and studying and will be an excellent choice for small rooms.
If there is a lifting mechanism in the bed, it can be made using springs or shock absorbers.
Regardless of the ease of use, the lifting mechanism is not recommended for children on their own, due to its increased risk of injury.
What are the criteria for choosing
The main criteria for choosing such furniture are quite simple - one- or two-tier, depending on the number of children that need to be provided with sleeping places.
It is also important to consider the quality of the materials used in the manufacture of the bed - they should all be as safe as possible.
Thanks to the huge selection, it will not be difficult to find a car that suits the child. Whether it's a police officer, a firefighter or a model in the form of your favorite cartoon character.
Better to separate the purchase of a bed and a mattress. In standard configurations, not the best solutions are offered, especially if the child has special indications of an orthopedist for a sleeping place. There are also recommendations to purchase a bed with an average width of 80-90 cm and a margin of length, in case the child wants to stay in the arms of his favorite car for as long as possible nights.
Mattress selection rules
The mattress is selected primarily on the basis of medical prescriptions. If there are none, the model purchased for the bed should be as comfortable as possible for the child. Therefore, before making a final decision, we recommend that you let your baby lie down on the mattress and lie on it for a few minutes to determine whether his sleep will be comfortable and safe.
It is especially important to carry out such procedures for models with built-in mattresses. When buying a mattress separately from the bed, it is important, after checking the comfort for the child, to make sure that its dimensions are compatible with the bed of the bed.
approximate cost
The prices for the boys' cribs on sale vary as widely as the beds on offer. First of all, the simpler the equipment, the lower the price.
As a rule, the lower bar starts from the level of 6-8 thousand rubles. For this price, you can buy a car with a berth 160 * 90 cm and a slatted bottom without a mattress.
If the question arises of acquiring a bunk bed, it is necessary to have it twice, or even three times the amount. The price for such beds often approaches the level of 20 thousand rubles.
The more decor is used in car equipment, the higher its price. For example, the presence of storage boxes adds about 3-4 thousand rubles to the cost, decorative lighting - another couple of thousand.
Following the recommendations given in the article, you can easily choose the most suitable baby bed for a boy.
