The models are all different, there are bed-houses with an extra bed, but there is a common thing that unites them ─ these are the roof, windows, stairs, fences and other characteristic decorative elements. Choosing the option of a floor house-bed, parents should think about the maximum comfortable conditions for their child. He should receive full development, rest and sleep. The creativity of designers is sometimes amazing, and children are delighted with their new acquisition:
- Sea ship - when the children begin to play, they turn on their imagination and in this house a combination of sea flowers ─ white and blue comes to their aid. The ship has a slide-assault ladder, a pennant, an awning at the bottom, which symbolizes the sailor's cubicle.A steering wheel is attached to the side of the bed, which symbolizes ─ it's time to go sailing;
- Forest corner is an imitation of a tree house. The facade and staircase in the structure are made of solid wood. And additional pads are cut out of plywood, which are attached to them. Pads are bright, colorful bushes and trees. They must be durable, as children will definitely want to try the "tree" for endurance;
- Bed-house "Galchonok-2" - the frame of the product is made of solid pine. The design can be divided into three parts. The upper tier ─ bed (80x160 cm) has a limit-side. In the middle part there is a house with an original textile design ─ windows with curtains, doors with Roman curtains. Under the house there are two drawers for storing bedding or toys. The model is made in gentle colors, which gives the product an incredible charm and a special fabulous mood. It will take its rightful place in the interior of any children's room;
- Cave or mainsail - structurally, these models belong to closed versions of bed-houses. The whole design idea is to convey the atmosphere of a real dark cave inside the house. Thanks to strong, dense walls, crossbeams and stairs, the desired effect is created. But to make the child comfortable, lighting is mounted inside the model. A closed model can be selected with windows and doors.
What materials are more practical
Parents, choosing a crib for their child, should pay great attention to the material from which it is made. Even a small formal superstructure over a berth should be made of quality raw materials. While dabbling, the child can break it, fall and be injured. And if we consider the house in which the bed or play area is located upstairs, then the material is subject to even more stringent requirements.
For children, all designs should be made of pure eco-friendly material. The best option is solid wood, but products from it are quite expensive. As an alternative, you can buy a bed from chipboard, it will also be safe provided that it is of high quality performance. Less commonly, products of this category are made of MDF. This material is also considered durable, but it can withstand only moderate loads. It is strictly forbidden to make a bed in the form of a house from untreated chipboard, since during operation the product will emit formaldehyde and other compounds hazardous to health.
The height between the top bed and floor level should be no more than 160 cm. High sides and fences are also welcome. Do not neglect safety measures, because the health, and even the life of your child, depends on this.
