The choice of bed is affected age, height, weight, gender of children and personal preferences.

If kids of different ages, it is necessary to proceed from the safety rule, at the upper levels it is not recommended to have children under 5 years old. In the case when all three preschool children age, it is worth buying a bed with a retractable system. So, the upper level will be at a fairly safe height.

For children teenagers there is no such restriction. The bed will differ in large dimensions and a more restrained color scheme than beds for babies.

Floor children can influence not only the color palette and the choice of the general style of the bed, but also the whole design. So, boys and girls can be at different levels and the location of the sunbeds depends more on the children of which gender. It should be borne in mind that the separation of girls and boys can be different partitions, stands, shelves and cabinets.

Dimension parameters are affected weight and height of children. The child on the lower level should sit quietly in place without touching the head of the crib from above. The length of the bed should be such that the child in the supine position does not rest with his feet and he does not have to curl up to fit in bed. It should be borne in mind that children grow quickly and choosing furniture, one must either consider its use up to a certain age, or take a bed obviously more with the expectation of growing up.

When choosing a bed, you must specify how much weight it can support. The same applies to the stairs to the upper tier.

Bed functionality

Earlier, additional devices that can be built into the bed were considered. The higher the functionality of the chosen design, the more space can be saved in the space of a children's room.

Bed style

That finally came to the point that the bed should harmoniously fit into the nursery. Each child may have their own preferences and priorities. With their consideration, the design of the room is made out, and the sleeping area is selected. Naturally, it should merge into this composition.

The bed can be decorated both in a single style, and for each child separately using some common elements of decor.

If necessary, you can decorate the bed yourself. It will be very exclusive and very interesting. In addition, children can be involved in this creative activity.

To choose a really good bed, parents should pay attention to safety and geometric parameters, and otherwise consult with their children, take into account their personal qualities and preferences, then this will be their favorite vacation spot and the bed will serve not only as a resting place, but will make your family stronger and friendlier.
