Whether they need privacy, to save space, to change or to go from the small bed to the big one, it is necessary to choose the bed of the children well! Here are some templates to inspire your choice.
A first bed
If your child has just moved from the crib to bed, you have several choices. The first is the simple transition bed which will allow you not to change your mattress right away. It's practical, especially if your maternity leave has reduced your budget to a trickle. Among these beds, some are very simple.
Advantages
- They go with any decor
- They will let you keep the baby decor for a while
Cons
- They won't be useful for long
- The bunk mattress is a little hard for the older ones
- At this age, children are not very fond of sobriety
Themed beds
Cribs in the shape of a car, castle or in the likeness of characters and which also use the bunk mattress are perceived as a gigantic gift by toddlers. It's a great way to celebratethe imagination of early childhood and make our child want to sleep in a big bed.
Advantages
- Cute
- Children's favorite
- Incentive to sleep in bed
Cons
- More Expensive
- Temporary
- Child may change characters or interests quickly
Extendable bed
Unlike the two previous beds, the convertible bed is made to accompany your child for many years. It is a bed that can accommodate the mattress of the bunk and expand as soon as the child needs a standard size mattress. There are several types and all colors. Ikea, among others, has several and sells multi-piece mattresses that fit them.
Advantages
- Good long-term investment
- Easy to find in department stores
Cons
You have to choose it well, even when the child is very young, because it's here to stay
Bunk bed
When you buy a bunk bed, it's often so that two children can share a room. Sometimes parents are tempted to buy one for their only child imagining all the guests who will be able to sleep in it, but from experience, this does not happen as often as one would like and the bed takes a lot of room for nothing. Better to use it when two children sleep in the same room inpermanence.
Advantages
- The bed can sleep two children for the same space as a single bed
- Possibility of installing a curtain for more privacy in the bottom bunk
Cons
- Possible conflict like: "I take the top!" No it's me! »
- The proximity to the ceiling in the top bunk can be stuffy for some
Loft bed
Loft beds are great for older kids who have a small bedroom. This type of bed allows the space below to be used as a study corner, for example, or as a DIY workshop. There are several models that each have their own qualities: double loft beds, singles and others that have several functions. The Nika bed from Jysk, for example, is a huge storage module that includes a wardrobe, drawers, a desk, shelves and cupboards. For an apartment that has little storage, this is extraordinary. On the other hand, make sure you have enough space between the bed and the ceiling because your child will not like to crawl up to his pillow and knock himself out on the ceiling after a nightmare. However, there are several heights, some are called half-mezzanines and only offer extra storage space or play space below, but can be a good compromise if your ceilings are low.
Advantages
- Space saving
- Storageextra
- The pleasure of sleeping high up
- Some beds even have a slide to wake you up on the right foot
Cons
- Impressive
- Proximity to ceiling can be stuffy for some
Double bed
For children who move a lot while sleeping, the double bed is a blessing. In addition, it is a bed that can be kept for a very long time, even when your teenager needs a bigger bed.
Advantages
- More space
- Can be used as a guest bed on occasion if your child agrees to lend their room
Cons
- Takes up a lot of space
- Must be chosen with very long term in mind
Standard single bed
The good old single bed has proven itself. It is often less expensive, the bedding is too, as well as the mattress. It takes up less space in a small bedroom and you can choose one that has drawers so you have a little extra storage.
Advantages
- Affordable
- Takes up less space
- Lots of choices
Cons
- Less spacious
- Less Spectacular
Library
If you already have a basic small bed and lack storage for books, you can purchase a headboard with shelves. She will dobookcase and bedside table.
Tent
If you don't have enough money to buy a new bed, but your child needs privacy in a shared room, you can buy this tent from Privacy Pop. Portable, it can also be used as a capsule for camping in the living room. Several colors available.
Mosquito Net
To give an enchanting air to an ordinary bed, the mosquito net is the most economical option. It also prevents mosquitoes from bothering children at night, of course. On the other hand, it must be installed at the four corners of the bed to prevent your child from wrapping it up during the night, tearing it or tearing it.
