Overview of popular IKEA baby beds

It is impossible to consider the entire range of Ikea beds within the framework of one material, therefore, for the review, we selected the most popular and really excellent models: Critter, Minnen, Kura, Hemnes, Midal, Svärta, etc.

Leksvik - a fully wooden bed in classical style. Pros: natural material, design variability, durability. Cons: massive.

Daybeds

Hemnes is the most popular daybed from the Ikea range, which has 3 drawers and is only sold in white. Pros: universal design, compactness, environmental friendliness of materials, the ability to use from 8 years and up adolescence, the presence of not only places for storing things, but also an additional roll-out tier. This means that the couch can be transformed into a double bed. In addition, if necessary, it can be easily used as a sofa for gatherings with friends. Cons: relatively high price, lack of a fall protection limiter.

loft beds

Kura is a two-sided bed, which, depending on the position, can be bunk or attic. Pros: made of natural wood, functional (berth can be up and/or down), safer and more convenient for spreading clothes due to lower height (116 cm), can be complemented by a blue or pink canopy. Cons: simple design, which most often requires decoration, side panels are made of fiberboard.

Svärta is a metal bed, sold in silver and white. Pros: easy to clean, durable, and most importantly functional - for the first tier, you can buy a special countertop or put a sofa there from the same Ikea. Below in the selection of photos you can see examples of arranging the first floor with a training or play corner, a recreation area.

Stuva - loft bed with built-in wardrobe or shelving on the side, as well as with a tabletop and bedside table built into the first tier. Pros: design variability (fronts of the cabinet and bedside tables can be chosen in one of 6 colors (blue, pink, green, white, black, light wood) and configuration (you can choose a bed with shelves without doors and drawers, with 4 or one drawer in a bedside table or only with doors)). In addition, the tabletop with a bedside table can be placed in 2 ways - along the bed and perpendicular to it. Cons: made of chipboard and fiberboard, the ladder can only be installed on the right side.

Midal - available in unpainted form and covered only with varnish. Pros: made of natural wood, has a low price (8 tr.). Due to the minimal processing of wood, it can be easily repainted in any color. The following selection of photos shows examples of a repainted Midal bed.

Tuffing - a bed with a reduced height and a central staircase, available only in silver. Pros: the central ladder protects the child sleeping on the first tier from falling. In addition, it is convenient for descents and ascents to the second tier. Since the bed has a lower height (130 cm), it can be placed in a room with low ceilings (from 2.5 m). In addition, at such a height it will be easier to cover the upper tier.

Cons: fabric bumpers can be easily damaged. Going to sleep on the bed of the first tier is not very convenient because of the central staircase.

Nordal is a dark brown bed. Pros: made of natural wood, the main advantage is the ability to divide the structure into two single beds in the future with your own hands. Cons: the side panels of the frame are made of fiberboard covered with a film.

The most versatile bed color is white. White furniture, even large and heavy, does not clutter up the space and is combined with all colors, suitable for both boys and girls. In addition, white beds, unlike colored ones, will also be relevant in adolescence.
Easiest to keep clean metal beds(Swarth and Minnen).
When choosing a bed for growth, give preference to durable wooden or metal models, single “adult length” or with a sliding frame, as well as couches.

Sliding beds are also an excellent choice if they live in the same room. Then the furniture will turn out to be the same in design, but corresponding to the growth of both children.
The baby bed should be compact and functional. For example, with drawers, with a headboard with shelves, with a sliding frame or even attic.
In a small room, a loft bed is indispensable, because it saves so much space and allows you to equip a play, study or dressing area on the first tier. For a teenager, in addition to single, double and attic beds, you can choose a couch, a folding chair or a sofa. These pieces of furniture will allow the owner of the room to quickly turn his bedroom into a living room for meetings with friends.
A child who has reached the age of 6 can sleep on a bunk bed or in the attic and only on condition restful sleep. When buying such a bed, explain to the children that it is dangerous to play on the second floor, and you need to go down the stairs only in the light and slowly.

Don't forget to install a lamp at the head of the upper tier so that the child can always turn on the light and safely go down, for example, at night.

When choosing a mattress for a bunk or attic bed (and for any other, by the way), always pay attention to the manufacturer's recommendation for its thickness so that the sides of the second tier remain high enough.
The main drawback of Ikea furniture is its uniformity. To adapt the bed to the interior of the nursery, personalize it and make it more interesting, do not be afraid to remodel and decorate it yourself. Wooden and metal beds can be easily repainted. Single beds can be built on or modified headboards. bunk beds and attics can be fashionably turned into a tent, a castle, a bus or a house.

Stikkat storage pockets (pictured) are attached to the sides of the bed, and therefore can replace the bedside table. Tablet, book, water bottle, phone - all this will fit in one pocket.

Canopies LEVA (in the form of a green leaf), Misig (in the form of a circus tent) and Sharmtroll (canopy beige colour) unlike a canopy, they will not protect from light, but they will make an ordinary bed a real nursery. But the canopy of Kura will turn the upper tier of the bed of the same name into a secluded space and protect the child from accidental falling.
Only a few models are equipped with drawers for storing things, but you can choose roll-out drawers (Vardo), bed containers (Gimse) and just baskets of a suitable height for a baby bed.

When a child grows by leaps and bounds, this is a considerable reason for joy. And even if only by the day or even by the week, it is still a reason for joy. But, however, the growth and development of children are accompanied by some difficulties of a material nature: clothes, shoes, household items literally in six months, or even faster, are already small and cramped. Furniture is no exception.

The bed, table and chair are too small or too big, equally not useful. After all, the backbone of the baby is just being formed, and the correct posture during classes or sleep is much more important for him than for an adult. But buying a new crib every 3 years is a burden for family budget considerable. Sliding beds of all types and modifications are designed to solve this problem once and for all. Well, or for a long time.

Advantages

First and foremost, the problem with the bed is solved for a sufficiently long period of time - about 10 years. In fact, the furniture will need to be changed only once: either after 3 years, choosing a folding bed with a large width, or after 10–12, when you can safely buy a full-fledged single bed.
The main, but not the first, is the economic benefit. Sliding bedperhaps not, but the vast majority of manufacturers equip such models with a collapsible chest of drawers, sides, which can subsequently serve as shelves, for linen and blankets, and so on.

Children's sliding bed with sides

The third advantage is space saving. There is no need to find an area for a new bed: the sliding one increases by only 40–60 cm. Paradoxically, for some reason, installing a new bed, even if its size is not too different, is more difficult than extending the old one. The model, equipped with drawers, performs the function of a storage system, that is, it frees up space from an additional bedside table or cabinet section.
Fourth, sliding systems are subjected to a higher load, and are designed for a long period of use. Such models are made of more durable wood - ash, beech, and using reliable fittings. Rarely, but there are options made of metal.
Fifth, but not least - saving nerves. Choosing a new piece of furniture for an existing room decor is not so easy task. Especially when a child is involved in its decision, who needs only one thing: that the crib be like a car from a cartoon.

It is not difficult to transform an existing bed in this way: it is enough to cut wheels and a headboard from plywood, and paint the frame in the desired color.

Flaws

Structural features of the sliding system are the weak link, therefore, when overloaded - active games, the use of the bed as an arena, the attachment mechanisms suffer. This may cause damage.

In most models, a solid plywood bottom is installed - this is not an advantage, but a disadvantage. Firstly, the solid bottom prevents the mattress from being properly ventilated. Considering that “night crashes” often occur in young children, poor ventilation leads to odor absorption, moisture accumulation, damage to both the mattress and the bed itself. Secondly, flat base does not apply to orthopedic and does not contribute to the normal position of the spine.

This disadvantage, as a rule, is corrected independently: the plywood is removed, and the bed frame is fixed wooden slats. It is not difficult, and such a kit is produced with all the required fasteners.

Material for sliding beds is often used combined. If the bed itself is made of wood, and the chest of drawers and drawers are made of chipboard, then this is quite acceptable. But if the product is entirely made of chipboard or fiberboard, then you need to think again whether it is worth buying such a children's sliding bed. Compared with a table or cabinet, the load on the bed is much higher, and the wood fiber material is not very durable.

Peculiarities

Sliding beds can be divided into two main groups: those designed for use from 0 to 10, and those that serve children from 3 to 15.

From 0 to 10 - sliding bed mechanism, in general view, is this: in the first assembly, the furniture looks like a typical baby bed, combined with a chest of drawers and a changing table. As the child grows, it changes: the bottom sinks, the fences on one side are removed or partially disassembled - especially for kids who successfully master the potty and those who prefer to come to their parents at night “to visit”. When the length of the crib becomes insufficient, the chest of drawers is dismantled. Its bottom with the base bottom of the bed forms one plane and increases the size of the bed. The initial size of the model is 120 * 60 - this is standard parameters for a children's bed, accepted in Russia. After the transformation, the bed increases in different ways: up to 140*70 or even 160*70. This option is designed for use from 1 to 10 years, as it has a small width. 70 cm for a teenager stretched out under 1.8 m is clearly insufficient.

Sliding bed from 0 to 10 years (photo)

Models designed for 3-15 years are laid out differently and have a large initial width - 80-90 cm. The design is extended at the end part due to some kind of sliding system. The latter are author's developments and are patented. Depending on the complexity of the model, there may be drawers for linen and clothes, removable sides, a chest of drawers, and so on.

For sliding children's beds produce special orthopedic mattresses, which can be "built up" by adding modules with a similar filler.

Manufacturers

Children's furniture is produced by almost all companies involved in the manufacture of "adult". The number of those who include sliding models in the collection is, of course, less, but there are both foreign and domestic manufacturers on the Russian market.

The main criterion for choosing a product is the material of manufacture and sliding system. Multifunctionality and design are secondary.

Ikea

The Dutch company IKEA produces a huge amount of goods for the home, including for children's rooms. Ikea children's sliding beds take their rightful place in the collection, collecting only positive feedback from children and their parents.

The features of models from IKEA include the following qualities.

The company produces sliding beds for children from 3 to 15 years old. Children's collections for babies include models designed for babies from 0 to 3 years.
IKEA installs its own sliding system on products.
Beds are made from solid wood, mainly pine. However, there is a series where models are made of metal - MINNEN. The frame of this bed is especially durable and suitable for hyperactive children.
IKEA sliding beds have a slatted bottom. Reiki are made from pine, carefully processed. On metal models slats are also installed, not a plywood bottom. This is very useful feature, as the slatted bottom provides excellent ventilation of the mattress.

The product is not supplied with a mattress, but since the company produces both orthopedic products and bases, if desired, you can make a complex purchase.

Grow up

Vyrastaika is a series of children's furniture from the Russian factory West Eco, designed for children from 3 to 12 years old.

The initial width of the model is 79 cm or 89, "working", respectively - 70 or 80 cm. The initial length is 120 cm with the possibility of increasing to 160 cm or 180 cm. The first option involves two positions, the second - three: 120, 150 and 180 See which is more convenient.
Height to the bottom - 35 cm, so the crib is safe even for small children. The children's sliding bed "Vyrastayka" is equipped with a fall prevention in a dream.
The model is made of solid beech or pine, varnished or painted in dark or light walnut. The materials for the drawers are chipboard. This combination fully withstands the load, but at the same time has a lower price compared to a product made entirely of solid wood.
Bed production time is 4 days.

I am growing

"I'm growing" - a collection of children's sliding beds, produced by the company "Mebelenok. RF" for more than 7 years. They are distinguished by their simple but robust design and quality of execution: the models do not have sharp corners, all contours are softly rounded.

Beds are made only from beech. If the model includes boxes or sides, they are also made of wood. Neither LDPS nor fiberboard are used.
The line contains options with and without sides, with or without drawers. In the Rostushka-2 model, the headboard and footboard completely cover the space to the floor and hide the underbed box.
For any model, a special two-piece mattress is offered. The second part is used when the bed is moved apart.
The initial dimensions are 77 * 133, the length can be increased to 195 cm.
The color palette includes 12 shades, including natural beech.
The bottom of the crib is one-piece, made of plywood 6 mm thick. Plywood provides strength, but the question of mattress ventilation remains open.

"Rostushka Economy"- the most inexpensive children's sliding bed. She has the same dimensional parameters, but there is no underbed box. The boards are removable and movable. The bed is made from Angarsk pine, not ordinary: Angarsk wood is much denser, so products made from it are durable. Glued joints are not used, only furniture ties. The bed is available in 12 colors.

Extendable bed for two children

Children's sliding bed for two children is more correct to call withdrawable bed, as it is designed not to change in length, but to save space. The product occupies the same area as one bed, while it provides two beds.

By appearance the design resembles a loft bed, but of a very small height: the distance from the upper bottom to the floor is 100–110 cm. To use the second bed, it must be pulled out. It turns out two beds, slightly different in height. As a rule, the second tier extends, as it were, in width, but there are models where the second bed is on the end side.
The model may contain drawers under a retractable bed, or even a third section, very low.
Narrow sides are preferable: when folding, there is a threat of pinching fingers, and if the sides are wide, the threat turns into a constant danger.
For the manufacture of using chipboard, fiberboard, MDF solid wood. The last option is, of course, the most reliable.

A children's pull-out sofa bed not only saves space, but also gives a children's living room look. When folded, its dimensions are quite suitable for a small child, when unfolded - for a schoolchild and a teenager.

Various folding mechanisms are used: book, accordion, cascade. However, retractable should be considered the most successful, since the child needs the least effort to move it.
When choosing a sofa bed Special attention it is necessary to pay attention to the material and fastening of the frame. A product designed for a child must be especially durable.
The preferred option is where a slatted base is formed under the bed.
Children's sofas are decorated in a very diverse and bright way, so it's easy to choose the right model for the nursery.

However, among all options for children's sliding furniture the sofa is last. In the unfolded state, it does not create a flat surface, there are always differences in height between different parts. For a baby bed, this is highly undesirable.

You can use the sofa as a bed no earlier than 12-13 years old, when the spine is fully formed.

Children's sliding beds are very diverse both in design, and in content, and in the material of manufacture and, accordingly, in cost. It is not easy to choose among them, but the time spent is worth it: a high-quality, properly selected sliding bed will last for ten years.

Choosing a bed for a baby is a very responsible and enjoyable event. The catalog of cribs in IKEA presents the most popular models. There are even options for sleeping places that "grow" with the child. You can also often find universal beds, which include not only a place to sleep, but also a work or play area.

In order to make it easier to understand the wide range of the modern market, we will consider the most popular and functional sleeping places for children.

Of course, you can find photos of IKEA cribs on the Internet. But for a more competent choice, you need to know exactly what functions and features each of them has.
