Color solutions and design
When completing the interior of a room for children, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics, preferences, character of the child. The older the child, the more attentively this topic should be treated. The design will be more interesting if you add the original color scheme. Joyful colors and durable furniture IKEA allows you to change the interior, taking into account its age.

Components and accessories
The child's living space must be safe and secure. Thoughtful limiters, barriers for couches and cribs that protect against falls will help to achieve this. Especially bunk and attic options need such protection. Wheels are a safety and convenience feature. They are attached to the furniture, thanks to them the modules or sections are easy to move and fix, as they are equipped with an automatic lock when they stop on the spot.
A complete rest is not possible without a comfortable mattress that promotes relaxation. The latex filler relieves stress on the muscles, and its reversibility and strength will extend the period of use. The air channel technology used in children's mattresses ensures normal air circulation.
IKEA bedding and bedspreads made of soft durable cotton fabric will be a pleasant addition to coziness, providing the child with comfort and good rest.
The presence in the room on the wall or above the bed of a canopy or canopy will turn it into a cozy place to sleep, play or read books.
The size
The interior of the nursery is always characterized by mobility and functionality. IKEA developers create furniture taking into account the age and development of children. The transformation possibilities allow you to change the objects in the room according to the needs that grow with the child. Beds for babies - 123x60 cm, for babies up to 8 years old - 160-70 cm, for teenagers from 8 to 12 years old - 208x97 cm, different styles and colors "grow" with the children.

How to choose
We make high demands on the choice of baby beds, as children are active, jumping, playing, thus testing their strength. Because of this, it is better to choose high-quality materials and reliable fasteners. The absence of toxic substances in the purchased product is important. Structurally, the beds must be adjusted, modified and combined with other proposed elements.
For babies, it is better to choose low cribs and always with sides that protect against falling. From the color palette for boys and girls, white furniture is suitable: it will refresh and visually enlarge the space. A model with a berth at the top will allow you to win space for the play area. It is important to choose the right mattress to ensure complete relaxation and rest for the child.
Assembly instructions
The principle of operation of the Swedish company IKEA is the assembly of purchased goods and furniture on their own. This allows you to reduce prices and simplify transportation to different countries. Each product is accompanied by a step-by-step description of the assembly process itself, with black and white illustrations and a minimum of explanation.
IKEA products are delivered in cardboard boxes sealed with tape. After opening, it is better to decompose and label everything, in accordance with the recommendations. When you are sure that nothing is left in the box, in a well-lit room, you can start assembling. Tools are provided in the kit, but your own screwdrivers will not interfere at all. If you follow the instructions, carefully perform all operations, then there will be no obstacles in the assembly.
How much are
The concept and business idea of the company is to create comfortable and beautiful products for the home at low prices, accessible to everyone, to change everyday life for the better. Children's beds can be purchased in various price categories. Minimal costs await parents in infancy, and with increasing age they can increase, as requests will be provided by new furniture options.
The cost of wooden models depends on the material used. The bed can be made of solid or exotic woods, or it can be made of veneer or fiberboard. Solid wood backs are durable and more practical than glued, film-coated backs that can be damaged over time. In universal bed models, the cost is increased by separate boxes for linen, sometimes representing an extra bed. Our various desires, in the form of a headboard, limiters, shelves or original design solutions, carry an increase in price.
When choosing an interior for a child, you need to take into account the peculiarities of his psyche. She is different from an adult. Children feel better surrounded by bright colors, they focus on catchy shades and various tactile sensations. Kids quickly get used to a bright interior, as it arouses interest.
IKEA uses science and technology and embodies them in the interior design of children's rooms. Colored furniture, curtains in the form of green and white sails, green tables, pillows of various shapes, colorful cabinet doors direct children to fantasy, the desire to play, to explore. Such interior elements contribute to children's perception.
Reliable furniture, storage systems, wall shelves and modules allow the child to enjoy spending time in the room. A series of white cabinets with bright facades of blue, pink, green colors will make the space cozy and harmonious. Natural colors of furniture and rich colors of accessories will create children's comfort.
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 big burden on the family budget. 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 an 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
The design features of the sliding system are the weak link, therefore, when overloaded - active games, using 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, a flat base is not orthopedic and does not contribute to the normal position of the spine.
This disadvantage, as a rule, is corrected independently: plywood is removed, and wooden slats are fixed to the bed frame. 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 - the mechanism of a sliding bed, in general, is as follows: 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 - these are the standard parameters for a children's bed, adopted 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 cots, special orthopedic mattresses are produced that 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 the 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, and not a plywood bottom. This is a very useful feature, as the slatted bottom provides excellent ventilation for 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 a simple but reliable design and workmanship: 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.
- In 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 should be paid 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 the options for children's sliding furniture, the sofa takes the last place. 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.

Options for one
The Critter single bed is for children under eight. Here are a few examples of Ikea's newborn cribs for this model.
It is made white with a different ornament:
- with a pattern of "sheep" in the headboard
- with figurines of cats and dogs at the head.
Like any piece of furniture, it has its pros and cons. The advantages include:
- Production from natural wood
- Nice design just for kids
Minus - there are age restrictions, which means that when a child reaches a certain height, the crib will become small.
If you need a bed for a long time, then a model with a pull-out insert is perfect, which can become 207 cm in total length.
Such retractable designs represent beds:
- Minnen is a popular IKEA model. It is made of white metal. The advantages are a beautiful aesthetic appearance and length adjustment. The disadvantage is that the metal tends to cool down.

Couches from Ikea
1) Hemnes. The most common among Ikea buyers, the kit includes three drawers, made in white. Its design is universal, the model itself is compact and attracts the attention of visitors. There is an additional roll-out tier that can turn from a single to a double. And up to 8 years old. There are also disadvantages - there is no protection against falling and a rather high price.
2) Flux. It has either 2 drawers or a roll-out bed. Its low price, design and functionality are among the advantages. And to the minuses - this is the material of manufacture (chipboard and fiberboard) and the absence of a barrier.
3) Brimnes. It has low sides on all sides and 2 drawers that can roll out. Ideal for children over 8 years old, it does the same functions as Hemnes, but at a lower price, as it is made from chipboard. Also, because of the low sides, it is not suitable for kids.
Below are photos of Ikea cribs (couches and single options).
loft beds
1) Kura - the bed is designed for two, it can be either bunk or attic. In the manufacture, only natural wood is used, it is more convenient for filling, because the height is 116 cm, it can be supplemented with a canopy in blue or pink. Cons in the side panels of fiberboard and simple design.
2) Svärta - metal in silver or white. Durable, functional and easy to clean. It can be supplemented with a sofa or play area.
3) Stuva - refers to a loft bed, has a built-in wardrobe or shelving on the side, and also a bedside table. The advantages include a variety of designs and configurations. Cons - this is the material for the manufacture of chipboard and fiberboard and the ability to install a ladder only on the right.
4) Sturo - white lorry. Released from wood. You can additionally make a play area, thanks to the width of the bed (153 cm). Only now it is not suitable for every apartment, again, because of the width.
bunk beds
1) Curl. White or silver bed, very durable and can have an extra pull out bed.
2) Midal. Coated only with varnish, so that it has the natural color of the wood from which it is made. The low price also gives the chance of creativity as color you choose. The following is a catalog of Ikea cribs already in the painted form of this model.
3) Tuffing - has a lower height and a central staircase, only in silver. It is almost impossible to fall from this bed, and the descent and ascent to the second tier is very convenient. And thanks to the low height, it is suitable for low ceilings. Cons - these are fabric bumpers that are easy to damage.
4) Nordal - only in dark brown. In the future, you will be able to make two separate furniture out of one joint furniture. Made of wood, except for the sidewalls made of chipboard, on top of which a film is glued.
- Pay attention to the white color, it will suit any interior and does not indicate the gender of the child.
- Metal structures are easier to clean.
- If you want furniture for growth, then take a durable material of manufacture, either wood or metal.
- Also, sliding beds are suitable when there are two children in the room, but of different ages.
- If the children's room is small, then a compact bed, with retractable structures or an attic type, is suitable.
- For one child in a small room, an attic bed is perfect, since you can equip both a sleeping place and a play area in one place.
- Only a child over 6 years old can sleep on the second tier of the bed, and children are generally forbidden to play there, for safety reasons. And you should also install a lamp so that the descent can be seen at night.
- When choosing a mattress for a bed with a second tier, look at its height and the level of the sides.
- Ikea models have a minus - its uniformity, so do not be afraid to experiment with the purchased bed, make it individual.
- Compartments for things can be placed next to the bed and replace the coffee table in the nursery.
These are the main tips for choosing the right furniture for the nursery, below are photos of Ikea cribs.
