How to choose your loft bed

Having his own room is essential for a child, it teaches him a sense of privacy. Moreover, apart from school, it is where he will spend most of his time. It should therefore be arranged in such a way that it is in keeping with his personality. But this is not always easy when it is a small room. That's where the loft bed comes in, not only does it save space, but it is often stylish. Here are some criteria to consider before buying one for your child.

#1 - The dimensions

Certainly, it would be wise to make sure that the size of the bed would fit on the intended location, usually fixed to the wall for safety. But this criterion does not only concern the length, width or height of the bed. In fact, the dimensions directly determine the number of places. In principle, a 1-seater model will be 2 times narrower than a 2-seater loft bed.

#2 - The material

The loft bed can be made of different materials, depending on its manufacturer and the model. For example, pine, metal, dense wood, steel, particle board, etc. Thus, there are some that are much stronger than others in its structure.

#3 - The style

There are many styles of loft bed. Therefore, there is something for every taste. While some are rather simple with only an empty space under the box spring and a ladder, others on the other hand have a few more decorations besides the color

#4 - The equipment

The loft bed is very practical for its multifunctional character. Apart from being a bed, it can also be a desk, as there is usually a space dedicated to that on top of the lofted bed. Some models are even equipped with a wardrobe, drawer and shelf.

#5 - Security

Generally speaking, a loft bed is not recommended for children under 6 years old. Once installed, it is essential to educate them well on how to use it. This would act as a precaution against possible accidents. It is also preferable that the ladder is sturdy and that the bed is well secured.

All you need to know about the loft bed

No one wants to feel cramped, especially in their bedroom. The latter must be large enough to become a space of relaxation, work and leisure and this is the interest of a loft bed. It is a raised bed that, because of its unique design, offers you an unobstructed space either on the side or under the bed. This is the reason why children have fun storing their toys. Over time, the underside of the bedding is used to store things for study or work.

It is even possible to opt for a loft bed which, in addition to being a bed, offers additional storage space with its drawers. Some beds are even equipped with a built-in sofa. You will then have a space where you will be able to privilege moments of relaxation and another where it is possible to arrange to receive its close relations.

A loft bed is also appreciated for its ease of maintenance. All you need to do is to clean it with a sponge soaked in hot water and ammonia. Afterwards, you will only have to rinse it with a cloth to give it back its shine. Note, however, that its maintenance will depend mainly on the material it is made of.

Mezzanine bed or sofa bed?

Mezzanine bed

The loft bed is more than just a high bed, as it frees up more space even in the smallest of rooms. You can set up a small desk or bookcase right next to it, and it has several storage spaces on the bed, such as drawers and even shelves. In some cases, a loft bed has a built-in sofa. This is, among other things, a space where you can both sleep and entertain loved ones. However, this model is quite expensive.

Sofa bed

The sofa bed is a multi-functional piece of furniture that has several advantages. First of all, it offers a comfortable space where you can sit, but it is also easy to unfold for an excellent night. In addition, the transition from sofa to bed is quick. For this very reason, this piece of furniture can be placed in your bedroom or in the living area. Finally, it is accessible at a very affordable price.

Verdict

If the mezzanine bed is better suited to the smallest rooms and saves space, the sofa bed is a good compromise for the most economical.

Tips

Arrange the desk perpendicular to the bed

In a small bedroom, children often prefer to spread out their course and exercise books on the bed to study. The advantage of using a loft bed instead of a single bed is the fact that you have a free space to integrate a work area. The most sensible thing would be to arrange it so that it is perpendicular to the raised bed so that the child does not have to bend over despite the height.

Use the lower part of the bed as a play area

A child's room always reflects his world, where he feels most comfortable. One idea to design his space so he can let go of his imaginations would then be to add a play area. The underneath of the bed is a perfect place for this. You can attach shelves to the wall to store his toys and a play mat too and you're done.

Install a TV corner under the mezzanine

The

space under the loft bed can also be used to house a TV, which is pretty slick. Indeed, it happens that children need to watch documentaries apart from cartoons. The best would be a flat screen fixed to the wall between the bed and the floor. Of course, a small piece of furniture under the screen to put a player would also be welcome. This would give a certain charm to the whole room.

Decorate the underside of the bed with a bench seat

The

lower part of the mezzanine can also be set up as a relaxation area. The bench seat is ideal for this. Thus, during the day, the child does not need to climb the ladder and go on the bed to relax, because the bench and its cushions are there.

Create a reading space under the bed

Book knowledge contributes a lot to a child's intellectual development. The underside of the high bed would be a good place for a reading nook. This can be done by putting an armchair there and attaching shelves so that books can be stored. Therefore, the child can read his books in his free time.
