Baby cot

Often there is a situation where a guest for a few days with a child, not enough beds. Or you go on a long family journey by car, or you go to the dacha, where stationary beds are not equipped, while you want to provide a comfortable rest for your child. You will be rescued by a device known to everyone - a children's clamshell. A modern clamshell, unlike the "sovdepovskoy" predecessor, allows you to create conditions for a full sleep of the child. Let's try to decide on the choice of a cot-cot depending on the requirements that you make to this subject.

Traditional children's folding bed

A well-known fabric clamshell on a frame connected to tension springs, or simply a clamshell made from a dense fabric reinforced on a metal frame, is still relevant. Traditional clamshell models are equipped with a headboard, the slope of which can be adjusted (raised or lowered), which makes it possible to use the device without an additional cushion. This clamshell is chosen for compactness and light weight, especially if the strong polypropylene fabric is fixed on a lightweight aluminum frame. But the design has disadvantages: it is undesirable to use it for a long time, as it gradually bends; on the cot can not get up, jump, or exceed the recommended load.

Children's soft clamshell

The design of a child's soft folding bed is similar to the design of a classic clamshell, but the bed base is a mattress made of woolen batting, foam rubber, etc. in the case of their cotton material and cloth with a film thread. The mattress is easy to clean to keep in proper condition.

Children's clamshell on the slats

The basis of this bed is the transverse laminated plates - lamellas. The lamellas create a flat surface, so this device is rightly called a pediatric orthopedic clamshell. The clamshell with the base of the lamella supports the child's locomotor apparatus in the most favorable position. The lamellar base is capable of withstanding a significant weight load and ensures safety in operation - you can be sure that even if the child, by mistake, rises on such a cot with his feet, it will not fail and fall.

Baby cot with mattress

A significant part of children's clamshells comes complete with an orthopedic mattress . Sometimes buyers, trying to save money, buy one cot, thinking of buying a mattress elsewhere. But the mattress from the kit fits perfectly to the clamshell in size. Orthopedic mattress will provide the most convenient location of the child's spine during rest. Removable mattress is easy to keep in good sanitary condition, since it is put on easily removable cotton cover, and the mattress filler is designed for numerous washing and drying. When buying, you need to pay attention to the material from which the filler is made. Optimum option - holkon, made of hollow of bulk fibers. A mattress filled with a holcona well supports the spine, does not lose shape, perfectly retains heat, while providing the necessary air permeability and moisture resistance. Another remarkable property of the holcolon mattress is its hypoallergenicity.

Even the most comfortable clamshell should not be used constantly. A 10-hour nighttime nap of a child should still be organized on a fixed bed or sofa. In kindergartens and daytime urban children's camps, where sleep lasts no more than 2.5 hours, soft children's cots help to solve the problem of a deficit area.
