Bunk bed

In many situations, a bunk bed becomes an indispensable part of the arrangement of the children's room, freeing up space in the room for children's games and classes. And then the room becomes multifunctional, being not only a bedroom, but also a full play and working area for two children.

Advantages of a retractable bunk bed for children

Unlike a high bunk bed, the sliding model has some undeniable advantages. And the first and most important of them is the complete safety of children.

When children have a small age difference, and they are still not very large, there is a risk of injury from falling one of them while climbing and descending the stairs to the second "floor" of the bed. With a sliding bed, this risk is absent in principle, because both babies are at a safe height and are not forced to climb anywhere.

In addition, children have no reason to argue - both tiers are approximately on the same level, so that no one has any privileges and advantages.

At the same time, the bed occupies a minimum of space and can be located at any wall. In the retracted state, it turns into a single bed and is simply an ideal solution for organizing a bed for two in a small room.

Design of a retractable bunk bed

The lower tier is pulled out by means of a special withdrawable mechanism. This design is quite simple and reliable, it provides for active operation, that is, it is designed for daily transformation.

In addition to sleeping, the lower tier can be an additional place for storing children's things, toys, bedding, etc. Often it has roomy drawers, which is very convenient and that makes the bed even more functional.

Also there are models of a two-tier retractable child's bed with the adjustment of the height of the lower tier by means of a lifting mechanism. That is, if you want, you can arrange both tiers at the same height and connect them to one wide bed.

Typically, the bed body is made of wood or chipboard , and the sliding mechanism is made of metal. And since the load on the body and the pull-out mechanism of such a bed is quite high, the manufacturers stipulate this and use high-quality and high-strength materials.

Choose a bunk bed with pull-out bed

The first thing that you need to pay attention to when buying - is the reliability of the mechanism and the strength of the structure. In addition, we have to take into account the needs of children, their tastes, and take into account the desire for competition. In other words, the bed should not just be reliable, beautiful and functional, but also to please the children.

So that soon the wheels and the entire withdrawable mechanism will not become unusable, and also to reduce the load on the floor covering, you need to make your choice among the models of sliding beds with wide wheels. This is especially true if there are boxes for things in the lower tier that increase the weight of the structure.

For the safety of children up to 6-7 years of age, it is preferable to choose a bed with sides. So babies can not fall to the floor or to the lower neighbor. In this case, all the corners of the body must be rounded in order to minimize the risk of injury during active children's games, which inevitably accompany the laying process.

Despite the relative novelty of these beds, the market has a very solid range of models. But if you can not find a suitable bed, you can always make an individual order, most furniture factories provide such a service.
