Children’s Bed Shopping Tips

in Sleep Information / by Tony
October 23, 2014

Nothing beats the effects of a good night’s sleep, more so for your little one. As a parent, you will appreciate the role of sleep in the development of your child. This is why you need to make the right choice of bed. It might seem like an easy task but wait until you get into the furniture store and you may feel overwhelmed at all of the choice.

Buying The Best Bed

Luckily, there are some ideas you can use in order to get your child a bed that is not only comfortable but also safe and trendy. Consider these tips for finding the perfect children’s beds:

Your Child’s Needs

You need to take the age of the child into account as obviously you can’t go for a double bed if they are only 2 years old. You should also consider where you will place the bed as you don’t want to take up all of their playing space in the room either.

Most shops recommend the following sizes for these ages:

  • Toddler bed: This is the starter bed for children between 1 year  and 4 years
  • Twin-sized bed: This is a larger bed that your child can enjoy up to 16 years.
  • Full-sized bed: This is appropriate for children from the age of 6 years to 18 years

Styles

There are many varieties such as convertible, divan and guest beds but you can still get them in appropriate sizes. For instance, cabin beds, bunk beds, mid sleepers, themed beds, and high sleepers among many others. Taking your child along will help to get a bed he/she will treasure and enjoy sleeping in.

Bed Frames

Truth be told, your child’s bed will probably be one of the most abused pieces of furniture it the house and it undergoes constant torture each day. As such, you need to select a bed frame that can sustain such pressure. Common frames are made of metal, solid wood and wood-effect frames.

You can also opt for an upholstered frame, which comes covered in soft material such as cloth or leather to enhance comfort. Each of these has its strengths and aesthetic values and you should buy based on the style you want for your child’s room.

Choice Mattresses

Your child’s bed is only as good as the mattress you buy. Standard mattresses in the UK are 1910 by 900 mm. However, before you should consider the safety of the material and ensure it has undergone UK safety regulation tests. A mattress must be comfortable, fire resistance as well as the right fit.

It might be hard for your children to transition to an ordinary bed but buying wisely will ensure that it is as pain free a process as possible.

Get Bold With Trending Bedroom Designs

Your bedroom is a sanctuary; that place where you lay back, relax and forget everything else. You can only enjoy this feeling if you design it perfectly. While a bedroom is primarily supposed to offer you a sleeping space, you can get creative with your bedroom design ideas to make it an idyllic dream room.

Getting the Perfect Bedroom Space

In order to get it right you have to consider some aspects including:

  • The space available: Whether you are planning a small nest or a large master bedroom, space must be your first consideration. Before coming up with any design plan, you must ensure you have adequate space to fit all the furnishing you need to fit in.
  • Room users: While you might be the one responsible for designing the bedroom, remember your partner also spends time here. You must consider his/her needs and consult them because you don’t want to sacrifice your relationship on a design you saw in a fashion magazine. If it’s a child’s bedroom that you’re designing keep in mind that children’s beds can really add character and colour to the room.
  • Storage vs. maneuverability: It is cool to have myriad storage options but remember to leave enough space to move around after your bedroom furniture is placed. More importantly, avoid cramping everything in because it negates the whole idea of making your room cool and minimalistic.

If you have sorted out these issues then you are ready to get to work on implementing your design. Here are some ideas you can borrow from all over the world to give a personal touch to your bedroom:

  • Scandinavian chic: This is an interior touch borrowed from the Danes. It combines contemporary and bright accessories with white or pale-grey walls, whitewashed floor, black and white bedroom furnishing and digitally printed photographic bed linen. You can mix patterns to form geometric printed rugs to hexagonal prints.
  • Rustic Country: This is a design that has never really gone out of trend. The laid-back off-white walls, rustic vintage furniture using reclaimed and weathered wood and wooden flooring gives your bedroom an amazingly calm look. To complete the setting, go for antiques such as watches and lamps and use metal luggage trunks for bedside storage.
  • Dazzling blue: Blue is not going out of fashion anytime soon in interior design. You can go for the trendy and bold painterly watercolour effect, inky patterns which you can apply on art pieces, curtains and bed linen. This look will also go well with sleek contemporary accessories to give your room a modern touch.
  • Victorian fresh botanical inspiration: This is one of the most serene bedroom designs and it borrows from Victorian botanical paintings. The floorboards should be natural to retain the natural look while rugs can get green and cream colour. White paint works best on the furniture and the bed linen will of course take vintage-style botanical prints.

There is so much inspiration to drive your bedroom design so get creative and enjoy.
