Ergonomic models can combine beds, folding sofas, open shelves and racks, cabinets, dressers and armchairs, it all depends on the design of the design - as a sleeping place for two or multifunctional zone for one child.
Selection of optimal source material
For materials, three requirements are presented: environmental friendliness, high level of strength and reliability. Two-storey beds are made of the following bases:
- wood;
- metal;
- Chipboard, MDF, LDSP.
Metal products have a long operational resource, they are simple on the device and are characterized by a high cost, they are characterized by an uncomplicated design.
The ruler from the array of wood and derivatives is offered in a rich assortment, the most durable options are okhovy, oak and beech. Pine is cheaper, but not adapted for long-term use.
Important! If the choice fell on the products from wood plates, the seller must provide a hygienic certificate, which indicates the possible presence of connections dangerous to the body.
Operating safety criteria
Metal products are intended, additional protection measures in the form of soft sides must be present. Wooden models require special tests for strength: It is desirable that the adult climb on the second floor and made sure that the design will withstand intensive dynamic load.
Unacceptable defects are chips on the surface of the bed, dug-out edges, open fasteners. The bunk design should be fixed to the wall through screws, this measure will prevent the system tipping during games.
A colorless furniture lacquer is considered the optimal coating for a children's bed, it usually does not cause allergies. He should not crumble, if you have a nail on it. If a child is less than 7 years old, bedding must be above 30 cm, for children over 10 years old is enough 15 cm . An inclined staircase, equipped with comfortable handrails, is welcomed, its width must be more than 40 cm. Vertical samples are more dangerous and can create inconvenience when used.

The optimal distance between the level is 85-90 cm, and more than 70 cm should remain from the upper bed to the ceiling. For children under 7 years old, the standard level of the lower bed relative to the floor is 30 cm, for a child of 7-14 years old, a convenient height - 40 cm, older children need not less than half a meter. Mattresses, as well as in ordinary beds, can be spring and flawed, they are chosen depending on the needs in elasticity and rigidity.
Bunk Bed Execution Options
The classic model looks like a 2-level design, in which the second bed is strictly over the first. Also manufacturers offer:
- Displaced placement of sleeping places. Mattresses are located in parallel to each other with a significant shift in the horizontal direction. The "deaf" zone here can occupy the rack, wardrobe, chest with drawers.;
- Sleeps are arranged at right angles to each other;
- The two-story design is equipped with a retractable mattress.
Important! If the child is one, the lower tier can serve as a good platform for games, if desired it occupies a sports or educational inventory.
In order to optimize space on the first floor, provide a storage system in the form of a cabinet, shelves. If the apartment is one-room, you can combine sleeping places for adults and a child: a large bed or sofa will be located below, and on top - superstructure in the form of a children's bed. You can also change these function in places, which is relevant if the baby is afraid of height.
