- Buying
a Bed for a Child
|
|
When buying a bed for your child, it is important to look
at several points before you make a final decision. Don't let
your child sleep on a hand me down, unless it is only a few years old or
absolutely necessary.
Opposite is a few points to get you started, again, spend
as much as you can afford.
If you are buying a bed for a teenager, do you have the
room for a larger bed? It may sound ridiculous now, but it will give
them a more comfortable sleeping area, and may be useful when they first leave home. |
 |
What age is your child, are you looking at buying a
bed to last for a few years or one to last longer |
|
Your child will be growing, expect to change the bed
as he grows up. |
|
If buying a Bunk Bed, check the height of the ceiling
before ordering. |
|
If your child suffers from asthma or allergies,
consider buying a special mattress, either latex or one which has been
treated. A cheaper alternative is to use a barrier cover for the
mattress |

Starter
Bed
A starter bed is ideal for toddlers who
have out grown their cot and are not ready for a full size single
bed. They are usually smaller than a standard single bed, and lower,
making it easier and safer for the child to get in and out of bed.
|
Single Bed
This is the most popular bed brought for children.
The cheaper models with storage tends to feature sliding doors instead of
drawers and a platform base.
The mid priced ranges usually offer sprung bases and
drawers. |
|
Bunk Beds
These are popular as they are space saving, and
fun. Available in many finishes including pine, wood finish and
metal. If purchasing bunk beds, spend as much as you can, the more
solid they are, the better. Also check that they meet the new
European Standard EN747. |
Fun
Beds
These again are available in many
finishes.
These beds vary from standard cabin beds
with storage and perhaps a desk, to funky cars and even beds with slides
and towers. Again check with the retailer that they are safe.
Also remember the age of your child, he may love it now, but what about in
a years time?
