Dimensions

When choosing a two-tier structure, its size is an important factor. When a bed is bought for a teenager or an adult, then its parameters should be at least 90x200 centimeters. It is important to remember that a child who is still growing will need to buy a bed, adjusted for extra space.

Provided that the height of the ceiling in the living room is rather limited, and we all know that children love to have fun on the bed, a sleeping place located under the ceiling can cause physical injuries. Therefore, buying a cot for a child, the choice is to give the product in height from 160 to 180 centimeters.

Special features

Reliability is a fundamental factor in any IKEA baby product. When creating furniture, extremely reliable elements are used to ensure good fixation of the bed and its immobility. The presence of high sides with rigid bolt filling is a separate plus. IKEA experts advise buying loft beds to kids over 6 years old.

These beds allow you to create on the first tier a space for entertainment or a workplace, which meansthat the distance from the bottom of the bed to the floor is more than enough so that the child can move freely under the second tier. Consequently, the height of such a model will be impressive - up to 206 centimeters. Width - measured by the size of the upper sleeping space.

The beds of Stuva, for example, are 99 centimeters wide, while Tromso is equipped with an upper double bed. In the case of free space on the lower level, the bed base can cover a fairly large part of the area. It is also necessary to take into account the interesting fact that the bed, without reducing the space of the room, superficially reduces the area of ​​the ceiling and prevents full lighting. This point should be considered when buying such a bed, you may need additional lighting of the room.

Most of the beds attics from IKEA is equipped with the function of additional fixation. This moment does not depend on the weight of their little owners, but on the increased dynamic load that they create.

Ideas for placement in the interior

A variety of design solutions makes it possible to enter the design in almost any interior.It is always much more interesting to sleep in an attic bed than on a regular model. Beds of this type provide the opportunity to use the space twice. In the case when the bed is used on the first tier only as a guest, the addition of just a few decorative-type pillows will turn the crib into a comfortable sofa. At the same time, there is a lot of space under the loft bed and can be used for any purpose.
