  • Low mobility Solid weight is unlikely to allow moving such a bed in a room;
  • Peculiar conditions for changing bed linen. To fill the sheet - you have to catch it, you can cope with a pillowcase and duvet cover outside the second tier;
  • Low ceilings.Owners of those will not be very convenient to use a similar bed.

When choosing, it is worth considering the important points:

  • Security. The bed should have a solid structure. All elements must withstand proper load. It is desirable that the furniture was attached to the wall. If it is a sleeping place for a child, then you need to take care of the height of the sides, they must be at least 35 cm from the top of the mattress. You can also install removable stoppers that will not allow the child to fall from a height. It should be noted that the design should not have sharp corners;
  • Materials. They must be reliable, insensitive to sunlight, of course, the product must be environmentally friendly. Simple care also plays an important role;
  • Height. The owner of the upper tier should feel comfortable not only in the prone position, but also sitting. Agree to prop up the ceiling head - a rather dubious idea;
  • Transformation. If the bed is purchased by a child, then this nuance of the mechanism will be very useful. As he grows older, the bed will also be adapted to his needs.

Models

The choice of samples is extremely diverse, consider the most common types:

  • 2 bunk beds with two beds. In such models, sleeping areas are located one above the other or slightly offset. The first floor can be a bed and a sofa.
  • With stairs. Suitable for teenage children and adults. Ladder can be located strictly perpendicular to the floor, and may be under a slight slope. In the first case, the staircase does not take place, in the second case it will be a little more convenient, despite the occupied space, which will be minimal.
  • With steps. For younger children, the most preferred option. Since the steps are durable and convenient, the advantages of the steps can be attributed to the ability to make them embedded boxes for storing trifles. The child wakes up the stairs in a comfortable way down; an excellent addition to safety is the installation of handrails or handrails.
  • With storage boxes. A definite plus, which will be appropriate in all style decisions. There may be several boxes. They can be used to store bed linen, everyday items, items for personal use.A bed with three drawers is the most convenient and functional.
  • With shelves. They can be located on the first tier, attaching to the wall, and on the upper tier, however, the shelves of the second floor will be of a small size, so as not to hide the already limited space.
  • With wardrobe. The size of the cabinet should be selected based on the size of the room.
  • With one berth, a bed attic or single-tier. If you just need to free up space in the room, raising the bed up will be the right decision.
