A modern children's room serves two completely different functions. Firstly, this is a bedroom, and secondly, an area for various games and activities. It is important to choose the right not only wallpaper, floor, ceiling, but also furniture. The ideal solution is a car bed for a girl, which will become not only a wonderful play space, but also a cozy place to sleep. Among the variety of bed models, there is sure to be a suitable option.
Traditional (classic) bed
The simplest model is four legs or more, a frame with slats or a solid rigid base and a mattress. Such beds differ in the presence or absence of a headboard and footboard, their height, the height of the legs and the overall dimensions of the bed. This model is ideal for installation in the bedroom. The under-bed space can be used to store a wide variety of things.
Manufacturing materials
The most important value is the life and health of the child; accordingly, when choosing a car bed, adults should first of all give preference to materials that cannot harm the health of their baby.
- The leader in the list of high-quality, environmentally friendly and natural raw materials for the production of children's furniture is wood. But in accordance with the quality characteristics, the cost of the product also increases. Wooden models are finished with plastic.
- In some cases, it is permissible to use metal; this material is the most durable, and real designer masterpieces can be created from it. But due to the high probability of injury on such a bed, such options are suitable only for teenage children.
- The most common option is MDF. It makes quite durable (but no stronger than wood or metal) and stylish bed models.
- The most budget option is chipboard. It is very convenient to assemble the structure. The strength of the product suffers, and if low-quality raw materials are used, harm to the child’s health may occur.
- Laminated chipboard is a high-quality and fairly durable material that many manufacturers prefer. Thanks to special surface lamination, it gains additional strength. Also, this type of raw material is one of the most convenient for the manufacture of children's furniture, since the top protective layer allows you to give the parts any color.
- A car bed for a boy, made of plastic, looks very modern. This design is easy to care for. The plastic version is more suitable for younger boys. The material is inferior in strength to wood and metal, but it is less traumatic.
In order to make the right choice, parents must determine what criteria are fundamental for them.
Criterion | Material | Age |
Naturalness, durability | Tree | Junior preschool, senior preschool, teenager |
Strength | Metal | Teenage |
Originality | Metal, plastic, chipboard | Teenage (metal), junior and senior preschool (plastic), junior preschool, senior preschool, teenage (LDSP) |
Lightweight design | MDF, chipboard | Junior preschool, senior preschool, teenager |

The external design of the model may vary. Adults should listen to the wishes of their children. However, do not forget that the external attractiveness must be matched by high quality.

Sofa bed
A bed whose design features make it easy to transform it into a sofa during the day. Allows you to comfortably receive guests. Suitable for comfortable reception of guests.
Fits harmoniously into a multifunctional room, which is both a bedroom (at night) and a living room (during the day). There is usually a box under the mattress for storing bed linen.
Bunk bed
Two sleeping places located one above the other. Equipped with a ladder for climbing to the upper tier and drawers for storage under the lower one.
An ideal solution if there are two same-sex children in the family and the children's room is small. Allows you to significantly free up the space of the nursery and increases the area for games. Sleeping places can be located next to each other in steps (terraces) - a less advantageous option.
Types and dimensions of the design
First of all, parents are looking for a comfortable bed that will easily fit into the interior and will be safe for the child. For many, the functionality of a piece of furniture is also important. There are a large number of models available for users to choose from.
Model | Peculiarities | Child's age |
Single-tier standard | Doesn't take up much space, fits easily into any interior | From primary preschool to adolescence |
Matryoshka | Suitable for small spaces, equipped with several sleeping places | From middle preschool to primary school |
Ottoman | Comfort and soft materials create a safe environment for the little ones | From junior preschool to junior school |
Bunk | Features 2 beds, as well as a large number of shelves and drawers | From middle preschool to primary school |
Loft bed | The sleeping place is on the 2nd floor. Lower tier - training area, sports corner, play area | From middle preschool to middle school |
Thanks to the variety of options, everyone can choose a design that meets certain requirements:
- Any model is designed taking into account the safety of the child. The 2nd floor of a bunk bed is necessarily equipped with additional sides. Single-tier structures designed for the smallest children are also equipped with various means of protection.
- Depending on the age of the child, the size of the bed varies. You can choose models with a mattress length from 120 to 200 cm.
- The design of a piece of furniture is varied. These include passenger cars (including racing cars) and large vehicles. If a child lives in a room alone, a single-tier standard bed (bed, sides, headboard, decorative trim) will suit him. You can also opt for a two-tier structure, in which the sleeping area will be on the 2nd floor. On the ground floor there may be a desk or a play area. In this version, the “fire engine” bed is often made.
- If you need to organize a sleeping area for two restless people, choose bunk beds styled like a bus or truck. Despite the fact that such structures are equipped with all the necessary partitions and stairs, it is worth remembering safety - two-tier products are recommended for children over 5 years old.
- Many models are equipped with additional decorative elements. The most common ones are lights and wheels. Depending on the design, some parts may move, glow, or provide sound effects.
- The design of the bed in the form of a car can be equipped with shelves and niches for the child’s things. A two-tier model with an equipped sleeping area on the 2nd floor below is complemented by a study area with shelves for books, a table and space for a computer. Also on the 1st floor there can be a sports corner or play area.
- The range includes options with a lifting mechanism - manual, spring or with gas shock absorbers. A small child cannot handle the manual construction on his own.
When placing children on a bunk bed, the top floor should be given to the oldest child.
The model must be selected depending on the dimensions of the room. There are practically no restrictions for spacious rooms. But for a small apartment it is worth purchasing a bunk structure or a loft bed with additional functionality. Such models may have a stylish design with asymmetrical elements.
