Rollout
One wooden children's bed accommodates the second, located below. The lower berth leaves if necessary, and in the morning it can be refilled and pushed back. Such models look very neat and aesthetically pleasing, and in terms of cost they do not differ too much from two-tier structures. The beds are nearby, and not one below the other. Such products are additionally equipped with convenient drawers and shelves, which allows you to use the roll-out model as a small cabinet for storing things.
Attic
The attic bed is suitable for boys aged 6 years and above. The design of such a product is as follows: the sleeping bed is located on top, a bit like a superstructure, and a desk, a bedside table with drawers or a children's sofa can be placed below.

The product is very practical and affordable, it is convenient to refuel or lay out when the child is preparing for bed. If necessary, you can purchase couches, which are transformed into compact children's sofas. The disadvantage is the insufficient width of the berth.
Sofa bed
The sofa bed also belongs to the category of transformers: initially it is a corner where you can sit down and relax, but after a few simple manipulations it turns into a sleeping place. It takes up a little free space and looks harmonious in a room with any interior. These products are suitable for both 8 years old and older children.
Advantages of similar furniture:

- Compactness. A sofa bed takes up minimal space in the room.
When choosing a sofa bed, you should pay attention to the lifting mechanism. Too tight design will not allow the child to independently transform the product.
Selection tips
The choice of a children's bed is influenced by many factors, including the age of the child, his taste preferences, features of the room’s interior, furniture safety requirements.
Taking into account age
When buying a bed for a boy, it is necessary to be guided by such an important factor as age. After all, the older the child, the larger the need to purchase furniture.
Kids under 3 years old are advised to pick up classic single models or pull-out options. Preschool children will love toy beds, attics, catwalks, couches and bunk structures. The hardest thing is to choose a bed for a teenager, since the preferences and tastes of the future owner of furniture should be taken into account. The sleeping bed should have a reliable design, as often children use it as a springboard for games.

The design of children's furniture is diverse, the choice of colors and configurations is very wide. Many designers consider beds made from natural wood to be the most acceptable and practical. In this case, it is best to leave the natural shade unchanged, covering the surface with high-quality varnish.
For boys, beds of cold shades made in a related color scheme, for example, blue, are most suitable. For children over 5 years old, you can choose more stringent colors: brown or gray. It should be remembered that too bright surfaces do not very well affect the baby's sleep.
If it is possible to place the child in a separate room, then the choice of model and design will depend solely on the taste preferences and dimensions of the room. If the children share several children, it is better to give preference to universal options. When the boy is forced to huddle in the room with his parents, they choose a classic concept that fits perfectly into the decoration of the living room.

When choosing a bed for a boy, you should pay attention to the material of manufacture.
- Natural wood. Most preferred option. Differs in durability, environmental friendliness and durability. The downside is high cost.
- Metal products have a long service life, but they do not always harmonize with the interior of the room. Moreover, such beds are cold and heavy.
- MDF is the most budget option. Manufacturers offer a wide variety of models, textures and colors. But such furniture will not last long.
- The chipboard is much better than MDF, but it is necessary to analyze the composition of the raw material to make sure that it does not contain toxic substances harmful to the health of the child.
Choosing a bed with leather inserts, you should require a certificate of quality. Such material often causes allergies, so it is important to protect the child from unpleasant consequences. You should also pay attention to the protective coating (varnishes, enamels), which may have a certain degree of toxicity.
Going to the store, you need to familiarize yourself with all the nuances of choosing beds for boys. After all, furniture for children must comply with increased safety requirements and age characteristics. Better to devote some time to data analysis than later regret the acquisition.
