Such furniture can be the main focus in any room decoration, as its design can be very diverse, as well as the color of the upholstery. The model is a module with three surfaces for sleeping, where the seats located at the top are stationary, and those at the bottom are rolled out due to the roller mechanism.

On the side parts of the products are attached or fixed stairs.

The non-folding model is considered the most popular. In this bed, the beds are located under each other. The third tier is located under the very ceiling. The design is not very convenient, but costs significantly lower than other models.

In the retractable corner model, all the details of the design of the crib are located at an angle relative to each other, which looks very interesting and significantly increases the area of the room. The assembled transformer looks like one sleeping place. But if you take it apart, then you can put three children on the bed.

Bedroom Ideas

A children's bunk bed should be located in the room according to the following features:

installation is carried out away from windows, as street noise prevents babies from sleeping;
placement of the structure may not leave the playing area in the room, so it is necessary to use the bed itself as a place for games. For example, this is a game zone with many mazes;
Climbing the third tier should be easy. To make a bed you need a special ladder;
the location of the stairs for climbing to the second and third tiers is preferably done at the side of the structure so as not to interfere with the occupant of the first floor;
for someone who is on the upper tier, additional lighting is necessary if he wants to read or do some business;
A good idea is to place small niches at the berths to store different items and books.

A children's bunk bed is usually the accent of the room decor. To her, as a rule, the rest of the interior items are selected.

Basic constitutional security requirements

First of all, it is necessary that the materials from which children's beds are made are environmentally friendly. Most often, natural wood, chipboard, MDF, metal are used for the manufacture of furniture. All of them have both advantages and disadvantages:

natural wood - high-quality eco-friendly material is very reliable and practical. A wooden bed will decorate any interior of a children's room, regardless of style and design. The disadvantages of natural wood are its high cost;
Particleboard and MDF are the most popular materials for the production of children's furniture items. The life of the product depends on the thickness and density of the material. Using products from particleboard or MDF, it is necessary to monitor the level of toxic substances released;
metal is the most durable and durable material. It is used for interior decoration in a wide variety of areas (modern, high-tech, fusion). However, metal products should not be placed in rooms with high humidity, since corrosion of the product frame is possible.

It is necessary that the bottom and frame of the beds be high strength, as children will definitely want to jump on them.The design of a three-story baby bed should be very comfortable and safe. To prevent injuries when the baby falls from a height, strong handrails are built at a height of about 20 cm from the mattress. Of great importance is the ladder for the bed. It must be as strong as possible. The gaps between the steps are calculated individually, taking into account the age and height of the children, but the distance is usually not more than 40 cm.

An important detail of the crib is the mattress. It should be of good quality, perfectly fit the size of the bed and fit tightly into the opening. The same requirements apply to products used in kindergarten.

The choice of a bed in three tiers depends on the preferences of the user, the wishes of the children, the area of the room, the ages of the children, the financial capabilities of the parents. Three-tier models of any type are an excellent solution for large families.
