Single Beds
51Your child is growing up and it's time to make the transition from a toddler's room to a "grown-up" bedroom? But you're still missing the most important thing for perfecting the decor and ensuring a good night's sleep: a single bed, the room's centerpiece. There are many different models of children's single beds. Your choice will have to be adapted to the space available, the age of your toddlers, and... their tastes! Here are a few tips to help you make the right choice.
Buying a children's single bed the right way
Whether for a single child or a sibling, their bedroom will remain their paradise for many years to come. So it's important to choose with them in mind. Your offspring's bedroom is a place that will inevitably evolve with their age. For a little girl's bedroom, a colorful princess bed will be very popular, while her brother may prefer an adventurer's hut bed.
If room space is limited, the perfect space-saving solution is a children's loft bed. Modern, it's the ultimate space-saver, allowing you to install a desk underneath, or suitable storage space. Finally, if your little ones have to share the same bedroom, and are old enough not to be afraid of emptiness, the bunk bed is often the most practical and popular alternative. Who hasn't squabbled over who gets the "top bunk"?
A detail that can also help you choose: the length of the single child's bed according to age. In fact, some sizes are more suitable for children up to 6 years of age, for example. To avoid reinvesting in a classic-sized single bed, you can opt for an evolving bed.
Choice of materials, colors and bedding for a restful night's sleep
The bedroom is a refuge for children and will remain so for many years to come, for playing, sleeping, doing homework and entertaining friends. That's why materials and colors must be chosen with care, so that they feel at home in their own little "home", welcoming and in their own image. The best color compromise is white. It brings modernity to the room while brightening it up. What's more, it goes well with all other colors. More classic, solid wood offers warmth and sturdiness; lightweight pine, for example, remains a safe bet.
Sleeping is essential, starting with bedding. We all know how important choosing the right bedding is for the health of our spine. Of course, your child must also benefit from quality bedding to ensure a good night's sleep, and above all, a good night's sleep that lasts. And to support a good mattress, it's just as important to invest in a base of the same quality. So, choosing the right base and mattress should be carefully considered as part of the overall budget for your purchase of a single children's bed.
Now all that's left is to put the finishing touches to the bedroom decor by choosing a bed linen set, comforter, sheets and pillowcases, cushions or bolsters. Think of everything.
