Chair bed for children
Folding chairs are often used in children's rooms or apartments where there is no separate room for children. In this case, the child sleeps on the unfolded chair at night, and during the day it is folded, freeing up space.
Folding chairs for children are distinguished by a bright pattern. But keep in mind that in a few years such furniture will have to meet the requirements of a grown child. Therefore, it is not worth choosing a very childish drawing. The transformation mechanism must be reliable and simple so that your child can handle it on their own. In addition, it must be safe.
Size
The width of the bed is from 70 to 90 cm, the length is from 180 cm to 2 meters. In this case, the chair can serve the child for a long time, until he grows up. The same size is suitable for an adult. But a different color would be appropriate here. It should be in harmony with the color of the furniture, curtains or the color of the walls. Various prints or other original solutions can be placed on it.
Chair requirements
In order for the chair to be comfortable to sleep, it must be orthopedic. When buying, pay attention to the fact that when unfolded on the sleeping place there are no height differences. The rigidity of both parts should also be the same.
Design
Armchairs with the same mechanism can be made in different styles:
- classic;
- high-tech;
- modern.
Choose a model that matches the style of the room in which the chair will be placed.
Most folding models have a traditional look. An interesting solution can be a roll-out chair-bed. After you pull the seat towards you, it will move away easily and smoothly, and the back will fall into its place. It makes a comfortable bed. The advantage of such models is their durability, reliability and ease of use.
Modern chair-beds are distinguished by minimalism, the absence of unnecessary details. Models without armrests have become popular. Thanks to the original design solutions, they take on a non-standard look. Armrests can be soft and hard, narrow and wide, upholstered in fabric, wooden, laminated. You can buy a chair without armrests.
Recliner can be an interesting option. Its design makes it possible to adjust the angle of the backrest, push the footrest forward. Adjustable in such models and armrests.
Unfolding mechanisms
The chair-bed for daily use is equipped with a mechanism that allows you to fold and unfold the product. Usually they are the same as in sofas.
- "Book". The disadvantage is that you need to move it away during unfolding. It's hard and you can scratchgender.
- "Eurobook" is much easier to unfold, but takes up more space when folded. Will not scratch the floor.
- The draw-out mechanism is easy to use, but more space is needed for unfolding.
- "Dolphin" consists of three parts, so when folded it has a high seat. Suitable for children.
- "Clamshell" (American and French) have a complex but reliable design. Not suitable for children, because it will not be easy for them to lay out such a mechanism.
- "Click-clack" allows you to raise the backrest to the desired height.
- "Boomerang".
What to look out for
The chair should be comfortable to use in any position. It is important to pay attention to the following details:
- Linen drawer.
- Frame.
- Upholstery.
- Filler.
The bedding storage box makes it easier to clean the bed in the morning, but it is not decisive, since the bed can also be stored in the closet.
Frame
The material from which the frame is made is more important for the quality functioning of the chair-bed. Cheap models have a core made of chipboard, the middle price category - made of fiberboard and plywood. The most reliable and expensive will be options with a frame made of beech, pine, birch. New developments are being applied in which the frame will be lighter, but stronger. The chair-bed for children should be made of environmentally friendly materials. A piece of cardboard or slats can support a place to sleep andblocks. It is clear that the latter options are considered more reliable and preferable.
Upholstery
The cover of the chair-bed can be made of cotton, leather (the most expensive), nubuck, flock, jacquard. To protect against stains, fabrics with special impregnation are used. Experts do not advise taking soft chair-beds upholstered in fleecy fabrics. They are difficult to care for. As a result of use, worn spots appear on them. It is better to choose fabrics that are not subject to rapid rubbing, not very light.
Filler
The softness and comfort of the chair provide fillers. In cheap models, this is foam rubber. But he is short-lived. In elite designs, there may be several layers. For example, the bottom one is made of interwoven rubber straps, the middle one is made of latex, and the top one is made of artificial felt.
The filler should not cause allergies. Sometimes it collects a large amount of dust and various bacteria. Mold may form if stored in a humid environment. Therefore, often the filler is impregnated with a special substance that prevents the appearance of harmful microorganisms.
Cost
Depending on the quality of the materials from which the chair-bed is made, the price of such products differs significantly. The cost of a cheap model is from 14 thousand rubles. You can buy a better chair-bed, the price of which reaches 21,000. It all depends on the wishes and the size of your wallet.
