Kids Platform Beds: Choose Safety and Practicality for Your Growing Child or Teen
Kids platform beds offer safety features, fun designs and practical styles for your growing child. Be sure to choose one that easily adapts to your kid's needs as they age.
Kids platform beds come in many different styles, sizes and designs that are made with children and teens in mind. From safety features to fun designs, there's no problem in finding just the right platform bed for your youngster or teen.
Here are several of the best features available in kids platform beds:
Safety design
You can find a kids platform bed that is made completely with rounded corners, which is a great safety feature considering that most children's bedrooms aren't just a place to sleep...but a place for fun as well!
Who knows when your child may fall on a corner of the bed. With a typical bed, this could result in an injury. But with rounded childrens beds, parents can have greater piece of mind that falls into sharp corners will be avoided.
This type of bed is also low profile, which makes it safer for climbing in and out of bed. Keeping the bed frame a safe distance from the floor is a safety concern, and platform beds are typically designed low to the floor.
Cost effective design
Adapts with age
There are several types of cheap kids beds that are designed to easily adapt to your child's emerging taste in furniture and bedroom decor. Why buy a bed for a young child, then only have to buy another one in a year or two simply because your child has outgrown it?
The best investment is to select a kids bed that can easily be adapted as the years go by. A platform bed with a bookcase headboard, for example, is a great piece of childrens bedroom storage furniture and stands the test of time, no matter how old your child becomes.
Storage space underneath
Also, some platform beds are very practical and offer space underneath for storing baskets, boxes or other temporary storage containers. The older your child becomes, the more stuff he or she will accumulate.
Style is easily transitional
Choosing a contemporary platform bed with clean lines and simple structure is a good choice for kids who are moving into the teenage years. This type of bed fits nicely with any other furniture and is a great piece of transitional bedroom furniture as your kid grows up. You will also save a lot of money by selecting the right kids platform bed early on, since this type is practical for all ages.
No box springs needed
Another reason a platform bed is cost effective is the fact that they are built with a slat system in the frame on which the lay the mattress. There is no need for a box springs, so you save money by not having to purchase a complete box spring and mattress set. They are just as comfortable to sleep on, especially if you choose a good mattress.
Extra features available
Some of the extra features that are well worth the investment, are beds with drawers underneath or a trundle bed system. Kids captain beds are a common choice for many kids rooms because of the traditional storage drawers that are built under the bed frame. These have been around for many years and are generally more traditionally styled in keeping with the original nautical flavor.
The newer version of a captains bed, is a kids platform bed with drawers. These are built in a more contemporary design and offer a variety of drawer configurations. A single or twin bed with drawers may only have 2 or 3 drawers along one side, so that you can push the bed against the wall.
A double bed or queen bed for older kids offer a lot more storage drawers, especially if you select one that has drawers on both sides. Some have a set of two or three drawers on either side. These are great for smaller rooms when you just don't have the room to add a lot of extra bedroom storage furniture.
Trundle system
A trundle bed offers a complete sleep space that is fitted into a large drawer underneath a single bed. These offer an additional bed for guests and slides back under the bed frame just like a drawer. A comfortable mattress fits into a trundle design and is perfect for an extra sleep area when needed.
Storage headboards and wall units
Storage headboards are also a very practical feature that can often be added to a simple platform bed. There are several designs that offer either a bookcase or storage shelves and compartments at the head of the bed. You can even find a bedroom wall unit for the head of a bed that provides a lot of extra storage in any room.
The practical function and design of most kids platform beds make them a top choice among parents and kids alike. Before choosing a bed for your child, be sure to compare designs and styles to make sure that you get the most for your investment.
