The bed for the grown up child should be comfortable, cozy, functional and suitable for the interior of the children's room. The bed "dolphin" with boxes corresponds to all these requirements and legally claims a new individual place of sleep of the child after the cradle.
Features of the design of the dolphin bed
The cot "dolphin" is made of natural materials - a natural solid wood, painted with a colorless hypoallergenic varnish. To expand the functionality of the bed, it is often equipped with roll-out drawers on wheels or skids. In these spacious internal boxes it is very convenient to store the child's bedding, clothes or toys.
The bed has a secure rim that excludes the fall of the child during sleep or daytime play. On the side, a voluminous dolphin is depicted, which once again underlines the name of this type of furniture.
Bed "dolphin" with drawers is most often equipped with wheels that simplify the process of pulling out and sliding drawers. These wheels do not spoil the floor covering, because they have rubber lining.
When there is a carpet in front of the crib, the wheels may get stuck on it. In this case, there are models of a "dolphin" bed with two drawers that "ride" on skids raised above the floor and absolutely not interfering with the opening, since they are located above the carpet.
Manufacturers offer ready-made beds of different colors and sizes, but if necessary, you can order individual production of the bed according to a separate drawing.
Advantages and disadvantages of a dolphin bed
In fact, a cot "dolphin" with drawers has much more pluses than minuses. For a child aged 2 to 7 years, it is the best option for a bed for several reasons:
- A spacious bed that allows the child to have a very good rest and sleep;
- a small height of the bed above the floor - even if the baby decides to jump off the bed, he will not hurt himself;

What to look for when buying?
First of all, look at the material of manufacture. Ideal for children's furniture is wood. This natural material is completely safe and environmentally friendly.
Of course, the most expensive models are made from valuable types of wood, such as mahogany or oak.

These breeds are cheaper, but this does not mean that the bed will be much inferior in quality and functionality.
The beds from the chipboard are even more affordable, however in this case it is necessary to make sure that a high-quality plate is used without adding harmful formaldehyde resins and processed with a harmless composition.
Be sure to test all the mechanisms in bed and make sure of their reliability and quality, then to not face the problem of poor functioning of the drawers and sliding mechanisms.
And, of course, when buying, you need to choose a suitable bed design. First of all, the bed should be like a child. And at the same time fit into the interior of the nursery and fit the dimensions.
