How to choose the right sofa for a child?

Any parents care about their child, and in particular about his comfort, so they pay great attention to the choice of children's furniture. This article is about how to choose the right sofa for a child, given the design, size, color and rigidity of the product.

It's no secret that in most cases, parents prefer a sofa that their child liked, but this is not always right. It is necessary to approach this matter more seriously, taking into account the safety of furniture and its effect on the health of the baby.

Of course, the sofa in the children's room should be bright and interesting, saturated color. Well, if it will be in the form of some animal, typewriter or animated character. On such an object the child will be happy to spend time and go to sleep with a smile on his face. In the daytime, with such a sofa, you can play as with a toy, which is sure to please both mom and baby.

But, choosing a beautiful colorful sofa for a child, in no case should we forget about technical aspects, for example, about fabric. It should not just be bright and beautiful, but also ready for children's fun. You need to choose a fabric for the upholstery so that it can be washed and from a felt pen, and from ice cream, and from tomato juice. For example, European countries, in which children's furniture are manufactured (Italy in particular), produce sofas exclusively using material that is easy to clean and wash.

It is important to think about how much the purchased item will be used by the child. Remember that the baby is growing, and if today he likes a sofa, then tomorrow he can stop loving him. With age, the dimensions of the sleeper should also be increased. For example, if you know that a sofa is purchased only for a year or two, you can give preference to cheaper options, but if you choose it for many years - do not save and give priority to a quality and durable option.

The choice of the mechanism of such furniture also directly depends on the child's age. So, a sofa for a child of up to four years does not have to be laid out, so a simple non-foldable ottoman is quite suitable. Why is this the most optimal variant? First, small children are not yet able to independently lay out and fold the sofa. Secondly, the ottoman takes up less space.

For older children, a roll-out model is suitable, in which one part is hidden under another. Today, the Eurowalk sofa is the most common model in children's rooms. All these options are considered popular both in Russia and abroad. For example, Italian children's furniture is presented in all the above options.

Thinking about the safety of furniture, give preference to the sofas, the frame of which is made of plywood or timber. Other materials can be dangerous for the baby. As for stiffness, a sofa for a child should be both soft and hard at the same time - choose something average. It is impossible that during sleep the body of the child is buried in a soft surface, but lying on the boards is also not recommended.

We hope, our recommendations will help you properly and responsibly choose a sofa for your child. Consider not only beauty, but also comfort, shape, rigidity. The more responsible parents approach the choice of this subject of the interior for the children's room, the more grateful the child will be, and the less likely the occurrence of any problems with the health of the baby.
