For the production of cribs used chipboard, MDF, wood, plywood. Not only quality, but also the price of the product depends on what material was used for the manufacture. The most expensive is an array of wood. At the same time, it is environmentally friendly and high-quality material. All the usefulness of natural wood products is reduced to nothing if they were treated with chemical varnishes.

If a child hits wood furniture, the probability of injury is less than if the structures were made of MDF or particleboard. The fact is that wood is a softer material. Another environmentally friendly product is plywood. It costs less than the previous version, but has the same nice appearance. Plywood is a reliable, durable material that is well undergoing restoration.

It is important that the raw materials used in production are not toxic. If the bed is not made of wood, but of chipboard, then these should be slabs of class E0 or E1. In the first, there is no formaldehyde at all, and in the second, the substance content is minimal.

It is unsafe to place products from particleboard of classes E2, E3 in the living space. A high concentration of formaldehyde leads to the fact that the skin and respiratory tract of a person become inflamed. Often this causes a severe allergic reaction, which is especially dangerous for children.

Boards made of chipboard are strong enough, so they withstand heavy loads. Beds made from this material are cheaper than solid models. Products from MDF are not afraid of moisture, they retain their shape better. In terms of environmental cleanliness, they approximately correspond to E0 class chipboard and exceed E1.

Plywood beds are ideal for young children. The material practically does not get dirty, it can be washed by any means available at home.

The appearance of baby beds is varied, so you can choose the perfect furniture for any interior. The market offers options as catchy colors, and calm, classic tones of dark and light wood.

When choosing a bed, the following parameters must be considered:

1. Security. It depends on what materials are used in the production, what varnish they are coated with, what paint is used. So that the child does not injure himself, the edges of the furniture must be rounded, and the sides should be high. This will prevent the baby from accidentally falling out of bed.
2. The age of the child. The bed should fit the baby well in height, length, width. Parents who expect that the furniture will be used for a long time should think about choosing a model with a margin of growth.
3. Compliance of the goods with the certificate. This option ensures that the product has passed the safety check. Be sure to ask the seller to provide a document to verify the reliability of the product.
4. Strength. The stability requirements for a crib are much higher than for an adult. It should not be chipped or cracked. This is important for safety (the child may be injured) and for the furniture to last longer.
5. It is necessary to check how easily the doors of the cabinets open, the drawers in the multifunctional bed slide out. Nothing should creak and seize. It’s better not to be shy once again to double-check everything in the store, than later to suffer from furniture repairs.
