Two-story systems have appeared quite a long time ago, and it is no longer new to see them in a child's room. However, a bed with a closet may cause surprise, especially a loft bed. This modification appeared relatively recently. Let's figure out what their features, advantages and disadvantages are. But first, you need to understand what it is.

A loft bed with a wardrobe. From the name itself, you can determine that the design is unusual. It is a kind of hybrid of a work area and a sleeping place. It also contains a wardrobe and shelves for linen. And all this fits into one structure.

Usually, beds with a wardrobe are arranged as follows: on the second floor there is a sleeping area, under it there is a wardrobe (it can be nearby, attached to the general structure). Also, this type of bed is equipped with additional shelves and drawers. The space under the rest area is usually equipped for a workspace, that is, a full-fledged computer desk with drawers and a comfortable writing surface is attached.

The general principle on which this mechanism is built is described above. However, there are various modifications. We provide the opportunity to choose an option for every taste, for every design and budget.

There are two main criteria according to which sleeping systems of this type are divided into several types:

the material from which the base is made;
type of construction.

According to the first criterion, they can be divided into beds made of natural wood and lumber (chipboard, laminated chipboard, MDF, etc.). Of course, natural wood is better in quality and environmental performance. But such material is expensive. If you are looking for furniture of fairly good quality at an affordable price, you should give preference to lumber.

There are many varieties of loft beds based on this raw material, which are not inferior in quality to products made of natural wood. The essence of such a base is that after processing solid wood, parts of the raw material remain that are not suitable for use in this form (uneven edges, knots, etc.). Then they are processed into shavings, pressed, and used to make furniture. Products made of such material are popular, quite durable and high-quality.

Depending on the type of construction, you can choose any type of bed that suits your own taste and the size of the room.

The standard arrangement of zones is the presence of a sleeping area on the 2nd floor, with a wardrobe and a work area underneath.
There is a simplified version without a desk. Under the bed there is a wardrobe and several additional drawers for linen, as well as a ladder.
You can also choose a bed with two sleeping places. In this version, the desk will also be missing.
Another type of design with a horizontal cabinet and linen drawers built under the stairs. In this case, most likely, the desk will be missing.

If the furniture is supposed to be placed in a teenager's room, the standard option is best. If it is designed for two children, a loft bed with a wardrobe and two sleeping places will be quite comfortable.

Selection criteria

To ensure that the bed lasts a long time, is well suited to the child's age and harmonizes with the room's design, approach its selection seriously. To simplify the task, rely on the following criteria:

Material

This is the main criterion that you need to pay attention to. High-quality raw materials for the base are the key to the quality of the product. We recommend choosing a bed made of natural wood. We also suggest considering the qualities of other raw materials.

Material	Pros	Cons
Natural wood	Durability, beauty, eco-friendliness	High cost
MDF	Easy to process, good decorative qualities, environmentally friendly material	High cost, quite soft
chipboard	Cheap, good technical characteristics, hardness	Use of formaldehyde resins in the manufacturing process (not eco-friendly)
Chipboard	It has the same characteristics as chipboard, but has a better appearance due to lamination.	It is not environmentally friendly

Dimensions

Before buying a bed, determine where it will stand. Measure the space allocated for the furniture. Keep in mind that it should not cover heating devices, preventing the free circulation of warm air. Also determine the position of the bed relative to the window (if the design will be with a table), so that daylight falls on the work surface during work.

Consider the height and weight of the child to correctly calculate the size of the sleeping area. Determine how big a wardrobe and table the child needs (you can allocate more space for one by cutting the other).

Based on these calculations, you will be able to choose a bed whose dimensions will fit harmoniously into the room.

Type of construction

According to this point, your choice will depend on what function the structure will perform. If you want to create a comfortable area for your child to work and rest, the option with a computer desk and a sleeping place on the second floor will be the most suitable.

If you plan to replace furniture in a bedroom for two children, it is better to choose a system with two sleeping places and additional drawers.

Also, the selected type of construction depends on where it will be located. You can choose an angular type of placement of the system components, or give preference to a standard arrangement.

We offer any modification of existing models: with a pull-out table, two cabinets, additional drawers or bedside tables, with a sofa on the first floor and many other ideas to suit your taste. The choice depends on the functionality of the product.

Price

Another important factor is the price of the product. This criterion is directly proportional to the quality. The better the material and quality of the product, the higher the price. You can choose a bed priced from 10 thousand rubles. However, the price of higher quality furniture will be higher. The optimal choice varies between 13-17 thousand rubles. In this case, the most acceptable ratio of price and quality of the product is observed.

For the rest (various modifications, additional parameters, original design, etc.), rely on your own budget. This factor is important, but not decisive. Do not chase the cheapness of the product, sacrificing quality. And, on the other hand, remember: not every expensive product can be of better quality.
