When to choose a loft bed?

The sleeping place is located higher, and underneath you can plan a desk, shelf, chest of drawers, modular boxes or a corner for rest. In the model wooden mezzanine bed N01 the standard ground clearance is 142 cm, and the higher variant allows you to choose a ground clearance from 143 to 170 cm.

The total height of this type of mezzanine is 195 cm with standard clearance, and in the increased version from 196 to 223 cm. This is important when assessing the height of the room and the comfort of using the space under the bed.

Room space comparison

In terms of saving space, the mezzanine wins. It uses height, not just floor space. This makes it easier to fit a study zone, storage and a free place to play in a small room. In practice, the mezzanine acts as a way to organize the functions of the room vertically.

A single bed takes up more floor space, but gives you more space around the sleeping area. They can be placed against the wall, next to the window or in a arrangement with a chest of drawers and a shelf. In a larger room, this simplicity can be an advantage because the arrangement does not have to be subordinated to one tall structure.

Railings, mattress and entrance

In the mezzanine, the actual height of protection above the mattress is important. In the N01 and N03 models, the railing is 47 cm high from the mattress frame, and the recommended mattress thickness is 10-22 cm. This means that the choice of mattress should not be accidental: too high a mattress reduces the amount of barrier space above the sleeping surface.

The difference can also be seen in the entrance. The N01 model has a vertical ladder on the short side, integrated with the side of the bed. The N03 model has a sloping ladder on the long side. In both cases, the ladder can be mounted on the left or right side when folding the bed.

Child safety and age

When considering a mezzanine, you need to pay attention to the child's age, the height of the railings, the stability of the structure and a comfortable entrance. Nizio mezzanine models have a recommended age for the upper level user from 6 years, a load capacity of 200 kg and a kit for attaching the bed to the wall included. These are specifics that are worth considering before purchasing.

A single bed is a simpler solution for younger children, children who often get up at night or those who prefer to sleep closer to the floor. If you are planning your first larger bed after a cot, a classic model may be a quieter transitional stage. In this case, it is also worth comparing the entire collection Nizio children's beds.
