Children's Sofa Beds
Children's sofa beds are a handy and fun way of saving space in a child's bedroom. They can be used as the child's main bed, or as a guest bed for when children have sleepovers with their friends.
For children's sofa beds, the range of styles available is quite large. As with all sofa beds there will be many that are in single coloured coverings like black or navy blue. However, as these sofa beds are for children there are loads of opportunities to buy bright, fun designs that will brighten up any bedroom.
Colours
The choice of colours for children's sofa beds is pretty extensive. As well as the standard colours already mentioned bright shades like pink, yellow, turquoise and green are also available.
With so many patterns such as striped and animal print sofa beds to choose from, it should be easy to find the one that suits most children's tastes.
Themes
Children's sofa beds also come in a range of themes and designs. Popular options include sofa beds themed around subjects like animals, fairies, monsters and Disney as well as other TV and film characters.
Children are the best judge of style he or she wants in their bedroom. Buying the wrong Disney character sofa bed, for example, could end in tears. It's important to find out what the child wants before buying the sofa bed.
Seating options
Most children's sofa beds will be two seaters, but three and four seater styles are also available. Corner sofa beds are a good space saving option. This style should usually be able to seat up to four children.
Types of children's sofa beds
The majority of children's sofa beds will be futon-style, which makes them very easy to set up. The bed simply flips out to sleep on and then folds back up when the child wants to use it as a sofa.
One benefit of having a sofa bed that's easy to set up and put back together is that it encourages the child to keep the bedding and bedroom tidy.
Cleaning and care
Most girls' and boys' sofa beds will have removable covers making the cleaning of them much easier to do. The materials used for covers will often be cotton or a cotton blend. Cleaning instructions will be on the covers and should be followed to keep the bedding looking and feeling good for as long as possible.
