In addition, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on purchasing such furniture - using a drawing and instructions, you can make such a design yourself.
DIY car bed: drawing with dimensions
Bed for boys
Manufacturers are trying to saturate the range of such furniture as wide and varied as possible.
Certain models of car beds are in greatest demand:
- Racing cars, fire or police cars and jeeps.
- All of them have bright colors (especially for models with a racing theme), and patrol and fire trucks are equipped with flashing lights for greater authenticity.
- The beds have smoothed corners and special fences, so they are quite suitable for children.
Traditional (classic) bed
The simplest model is four legs or more, a frame with slats or a solid rigid base and a mattress. Such beds differ in the presence or absence of a headboard and footboard, their height, the height of the legs and the overall dimensions of the bed. This model is ideal for installation in the bedroom. The under-bed space can be used to store a wide variety of things.
Girl's bed
For girls, given the specifics of the product, the choice is slightly smaller - a girl is unlikely to like a jeep or truck bed; here it is better to choose a model in the form of a convertible or a luxurious limousine.
And if it is a fabulous carriage with a canopy, a sea of delight is guaranteed. Beds for girls tend to have the brightest colors.
But do not forget that this is primarily furniture for sleeping, which means it is advisable to choose calm shades.
Sofa bed
A bed whose design features make it easy to transform it into a sofa during the day. Allows you to comfortably receive guests. Suitable for comfortable reception of guests.
Fits harmoniously into a multifunctional room, which is both a bedroom (at night) and a living room (during the day). There is usually a box under the mattress for storing bed linen.
Selection rules
When buying a bed for a nursery, many parents first of all pay attention to the color and external design of the product, which is understandable: the furniture must fit into the overall interior of the room.
- Do not forget that first of all it is a bed, and only then – a piece of furniture.
- Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the size - the sleeping area should be spacious and comfortable.
- For example, you can look at various photos of a children's car bed on the Internet.
You need to approach the choice of a mattress especially carefully; if possible, it is best to purchase an orthopedic model: it, of course, costs more, but the health of the child is more important than money.
To save space, car-shaped cribs with built-in sections and cabinets designed for storing bedding or toys are very convenient. It is necessary to pay attention to the safety of the child, especially if he is small: the most smooth corners and the presence of side walls are mandatory.

Material
The most popular materials for the production of beds are:
- Chipboard - can be with photo printing or with enamel coating in various colors;
- Laminated chipboard is a material with increased strength;
- MDF – resistant to various types of mechanical damage:
- plastic is a universal, durable material suitable for making any furniture.
There are beds made from natural wood, but they are quite expensive, so they are not very widely represented in furniture showrooms. On the other hand, if you have the skills and equipment to process wood and plywood, you can make a children's car bed with your own hands.
When purchasing a bed, you need to make sure that the seller has a certificate of conformity; this will help avoid possible adverse consequences.
What materials are they made of?
Most often, single-tier beds are made from laminated chipboard, covered with an original print on top. It is rare to find models with natural upholstery. Their price will differ dramatically and increase from other similar beds, and the durability of such material is a big question.
Beds with natural upholstery are expensive, but they also last longer than other models. Painted fiberboard can also serve as a base.
Multi-tier machines are most often made in a combined form - from wooden beams and laminated chipboard or fiberboard.
The main requirement is that the materials used must be safe, this is confirmed by the availability of appropriate quality documents.
In bunk beds, they must be equipped with upper tier limiters; they are often made of metal.
The most environmentally friendly material from which a bed can be made is solid wood, but its price is impressively high compared to the same options from other types.
If your child is prone to allergic reactions, it is better to opt for untreated wood, at least for the interior upholstery of the bed.
Beds made of natural wood are suitable for children with allergies.
Price
The price of a children's bed in the form of a car, like any other furniture, directly depends on several factors:
- These are the cost of the material and the complexity of the design.
- The more complex the design, the higher the labor intensity of production, and, accordingly, the higher the price.
In addition, the name of the manufacturer and the scale of the advertising campaign it conducts play an important role in pricing.
Flaws
There are not so many disadvantages, but their thoroughness should also be voiced by us.
- It is not always easy to fit such a bed into the overall interior of the room. An ordinary children's bedroom set, which is more functional in this regard, is one thing, and painted, colored, and sometimes even illuminated furniture is another.
- Often such products are made only to order. Not having simple template furniture parts in its form, the cost of a bed is often higher than for simple similar samples. Price is the main factor that can discourage you from making a good purchase.
- Children grow up quickly. They grow not only in height, but also mentally. Over time, a child may consider his sleeping place to be childish, which will cause him and you discomfort.
- If the mattress is somehow damaged and a new one is needed, the search for it may take a long time, since it is often made in the color of the car. How pleasant it will be to be tied to only one manufacturer from whom you bought the car is up to you to decide.
