Nursery beds are designed for ages up to 3 years and have a single, standard sleeping area size – 120*60 centimeters.

They are convenient for folding bedding and baby diapers.

When the child grows up, the playpen is disassembled, a chest of drawers with drawers is installed on the floor, and the size of the sleeping place increases - 180*60 cm.

Bed with drawers
A bed with drawers is a very practical option for many. Although sofas are popular now, many people value the ability to sleep on a bed. It really is often more comfortable than on the sofa. In addition, experts advise that the place where we sleep should be reserved exclusively for this purpose. Why? Because our brain develops certain associations, and if it associates the bed exclusively with sleep, then the sleep will be of better quality. We usually use the sofa for different purposes; it is convenient to read, watch TV, or sit with a laptop or tablet, so we are unlikely to associate it with sleep. And the bed, often not convenient for other purposes, is more conducive to only sleeping on it. And if it is also a bed with drawers, then bed linen and other things will fit there.
