We do the limiter for the children's bed with their own hands

Loft Bed with Protective Side Panel

Restless sleep is inherent in young children, they often spin and throw off the blanket, and fall cases are not uncommon. To avoid this, cots are sure to install the bumpers. But if the bed is purchased for growth, its design usually repeats an adult and there are no such barriers. The best solution is to install a temporary limiter, which will allow the child to sleep without the risk of falling, and is easily removed when he grows up.

Main varieties

Stationary side-restraints have curly cuts used by babies as a stop, allowing you to climb into the crib without the help of adults.

For very young children, a barrier that completely closes the side of the bed is recommended. In addition, it should be high enough so that the child could not roll over or climb over it. For grown up kids, a small limiter is enough, the goal of which is to prevent just an accidental fall in a dream. Such barriers usually cover only part of the bed length, often for the convenience of being lowered.

Removable child restraint for the bed is considered to be the ideal solution for arranging a bed

A common option is a removable stopper for a child, which is convenient to dismantle when it becomes unnecessary. Such a removable barrier will also be indispensable if there is a trip with small children - you can easily take it with you and install it on any nursery or adult bed.

The built-in side guard for the baby bed is purchased with the rest of the children's furniture.

Depending on the material of manufacture, there are several types of protective bumpers.

1. Soft - the simplest design will be a barrier of foam rubber or padding polyester rolled into tubes. The resulting rollers are fixed to each other, gaining the necessary height of the rim. For a more convenient care and aesthetic appearance, removable covers are sewn on such a stopper, which can be washed in a typewriter. Such structures are usually attached with velcro or strings to the bed mattress.

This will save material and time, but it doesn’t look too aesthetically pleasing and the bedboard will be damaged.

The second way is to make holders that will be attached to the bottom of the bed and closed on top with a mattress. This option is more convenient, but the possibility of its implementation depends on the design of the bed.

For work you will need the following materials and tools:

• durable wooden slats;
• saw-hacksaw;
• bolts or screws;
• screwdriver;
• tape measure or ruler;
• paper and pencil for drawing.

Tools for making a side with their own hands

To make a simple u-shaped rim (fastened with bolts), you need fairly short slats - the length of the barrier is 55 cm. The height of the limiter is optional. For a removable model, a height between 15-30 cm is sufficient.
