Minuses

Bed, located in a place invisible to prying eyes under the ceiling in a small apartment

The loft bed is fashionable, interesting and very comfortable, but not safe. A very important disadvantage of such a bed is the risk of falling. It is not recommended to buy such a bed:

• suffering from sleepwalking;
• restlessly sleeping and squirming;
• elderly people;
• children under 6 years old.

In order to avoid annoying cases, it is necessary:

• provide good lighting near the bed, which could be included both from below and above;
• follow the recommendations on the height of the mattress and ceiling;
• to exclude the possibility of getting tangled in wires, bedding and decor elements, that is, to free up the staircase space.

If all safety requirements are met, then do not worry - a couple of weeks and you get used to using the loft bed.
