SPEEDBOAT BED



The speedboat bed is a classic children's themed bed style that harkens back to themed beds of the past while creating a warm and inviting living space for children and toddlers transitioning from the comfort and safety of a crib or cot. Household furniture is an artistic expression both for the furniture maker and the user or occupant. A child's bedroom is often created to express the child's individual interests and make them feel like they have a private space of their own. Children must also be able to grow in their bedroom and their décor should represent their changing interests and attitudes. A toddler moving from a crib may already be growing too old for some of the common décor of a baby room. They are developing their own interests and ideas that they have become attached to and that bring them comfort and security. For parents, the transition from crib to bed means accepting the challenge of providing this security and helping their toddler sleep safely through the night. A speedboat bed is one of the themed options that can be a fun and calming influence on a young child's night's sleep.



A toddler's bedroom often becomes a place of punishment and tantrums. The bedroom cannot provide a calming effect on the child unless they begin to feel like it is a space that represents their favorite activities and themes. In this way, the speedboat bed can be a comforting oasis for a child to imagine, create, and most of all, relax. Themed beds come in many different varieties, from race cars, playgrounds, airplanes, and almost anything that can be formed into a bed. The speedboat bed is a classic theme that was popular in the art deco design of the 1930's and 40's. The speedboat bed is often made of teak, the same lightweight wood materials that go into actual boat making. This gives the bed an authentic appeal for the child and the parent. Many of today's parents and grandparents may have slept in a speedboat bed when they were children and this also helps with the decorative appeal of a house. Toddlers are often too young to express their own wishes for bedroom design, and therefore it is up to the parent to determine what style will not only suit their own tastes and sense of design, but also create an environment that will help a child transition from a baby into a young boy or girl.
