Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds for children are a great way to allow siblings to share a room without compromising their personal space. They can also be a great option when hosting sleepovers. Depending on the model that you choose, these beds may have stairs or ladders to access the top bunk and they can be constructed from a variety of materials including metal and wood. Size When looking for kids bunk bed , make sure you take precise measurements and compare them to your room dimensions. You'll need to ensure there's enough room for your children to climb the stairs or ladder (if they're included) and move around the loft without bumping into furniture or walls. It's also important to take into consideration the bed's height and headroom in relation to your kids' standing and sitting height. It may be necessary to purchase an earlier-sized bunk to accommodate younger children, while older kids may prefer a higher setup. Bunk beds kids typically come in two configurations including twin-overtwin and full-overfull. Both are excellent choices for accommodating multiple children in one room. Some bunks include an trundle bed that can accommodate more guests during sleepovers. If your kids are still young, look for a bunk that is low to ensure that the bunk at the bottom is not more than 50 inches away from the ground. This will prevent your children from falling out of their beds, which is a safety hazard. The distance between the top bunk and guardrails is another important aspect to be considered. The CPSC recommends that the height of the top bunk mattress to be no higher than 5 inches above guardrail. This will stop your children from rolling out of their bed in the middle of the night and into the guardrails, which could lead to accidents or entrapment. Ganjian says that the most reliable bunk beds are made of solid materials and meet CPSC safety requirements. Check the construction of each bunk bed to make sure it's constructed with high-quality wood, and isn't too fragile or unstable. Some of the top bunk beds for kids have mortise and tenon joinery and are Greenguard Gold Certified.

Safety A bunk bed is an exciting and enjoyable feature for a child's bedroom However, it can also be dangerous if it isn't properly constructed or used. Bunk bed injuries can happen to children of all ages, but they are most frequent in children younger than six years old. It is essential to follow the manufacturer's assembly and safety guidelines, use the correct size mattress and position the bunk bed in a way that it does not interfere with windows or heaters, as well as hanging lighting fixtures. It is recommended to check the bed for signs of wear and make repairs when needed. The height of the top bunk should be kept to a maximum of 4 feet. There should also be guardrails at the two ends of the bed. The space between the guardrails shouldn't be wider than 3 ½ inches to avoid suffocation and ensure that your child can't roll under the guardrail while sleeping. The mattress on the bottom should be supported by slats or wires that are placed directly under the bunk. They should be fastened with a strong bolt at both ends to avoid gaps that your child might fall through. The ladders or stairs must be affixed to the bunk bed. They must be secure, and offer a safe way of climbing up to the higher level. Make sure the ladder is not near any dangers and that your children know that they should use it solely to climb into bed, not to be used as a play area. Avoid rough play on the bunks because it could affect their stability. It isn't possible to determine a specific age for children to be in bunk beds. However, many experts recommend that children not sleep on the top bunk until they're at least six years of age and have the maturity to remain still while sleeping. If you aren't sure about your child's ability to climb up the top bunk, think about an adult-sized or twin bunk. Style Bunk beds let kids share a space and remain close to their siblings while maximizing space. They're also a great way to encourage teamwork in younger children and can make sleepovers more enjoyable for everyone involved. Bunks with desks are great for teenagers and older children because they incorporate sleeping and studying furniture into one. Bunks that have ladders or stairs can make climbing up to the top bed more secure and easy for kids of all different ages. You can personalize your bed by choosing the size, style and other features that you prefer. The type of mattress that you select will determine the comfort of your bunk bed. At Slumberland, we offer an extensive selection of high-quality mattresses for all kinds of bunk beds. We have innerspring, memory foam, and hybrid-type mattresses in all sizes, so you can find the ideal fit for your children's or teens bunks. Stairs and ladders are another style features that you should be thinking about, along with safety rails and additional storage. Some bunk beds feature ladders that connect to the sides, whereas others have stairs built right into the frame. Staircases are a better option for older children and teenagers because they are more secure than standard ladders and have a sleek, modern look. You can also customize your bunk beds by choosing a color scheme that matches the personality of your children or the style of your rest room. Some bunk beds are finished in white, while others are finished in natural or dark cherry wood. If you're purchasing a wooden bed you can paint it to be in line with the color scheme of your kids' rooms or stain it for a natural look. To add a personal touch to your bunks, you can get decorative lighting to complement the theme or design of the room. For instance, recessed lighting can be hung from the ceiling to give ample lighting without taking up floor space. If you're using a steel or wood bunk bed, you could also consider adding swag lighting, which hangs from the ceiling and offers an edgier light. Storage The defining feature of most bunk beds is their ability to increase the space in your children's bedroom by stacking two beds one on top of the other. They can be stacked for as long as your children are young, or until they reach tweenhood, or they can be separated to create individual bed frames. This is perfect for families that move frequently or have a small house. These beds come in a variety of configurations, including traditional twin over twin or twin over full and queen over queen options available (like the Crate and Barrel Babyletto TipToe White and Washed Natural Wood Bunk Bed). Some can be configured in different heights, and some even include a step-ladder that is angled for easier climbing. Another thing to take into consideration when selecting a bunk bed is the design, with some models combining medium-density fiberboard and kiln-dried hardwood. The former is less expensive and has modern appearance however the latter may be more durable and strong. Bunks with trundle beds can be an excellent option for sleepovers, and some come with the option of adding an additional trundle bed in another configuration. These beds can accommodate up to three adults or children. This is ideal for a shared bedroom that encourages family bonds and fosters friendships. The color of a bunk bed and its style are the final things to consider. Crisp whites, neutral grays, and subtle finishes in clay can be combined with any decor for bedrooms. A clean white bunk bed is an excellent pick for cottage, coastal or bright bedrooms, while a neutral gray or clay option will blend seamlessly with the various palettes as your child matures and develops into a person. While the cost of a bunk bed will vary, most models feature a relatively reasonable price tag which is comparable to other types of bedroom furniture. Some of the cheaper models are made from cheaper materials, while many of our top-rated bunk beds are built to last enough to last throughout the years of childhood and beyond.
