Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds allow siblings to share a space without compromising their personal space and they can also be ideal for sleepovers. They can also have ladders or stairs that can be used to reach the top bunk, and are constructed of metal and wood. Size Take a look at the dimensions of your space with the measurements of a bunk bed prior to you buy it. It is important to ensure that there's enough room for your kids to climb up and down the ladder (or stairs if your bunk includes them) and to move around the loft without bumping into furniture or walls. It's also important to think about the bunk bed height and headroom in relation to your children's standing and sitting height. You may need to buy a shorter bunk to accommodate children who are younger, while older children might prefer a higher setup. Bunk beds for kids are available in two styles – twin-overtwin or full-overfull. Both are great options for accommodating multiple kids in one room. Some bunks have a trundle to accommodate additional guests during sleepovers. If your children are still young, choose a low-level bunk bed that's bottom bunk does not exceed 50 inches above the floor. This will prevent your children from falling out of their beds, which is a safety hazard. Another feature to consider is the amount of clearance between the top bunk and the guardrails. The CPSC recommends that the the top mattress not be greater than 5 inches over the guardrail. This will prevent your children from falling out of bed during the middle of the night and into the guardrails. This could result in entrapment, or even an accident. Ganjian says that the top bunk beds are constructed from solid materials and are in compliance with CPSC safety standards. Make sure to inspect the construction of each bunk bed to make sure it's constructed using high-quality wood, and isn't too fragile or unstable. Some of the top bunk beds for children have mortise and tenon joinery and are Greenguard Gold Certified.

It's simple to assemble and includes all the necessary tools. If your kids outgrow it, you can transform it into three freestanding beds. It is available in a neutral finish that can be paired with both vibrant and muted shades, such as brushed gray or weathered blue. Safety Bunk beds are a great and exciting accessory to any bedroom for children however, they can be dangerous if not properly built or used. Bunk bed injuries can happen to children of all ages, but they are most common among children younger than six years old. It is essential to follow the safety and assembly instructions as well as use the appropriate mattress size, and position the bunk beds so that they do not interfere with windows, heaters, or hanging lights. It's also a good idea to check the bunk bed for signs of wear and tear, and make repairs as needed. The height of the top bunk should be kept to a maximum of 4 feet. There should be guardrails on both sides of the bed. The space between guardrails should not be greater than 3 ½ inch to prevent death by suffocation. This will also ensure that your child cannot fall under the guardrail when sleeping. The mattress at the bottom must be supported by wires or slats running directly underneath the bunk. They must also be secured on both sides. This will stop your child from falling through gaps. Ladders or stairs should be attached to the bunk bed. They must be secure and should provide a safe means of climbing to the upper level. Make sure that the ladder isn't in the vicinity of any dangers and that your children are aware to use it only for climbing into bed, not as a play area. Avoid rough play on the bunks as this can compromise their stability. There isn't an age at when children are old enough for bunk beds, but many experts recommend that children shouldn't sleep on the top bunk until they're at minimum six years old and mature enough to stay still during sleep. If you're unsure whether your child is ready to climb up the top bunk, consider opting for a twin or full size bunk. Style Bunk beds are a great option for kids to share space with their siblings and make the most of their room. They are also a great way to encourage teamwork in younger children and make sleepovers more enjoyable for everyone involved. Bunks with desks are great for teenagers and older children because they can combine sleeping and study furniture into one. Bunks that have ladders or stairs will make climbing up to the top of the bed safer and easier for kids of all different ages. You can customize your bed by selecting the dimensions, style and other features you prefer. The kind of mattress you choose will determine the level of comfort your bunk bed will be. At Slumberland, we offer an extensive selection of high-quality mattresses for all types of bunk beds. We have innerspring, hybrid, memory foam and various other types of mattresses in all sizes. Stairs and ladders are another style features that you should consider, as well as safety rails and extra storage. Some bunk beds come with ladders that attach to the sides, whereas others incorporate stairs into the frame. Staircases are a better option for older children and teenagers because they are more secure than standard ladders, and provide an elegant, modern design. You can also personalize your bunk beds by choosing the color scheme that best matches the personality of your children or the decor of your rest room. Some bunk beds have white finishes, while others are available in natural or dark cherry wood finishes. If you're purchasing a wooden bunk bed, you can paint it to match your kids' rooms or choose a stain to keep the natural appearance. To add a personal design to your bunks, you can buy decorative lighting to complement the theme or style of the room. It is possible to install recessed lighting in the ceiling, for instance, to provide ample illumination without taking up the floor space. If you're using a steel or wood bunk bed you can also include swag lighting hanging from the ceiling and offers a softer light. Storage The main feature of bunk beds is their capacity to increase the space in your child's bedroom by stacking two beds one over the other. The design of these beds often allows for the beds to be stacked until your kids get older and tweens, or they can be separated into individual free-standing bed frames. This is ideal for families that may move often or have a smaller home. These versatile bunk beds also come in a wide range 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). They can be configured with different heights too and some include an incline ladder that is set at an angle for easier climbing or a staircase with built-in drawers that permit storage that is out of sight. When you are choosing a bunk bed, it is important to be aware of the structure. Certain models are constructed of a mixture of medium density fibreboard and kiln dried hardwood. While bunk bed for kids is cheaper and offers more modern appearance while the latter is more robust and durable. Bunks that have trundle beds are an excellent option for sleepovers. Some include the ability to add an additional trundle bed in a second configuration. These models can easily sleep three children or adults, which can be ideal for a space which encourages friendships and family bonding while maximising the utilization of space. The color and design are the two most important factors to consider. Crisp whites, neutral greys and muted clay finishes are all a great match for any decor for bedrooms. A white, crisp bunk bed is an excellent pick for cottage, coastal or vibrant bedrooms and a neutral gray or clay option can be seamlessly incorporated into a range of palettes as your child grows up and matures into a mature person. Although bunk beds can vary in price, they are usually priced at a price that is comparable to other types of furniture for bedrooms. A few of the less expensive models are constructed from less expensive materials, while many of our top-rated bunk beds are durable enough to last for the duration of childhood and beyond.
