Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds let siblings share a space without compromising their personal space and can be ideal for sleepovers. Based on the model you choose, these beds may include ladders or stairs to access the top bunk. Additionally, they can be made using a variety of materials including metal and wood. Size When shopping for a bunk bed, be sure to take precise measurements and compare them with your room dimensions. You'll need to make sure there's enough space for your kids to climb the ladder or stairs (if they're part of the set) and move around the loft without hitting furniture or walls. You should also be aware of the size of the bunk bed as well as headroom in relation to your child's standing and sitting height. You might need to purchase an earlier-sized bunk to accommodate smaller children, whereas older children may prefer a higher-upset. Bunk beds for children are available in two styles twin-overtwin and full-overfull. Both are great to accommodate multiple children in a room. Some bunks also include an trundle bed that can accommodate more guests during sleepovers. If your children are young, you should look for a bunk that is low with a bottom bunk that is less than 50 inches away from the ground. This will keep children from falling out of bed, which can be a risk to their safety. The distance between the top bunk and the guardrails is another crucial aspect to take into consideration. The CPSC recommends that the top bunk's mattress to be no higher than 5 inches over the guardrail. This will prevent your children from rolling out of bed in the middle night and falling into the guardrails. This could lead to entrapment, or even a fall. Ganjian says that the best bunk beds are made with solid materials and comply with CPSC safety standards. It is also important to check out the design of each bed to ensure that it's made of high-quality wood and isn't overly fragile or unstable. Some of the more expensive bunk beds for kids have mortise and tenon joinery, and are Greenguard Gold Certified.

It comes in a neutral finish that can be paired with muted or vibrant colors, such as brushed gray or weathered blue. Safety Bunk beds can be a fun and exciting addition to any child's bedroom however, they can be dangerous if they are not correctly assembled or used. Bunk bed-related injuries can occur in children of all ages however, they are most common to kids under six. It is essential to follow the manufacturer's assembly and safety guidelines, use the correct mattress size and position the bunk bed in a way that it does not block windows or heaters, as well as hanging lighting fixtures. It is recommended to check the bed for wear and make repairs when needed. The height of the top bunk should be restricted to 4 feet. Also, 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 on the bottom should be supported by slats or wires that are placed directly under the bunk and are fastened with a strong bolt at both ends to prevent the possibility of a gap that your child could fall through. Ladders or stairs should be affixed to the bunk bed and secured and offer a safe way of climbing up to the higher level. Make sure that the ladder isn't near any dangers and that your children are aware that they can use it solely to climb into bed, not as an activity area. Also, discourage rough playing on the bunks as this could cause damage to the stability of the structure. It isn't possible to establish a minimum age for children to be in bunk beds. However, a lot of experts recommend that children not sleep on the top bunk until at least six years old age and are old enough to remain still while sleeping. If you are unsure of your child's ability to climb on the top bunk, you could consider a full-size or twin bunk instead. Style Bunk beds allow kids to share a room and stay close to their peers while making the most of space. They are also an enjoyable way to host sleepovers that everyone can enjoy. Bunks with desks are ideal for teens and older children because they combine sleep and study furniture in one. Bunks with stairs or ladders allow climbing up to the top of the bed more secure and easy for children of all different ages. You can customize your bunk bed by choosing the dimensions, style, and other features you'd like. The type of mattress that you select will determine the comfort of your bunk bed.

Stairs and ladders are another style features that you should be thinking about, along with safety rails and storage. Some bunk beds feature ladders that are attached to the sides, while others have stairs built into the frame. Staircases provide a more contemporary and sleek appearance and are more secure than traditional ladders. You can also customize your bunk beds by selecting the color scheme that best matches the character of your children or the style of your rest room. Some bunk beds come with white finishes, whereas others are available in dark cherry or natural wood finishes. If you're purchasing an wooden bed you can paint it to match the colors of the room your children are in or stain it for an authentic look. You can add your own personal accent to your bunk beds by purchasing decorative lighting that matches the theme or design. For instance, recessed lighting can be installed in the ceiling to provide ample lighting without taking up floor space. If you're using a steel or wood bunk bed, you can also add swag lighting hanging from the ceiling and provides a softer light. Storage The majority of bunk beds are distinguished by their capacity to expand the space available in the bedroom of your child. This is accomplished by putting two mattresses on top of each other. These beds can be stacked for the duration of time your children are young until they reach tweenhood or they can be separated to make individual bed frames. This is a great option for families that move frequently or have a small house. These bunk beds are versatile and come in a variety of configurations, with traditional twin over twin or twin over full and queen over queen options available (like the Crate and Barrel Babyletto TipToe White & Washed Natural Wood Bunk Bed). They can be set up with different heights, and some even come with a step-ladder tilted to allow for easier climbing. Another thing to take into consideration when choosing a bunk bed is the structure, with certain models featuring a combination of medium-density fiberboard as well as kiln-dried wood. The former is cheaper and can have modern appearance however the latter may be more durable and robust. Bunks that have trundle mattresses are a great option for sleepovers. Certain models allow you to add another trundle with an alternative configuration. They can easily accommodate three children or adults, which can be ideal for a shared room that encourages family bonding while maximizing the use of space. The color and design are the two most important aspects to take into consideration. Crisp whites, neutral greys, and muted clay finishes are all a great match for any bedroom decor. A clean white bunk bed is a great pick for cottage, coastal or bright bedrooms, while a neutral gray or clay option can be seamlessly incorporated into various colors as your child matures and matures into a mature person. Although bunk beds can vary in cost, they are typically priced at a price that is comparable to other kinds of furniture for bedrooms.
