Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds let siblings share a room without compromising their personal space and are a great option for sleepovers. They can also have ladders or stairs that can be used to reach the top bunk, and are constructed of wood and metal. Size When shopping for a bunk bed make sure you take precise measurements and compare them to your room dimensions. You'll need to ensure that there's plenty of space for kids to climb up and down the ladder (or stairs in the case of bunks that have stairs) and to maneuver around the loft without crashing into furniture or walls. You should also be aware of the height of the bunk bed as well as headroom in relation to your child's sitting and standing height. You might need to purchase a smaller bunk to fit children who are younger, while older children may prefer a taller setup. Bunk beds for kids are available in two configurations twin-overtwin and full-overfull. Both are excellent options for accommodating multiple children in one room. Some bunks come with a trundle bed to accommodate more guests during sleepovers. If your kids are young, consider a low-level bunk bed that's bottom bunk isn't more than 50 inches above the floor. This will keep children from falling out of bed, which can be a risk to their safety. Another feature to consider is the amount of space between the top bunk and the guardrails. The CPSC recommends the top bunk's mattress to be no higher than 5 inches higher than the guardrail. This will prevent your children from rolling out of mattress during the night and falling into guardrails, which can cause injuries or falls. The most suitable bunk beds for children are made of sturdy materials and are in compliance with CPSC safety standards, according to Ganjian. You should also examine the construction of each bed to ensure that it's made of high-quality wood and isn't overly fragile or unstable. Some of the most expensive bunk beds for kids also have mortise-and-tenon joinery, and are Greenguard Gold Certified for meeting strict standards for chemical emissions. If you're decorating a guest bedroom, outfitting your home for vacation or bunking your own kids, this triple bunk from Pottery Barn is a smart option. It's easy to assemble with tools included and converts into three beds that stand on their own if your kids outgrow the arrangement. It comes in a soothing neutral finish that blends into both vibrant and muted colors, such as the weathered navy and brushed gray. Safety Bunk beds are a fun and exciting feature for any child's bedroom, but they can be dangerous when not properly assembled or used. Bunk bed injuries can occur to children of any age but they are more common in children under six years old. It is important to follow the manufacturer's assembly instructions and safety instructions, 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 light fixtures. It is recommended to check the bed for signs of wear and make repairs if necessary. The height of the top bunk should be restricted to four feet. There should be a guardrail on both sides of the bed. The space between guardrails shouldn't be wider than 3 ½ inch to avoid death by suffocation. This will also ensure that your child isn't able to slide under the guardrail while sleeping. The mattress on the bottom should be supported by wires or slats that are directly beneath the bunk. They should be fastened securely at both ends to avoid a gap where your child may fall through. The ladders and stairs must be securely attached to the bunk beds and offer a safe way to climb to the top level. Be sure that the ladder isn't in close proximity to any dangers and that your kids are aware that they only need it to get into the bed. Avoid rough play on the bunks, because it could affect their stability. There isn't a specific age at which children are too old for bunk beds, but many experts recommend that children should not sleep in the top bunk until they are at minimum six years old and mature enough to stay still when sleeping. If you are unsure about your child's ability to climb onto the top bunk, think about a twin/full-size bunk instead. Style Bunk beds allow kids to share a room and remain close to their siblings, while also maximizing space. They are also a great way to foster teamwork among younger children and can make sleepovers more enjoyable for everyone involved. helpful hints that include desks are perfect for teenagers and older children because they incorporate the study and sleeping furniture into one. Bunks with stairs or ladders can make climbing up to the top of the bed more secure and easy for children of all age groups. You can personalize your bed by selecting the dimensions, style and other features that you prefer. The kind of mattress you choose will determine the comfort level of your bunk bed. At Slumberland we have an array of premium mattresses for all kinds of bunk beds. We offer hybrid, innerspring memory foam, and other types of mattresses in all sizes. Other design features to think about include stairs and ladders as well as safety rails and extra storage options. Some bunk beds come with standard ladders that attach to the sides of the frame, while others feature a set stairs that are integrated into the frame. Staircases provide a more modern and sleek design and are safer than standard ladders. You can also personalize the bunks by selecting the color scheme that best matches your children's personalities or the style of the rest of the room. Some bunk beds have a white finish, while others are available in natural or dark cherry wood finishes. If you're buying a wooden bed you can paint it to match the colors of your kids' rooms or stain it to maintain a natural appearance. You can add your own personal accent to your bunk beds by purchasing decorative lighting that complements the theme or style. For instance, recessed lights can be mounted in the ceiling to provide ample lighting without occupying floor space. If you have a wooden or metal bunk bed, you might be able to add swag lights that hang from the ceiling. They offer soft lighting. Storage The majority of bunk beds are distinguished by their ability to increase the space in the bedroom of your child. This is achieved by stacking two mattresses on top of one other. The design of these beds often allows for the beds to remain stacked while your kids get older and tweens, or they can be separated into individual free-standing bed frames, which is ideal for families who might move frequently or have a smaller home. 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). They can be constructed with different heights, with some including a step ladder that sits at an angle for easier climbing, or a staircase that has built-in drawers that allow for storage that is out of sight. When you are choosing a bunk bed, it is important to also consider its construction. Some models are made from a mix of medium-density fibreboard and kiln dried hardwood. The former is more affordable and can have a more modern look however, the latter can be more durable and robust. Bunks with mattresses that trundle are ideal for sleepovers. Certain models allow for the addition of an additional trundle in an alternative configuration. These beds can accommodate up to three adults or children. This is ideal for bedrooms that share space, which creates family bonds and friendships. The last thing to think about when deciding on a bunk bed is its color and style that you choose, with bright whites, neutral grays and muted clay options offering a range of aesthetic choices that can play nicely with any bedroom decor. A crisp white bunk is a good choice for colorful, cottage or coastal bedrooms. A neutral gray or clay finish will go with any palette as your child develops. While the price of a bunk bed can differ, the majority of models have a relatively reasonable price tag that's comparable to other similar kinds of furniture for bedrooms. A few bunk beds that are priced lower are made with cheaper materials, however many of our top-rated models are sturdy enough to last beyond childhood.
