Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds for kids allow siblings to share a space without compromising their individual space and are ideal for sleepovers. They can be equipped with ladders or stairs that can be used to reach the top bunk, and are constructed of wood and metal. Size When looking for a bunk bed take careful measurements and compare them to your room dimensions. It is important to ensure that there's enough room for your children to climb up and down the ladder (or stairs if your bunk includes them) and to move around the loft without crashing into furniture or walls. Also, you should consider the dimensions of the bunk bed and headroom in relation to your child's standing and sitting height. You might need to purchase a smaller bunk to fit younger children, while older kids may prefer a higher-upset. Bunk beds for children are available in two configurations – twin-overtwin or full-overfull. Both are great for accommodating multiple kids in a room. Some bunks have the option of a trundle to allow for additional guests for sleepovers. If your children are young, you should look for an extremely low bunk, with a bottom bunk that is less than 50 inches off the ground. This will stop children from falling out of bed, which can be a safety risk. Another thing to take into consideration is the amount of space between the top bunk and the guardrails. The CPSC recommends that the the top mattress be no more than 5 inches above the guardrail. This will prevent your kids from rolling out of their mattress in the middle of the night and falling into guardrails, which could cause injuries or falls. The most suitable bunk beds for children are constructed with durable materials and are in compliance with CPSC safety standards, says Ganjian. Examine the construction of every bunk bed to make sure it's constructed with high-quality wood and isn't fragile or unstable. Some of the most expensive bunk beds for kids also have mortise and tenon joinery. They are also Greenguard Gold Certified for meeting the strictest standards for chemical emissions. If you're decorating an extra bedroom for guests, preparing an apartment for vacation, or bunking up your own children, this triple bunk from Pottery Barn is a smart option. It is easy to assemble and comes with all the required tools. If your children outgrow it, you can convert it into three beds that stand on their own. It comes in a neutral finish that can be paired with muted and vibrant colors, such as brushed gray or weathered blue. Safety A bunk bed can be an exciting and enjoyable addition to a child's room However, it can also be dangerous if it's not properly assembled or used. Bunk bed injuries can happen to children of all ages but they are more frequent in children younger than six years old. It is important to follow the manufacturer's assembly instructions and safety instructions, make sure you use the correct mattress size and place the bunk bed in a way that it does not block windows, heaters or hanging lights. It is also recommended to regularly check the bunk bed for any signs of wear and tear, and make repairs as needed. The height of the top bunk should be restricted to four feet. There are guardrails on both sides of the bed. The space between the guardrails shouldn't be wider than 3 ½ inches to prevent the risk of suffocation, and to ensure that your child can't fall under the guardrail when sleeping. The mattress at the bottom should be supported by wires or slats that run directly underneath the bunk and secured securely at both ends to prevent the possibility of a gap that your child could fall through. Ladders and stairs should be securely attached to the bunk beds and provide a safe way to climb to the top level. Make sure the ladder isn't located near any dangers and that your kids know they can only use it to climb into bed. Avoid rough play on the bunks since this could compromise their stability. It is impossible to determine a specific age for children to sleep in bunk beds. However, many experts suggest that children do not sleep on the top bunk until they're at least six years of age and have the maturity to sleep in a still position. If you are unsure of your child's readiness to climb onto the top bunk, you could consider a full-size or twin bunk instead. Style Bunk beds allow children to share a space and remain close to their peers while making the most of space. They're also a great method to inspire teamwork in younger children and can make sleepovers more enjoyable for everyone involved. Bunks with desks are ideal for teenagers and older children since they incorporate the study and sleep furniture in one. Bunks that have ladders or stairs can make climbing up to the top bed safer and easier for kids of all age groups. You can personalize your bed by choosing the dimensions, style and other features you want. The kind of mattress you select will determine the comfort level of your bunk bed. At Slumberland, we offer an extensive selection of high-quality mattresses for all types of bunk beds. We offer innerspring, hybrid, memory foam and many other kinds of mattresses of all sizes. Stairs and ladders are another style features that you should consider, as well as safety rails and additional storage. Some bunk beds have ladders that connect along the side, while others have stairs built right 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 choosing a color scheme that matches the character of your children or the decor of the bathroom. Some bunk beds are painted in white, while others are finished in dark cherry wood or natural wood. If you're buying an wooden bed you can paint it to be in line with the color scheme of your children's rooms or stain it for a natural appearance. To add a personal touch to your bunks, you can get decorative lighting that matches the theme or style of the room. For instance, recessed lighting can be hung from the ceiling to let in plenty of light without taking up floor space. If you're using a steel or wood bunk bed, you can also include swag lighting that hangs from the ceiling and offers soft lighting. Stores Most bunk beds are characterized by their capacity to expand the space available in your child's bedroom. This is achieved by stacking two mattresses on top of each other. These beds can be stacked for as long as your children are young until they reach tweenhood, or they can be divided to make individual bed frames. This is perfect for families that move often or have a small house. The bunk beds are available in a variety of configurations. They include the classic twin over twin, full over twin and queen over queen (like Crate & Barrrel Babyletto TipToe White and Waxed Natural Wood Bunk Bed). They can be set up with different heights as well and some include the step ladder which is placed at an angle to make it easier climbing, or a staircase with built-in drawers that permit out-of-sight storage. When selecting a bunk bed, you must also consider its construction. Certain models are constructed from a mix of medium-density fibreboard and kiln dried hardwood. While the former is more affordable and offers more modern appearance, the latter can be stronger and more durable. Bunks that have trundle beds are the ideal option for sleepovers, and some come with the option of adding an additional trundle bed to another configuration. These models can easily sleep three children or adults and are ideal for a room shared that fosters friendships and family bonds while making the best utilization of space. The final piece to consider when choosing a bunk bed is its color and style with clean whites, neutral grays, and muted clay options offering a range of aesthetic choices that can play nicely with any decor for bedrooms. A crisp white bunk bed is a great choice for coastal, cottage or bright bedrooms and a neutral gray or clay option will blend seamlessly with the various palettes as your child grows and evolves as a person. Although bunk beds vary in cost, they are typically priced at a reasonable level that is comparable to other kinds of furniture for bedrooms. The cheaper bunk beds are made of less expensive materials, however many of our top-rated models are sturdy enough to endure through childhood and beyond.
