Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds let siblings share a space without compromising their individual space and are an ideal option for sleepovers. Based on the model you select, these beds could have stairs or ladders that access the top bunk. Additionally, they can be made using a variety of materials including wood and metal. Size When you are looking for a bunk bed take careful measurements and compare them to the dimensions of your room. It is important to ensure that there's enough room for your kids to climb up and down the ladder (or stairs if the bunk has stairs) and to maneuver around the loft without running into walls or furniture. It is also important to take into consideration the dimensions of the bunk bed as well as headroom in relation with your child's sitting and standing height. It may be necessary to purchase an earlier-sized bunk to accommodate children who are younger, while older children may prefer a higher-upset. Bunk beds for kids are available in two styles – twin-overtwin or full-overfull. Both are great options to accommodate multiple children in a room. Some bunks have the option of a trundle to allow for additional guests during sleepovers. If your children are young, you should choose a lower-level bunk bed, so that the lowest bunk is not more than 50 inches above the floor. This will keep children from falling out of bed, which could be a risk to their safety. Another aspect to consider is the amount of clearance 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 stop your kids from rolling out of their mattress during the night and into the guardrails, which could lead to accidents or entrapment. The best bunk beds for kids are made of sturdy materials and are in compliance with CPSC safety standards, according to Ganjian. You'll also want to check out the construction of each bed to ensure it's constructed from high-quality wood and isn't flimsy or unstable. Some of the more premium bunk beds for kids also come with mortise and tenon joinery. They are also Greenguard Gold Certified for meeting stringent chemical emissions standards. The triple bunk bed from Pottery Barn will work well as a guest bedroom or a home for vacation, or even to bunk your children. It is easy to assemble and includes all the necessary tools. If your children grow out of it, you can turn it into three beds that stand on their own. It's available in a soothing neutral finish that blends with the vibrant and muted colors, such as distressed navy and brushed gray. Safety A bunk bed is an exciting and fun feature for a child's bedroom, but it can be dangerous if it's not properly assembled or used. Bunk bed injuries can occur to children of all ages, but they are most frequent in children younger than six. It is important to follow the manufacturer's assembly and safety instructions, use the correct mattress size and position the bed in a way that it does not hinder windows or heaters. It is also advisable to avoid hanging light fixtures. It is also an excellent idea 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 4 feet. There should be guardrails at both ends of the bed. The space between guardrails shouldn't be greater than 3 ½ inch to avoid suffocation. This will also ensure that your child cannot fall under the guardrail when sleeping. The mattress at the bottom should be held up with wires or slats extending directly underneath the bunk. They should also be secured on both sides. This will stop your child from falling through a gap. Ladders or stairs should be affixed to the bunk bed. They must be secure and should provide a safe means of climbing to the upper level. Be sure that the ladder isn't located near any dangers and that your kids know they can only use it to climb into the bed. Also, you should avoid rough play on the bunks since this can compromise the structural stability. There isn't a specific age at that children are considered to be too old to be able to sleep in bunk beds, but many experts recommend that children shouldn't sleep on the top bunk until they are at least six years old and are able to sit still during sleep. If you're unsure if your child is ready to climb up the top bunk, consider opting for a twin/full size bunk. Style Bunk beds are a great way for children to share space with their siblings and maximize their room. They are also an enjoyable way to organize sleepovers for all involved. Bunks with desks are great for older children and teenagers since they incorporate sleep and study furniture in one. Bunks that have ladders or stairs allow climbing up to the top bed safer and easier for kids of all ages. You can customize your bunk bed by selecting the size, style and other features you want. The kind of mattress you choose will determine the level of comfort your bunk bed will feel. Slumberland offers a wide range of mattresses that are of the highest quality for all types bunk beds. We offer hybrid, innerspring, memory foam and many other kinds of mattresses of all sizes. Other features of the style to consider include stairs and ladders as well as safety rails and other storage options. Some bunk beds feature standard ladders that attach to the side of the frame, whereas others feature a set of stairs that are built into the frame. Staircases are a better option for teenagers and older children because they are more secure than standard ladders and offer an elegant, modern design. You can also personalize your bunk beds by choosing a color scheme that matches the personal style of your children, or the decor of the rest room. Some bunk beds are finished in white, while others come in dark cherry wood or natural wood. If you're buying a wooden bunk bed, you can paint it to match your kids rooms or pick stain to maintain the natural look. You can add your own personal touch to your bunk beds by investing in decorative lighting that complements the theme or style. You can mount recessed lights in the ceiling, for instance, to provide ample light without taking up floor space. If you have a metal or wooden bunk bed, you may consider adding swag lights that hang from the ceiling. They provide a soft lighting. Storage Most bunk beds are characterized by their capacity to increase the amount of space in the bedroom of your child. This is achieved by putting two mattresses on top of each other. They can be stacked the duration of time your children are young, or until they reach the age of tweenhood, or they can be divided to create separate bed frames. This is ideal for families that move frequently or have a small home. These bunk beds come in different configurations. They include the traditional twin over twin full over twin and queen over queen (like Crate & Barrrel Babyletto TipToe White & Waxed Natural Wood Bunk Bed). They can be configured with different heights and some include a step ladder that sits at an angle for easy climbing, or a staircase with built-in drawers to allow for storage out of sight. When choosing a bunk bed, you must be aware of the structure. Certain models are constructed of a combination medium-density fibreboard and kiln dried hardwood. While the former is cheaper and offers an updated look but the latter is sturdier and more durable. Bunks with trundle mattresses are great for sleepovers. Certain models allow for the addition of a second trundle in an alternative configuration. These beds can accommodate up to three children or adults. This is ideal for a bedroom shared by two people that helps strengthen family bonds and encourages friendships. The last element to consider when choosing 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 will complement any style of bedroom. A white, crisp bunk is a fantastic option for bright, cottage or coastal bedrooms. A neutral gray or a clay finish can work with any color scheme as your child develops. Although bunk beds can vary in price, they are usually priced at a reasonable level that is comparable to other kinds of bedroom furniture. A few bunk beds that are priced lower are made of less expensive materials, but the majority of our top-rated models are durable enough to last through childhood and beyond.
