Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds kids let siblings share a room without compromising their personal space and can be ideal for sleepovers. Depending on the model you select, these beds could have stairs or ladders that access the top bunk, and they can be made using a variety of materials including metal and wood. Size When you are looking for a bunk bed, be sure to take precise measurements and compare them with the dimensions of your room. It is important to ensure that there's enough room for your children to climb up the ladder or steps (if they're part of the set) and move around the loft without bumping into furniture or walls. It is also important to consider the size of the bunk bed and headroom in relation to your child's sitting and standing height. It is possible to purchase a bunk bed that is shorter to accommodate younger kids while older kids may prefer a higher setup. Bunk beds for kids usually come in two styles that are twin-over-twin or full-over-full. Both are great options to accommodate multiple children in one room. Some bunks include an trundle that can accommodate additional guests during sleepovers. If your children are young, consider a low-level bunk bed, so that the bottom bunk does not exceed 50 inches above the floor. This will prevent your children from falling out of their beds, which can be an accident hazard. Another aspect to consider is the clearance between the top bunk and the guardrails. The CPSC recommends that the the mattress on top should not be greater than 5 inches over the guardrail. This will stop your kids from rolling out of their mattress in the middle of the night and crashing into the guardrails, which can cause accidents or entrapment. Ganjian says that the top bunk beds are constructed from solid materials, and they comply with CPSC safety requirements. You'll also want to examine the construction of each bed to ensure it's made from quality woods and isn't flimsy or unstable. Some of the more expensive bunk beds for kids also have mortise and tenon joinery, and are Greenguard Gold Certified. The triple bunk bed from Pottery Barn will work well as a guest bedroom, a vacation home, or even to sleep your kids. It's easy to assemble with the included tools, and it can be converted into three beds that stand on their own when your children grow out of the arrangement. It is available in a neutral finish that can be matched with both vibrant and muted colors, such as weathered blue or brushed gray. Safety A bunk bed is an exciting and enjoyable addition to a child's room, but it can be a risk if 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 important to follow the manufacturer's assembly and safety guidelines, use the correct mattress size and position the bed in a way that it does not interfere with windows or heaters. It is also advisable to avoid hanging lights. It is also recommended to regularly inspect the bunk bed for signs of wear and tear and then make repairs as required. The height of the top bunk should be limited to four feet. There should be a guardrail on both sides of the bed. The space between guardrails should not be greater than 3 ½ inches to avoid suffocation. This will also ensure that your child doesn't slide under the guardrail while sleeping. The mattress on the bottom should be held up with wires or slats extending directly beneath the bunk. They should also be secured at both ends. This will prevent your child from falling through the gap. The ladders or stairs must be attached to the bunk bed. They should be secured and provide a safe method of climbing to the higher level. Make sure the ladder is not near any hazards and that your children are aware to use it only to climb into bed, not as an area for play. Also, you should avoid rough play on the bunks since this could cause damage to the stability of the structure. It isn't possible to determine the age for children to be in bunk beds. However, a lot of experts suggest that children do not sleep on the top bunk until at least six years of age and are mature enough to be able to stay still during sleep. If you are unsure about your child's readiness to climb onto the top bunk, you could consider a full-size or twin bunk instead. Style Bunk beds are a great way for children to share space with their siblings and maximize their room. They're also a great way to inspire teamwork in younger children and make sleepovers more fun for everyone involved. Bunks with desks are great for teens and older children because they can combine sleep and study furniture in one. Bunks with stairs or ladders can make climbing up to the top bed safer and easier for children of all ages. You can customize your bed by choosing the size, style and other features that you would like to have. The kind of mattress you select will determine the comfort of your bunk bed. Slumberland provides a variety of mattresses of the highest quality for all types bunk beds. We have innerspring, memory foam and hybrid-type mattresses of all sizes, so you can find the perfect mattress for your kids' or teenagers' bunks. The ladders and stairs are two other options to consider, as well as safety rails and extra storage. Some bunk beds feature standard ladders that attach to the sides of the frame, while others have a set of stairs that are integrated into the frame. Staircases offer a more modern and sleek design and are safer than standard ladders. You can also personalize the bunks by choosing an appropriate color scheme to match your children's personalities or the style of the other rooms. Some bunk beds are painted in white, while others come in dark cherry wood or natural wood. If you're purchasing a wooden bunk bed, you can paint it to match your children' rooms or choose stain to maintain the natural appearance. You can add a personal design to your bunk beds by investing in decorative lighting that matches the theme or style. For instance, recessed lights can be mounted in the ceiling to give ample light without occupying floor space. If you have a metal or wooden bunk bed, you may also want to add swag lights that hang from the ceiling. They offer soft lighting. Storage The majority of bunk beds are distinguished by their capacity to expand the amount of 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 as your kids grow into teens and tweens, or they can be separated into individual free-standing beds, which is perfect for families who may move often or have smaller homes. These bunk beds are available in a variety of configurations. They include the standard twin over twin full over twin, and queen over queen (like Crate & Barrrel Babyletto TipToe White and Waxed Natural Wood Bunk Bed). Some can be configured in different heights, and some include a step-ladder that is inclined to make it easier to climb. Another thing to consider when choosing a bunk bed is the design, with some models that combine medium-density fiberboard as well as kiln-dried wood. While the former is less expensive and can offer more modern appearance while the latter is sturdier and more durable. Bunks with trundle beds are an excellent option for sleepovers, and some come with the option of adding an additional trundle bed in a second configuration. These beds can accommodate up to three adults or children. This is ideal for a shared bedroom that helps strengthen family bonds and encourages friendships. The last element to consider when choosing a bunk bed is its color and style with clean whites, neutral grays and muted clay finishes providing various aesthetic options that are a good match for any decor for bedrooms. A white, crisp bunk is a good choice for colorful, cottage or coastal bedrooms. A neutral gray or clay finish will work with any color scheme as your child gets older. While the price of a bunk bed may differ, the majority of models have a relatively reasonable price tag that is comparable to other kinds of furniture for bedrooms. A few bunk beds that are priced lower are made with cheaper materials, but the majority of our top-rated models are sturdy enough to endure through childhood and beyond.
