Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds allow siblings to share a room without compromising their privacy and are a great option for sleepovers. Depending on the model you select, these beds could have stairs or ladders to access the top bunk, and they can be made using a variety of materials like wood and metal. Size Take a look at the dimensions of your room with the measurements of a bunk bed before you purchase it. You'll want to ensure there's plenty of space 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 furniture or walls. It's also important to think about the bunk bed height and headroom in relation to your kids standing and sitting height. kids bunk beds with storage may need to buy an earlier-sized bunk to accommodate children who are younger, while older kids may prefer a taller setup. Bunk beds for kids are available in two different configurations twin-overtwin and full-overfull. Both are great options to accommodate multiple children in a room. Some bunks have a trundle to accommodate guests who aren't sleeping. If your children are still young, consider a low-level bunk bed so that the bottom bunk isn't more than 50 inches above the floor. This will prevent your children from falling out of their beds, which can be a safety hazard. The distance between the top bunk and guardrails is another aspect to take into consideration. The CPSC recommends that the height of the top mattress not be more than 5 inches higher than the guardrail. This will help keep your kids from rolling out of mattress in the middle of the night and crashing into the guardrails, which could cause accidents or entrapment. Ganjian says that the most reliable bunk beds are made of sturdy materials, and they are in compliance with CPSC safety standards. You'll also want to examine the construction of each bed to ensure it's made from quality woods and isn't overly fragile or unstable. Some of the most expensive kids' bunks also feature mortise-and-tenon joinery, and are Greenguard Gold Certified for meeting strict standards for chemical emissions. The triple bunk bed from Pottery Barn will work well for a guest room, a vacation home, or even to bunk up your children. It's simple to assemble and comes with all the required tools. If your children grow out of it, you can convert it into three beds that stand on their own. It is available in a neutral finish that can be paired with muted and vibrant colors, like brushed gray or weathered blue. Safety A bunk bed is an exciting and enjoyable element to add to a child's space However, it can also be dangerous if it's not correctly assembled or used. Bunk bed-related injuries may occur at any age however they're most likely to happen to children under the age of six. It is essential to follow the manufacturer's assembly instructions and safety guidelines, use the correct mattress size and position the bed in a way that it does not block windows or heaters. It is also advisable to avoid hanging light fixtures. It is recommended also to regularly inspect the bed for wear and tear and make repairs if necessary. The height of the top bunk should be restricted to four feet, and there should be guardrails on both sides of the bed. The space between guardrails shouldn't be greater than 3 ½ inch to avoid death by suffocation. This will also ensure that your child cannot roll under the guardrail when sleeping. The bottom mattress should be supported by slats or wires that run directly underneath the bunk. They should be fastened with a strong bolt at both ends to prevent gaps that your child might fall through. The ladders or stairs must be affixed to the bunk bed. They must be secure, and offer a safe way of climbing up to the higher level. Be sure that the ladder isn't located near any dangers and that your children are aware that they should only use it to get into the bed. Avoid rough play on the bunks, since this could compromise their stability. There isn't an age at which children are too old for bunk beds, but many experts recommend that children should not sleep on the top bunk until they're at least six years old and able to stand still while sleeping. If you are unsure of your child's readiness to climb on the top bunk, think about a twin/full-size bunk instead. Style Bunk beds are a great way for kids to share space with their siblings and make the most of their space. They are also an enjoyable way to organize sleepovers for all involved. Bunks that have desks are ideal for teens and older children because they can combine sleeping and study furniture into one. Bunks with ladders or stairs allow climbing up to the top of the bed safer and easier for children of all different ages. You can personalize your bed by choosing the size, style and other features that you want. The kind of mattress you choose will determine the comfort level of your bunk bed. Slumberland has a wide selection of mattresses of the highest quality for all types of bunk beds. We have innerspring, hybrid, memory foam and various other types of mattresses of all sizes. Other style features to consider include ladders and stairs as well as safety rails and extra storage options. Some bunk beds feature standard ladders that are attached to the side of the frame, whereas others feature a set stairs built into the frame. Staircases have a modern and sleek design and are more secure than traditional ladders. You can also customize your bunk beds by selecting a color scheme that matches the character of your children or the decor of the bathroom. Some bunk beds have white finishes, whereas others are available in natural or dark cherry wood finishes. If you're purchasing a bed made of wood you can paint it to be in line with the color scheme of the room your children are in or stain it to keep the natural appearance. To add a custom touch to your bunks, you can purchase decorative lighting that will match the theme or design of the room. You can mount recessed lights in the ceiling, for instance, to provide ample light without taking up the floor space. If you have a wooden or metal bunk bed, you might also want to add swag lights, which hang from the ceiling. They provide a more gentle lighting. Storage The main feature of bunk beds is their capacity to make more space in your kids' bedroom by stacking two beds over the other. They can be stacked the duration of time your children are young until they reach the age of tweenhood, or they can be split to make individual bed frames. This is perfect for families who move frequently or have a smaller home. These bunk beds are versatile and are available in a variety of configurations, with traditional twin over twin and 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 include the step ladder which is placed at an angle to make it 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 take into account the construction. Some models are made of a mixture of medium density fibreboard and kiln dried hardwood. While the former is more affordable and can offer an updated look while the latter is stronger and more durable. Bunks that have trundle mattresses are a great option for sleepovers. Certain models allow you to add an additional trundle in another configuration. These models can easily sleep three adults or children which is ideal for a room shared that fosters friendships and family bonds while making the best utilization of space. The color of a bunk bed and its design are the last things to consider. Crisp whites, neutral greys and muted clay finishes can be combined with any decor for bedrooms. A clean white bunk is a great option for cottage, vibrant or coastal bedrooms. A neutral gray or clay finish will work with any palette as your child develops. While the cost of a bunk bed can vary, most models come with an affordable price that's comparable to other similar kinds of furniture for bedrooms.
