Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds for kids are a great option to allow siblings to share one room without compromising their personal space. They are also an excellent option for hosting sleepovers. They can also have ladders or stairs that can be used to reach the top bunk, and are constructed from metal and wood. Size Check the dimensions of your space with the dimensions of a bunk bed before you purchase it. You'll need to make sure there's enough room for your children to climb the stairs or ladder (if they're part of the set) and move around the loft without crashing into furniture or walls. Also, you should take into consideration the size of the bunk bed as well as headroom in relation to your child's standing and sitting height. You may need to buy a shorter bunk to accommodate younger children, while older children might prefer a higher setup. Bunk beds for children are available in two styles twin-overtwin and full-overfull. Both are great for accommodating multiple kids in a room. Some bunks come with the option of a trundle to allow for additional guests for sleepovers. If your kids are still young, you should look for an extremely low bunk, so that the bottom bunk is less than 50 inches off the ground. This will keep your children from falling out of their beds, which can be a safety hazard. The distance between the top bunk and guardrails is another crucial factor to consider. The CPSC recommends that the top bunk's mattress to not be higher than 5 inches over the guardrail. This will prevent your children from slipping out of bed during the middle of the night and crashing into the guardrails. This could result in the entrapment of a child, or even an accident. Ganjian says that the most reliable bunk beds are made of sturdy materials, and they comply with CPSC safety standards. You should also check out 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 children come with mortise and Tenon joinery, and are Greenguard Gold Certified.

It's available in a neutral finish that can be paired with muted or vibrant colors, like weathered blue or brushed gray. Safety A bunk bed can be an exciting and fun element to add to a child's space however, it can be a risk if not properly constructed or used. Bunk bed injuries can occur to children of any age but they are more frequent in children younger than six years old. It is crucial to adhere to the manufacturer's safety and assembly instructions, use the right mattress size, and place the bunk beds so they aren't in conflict with windows, heaters, or hanging lights. It is recommended also to regularly inspect the bed for wear and repair when needed. The height of the top bunk should be kept to a maximum of 4 feet. Also, there should be guardrails on both sides of the bed. The space between the guardrails should not be larger 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 on the bottom should be supported by slats or wires that run directly underneath the bunk. They should be fastened securely at both ends to avoid the possibility of a gap that your child could fall through. The ladders or stairs must be affixed to the bunk bed and secure, and provide a safe means of climbing up to the higher level. Make sure the ladder isn't in close proximity to any dangers and that your children are aware that they should only use it to climb up into bed. Avoid rough play on the bunks because it could affect their stability. There isn't a specific age at that children are considered to be too old for bunk beds, but many experts recommend that children shouldn't sleep on the top bunk until they're at minimum six years old and are able to sit still during sleep. If you aren't sure about your child's readiness to climb up the top bunk, consider 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 host sleepovers that everyone can enjoy. 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 make it safer and easier for kids to climb to the top bunk. You can customize your bunk bed by choosing the size, style and other features you want. The type of mattress you pick will determine how comfortable your bunk bed will be. Slumberland provides a variety of mattresses with the best quality for all types of bunk beds. We have innerspring, memory foam and hybrid-type mattresses of all sizes, allowing you to find the perfect mattress for your children's or teenagers bunk beds. Stairs and ladders are other options to be thinking about, along with safety rails and extra storage. Some bunk beds feature standard ladders that connect to the sides of the frame, and others have a set of stairs built into the frame. Staircases are a better option for teenagers and older children because they are more secure than standard ladders, and provide modern, sleek design. You can also personalize your bunk beds by choosing a color scheme that matches the personality of your children or the style of your rest room. Some bunk beds are available with white finishes, while others are available in natural or dark cherry wood finishes. If you're buying a wooden bunk bed, you can paint it to match your kids' rooms or choose stain to maintain the natural look. You can add a personal design to your bunk beds by buying decorative lighting that matches the theme or style. For instance, recessed lights can be hung from the ceiling to let in ample light without taking up floor space. If you have a metal or wooden bunk bed, you might be able to add swag lights that hang from the ceiling. They provide a more gentle lighting. Stores The most distinctive feature of bunk beds is their ability to create more space in your kids' bedroom by stacking two beds over the other. The design of these beds often allows for the beds to remain stacked as your children grow into teens and tweens or be separated into separate free-standing bed frames. This is perfect for families who might move frequently or have smaller homes. These bunk beds are available in a variety of 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, with some including a step ladder that sits at an angle to make it easier climbing, or a staircase that has built-in drawers that permit out-of-sight storage. When selecting a bunk bed, it is important to take into account the construction. Some models are made of a combination medium-density fibreboard and kiln dried hardwood. While the former is more affordable and offers more modern appearance but the latter is more robust and durable. Bunks with trundle mattresses are ideal for sleepovers. Certain models allow you to add a second trundle in another configuration. They can easily accommodate three children or adults, which can be ideal for a space that fosters friendships and family bonds while making the best utilization of space. The last thing to think about when choosing a bunk bed is its design and color that you choose, with bright whites, neutral grays and muted clay options offering an array of design options that will complement any style of bedroom. A crisp white bunk is a good option for cottage, vibrant or coastal bedrooms. A neutral gray or clay finish will work with any palette as your child develops. While the price of a bunk bed can vary, most models come with a relatively reasonable price tag which is comparable to other kinds of furniture for bedrooms. Some of the lower-priced models are constructed of less expensive materials, whereas many of our top-rated bunk beds are durable enough to last through the years of your child and beyond.
