Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds for kids are a great way to allow siblings to share a space without compromising personal space. They can also be used as a great option when hosting sleepovers. They can be equipped with ladders or stairs that can be used to reach the top bunk, and are made from wood and metal. Size When shopping for a bunk bed, be sure to take precise measurements and compare them to your room dimensions. You'll need to ensure there's enough room for your children to climb up the ladder or steps (if they are included) and move around the loft without bumping into furniture or walls. It's also important to take into consideration the height of the bunk bed and headroom in relation to your kids' standing and sitting height. It may be necessary to purchase a shorter bunk to accommodate children who are younger, while older children may prefer a taller setup. Bunk beds for children are available in two different configurations – twin-overtwin or full-overfull. Both are excellent options to accommodate multiple children in one room. Some bunks include the option of a trundle to allow for additional guests during sleepovers. If your children are young, you should look for an extremely low bunk, so that the bottom bunk is not more than 50 inches from the ground. This will prevent little ones from falling out of bed, which can be a risk to their safety. Another thing to take into consideration is the amount of clearance between the top bunk and the guardrails. The CPSC recommends that the height of the mattress on top should not be greater than 5 inches over the guardrail. This will stop your child from slipping out of bed in the middle night and falling into the guardrails. This could lead to entrapment, or even the possibility of falling. Ganjian says that the top bunk beds are made with solid materials, and they meet CPSC safety standards. You'll also want to check out the construction of each bed to ensure that it's made of high-quality wood and isn't overly fragile or unstable. Some of the best bunk beds for kids also have mortise-and-tenon joinery, and are Greenguard Gold Certified for meeting the strictest standards for chemical emissions. The triple bunk bed from Pottery Barn will work well as a guest bedroom, a vacation home, or even to bunk your kids. It's easy to set up with the included tools and can be converted into three separate beds when your children grow out of the arrangement. It comes in a soothing neutral finish that blends into both muted and vibrant shades, including brushed gray and weathered navy. Safety A bunk bed is an exciting and enjoyable addition to a child's room However, it can also be dangerous if it isn't properly assembled or used. Bunk bed-related injuries can happen at any age however, they are most common to children younger than six. It is crucial to follow manufacturer's assembly and safety instructions, use the correct size mattress and position the bed in a way that it does not interfere with windows or heaters, as well as hanging lights. It is a good idea to check the bed for signs of wear and repair should they be required. kids bunk beds should be kept to a maximum of four feet. There are guardrails on both sides of the bed. The space between the guardrails shouldn't be larger than 3 ½ inches to prevent the risk of suffocation, and to ensure that your child doesn't fall under the guardrail when sleeping. The mattress at the bottom should be held up with wires or slats extending directly beneath the bunk. They should also be secured on both ends. This will stop your child from falling through gaps. The ladders and stairs must be securely attached to the bunk beds and provide a safe way to get to the top level. Be sure that the ladder isn't located near any dangers and that your kids are aware that they only need it to climb into the bed. Avoid rough play on the bunks, since this could compromise their stability. It is impossible to determine a specific age at which children can sleep in bunk beds. However, a lot of experts recommend that kids do not sleep on the top bunk until they are at least six years of age and are mature enough to sleep in a still position. If you're not sure if your child is ready to climb the top bunk, opt for a twin or full size bunk. Style Bunk beds allow kids to share a space and remain close to their siblings while maximizing space. They are also a great way to inspire teamwork in younger children and can make sleepovers more fun for everyone involved. Bunks that include desks are perfect for teenagers and older kids because they incorporate the study and sleeping furniture into one. Bunks that have ladders or stairs can make climbing up to the top bed more secure and easy for children of all different ages. You can personalize your bed by choosing the dimensions, style and other features you want. The type of mattress that you choose will determine the comfort level of your bunk bed. At Slumberland we have an extensive selection of high-quality mattresses for all kinds of bunk beds. We offer hybrid, innerspring, memory foam and various other types of mattresses in all sizes. Other style features to consider include ladders and stairs as well as safety rails and additional storage options. Some bunk beds have standard ladders that connect to the sides of the frame, whereas others have a set of stairs that are built into the frame. Staircases are an ideal choice for older children and teenagers because they are more secure than standard ladders and offer a sleek, modern look. You can also customize your bunk beds by choosing a color scheme that matches the character of your children or the style of your bathroom. Some bunk beds are finished in white, while others are made in natural or dark cherry wood. If you're buying a bed made of wood you can paint it to match the colors of your kids' rooms or stain it to keep an authentic appearance. You can add your own personal design to your bunk beds by purchasing decorative lighting that is in line with the theme or design. It is possible to install recessed lighting in the ceiling, for example to give plenty of lighting without taking up the floor space. If you have a metal or wooden bunk bed, you might also want to add swag lights that hang from the ceiling. They can provide softer lighting. Storage The majority of bunk beds are distinguished 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. 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 separate free-standing bed frames. This is perfect for families who may move often or have smaller spaces in their homes. These bunk beds come 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). Some can be configured with different heights, and some include a step-ladder that is inclined to make it easier to climb. Another thing to take into consideration when selecting the best bunk bed is its construction, with some models that combine medium-density fiberboard and kiln-dried hardwood. The former is less expensive and has an updated look however the latter may be more durable and sturdy. Bunks with trundle beds can be the ideal option for sleepovers. Some come with the option of adding an additional trundle bed to another configuration. They can easily accommodate three children or adults, which can be ideal for a space which encourages friendships and family bonding while maximising the utilization of space. The last element to consider when deciding on the right bunk bed is design and color with clean whites, neutral grays and muted clay options offering an array of design options that will complement any decor for bedrooms. A white, crisp bunk is a great option for bright, cottage or coastal bedrooms. A neutral gray or a clay finish can work with any color scheme as your child grows. While the price of a bunk bed can vary, most models feature a relatively reasonable price tag that's comparable to other similar kinds of furniture for bedrooms. Some lower-priced bunk beds are constructed with less durable materials, but many of our top-rated models are durable enough to last beyond childhood.
