Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds for children are a great option to allow siblings to share a room without compromising personal space. They can also be an excellent option for hosting sleepovers. Depending on the model that you select, these beds could include ladders or stairs to access the top bunk. Additionally, they can be made from a variety of materials including metal and wood. Size When you are looking for a bunk bed take careful measurements and compare them with your room dimensions. You'll need to make sure there is enough space for your kids to climb up the ladder or steps (if they're included) and move around the loft without crashing into furniture or walls. It's also important to consider the height of the bunk bed and headroom in relation to your children's standing and sitting height. You might need to buy an earlier-than-average bunk bed to accommodate smaller children and older children might prefer a higher setup. Bunk beds for kids generally come in two different configurations that are twin-over-twin or full-over-full. Both are great to accommodate multiple kids in one room. Some bunks include a trundle to accommodate guests who aren't sleeping. If your children are young, consider a low bunk to ensure that the bunk at the bottom is not more than 50 inches from the ground. This will keep children from falling out of bed, which could be a danger to safety. The distance between the top bunk and guardrails is another crucial aspect to take into consideration. The CPSC recommends that the height of the top mattress not be more than 5 inches above the guardrail. This will stop your child from rolling out of bed in the middle night and crashing into the guardrails. This could lead to entrapment, or even the possibility of falling. Ganjian says that the most reliable bunk beds are constructed from solid materials, and they comply with CPSC safety standards. Check the construction of each bunk bed to be sure it's constructed using high-quality wood and isn't fragile or unstable. Some of the higher-end bunk bed s for children feature mortise and tenon joints and are Greenguard Gold Certified. The triple bunk bed from Pottery Barn will work well for a guest room or as a holiday home or even to sleep your kids. It's simple to assemble and includes all the necessary tools. If your children outgrow it, you can convert it into three separate beds. It comes in a neutral finish that can be combined with muted and vibrant colors, such as brushed gray or weathered blue. Safety A bunk bed is an exciting and fun addition to a child's room However, it can also be a risk if not properly assembled or used. Bunk bed injuries can happen to children of all ages but they are more common among children younger than six years old. It is crucial 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 recommended also to regularly inspect the bed for signs of wear and tear and make repairs when needed. The top bunk's height should be limited to 4 feet. There should be guardrails at the two ends of the bed. The space between guardrails shouldn't be wider than 3 ½ inch to avoid the risk of suffocation. This will also ensure that your child cannot slide under the guardrail while sleeping. The mattress at the bottom should be supported by slats or wires that run directly underneath the bunk and secured securely at both ends to prevent the possibility of a gap that your child might fall through. The ladders or stairs must be affixed to the bunk bed. They must be secure and should provide a safe method of climbing to the higher level. Make sure the ladder isn't near any dangers and that your children know they can only use it to get into bed. Avoid rough play on the bunks, since this could compromise their stability. There isn't an age at which children are too old to be able to sleep in bunk beds, but many experts advise that children should not sleep in the top bunk until they're at minimum six years old and able to stand still while sleeping. If you're not sure if your child is ready to climb the top bunk, go for a full or twin size bunk. Style Bunk beds are a great method for children to share space with their siblings and to maximize their space. They are also a great way to encourage teamwork in young children and make sleepovers more fun for everyone involved. Bunks with desks are ideal for older children and teenagers because they incorporate sleeping and studying furniture into one. Bunks with ladders or stairs can make climbing up to the top bed more secure and easy for children of all ages. You can personalize your bed by choosing the size, style and other features that you prefer. The type of mattress that you select will determine the level of comfort of your bunk bed. At Slumberland, we offer a wide selection of premium-quality mattresses for all types of bunk beds. We offer innerspring, memory foam and hybrid-type mattresses in all sizes, so you will be able to find the ideal fit for your kids' or teens' bunks. Other style features to consider include ladders and stairs along with safety rails, as well as additional storage options. Some bunk beds come with ladders that attach along the side, while others have stairs built right into the frame. Staircases are a better option for older children and teenagers because they are more secure than standard ladders and offer an elegant, modern design. You can also customize your bunk beds by choosing a color scheme that matches the character of your children or the decor of your bathroom. Some bunk beds have 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 children room or opt for a stain to keep the natural appearance. You can add your own personal accent 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 instance to give plenty of light without taking up floor space. If you're using a steel or wood bunk bed, you can also include swag lighting, which hangs from the ceiling and offers an edgier light. Stores The most distinctive feature of bunk beds is their capacity to increase the space in your children's bedroom by stacking two beds one over the other. They can be stacked for as long as your children are young until they reach tweenhood or they can be separated to create individual bed frames. This is ideal for families that move often or have a smaller home. These versatile bunk beds also are available in a variety of configurations, including traditional twin over twin or twin over full and queen over queen options available (like the Crate & Barrel Babyletto TipToe White and Washed Natural Wood Bunk Bed). They can be configured with different heights, with some including the step ladder which is placed at an angle for easy climbing, or a staircase that has built-in drawers that allow for out-of-sight storage. When selecting a bunk bed, it is important to take into account the construction. Some models are made from a mix of medium-density fibreboard and kiln dried hardwood. While the former is more affordable and offers more modern appearance, the latter can be stronger and more durable. Bunks with trundle mattresses are a great option for sleepovers. Certain models allow you to add an additional trundle in another configuration. These models can sleep up to three children or adults. This is perfect for a shared bedroom that helps strengthen family bonds and encourages friendships. The final piece to consider when choosing a bunk bed is the style and color, with crisp whites, neutral grays and muted clay options offering various aesthetic options that are a good match for any style of bedroom. A crisp white bunk bed is a good option for coastal, cottage or vibrant bedrooms, while a neutral gray or clay choice will seamlessly blend with a range of palettes as your child matures and matures into a mature person. While the price of a bunk bed will vary, most models come with a relatively reasonable price tag which is comparable to other kinds of furniture for bedrooms. A few of the less expensive models are constructed of less expensive materials, whereas the majority of our top-rated bunk beds are built to last enough to last through childhood and beyond.
