Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds for children are a great option to allow siblings to share a space without compromising their personal space. They can also be an excellent option for hosting sleepovers. These beds can include ladders or stairs to access the top bunk and are constructed of metal and wood. Size Check the dimensions of your room to the dimensions of a bunk bed prior to you purchase it. It is important to ensure that there's enough space for your kids to climb up and down the ladder (or stairs if the bunk has stairs) and to 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. It is possible to purchase a bunk bed that is shorter to accommodate younger kids while older kids may prefer a higher configuration. kids bunk beds for kids generally come in two different configurations that are twin-over-twin or full-over-full. Both are great for accommodating multiple kids in a room. Some bunks also include an trundle bed that can accommodate more guests at sleepovers. If your children are young, you should look for a bunk that is low so that the bottom bunk is less than 50 inches off the ground. This will prevent your children from falling out of their beds, which can be risky for safety. Another thing to take into consideration is the amount of space between the top bunk and the guardrails. The CPSC recommends the top bunk's mattress to not be higher than 5 inches higher than the guardrail. This will help keep your children from rolling out of their bed in the middle of the night and into the guardrails, which could lead to injuries or falls. Ganjian says that the most reliable bunk beds are constructed from solid materials and meet CPSC safety requirements. It is also important to look at the construction of each bed to ensure it's constructed from high-quality wood and isn't too flimsy or unstable. Some of the more premium bunk beds for kids also have mortise and tenon joinery. They are also Greenguard Gold Certified for meeting stringent chemical emissions standards. The triple bunk bed from Pottery Barn will work well as a guest bedroom, a vacation home, or even to bunk up your kids. It is easy to assemble and includes all the necessary 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 matched with both vibrant and muted shades, such as weathered blue or brushed gray. Safety A bunk bed is an exciting and fun addition to a child's room, but it can be a risk if not properly constructed or used. Bunk bed-related injuries can occur at any age 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 so that it doesn't block windows, heaters or hanging lighting fixtures. It's also recommended to regularly check the bunk bed for signs of wear and tear and then make repairs as required. The top bunk's height should be limited to 4 feet. There should be guardrails on both sides of the bed. The space between guardrails should not be more than 3 ½ inches to avoid the risk of suffocation. This will also ensure that your child doesn't fall under the guardrail when sleeping. The bottom mattress should be supported by wires or slats that are directly beneath the bunk and secured securely at both ends to prevent a gap where your child may fall through. Ladders or stairs should be affixed to the bunk bed. They must be secured and offer a safe way of climbing to the upper level. Make sure the ladder isn't in the vicinity of any hazards and that your children know that they can use it only for climbing into bed, not to be used as an activity area. Also, you should avoid rough play on the bunks since this could cause damage to the stability of the structure. There isn't an age at that children are considered to be too old for bunk beds, however many experts suggest that kids should not sleep on the top bunk until they are 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 onto the top bunk, consider a twin/full-size bunk instead. Style Bunk beds are a great method for children to share space with their siblings and to maximize their room. They're also a great way to inspire teamwork in young children and make sleepovers more fun for everyone involved. Bunks with desks are ideal for older children and teenagers since they incorporate the study and sleep furniture in one. Bunks that have ladders or stairs make it safer and easier for kids to climb up to the top bunk. You can customize your bunk bed by choosing the size, style and other features you'd like. The kind of mattress you choose will determine the comfort level of your bunk bed. Slumberland provides a variety of mattresses that are of the highest quality for all kinds of bunk beds. We offer hybrid, innerspring, memory foam and many other kinds of mattresses of all sizes. The ladders and stairs are two other style features that you should consider, as well as safety rails and additional storage. Some bunk beds feature standard ladders that connect to the side of the frame, and others feature a set of stairs that are integrated into the frame. Staircases provide a more modern and sleek look and are more secure than traditional ladders. You can also personalize your bunk beds by selecting the color scheme that best matches the character of your children or the decor of your bathroom. Some bunk beds are painted in white, while others are made in natural or dark cherry wood. If you're purchasing a wooden bed, you can choose to 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 look to your bunks you can get decorative lighting that will match the theme or style of the room. It is possible to install recessed lighting in the ceiling, for example to let in plenty of illumination without taking up floor space. If you're using a steel or wood bunk bed you can also add swag lighting that hangs from the ceiling and gives an edgier light. Storage Most bunk beds are characterized by their ability to increase the space in the bedroom of your child. This is accomplished by stacking two mattresses on top of one other. They can be stacked as long as your children are young, or until they reach the age of tweenhood, or they can be separated to create individual bed frames. This is a great option for families that move often or have a smaller home. These bunk beds are versatile and come in a wide range of configurations, with traditional twin over twin, twin over full, and queen over queen options available (like the Crate and Barrel Babyletto TipToe White & Washed Natural Wood Bunk Bed). Some are available in different heights, and some even have a step-ladder angled for easier climbing. Another aspect to consider when choosing a bunk bed is the design, with some models that combine medium-density fiberboard as well as kiln-dried wood. The former is more affordable and can have a more modern look however the latter may be more durable and sturdy. Bunks with trundle beds are ideal for sleepovers, and some include the ability to add an additional trundle bed to another configuration. These beds can comfortably accommodate three children or adults, which can be ideal for a shared room that encourages family bonding while maximizing the utilization of space. The last thing to think about when choosing a bunk bed is the color and style, with crisp whites, neutral grays, and muted clay finishes providing a range of aesthetic choices that can play nicely with any style of bedroom. A white, crisp bunk bed is an excellent option for coastal, cottage or bright bedrooms and a neutral gray or clay choice will blend seamlessly with various colors as your child grows and evolves as a person. While the price of a bunk bed can vary, most models come with an affordable price that's comparable to other similar kinds of furniture for bedrooms. A few of the less expensive models are constructed from less expensive materials, whereas the majority of our top-rated bunk beds are built to last enough to last for the duration of the years of your child and beyond.
