Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds kids let siblings share a space without compromising their personal space and are a great option for sleepovers. Based on the model you choose, these beds may include ladders or stairs to access the top bunk. Additionally, they can be crafted using a variety of materials like wood and metal. Size When looking for a bunk bed, make sure you take precise measurements and compare them to your room dimensions. You'll need to ensure that there's enough room for your kids to climb up and down the ladder (or stairs if the bunk has stairs) and to maneuver around the loft without crashing into furniture or walls. You should also consider the dimensions of the bunk bed and headroom in relation with your child's sitting and standing height. You may have to purchase a bunk bed that is shorter to accommodate smaller children while older kids may prefer a higher-setup. Bunk beds kids typically come in two configurations: twin-over-twin and full-over-full. Both are excellent options for accommodating multiple children in one room. Some bunks also include an trundle bed that can accommodate more guests for sleepovers. If your kids are young, consider a low-level bunk bed so that the lowest bunk is not more than 50 inches above the floor. This will keep your children from falling out of their beds, which is risky for safety. Another feature to consider is the amount of space between the top bunk and the guardrails. The CPSC recommends the top bunk's mattress to be no higher than 5 inches higher than the guardrail. This will stop your child from slipping out of bed during the middle of the night and into the guardrails. This could result in the entrapment of a child, or even an accident. The best bunk beds for kids are constructed with durable materials and meet CPSC safety standards, says Ganjian. You'll also want to check out the design of each bed to make sure that it's made of high-quality wood and isn't too flimsy or unstable. Some of the higher-end bunk beds for kids 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 bunk up your kids. It's easy to put together and includes all the necessary tools. If bunk bed for kids outgrow it, you can transform it into three separate beds. It's available in a neutral finish that can be combined with muted and vibrant colors, like weathered blue or brushed gray. Safety Bunk beds are a fun and exciting accessory to any bedroom for children however, they can be dangerous if they are not correctly assembled or used. Bunk bed injuries can occur to children of any age but they are more common among children younger than six. It is important to follow the manufacturer's assembly instructions and safety instructions, use the correct size mattress and position the bed so that it doesn't hinder windows or heaters, as well as hanging lights. It is a good idea to inspect the bed for signs of wear and tear and make repairs should they be required. The height of the top bunk should be kept to a maximum of four feet. There should be a guardrail on both sides of the bed. The space between guardrails should not be greater than 3 ½ inch to prevent the risk of suffocation. This will also ensure that your child doesn't roll under the guardrail when sleeping. The mattress at the bottom should be secured by wires or slats that run directly beneath the bunk. They must also be secured at both ends. This will prevent your child from falling through gaps. Ladders and stairs should be securely attached to bunk beds and provide a safe way to climb to the top 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 into bed. Avoid rough play on the bunks, as this can compromise their stability. There isn't a specific age at that children are considered to be 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 least six years old and are able to sit still when sleeping. If you're unsure whether your child is able to climb the top bunk, opt for a full or twin size bunk. Style Bunk beds are a great method for kids to share space with their siblings and maximize their space. They can also be an enjoyable way to organize sleepovers that everyone can enjoy. Bunks that have desks are ideal for older children and teenagers because they combine the study and sleep furniture in one. Bunks with ladders or stairs make it easier and safer for children to climb up to the top bunk. You can customize your bed by selecting the size, style and other features you prefer. The kind of mattress you choose will determine the comfort of your bunk bed. Slumberland offers a wide range of mattresses with the best quality for all types bunk beds. We offer innerspring, hybrid, memory foam and various other types of mattresses of all sizes. Stairs and ladders are another design features you should be thinking about, along with safety rails and extra storage. Some bunk beds feature standard ladders that attach to the sides of the frame, and others feature a set of stairs that are built into the frame. Staircases offer a more modern and sleek design and are safer than conventional ladders. You can also personalize the bunks with the color scheme that best matches your child's personality or the style of the rest of the room. Some bunk beds are painted in white, while others are made in natural or dark cherry wood. If you are buying a wooden bed you can paint it to be in line with the color scheme of your children's rooms or stain it to keep the natural look. To add a custom touch to your bunks, you can buy decorative lighting to complement the theme or design of the room. You can install recessed lights in the ceiling, for example to give plenty of illumination without taking up the floor space. If you're using a steel or wood bunk bed, you can also add swag lighting that hangs from the ceiling and provides soft lighting. Storage The main feature of bunk beds is their capacity to make more space in your children's bedroom by stacking two beds one over the other. The design of these beds often allows for the beds to be stacked until your kids grow into teens and tweens, or they can be separated into individual free-standing beds, which is ideal for families who may move often or have smaller homes. The 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 constructed with different heights as well with some featuring an incline ladder that is set at an angle for easier climbing or a staircase with built-in drawers that allow for storage that is out of sight. When selecting a bunk bed, you should be aware of the structure. Certain models are constructed of a mixture of medium density fibreboard and kiln dried hardwood. The former is cheaper and has an updated look however the latter may be more durable and sturdy. Bunks with trundle mattresses are great for sleepovers. Certain models allow you to add another trundle with an alternative 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. A bunk bed's color and style are the final factors to consider. Crisp whites, neutral greys and subtle finishes in clay can be combined with any bedroom decor. A white, crisp bunk bed is a great pick for cottage, coastal or bright bedrooms and a neutral gray or clay choice will blend seamlessly with various colors as your child grows and develops into a person. While the price of a bunk bed may vary, most models feature an affordable price that is comparable to other types of bedroom furniture. The cheaper bunk beds are constructed with less durable materials, but many of our top-rated models are built to last enough to last beyond childhood.
