Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds for kids let siblings share a space without compromising their privacy and are a great option for sleepovers. Based on the model you select, these beds could have stairs or ladders that access the top bunk and they can be constructed using a variety of materials including wood and metal. Size Check the dimensions of your room with the measurements of a bunk bed before you purchase it. You'll need to ensure that there's plenty of space for kids to climb up and down the ladder (or stairs if your bunk includes them) and to move around the loft without crashing into walls or furniture. It's also important to think about the height of the bunk bed and headroom in relation to your kids standing and sitting height. You may have to purchase a bunk bed that is shorter to accommodate smaller children and older children might prefer a higher configuration. Bunk beds for children are available in two styles either full-overfull or twin-overtwin. Both are excellent choices for accommodating multiple children in one room. Some bunks come with a trundle bed to accommodate more guests at sleepovers. If kids bunk beds are young, you should look for an extremely low bunk, with a bottom bunk that is not more than 50 inches away from the ground. This will keep children from falling out of bed, which could be a danger to safety. Another thing to take into consideration is the clearance between the top bunk and the guardrails. The CPSC recommends that the the top mattress be no greater than 5 inches over the guardrail. This will stop your children from slipping out of bed in the middle night and into the guardrails. This could lead to an entrapment or even an accident. The best bunk beds for kids are built with sturdy materials and are in compliance with CPSC safety standards, says Ganjian. You should also look at the structure of each bed to ensure that it's made of 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 and are Greenguard Gold Certified for meeting the strictest standards for chemical emissions. Whether you're furnishing the guest room, furnishing an apartment for vacation, or bunking your own kids, this triple bunk from Pottery Barn is a smart option. It's simple to put together with tools included and converts into three separate beds if your kids outgrow the arrangement. It comes in a soothing neutral finish that blends seamlessly into the vibrant and muted color schemes, including the weathered navy and brushed gray. Safety A bunk bed can be an exciting and enjoyable addition to a child's room, but it can be dangerous if it isn't correctly assembled or used. Bunk bed-related injuries may occur at any age however they're most likely to happen to children under the age of six. It is crucial to follow manufacturer's assembly and safety guidelines, use the correct size mattress and place the bunk bed in a way that it does not block windows or heaters. It is also advisable to avoid hanging lights. It is also an excellent idea to check the bunk bed for any signs of wear and tear and then make repairs as required. The top bunk's height should be limited to 4 feet. Also, there should be guardrails at both ends of the bed. The space between guardrails should not be wider than 3 ½ inches to prevent suffocation. This will also 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 underneath the bunk. They should also be fastened securely on both ends. This will stop your child from falling through a gap. The ladders and stairs must be securely attached to bunk beds and provide a safe way to get to the top level. Make sure that the ladder isn't near any hazards and that your children know that they can use it only to climb into bed, not as an area for play. Avoid rough play on the bunks as this can compromise their stability. It is not possible to determine the age for children to be in bunk beds. However, many experts suggest that children do not sleep on the top bunk until they're at least six years of age and are mature enough to be able to stay still during sleep. If you're unsure whether your child is ready to climb the top bunk, go for a twin/full size bunk. Style Bunk beds are a great option for kids to share space with their siblings and to maximize their room. They are also an enjoyable way to organize sleepovers for everyone involved. Bunks with desks are perfect for teenagers and older children because they incorporate sleeping and studying furniture into one. Bunks with ladders or stairs will make climbing up to the top bed safer and easier for children of all age groups. You can personalize your bunk bed by choosing the dimensions, style, and other features you'd like to have. The type of mattress that you choose will determine the level of comfort of your bunk bed. Slumberland offers a wide range of mattresses with the best quality for all kinds of bunk beds. We have innerspring, memory foam, and hybrid mattresses in all sizes, so you can find the ideal fit for your kids' or teens bunk beds. Stairs and ladders are other options to be thinking about, along with safety rails and additional storage. Some bunk beds come with ladders that connect to the sides, while others have stairs built into the frame. Staircases provide a more modern and sleek look and are more secure than standard ladders. You can also personalize your bunk beds by selecting the color scheme that best matches the personality of your children or the decor of your bathroom. Some bunk beds are painted in white, while others are finished in dark cherry wood or natural wood. If you're buying a wood bunk bed, you can paint it to match your children rooms or pick staining to maintain the natural appearance. You can add a personal touch to your bunk beds by investing in decorative lighting that complements the theme or design. It is possible to install recessed lighting in the ceiling, like to let in plenty of lighting without taking up floor space. If you're using a steel or wood bunk bed, you can also include swag lighting hanging from the ceiling and offers soft light. Storage Most bunk beds are characterized by their capacity to expand the space in the bedroom of your child. This is achieved by stacking two mattresses on top of one other. The design often allows these beds to be stacked until your kids grow into teens and tweens, or they can be separated into separate free-standing beds, which is ideal for families who may move often or have a smaller home. These bunk beds are versatile and are available in a variety of configurations, with traditional twin over twin or twin over full and queen over queen options available (like the Crate and Barrel Babyletto TipToe White & Washed Natural Wood Bunk Bed). They can be set up with different heights, with some including an incline ladder that is set at an angle for easy climbing, or a staircase with built-in drawers that permit storage that is out of sight. When selecting a bunk bed, you should also consider its 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 that have trundle mattresses are great for sleepovers. Some models allow for the addition of a second trundle in an alternative configuration. They can easily accommodate three adults or children and are ideal for a space that fosters friendships and family bonding while maximizing the use of space. The final piece to consider when choosing the right bunk bed is style and color that you choose, with bright whites, neutral grays and muted clay finishes providing a range of aesthetic choices that are a good match for any decor for bedrooms. A crisp white bunk bed is a good pick for cottage, coastal or vibrant bedrooms and a neutral gray or clay choice will seamlessly blend with various colors as your child grows and matures into a mature person. Although bunk beds can vary in price, they are usually priced at a reasonable level that is comparable to other types of furniture for bedrooms. A few bunk beds that are priced lower are made with cheaper materials, but the majority of our top-rated models are sturdy enough to endure through childhood and beyond.
