Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds for kids let siblings share a space without compromising their personal space and they can also be an ideal option for sleepovers. They can be equipped with stairs or ladders to reach the top bunk and are made from metal and wood. Size When shopping for a bunk bed make sure you take precise measurements and compare them with the dimensions of your room. It is important to ensure that there's enough space for your kids to climb the stairs or ladder (if they are included) and move around the loft without crashing into furniture or walls. It's also important to take into consideration the bunk bed height and headroom in relation to your children's' standing and sitting height. You may have to purchase a bunk bed that is shorter to accommodate children younger than them while older kids may prefer a higher configuration. Bunk beds for kids usually come in two different configurations that are twin-over-twin or full-over-full. Both are excellent choices for accommodating multiple children in one room. Some bunks also include the option of a trundle bed for more guests during sleepovers. If your kids are still young, consider a bunk that is low so that the bottom bunk is not more than 50 inches off the ground. This will keep your children from falling out of their beds, which is a safety hazard. The distance between the top bunk and the guardrails is another crucial aspect to be considered. The CPSC recommends that the the top mattress be no more than 5 inches above the guardrail. This will help keep your children from falling out of mattress during the night and falling into guardrails, which could lead to entrapment or falls. Ganjian says that the most reliable bunk beds are made with solid materials, and they meet CPSC safety standards. Check the construction of each bunk bed to ensure it's made with quality woods and isn't fragile or unstable. Some of the most expensive bunk beds for kids also come with mortise-and-tenon joinery, and are Greenguard Gold Certified for meeting strict standards for chemical emissions. If you're looking to furnish the guest room, furnishing a vacation home or bunking your own children, this triple bunk from Pottery Barn is a smart choice. It's simple to assemble and includes all the necessary tools. If your children outgrow it, you can turn it into three separate beds. It is available in a neutral finish that can be paired with muted or vibrant shades, such as weathered blue or brushed gray. 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 constructed or used. Bunk bed injuries can occur to children of any age, but they are most common in children under six. It is crucial to adhere to the manufacturer's safety and assembly guidelines as well as use the appropriate mattress size, and set up the bunk beds so they aren't in conflict with windows, heaters, or hanging lights. It is also recommended to regularly 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. There should be kids bunk beds at both ends of the bed. The space between the guardrails shouldn't be greater than 3 ½ inches to prevent suffocation and ensure that your child doesn't fall under the guardrail when sleeping. The mattress at the bottom should be supported by wires or slats that run directly underneath the bunk and secured with a secure nut at both ends to prevent the possibility of a gap that your child could fall through. The ladders or stairs must be attached to the bunk bed. They must be secured and provide a safe method of climbing to the upper level. Be sure that the ladder isn't near any dangers, and that your children know they can only use it to climb into bed. Also, you should avoid rough play on the bunks as this can compromise the stability of the structure. There isn't a specific age at that children are considered to be too old for bunk beds, but many experts recommend that children should not sleep on the top bunk until they're at least 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 an adult-sized or twin bunk. Style Bunk beds let kids share a room and remain close to their peers while making the most of space. They can also be an enjoyable way to host sleepovers for everyone involved. Bunks with desks are great for teens and older children since they incorporate the study and sleep furniture in one. Bunks with ladders or stairs make it safer and easier for kids to climb to the top bunk. You can customize your bunk bed by selecting the dimensions, style, and other features you want. The kind of mattress you choose will determine the level of comfort your bunk bed will be. At Slumberland, we offer an array of premium mattresses for all kinds of bunk beds. We offer innerspring, memory foam, and hybrid-type mattresses in all sizes, so you can find the perfect fit for your kids' or teenagers bunk beds. Other style features to consider include stairs and ladders along with safety rails, as well as additional storage options. Some bunk beds feature ladders that are attached to the sides, while others have stairs built into the frame. Staircases offer a more modern and sleek design and are safer than traditional ladders. You can also customize your bunk beds by selecting the color scheme that best matches the personal style of your children, or the style of your bathroom. Some bunk beds are finished in white, while others come 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 your children's rooms or stain it to keep an authentic look. To add a custom touch to your bunks, you can buy decorative lighting to complement the theme or style of the room. For instance, recessed lights can be installed in the ceiling to provide ample light without taking up any floor space. If you have a wooden or metal bunk bed, you might be able to add swag lights, which hang from the ceiling. They offer more gentle lighting. Stores Most bunk beds are characterized by their capacity to increase the space available in your child's bedroom. This is achieved by stacking two mattresses on top of one 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 beds, which is perfect for families who might move frequently or have a smaller home. These bunk beds are available in various 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 even have a step-ladder inclined to make it easier to climb. When choosing a bunk bed, you should also consider its construction. Some models are made from a mix of medium-density fibreboard and kiln dried hardwood. The former is more affordable and can have modern appearance, but the latter can be more durable and sturdy. Bunks that have trundle beds are the ideal option for sleepovers, and some include the ability to add an additional trundle bed in an additional configuration. These beds can accommodate up to three adults or children. This is perfect for a shared bedroom that encourages family bonds and fosters friendships. The color of a bunk bed and its design are the last aspects to take into consideration. Crisp whites, neutral greys and subtle finishes in clay can all be paired with any style of bedroom. A white, crisp bunk is a good choice for colorful, cottage or coastal bedrooms. A neutral gray or clay finish will work with any color scheme as your child gets older. While the price of a bunk bed may vary, most models feature a relatively reasonable price tag that's comparable to other similar types of bedroom furniture. The cheaper bunk beds are made with cheaper materials, but many of our top-rated models are durable enough to endure through childhood and beyond.
