Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds for kids let siblings share a space without compromising their personal space and they can also be a great option for sleepovers. These beds can include ladders or stairs to access the top bunk, and are constructed of metal and wood. Size Compare the dimensions of your room with the dimensions of a bunk bed prior to you buy it. You'll want to ensure there's enough space for kids to climb up and down the ladder (or stairs if the bunk has stairs) and move around the loft without running into furniture or walls. You should also take into consideration the height of the bunk bed and headroom in relation to your child's sitting and standing height. It is possible to purchase a bunk bed that is shorter to accommodate smaller children and older children might prefer a higher setup. Bunk beds kids typically come in two different configurations including twin-overtwin and full-overfull. Both are excellent choices for accommodating multiple children in one room. Some bunks have a trundle to accommodate guests who aren't sleeping. If your children are young, consider a bunk that is low so that the bottom bunk is not more than 50 inches away from the ground. This will stop children from falling out of bed, which could be a safety risk. The distance between the top bunk and guardrails is another factor to consider. The CPSC recommends the top bunk's mattress to be no more than 5 inches above guardrail. This will stop your kids from rolling out of their bed in the middle of the night and crashing into the guardrails, which could lead to accidents or entrapment. The most suitable bunk beds for children are made of sturdy materials and meet CPSC safety standards, according to Ganjian. You should also look at the design of each bed to make sure 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 the strictest standards for chemical emissions. This triple bunk bed from Pottery Barn will work well for a guest room or a home for vacation, or even to bunk your kids. It's simple to put together with tools included and converts into three separate beds if your kids outgrow the arrangement. It's a relaxing neutral finish that blends into both vibrant and muted colors, such as the weathered navy and brushed gray. Safety Bunk beds can be a fun and exciting feature for any child's bedroom, but they can be dangerous if not properly built or used. Bunk bed injuries can happen to children of all ages but they are more frequent in children younger than six. It is crucial to follow the manufacturer's safety and assembly guidelines as well as use the appropriate mattress size, and position the bunk beds so they aren't in conflict with windows, heaters, or hanging lights. It is recommended also to regularly inspect the bed for signs of wear and tear and make repairs if necessary. The height of the top bunk should be limited to four feet, and there are guardrails on both sides of the bed. The space between the guardrails shouldn't be larger than 3 ½ inches to avoid suffocation and ensure that your child can't roll under the guardrail while sleeping. The mattress on the bottom should be held up by wires or slats that run directly underneath the bunk. They must also be secured on both ends. This will stop your child from falling through a gap. The ladders or stairs must be affixed to the bunk bed and secure and should provide a safe method of climbing to the upper level. Be sure that the ladder isn't in close proximity to any dangers, and that your children are aware that they only need it to climb up into bed. Avoid rough play on the bunks as this can compromise their stability. It isn't possible to determine a specific age at which children can sleep in bunk beds. However, many experts recommend that children not sleep on the top bunk until at least six years old age and are old enough to sleep in a still position. If you are unsure about your child's ability to climb up the top bunk, consider a full-size or twin bunk instead. Style Bunk beds let kids share a room and stay close to their siblings, while also maximizing space. They are also a fun way to make sleepovers for everyone involved. Bunks with desks are great for older children and teenagers because they can combine sleep and study furniture in one. Bunks with stairs or ladders make it safer and easier for kids to climb to the top bunk. You can personalize your bunk bed by selecting the size, style and other features you'd like to have. The type of mattress that you select will determine the comfort level of your bunk bed. Slumberland provides a variety of mattresses of the highest quality for all types bunk beds. We offer innerspring, hybrid memory foam, and many other kinds of mattresses of all sizes. Other style features to consider include stairs and ladders, safety rails, and other storage options. Some bunk beds have ladders that connect to the sides, while others have stairs built into the frame. Staircases offer a more modern and sleek design and are more secure than conventional ladders. You can also customize your bunk beds by selecting a color scheme that matches the character of your children or the decor of the rest room. Some bunk beds come with white finishes, while others are available in dark cherry or natural wood finishes. If you are buying a wooden bed, you can choose to paint it to match the color scheme of your kids' rooms or stain it to keep a natural appearance. You can add your own personal accent to your bunk beds by investing in decorative lighting that is in line with the theme or design. You can install recessed lights in the ceiling, for example to give plenty of illumination without taking up the floor space. If you have a metal or wooden bunk bed, you might consider adding 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 in the bedroom of your child. This is accomplished by putting two mattresses on top of each other. They can be stacked as long as your children are young or until they reach tweenhood or they can be divided to create separate bed frames. This is perfect for families that move often or have a smaller home. These bunk beds come in a variety of configurations. They include the standard twin over twin full over twin and queen over queen (like Crate & Barrrel Babyletto TipToe White & Waxed Natural Wood Bunk Bed). They can be set up in different sizes, and some come with a step-ladder inclined to make it easier to climb. Another aspect to consider when selecting a bunk bed is its design, with some models featuring a combination of medium-density fiberboard as well as kiln-dried wood. While the former is less expensive and can offer an updated look but the latter is more robust and durable. Bunks with trundle beds can be the ideal option for sleepovers. Some include the ability to add an additional trundle bed in a second configuration. They can easily accommodate three children or adults, which can be ideal for a shared room that encourages family bonding while maximizing the use of space. The final piece to consider when selecting a bunk bed is the design and color that you choose, with bright whites, neutral grays and muted clay finishes providing a range of aesthetic choices that will complement any decor for bedrooms. A crisp white bunk is a great choice for colorful, cottage or coastal bedrooms. A neutral gray or clay finish will go with any palette as your child gets older. Although bunk beds vary in price, they are usually priced at a reasonable level that is comparable to other types of furniture for bedrooms. Some of the lower-priced models are constructed of less expensive materials, while many of our top-rated bunk beds are built to last enough to last through childhood and beyond.
