Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds for kids are a great way to allow siblings to share a space without compromising their personal space. They can also be used as a great option when hosting sleepovers. Based on the model you select, these beds could have stairs or ladders to access the top bunk and they can be made from a variety of materials like wood and metal. Size Compare the dimensions of your room with the measurements of a bunk bed before you purchase it. You'll need to ensure that there's enough space for your children to climb up and down the ladder (or stairs if your bunk includes them) and move around the loft without crashing into furniture or walls. It's also important to think about the height of the bunk bed and headroom in relation to your children's standing and sitting height. You might need to buy a shorter bunk bed to accommodate children younger than them and older children might prefer a higher-setup. Bunk beds for kids generally come in two styles that are twin-over-twin or full-over-full. Both are excellent options to accommodate multiple kids in a room. Some bunks have an trundle that can accommodate additional guests during sleepovers. If your children are young, you should choose a lower-level bunk bed, so that the bottom bunk isn't more than 50 inches above the floor. This will stop your children from falling out of their beds, which can be risky for safety. The distance between the top bunk and guardrails is another crucial factor to consider. The CPSC recommends the top bunk's mattress to be no more than 5 inches higher than the guardrail. This will stop your children from rolling out of bed during the middle of the night and crashing into the guardrails. This could result in entrapment, or even an accident. The most suitable bunk beds for children are built with sturdy materials and are in compliance with CPSC safety standards, says Ganjian. You'll also want to examine the design of each bed to ensure it's constructed from high-quality wood and isn't overly fragile or unstable. Some of the higher-end bunk beds for kids also feature mortise and tenon joints, and are Greenguard Gold Certified. This triple bunk bed from Pottery Barn will work well as a guest bedroom or a home for vacation, or even to bunk up your children. It's simple to put together with the included tools and can be converted into three free-standing beds if your kids outgrow the arrangement. It is available in a neutral finish that can be paired with both vibrant and muted colors, such as weathered blue or brushed gray. Safety Bunk beds are a great and exciting feature for any child's bedroom, but they can be dangerous if not properly constructed or used. Bunk bed-related injuries may occur in children of all ages however, they are most common to kids under six. It is important to follow the manufacturer's assembly instructions and safety guidelines, use the correct size mattress and position the bed so that it doesn't hinder windows or heaters. It is also advisable to avoid hanging light fixtures. It is also a good idea to check the bunk bed for signs of wear and tear and then make repairs as needed. The top bunk's height should be limited to four feet, and there should be guardrails on both sides of the bed. The gap between guardrails shouldn't be wider than 3 ½ inches to avoid suffocation. This will also ensure that your child doesn't slide under the guardrail while sleeping. The mattress on the bottom should be supported by slats or wires that are directly beneath the bunk and secured with a secure nut at both ends to prevent the possibility of a gap that your child could fall through. Ladders or stairs should be affixed to the bunk bed. They must be secure and should offer a safe way of climbing to the higher level. Make sure the ladder isn't near any dangers, and that your children know they can only use it to get into bed. Also, discourage rough playing on the bunks as this could cause damage to the stability of the structure. It is impossible to establish a minimum age at which children can sleep in bunk beds. However, a lot of experts suggest that children do not sleep on the top bunk until they are at least six years old age and are old enough to be able to stay still during sleep. If you are unsure about your child's capacity to climb on the top bunk, consider a twin/full-size bunk instead. Style Bunk beds are a great way for children to share space with their siblings and maximize their space. They're also a great way to encourage teamwork in younger children and can make sleepovers more fun for everyone involved. Bunks that have desks are ideal for teenagers and older children because they combine sleep and study furniture in one. Bunks with ladders or stairs make it easier and safer for kids to climb up to the top bunk. You can customize your bed by choosing the dimensions, style, and other features you prefer. The kind of mattress you pick will determine the level of comfort your bunk bed will be. At Slumberland we have a wide selection of premium-quality mattresses for all kinds of bunk beds. We have innerspring, hybrid memory foam, and various other types of mattresses of all sizes. The ladders and stairs are two other options to think about, along with safety rails and extra storage. Some bunk beds have ladders that attach along the side, while others have stairs built into the frame. Staircases are a good option for teenagers and older children because they are more secure than standard ladders and offer modern, sleek design. kids bunk beds can also customize your bunk beds by choosing a color scheme that matches the character of your children or the decor of the rest room. Some bunk beds come with a white finish, while others are available in natural or dark cherry wood finishes. If you're purchasing a wooden bed you can paint it to be in line with the color scheme of the room your children are in or stain it to maintain an authentic look. To add a custom look to your bunks you can get decorative lighting that matches the theme or design of the room. For instance, recessed lights can be hung from the ceiling to provide plenty of light without occupying floor space. If you have a metal or wooden bunk bed, you might consider adding swag lights, which hang from the ceiling. They offer soft lighting. Stores The majority of bunk beds are distinguished by their capacity to increase the space available in the bedroom of your child. This is achieved by stacking two mattresses on top of each 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 ideal for families that move frequently or have a small home. The bunk beds are available in various configurations. They include the classic twin over twin full over twin, and queen over queen (like Crate & Barrrel Babyletto TipToe White and Waxed Natural Wood Bunk Bed). They can be configured with different heights and some include an incline ladder that is set at an angle for easier climbing, or a staircase with built-in drawers that allow for storage out of sight. When you are choosing a bunk bed, you should take into account the construction. Some models are made of a combination medium-density fibreboard and kiln dried hardwood. While the former is more affordable and has more modern appearance but the latter is sturdier and more durable. Bunks with trundle beds can be an excellent option for sleepovers, and some come with the option of adding an additional trundle bed to a second configuration. These beds can accommodate up to three children or adults. This is perfect for bedrooms that share space, which encourages family bonds and fosters friendships. A bunk bed's color and design are the last aspects to take into consideration. Crisp whites, neutral greys, and subtle finishes in clay are all a great match for any decor for bedrooms. A clean white bunk is a good option for cottage, vibrant or coastal bedrooms. A neutral gray or clay finish will go with any palette as your child develops. Although bunk beds vary in cost, they are typically priced at a price that is comparable to other kinds of bedroom furniture. Some of the lower-priced models are constructed from less expensive materials, whereas many of our top-rated bunk beds are built to last enough to last through the years of your child and beyond.
