Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds for children are a great way to allow siblings to share a room without compromising their personal space. They can also be an ideal option for hosting sleepovers. They can be equipped with ladders or stairs to access the top bunk, and are constructed from metal and wood. Size When looking for a bunk bed, make sure you take precise measurements and compare them to the dimensions of your room. You'll want to ensure there's plenty of space for your kids to climb up and down the ladder (or stairs in the case of bunks that have stairs) and to maneuver around the loft without crashing into furniture or walls. It is also important to consider the height of the bunk bed as well as headroom in relation with your child's sitting and standing height. It may be necessary to purchase a shorter bunk to accommodate younger children, while older kids may prefer a higher-upset. Bunk beds for kids usually come in two styles that are twin-over-twin or full-over-full. Both are great options for accommodating multiple children in one room. Some bunks come with a trundle bed to accommodate more guests for sleepovers. If your children are young, look for an extremely low bunk, so that the bottom bunk is less than 50 inches from the ground. This will stop your children from falling out of their beds, which can be an accident hazard. Another feature to consider is the amount of clearance between the top bunk and the guardrails. The CPSC recommends the top bunk's mattress to not be higher than 5 inches higher than the guardrail. This will prevent your children from rolling out of bed in the middle night and falling into the guardrails. This can cause the entrapment of a child, or even the possibility of falling. Ganjian says that the top bunk beds are made of solid materials, and they comply with CPSC safety requirements. Examine the construction of every bunk bed to make sure it's constructed with high-quality wood and isn't brittle or unstable. Some of the most expensive bunk beds for kids also have mortise and tenon joinery. They are also Greenguard Gold Certified for meeting stringent chemical emissions standards. The triple bunk bed from Pottery Barn will work well for a guest room, a vacation home, or even to bunk your children. It's simple to assemble and includes all the necessary tools. If your children grow out of it, you can turn it into three freestanding beds. It's available in a neutral finish that can be matched with muted and vibrant colors, such as brushed gray or weathered blue. Safety Bunk beds can be a fun and exciting addition to any child's bedroom however, they can be dangerous if they are not correctly built or used. Bunk bed-related injuries may occur in children of all ages however, they are most common to children under the age of six. It is important to follow the manufacturer's assembly and safety instructions, make sure you use the correct mattress size and position the bed in a way that it does not block windows or heaters, as well as hanging lights. It's also a good idea to regularly inspect the bunk bed for signs of wear and tear and then make repairs as needed. The height of the top bunk should be limited to 4 feet. There should be guardrails at both ends of the bed. The space between guardrails shouldn't be greater than 3 ½ inch to prevent death by suffocation. This will also ensure that your child isn't able to fall under the guardrail when sleeping. The mattress on the bottom should be supported by slats or wires that are placed directly under the bunk and secured with a secure nut at both ends to avoid the possibility of a gap that your child could fall through. Ladders and stairs should be securely attached to the bunk beds and provide a safe method 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 solely to climb into bed, not to be used as an area for play. Avoid rough play on the bunks, as this can compromise their stability. There isn't an age at when children are old enough for bunk beds, but many experts advise that children should not sleep on the top bunk until they are at least six years old and are able to sit still while sleeping. If you are unsure about your child's ability to climb up the top bunk, consider a twin/full-size bunk instead. Style Bunk beds allow kids to share a room and stay close to their siblings while maximizing space. They are also a great way to foster teamwork among young children and make sleepovers more fun for everyone involved. Bunks that include desks are ideal for older children and teenagers because they combine 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 ages.

Some bunk beds feature ladders that attach to the sides, while others incorporate stairs into the frame. Staircases are a good option for older children and teenagers because they are more secure than standard ladders, and provide an elegant, modern design. You can also customize your bunk beds by selecting a color scheme that matches the character of your children or the style of your rest room.

If you're purchasing an wooden bed you can paint it to match the color scheme of your children's rooms or stain it to maintain the natural appearance.

Stores Most bunk beds are characterized by their ability to increase the amount of space in the bedroom of your child. This is achieved by putting two mattresses on top of each other.

When selecting a bunk bed, you should also consider its construction. Certain models are constructed of a mixture of medium density fibreboard and kiln dried hardwood. While the former is less expensive and can offer a more contemporary look, the latter can be more robust and durable. Bunks that have trundle beds are an excellent option for sleepovers. Some come with the option of adding an additional trundle bed to an additional configuration. These beds can accommodate up to three children or adults. This is perfect for a bedroom shared by two people that creates family bonds and friendships. The color and style are the final aspects to take into consideration. Crisp whites, neutral greys and muted finishes in clay can all be paired with any decor for bedrooms. A clean white bunk is a good choice for colorful, cottage or coastal bedrooms. A neutral gray or clay finish will go with any palette as your child grows.
