Buying Bunk Beds Kids

Bunk beds for kids allow siblings to share a space without compromising their privacy and are a great option for sleepovers. These beds can include ladders or stairs that can be used to reach the top bunk, and are made from wood and metal.

Size

Compare the dimensions of your room to the dimensions of a bunk bed before you purchase it. You'll want to ensure 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 bumping into furniture or walls. Also, you should consider the height of the bunk bed as well as headroom in relation with your child's standing and sitting height. You might need to buy an earlier-than-average bunk bed to accommodate younger kids while older kids may prefer a higher configuration.

Bunk beds for children are available in two different configurations - twin-overtwin or full-overfull. Both are great to accommodate multiple kids in one room. Some bunks come with a trundle to accommodate additional guests for sleepovers. If your children are young, you should look for a low bunk so that the bottom bunk is not more than 50 inches off the ground. This will stop your children from falling out of their beds, which is a safety hazard.

The distance between the top bunk and guardrails is another important factor to consider. The CPSC recommends that the top bunk's mattress to be no more than 5 inches higher than the guardrail. This will prevent your kids from rolling out of their mattress in the middle of the night and falling into guardrails, which could cause accidents or entrapment.

Safety

Bunk beds are a fun and exciting addition to any child's bedroom however, they can be dangerous if not properly assembled or used. Bunk bed injuries can happen to children of any age however they are the most frequent in children younger than six. It is important to follow the manufacturer's assembly instructions and safety instructions, make sure you use the correct size mattress and position the bunk bed in a way that it does not block windows or heaters. It is also advisable to avoid hanging lighting fixtures. It's also a good idea to regularly inspect the bunk bed for any signs of wear and tear and then make repairs as needed.

The top bunk's height should be limited to four feet. There should be a guardrail on both sides of the bed. The space between guardrails shouldn't be greater than 3 1/2 inches to avoid suffocation. This will also ensure that your child cannot slide under the guardrail while sleeping. The mattress at the bottom should be supported by wires or slats that are placed directly under the bunk and secured securely at both ends to avoid the possibility of a gap that your child may fall through.

Ladders and stairs should be securely attached to the bunk beds and offer a safe way to get to the top level. Be sure that the ladder isn't near any dangers, and that your children know they can only use it to get into bed. Avoid rough play on the bunks, since this could compromise their stability.

There isn't a specific age at that children are considered to be too old to be able to sleep in bunk beds, but many experts advise that children should not sleep in the top bunk until they are at least six years old and are able to sit still when sleeping. If you aren't sure about your child's capacity to climb onto the top bunk, consider a full-size or twin bunk instead.

Style

Bunk beds are a great method for kids to share space with their siblings and maximize their room. They can also be a fun way to make sleepovers for all involved. Bunks with desks are great for teens and older children because they can combine sleep and study furniture in one. Bunks that have ladders or stairs allow climbing up to the top of the bed safer and easier for children of all different ages. You can personalize your bunk bed by choosing the size, style, and other features you'd like to have.

The ladders and stairs are two other style features that you should be thinking about, along with safety rails and extra storage. Some bunk beds come with ladders that are attached to the sides, while others have stairs built right into the frame. Staircases are a better option for older children and teenagers because they are more secure than standard ladders and offer an elegant, modern design.

You can also personalize the bunks by selecting the color scheme that best matches your kids' personalities or the style of the rest of the room. Some bunk beds are painted in white, while others are made in dark cherry wood or natural wood. If you're purchasing a wooden bunk bed you can paint it to match your children rooms or pick a stain to keep the natural appearance.

To add a custom design to your bunks, you can buy decorative lighting that matches the theme or style of the room.
