Buying Bunk Beds Kids

Bunk beds for children are a great option to let siblings share a space without compromising their personal space. They can also be a great option when hosting sleepovers. They can be equipped with ladders or stairs that can be used to reach 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. It is important to ensure that there's enough space for your children to climb up and down the ladder (or stairs in the case of bunks that have stairs) and move around the loft without running into walls or furniture. It's also important to consider the height of the bunk bed and headroom in relation to your kids standing and sitting height. You may have to purchase an earlier-than-average bunk bed to accommodate smaller children, while older children may prefer a higher configuration.

Bunk beds for kids are available in two styles either full-overfull or twin-overtwin. Both are great options for accommodating multiple children in one room. Some bunks also include the option of a trundle bed for more guests at sleepovers. If your kids are still young, you should look for a low bunk to ensure that the bunk at the bottom is less than 50 inches away from the ground. This will keep children from falling out of bed, which could be a danger to safety.

Another thing to take into consideration is the clearance between the top bunk and the guardrails. The CPSC recommends that the the top mattress not be greater than 5 inches over the guardrail. This will stop your children from falling out of bed during the middle of the night and falling into the guardrails. This could lead to entrapment, or even the possibility of falling.

It is recommended also to regularly inspect the bed for signs of wear and make repairs should they be required.

The height of the top bunk should be limited to four feet. There should be a guardrail on both sides of the bed. The space between the guardrails should not be larger than 3 1/2 inches to avoid suffocation and make sure that your child isn't able to slide under the guardrail while sleeping. The bottom mattress should be held up with wires or slats extending directly underneath the bunk. They must also be secured on both ends. This will prevent your child from falling through gaps.

Ladders and stairs should be securely attached to bunk beds and provide a safe method to climb up to the highest level. Make sure that the ladder isn't near any dangers and that your children are aware that they should use it only to climb into bed, not as a play area. Also, avoid rough play on the bunks since it could affect the structural stability.

There isn't a specific age at when children are old enough for bunk beds, however many experts suggest that kids shouldn't sleep on the top bunk until they're at minimum six years old, and mature enough to stay still during sleep.

Style

Bunk beds allow kids to share a space and remain close to their peers while making the most of space. They are also an enjoyable way to host sleepovers for everyone involved. Bunks with desks are great for teenagers and older children because they can combine the study and sleep furniture in one.

Some bunk beds have ladders that connect to the sides, whereas others have stairs built right into the frame. Staircases offer a more modern and sleek design and are safer than standard ladders.

You can also personalize the bunks by selecting the color scheme that best matches your children's personalities or the decor of the other rooms. Some bunk beds come with white finishes, whereas others are available in natural or dark cherry wood finishes.

To add a custom touch to your bunks, you can get decorative lighting that will match the theme or design of the room.

If you're using a steel or wood bunk bed, you could also consider adding swag lighting that hangs from the ceiling and gives soft lighting.

Storage

Most bunk beds are characterized by their ability to increase the space available in your child's bedroom. This is achieved by stacking two mattresses on top of one other. The design often allows these beds to be stacked until your kids grow into teens and tweens or can be separated into individual free-standing beds, which is ideal for families that might move frequently or have smaller homes.

Bunks with trundle mattresses are a great option for sleepovers. Certain models allow for the addition of another trundle with an alternative configuration. These beds can accommodate up to three children or adults. This is perfect for a bedroom shared by two people that encourages family bonds and fosters friendships.

The color and design are the last aspects to take into consideration. Crisp whites, neutral greys and muted clay finishes can be combined with any style of bedroom. A crisp white bunk is a fantastic option for cottage, vibrant or coastal bedrooms. A neutral gray or a clay finish can work with any color scheme as your child gets older.
