Choosing a Small Bunk Bed For Kids





Bunk beds can give a sense of adventure to your child's room. They also help you save space in small rooms.

Look for bunk beds that have side rails, stairs, or ladders that are made of durable materials and are securely attached to the frame.

Some models have additional storage space to store toys or clothes. Certain models can be converted into two beds. These are especially beneficial for families with growing children.

Size

A bunk or loft bed for kids can free up floor space to play while adding a wow-factor to their bedroom. For smaller rooms, opt for the low bunk style that sits just two inches off the ground. If you require more space, go for a twin over full or twin loft bed that has a desk and shelves built into. You can also get a bunk bed that sleeps three children at once (just ensure that you have enough ceiling space for the triple option).

Bunk beds are extremely popular, especially for children who share the same bedroom or have a limited space.

Safety

Bunk beds are popular because they are space-saving, but they also pose a security danger to youngsters who aren't old enough to be able to sleep on the top bunk. Kids can fall off the side of the bed or be caught in the gap between the ladder and the bottom mattress. If you want to ensure that your children are sleeping safely, choose a bunk bed that meets national safety standards. It should be inspected by an independent testing laboratory.

Check that the mattress has guard rails along both sides, with gaps that are not greater than 3.5 inches wide to avoid strangulation. Make sure the mattress's foundation is sturdy and not too deep, because a mattress that is too deep could cause the guard rails to fall down. Also avoid bunk beds with ladders that extend over the frame. They are more susceptible to get caught in curtains or other objects. Children should never climb or play on the bunk bed or side. Also, they should not use toys or other items on or near the ladder. The best location for bunk beds is in the corner of the room, so that the beds are hugged on both sides by walls. It is also essential to keep bunk beds free from hanging lights or ceiling fans as they can be dangerous if someone falls and bumps their head when they are lying upright in the bed.

Stairs or ladders must be securely anchored to the bunk bed and have anti-entrapment features to prevent accidents when climbing up and down. It's recommended to have a solid area for children to climb and fall down, such as carpet or a stair runner.

It is essential to teach children the rules to follow when using bunk beds, like not jumping on or playing on them and only using them to sleep. Also, teach children to use the ladder only to climb up and down, not for an exercise stool or climbing frame. Children should also be taught not to hang items such as belts, scarves, jump ropes, or decorations from the bunk beds, since they can cause strangulation.

Convenience

If you have two children sharing in a room and want to share a bed, a bunk bed is an excellent solution to make space and make it easier for them to sleep at night. But, it's essential to consider the safety characteristics of each bunk bed prior to making a purchase. Some bunk beds are equipped with stairs, while others come with ladders. Both are useful however you must be sure that they're made of solid wood and won't be able to fall apart or cause a hazard when used. Staircases are typically more secure than ladders, as they are built into the main frame of the bed. Ladders pose a risk to young kids, as they can be easy to climb and can cause falls when they are not secured properly.

Another fantastic bunk bed comfort feature is a trundle, that allows you to create an additional sleeping space for guests. This is a great choice for children who love to host sleepovers with their friends, and can also to eliminate the need for an additional dresser or chest of drawers in a tiny bedroom. Most bunk beds have a trundle as part of the overall bed however, you can also find trundles that are separate and be able to fit under the bunk below to provide your children with more storage space in their bedroom.

Some bunk bed models even include a desk, which makes it easy for your kids to work or study right in their own room. This is a great convenience for children who are in school and must continue their studies. It will also aid them in developing good habits of work that they can carry forward into the future. Bunk bed models with a desk can also be used as the perfect place for children to have their own playroom, which can encourage children to spend more time with their friends and family members outside of school.
