Bunk beds for kids are a great way to allow siblings to share one room without compromising personal space. They can also be used as an ideal option for hosting sleepovers. They can also have stairs or ladders to reach the top bunk, and are constructed from wood and metal.

Size

Check the dimensions of your room to the measurements of a bunk bed before you purchase it. It is important to ensure that there's enough space for your kids to climb the ladder or stairs (if they're part of the set) and move around the loft without crashing into furniture or walls. You should also be aware of the size of the bunk bed and headroom in relation with your child's standing and sitting height. It may be necessary to purchase an earlier-sized bunk to accommodate children who are younger, while older children might prefer a higher-upset.

Bunk beds for kids generally come in two configurations including twin-overtwin and full-overfull. Both are excellent choices for accommodating multiple children in one room. Some bunks have an trundle that can accommodate guests who aren't sleeping. If your children are young, you should choose a lower-level bunk bed that's bottom bunk does not exceed 50 inches above the floor. This will stop your children from falling out of their beds, which is a safety hazard.

Another feature to consider is the amount of space between the top bunk and the guardrails. The CPSC recommends the top bunk's mattress to be no more than 5 inches above guardrail. This will stop your children from falling out of bed in the middle of the night and into the guardrails, which can cause entrapment or falls.

Bunk bed injuries can happen to children of all ages however they are the most common among children younger than six. It is essential to follow the safety and assembly guidelines and use the correct mattress size, and place the bunk beds so that they don't interfere with windows, heaters or hanging lights. It's also recommended 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, and there are guardrails on both sides of the bed. The space between guardrails shouldn't be wider than 3 1/2 inch to prevent suffocation. This will also ensure that your child cannot slide under the guardrail while sleeping. The bottom mattress should be supported by wires or slats that are directly beneath the bunk. They should be fastened securely at both ends to prevent a gap where 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 the ladder isn't in close proximity to any dangers and that your kids are aware that they should only use it to get into bed. Avoid rough play on the bunks, since this could compromise their stability.

However, many experts recommend that children not sleep on the top bunk until they are at least six years old age and are old enough to sleep in a still position. If you are unsure of your child's readiness to climb up the top bunk, you could consider an adult-sized or twin bunk.
