Buying Bunk Beds Kids

Bunk beds for kids allow siblings to share a space without compromising their privacy and can be an ideal option for sleepovers. Based on the model you select, these beds could have stairs or ladders that access the top bunk, and they can be made out of a variety like wood and metal.

Size

When looking for a bunk bed, make sure you take precise measurements and compare them to the dimensions of your room. You'll need to make sure there's enough room for your kids to climb the stairs or ladder (if they're part of the set) and move around the loft without bumping into furniture or walls. It is also important to be aware of the height of the bunk bed and headroom in relation with your child's standing and sitting height. You might need to purchase an earlier-sized bunk to accommodate children who are younger, while older children might prefer a higher setup.

Bunk beds for kids are available in two configurations - twin-overtwin or full-overfull. Both are excellent options to accommodate multiple children in one room. Some bunks include a trundle to accommodate additional guests for sleepovers. If your kids are still young, consider an extremely low bunk, with a bottom bunk that is less than 50 inches away from the ground. This will stop children from falling out of bed, which can be a safety risk.

The distance between the top bunk and guardrails is another important aspect to take into consideration. The CPSC recommends that the the top mattress be no more than 5 inches higher than the guardrail. This will stop your child from slipping out of bed in the middle night and into the guardrails. This could result in entrapment, or even an accident.

The space between the guardrails should not be wider than 3 1/2 inches to avoid the risk of suffocation, and to ensure that your child can't fall under the guardrail when sleeping. The mattress at the bottom must be supported with wires or slats extending directly beneath the bunk. They must also be secured on both ends. This will stop your child from falling through the gap.
