Buying Bunk Beds Kids

Bunk beds for children are a great option to allow siblings to share a space without compromising their personal space. They can also be an ideal option for hosting sleepovers. Based on the model you choose, these beds might have stairs or ladders to access the top bunk, and they can be crafted from a variety of materials including wood and metal.

Size

Compare the dimensions of your room with the dimensions of a bunk bed prior to you buy it. You'll need to ensure that there's enough room for kids to climb up and down the ladder (or stairs if the bunk has stairs) and to 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 sitting and standing height. You might need to buy a shorter bunk bed to accommodate children younger than them and older children might prefer a higher-setup.

Bunk beds for kids usually come in two configurations: twin-over-twin and full-over-full. Both are great options to accommodate multiple children in a single room. Some bunks come with an trundle bed that can accommodate more guests at sleepovers. If your kids are young, choose a low-level bunk bed that's bottom bunk isn't more than 50 inches above the floor. This will keep your children from falling out of their beds, which can be an accident hazard.

Another feature to consider is the clearance between the top bunk and the guardrails. The CPSC recommends that the the mattress on top should not be more than 5 inches above the guardrail. This will prevent your kids from rolling out of their bed in the middle of the night and crashing into the guardrails, which could cause injuries or falls.

The best bunk beds for kids are constructed with durable materials and are in compliance with CPSC safety standards, says Ganjian. Examine the construction of every bunk bed to make sure it's made with quality woods and isn't fragile or unstable. Some of the higher-end bunk beds for kids come with mortise and Tenon joinery and are Greenguard Gold Certified.

The triple bunk bed from Pottery Barn will work well for a guest room or a home for vacation, or even to bunk up your kids. It's simple to assemble and comes with all the required tools. If your kids outgrow it, you can convert it into three beds that stand on their own. It's a relaxing neutral finish that blends into both muted and vibrant shades, including distressed navy and brushed gray.

Safety

A bunk bed can be an exciting and fun feature for a child's bedroom however, it can be dangerous if it isn't correctly assembled or used. Bunk bed-related injuries can occur at any age however they're most likely to happen to children under the age of six. It is essential to adhere to the safety and assembly guidelines as well as use the appropriate mattress size, and position the bunk beds in a way they aren't in conflict with windows, heaters or hanging lights. It is recommended to check the bed for signs of wear and repair should they be required.

The top bunk's height should be kept to a maximum of four feet, and there are guardrails on both sides of the bed. The space between the guardrails should be no greater than 3 1/2 inches to avoid death and make sure that your child isn't able to roll under the guardrail while sleeping. The bottom mattress should be secured by wires or slats that run directly beneath the bunk. They must also be secured on both ends. This will prevent your child from falling through gaps.

The ladders and stairs must be securely attached to the bunk beds and provide a safe method to climb to the top level. Be sure that the ladder isn't located near any dangers and that your children are aware that they should only use it to climb up into the bed. Also, avoid rough play on the bunks as it could affect the stability of the structure.

There isn't an age at when children are old enough to be able to sleep in bunk beds, but many experts advise that children should not sleep on the top bunk until they're at minimum six years old, and mature enough to stay still during sleep. If you're not sure whether your child is able to climb up the top bunk, opt for a twin/full size bunk.

Style

Bunk beds allow kids to share a space and remain close to their siblings while maximizing space. They can also be an enjoyable way to organize sleepovers for everyone involved. Bunks with desks are great for teens and older children because they combine sleep and study furniture in one. Bunks with stairs or ladders can make climbing up to the top of the bed safer and easier for children of all ages. You can customize your bunk bed by choosing the size, style, and other features you'd like.

The type of mattress you select will determine the level of comfort your bunk bed will be. At Slumberland, we offer a wide selection of premium-quality mattresses for all kinds of bunk beds. We offer innerspring, hybrid memory foam, and various other types of mattresses of all sizes.

Stairs and ladders are another design features you should think about, along with safety rails and additional storage. Some bunk beds have standard ladders that are attached to the sides of the frame, whereas others have a set of stairs that are built into the frame. Staircases are an ideal choice for older children and teenagers because they are more secure than standard ladders and offer a sleek, modern look.

You can also customize the bunks by choosing the color scheme that best matches your child's personality or the decor of the other rooms. Some bunk beds are available with white finishes, while others are available in dark cherry or natural wood finishes. If you're buying a wood bunk bed, you can paint it to match your children' rooms or choose stain to maintain the natural look.

You can add a personal touch to your bunk beds by investing in decorative lighting that is in line with the theme or style. For example, recessed lights can be hung from the ceiling to provide plenty of light without occupying floor space. If you're using a steel or wood bunk bed you can also include swag lighting, which hangs from the ceiling and offers an edgier lighting.

Storage

Most bunk beds are characterized by their capacity to increase the amount of space in the bedroom of your child. This is accomplished by stacking two mattresses on top of each other. The design often allows these beds to remain stacked while your children grow into teens and tweens or be divided into separate free-standing beds, which is ideal for families who may move often or have smaller homes.

These versatile bunk beds also come in a wide range of configurations, with traditional twin over twin and twin over full and queen over queen options available (like the Crate & Barrel Babyletto TipToe White and Washed Natural Wood Bunk Bed). They can be configured with different heights with some featuring a step ladder that sits at an angle for easier climbing, or a staircase that has built-in drawers that permit storage that is out of sight.

When you are choosing a bunk bed, it is important to be aware of the structure. Some models are made from a mix of medium-density fibreboard and kiln dried hardwood. While the former is less expensive and can offer more modern appearance while the latter is sturdier and more durable.

Bunks that have trundle beds are the ideal option for sleepovers. Some come with the option of adding an additional trundle bed in another configuration. These beds can accommodate up to three adults or children. This is perfect for bedrooms that share space, which helps strengthen family bonds and encourages friendships.

A bunk bed's color and style are the final aspects to take into consideration. Crisp whites, neutral greys and muted finishes in clay can be combined with any style of bedroom. A crisp white bunk is a good option for cottage, vibrant or coastal bedrooms. A neutral gray or a clay finish can work with any palette as your child gets older.

While the cost of a bunk bed can differ, the majority of models have a relatively reasonable price tag which is comparable to other kinds of furniture for bedrooms. Some of the lower-priced models are made from cheaper materials, whereas many of our top-rated bunk beds are built to last enough to last for the duration of the years of childhood and beyond.
