Buying Bunk Beds Kids

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

Size

When you are looking for a bunk bed, be sure to take precise measurements and compare them with the dimensions of your room. You'll want to ensure there's plenty of space for your children to climb up and down the ladder (or stairs if your bunk includes them) and to move around the loft without bumping into furniture or walls. It's also important to take into consideration the bunk bed height and headroom in relation to your kids' standing and sitting height. It may be necessary to purchase a shorter bunk to accommodate children who are younger, while older kids may prefer a higher-upset.

Bunk beds for kids generally come in two different configurations including twin-overtwin and full-overfull. Both are excellent options to accommodate multiple children in one room. Some bunks have the option of a trundle to allow for guests who aren't sleeping. If your kids are young, consider a low-level bunk bed, so that the lowest bunk is not more than 50 inches above the floor. This will stop children from falling out of bed, which can be a risk to their safety.

Another thing to take into consideration is the amount of clearance between the top bunk and the guardrails. The CPSC recommends that the height of the mattress on top should not be more than 5 inches above the guardrail. This will prevent your children from rolling out of their mattress during the night and crashing into the guardrails, which can cause entrapment or falls.

The best bunk beds for kids are made of sturdy materials and are in compliance with CPSC safety standards, says Ganjian. It is also important to check out the construction of each bed to ensure it's constructed from high-quality wood and isn't flimsy or unstable. Some of the higher-end bunk beds for children come with mortise and Tenon joinery, and are Greenguard Gold Certified.

This triple bunk bed from Pottery Barn will work well for a guest room or as a holiday home or even to bunk your kids. It is easy to assemble and comes with all the necessary tools. If your kids outgrow it, you can convert it into three beds that stand on their own. It's available in a soothing neutral finish that blends seamlessly into both muted and vibrant color schemes, including distressed navy and brushed gray.

Safety

A bunk bed can be an exciting and enjoyable addition to a child's room However, it can also be dangerous if it's not correctly assembled or used. Bunk bed-related injuries can occur at any age however, they are most common to children younger than 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 that they do not interfere with windows, heaters or hanging lights. It's also an excellent idea to regularly inspect the bunk bed for signs of wear and tear and then make repairs as needed.

The height of the top bunk should be limited to 4 feet. There should be guardrails at both ends of the bed. The gap between guardrails shouldn't be more than 3 1/2 inches to prevent the risk of suffocation. This will also ensure that your child isn't able to roll under the guardrail when sleeping. The mattress at the bottom should be supported by slats or wires that are directly beneath the bunk and secured securely at both ends to avoid the possibility of a gap that your child could fall through.

Ladders or stairs should be affixed to the bunk bed and secure, and provide a safe method of climbing up to the higher level. Be sure that the ladder isn't located near any dangers and that your kids are aware that they only need it to climb into the bed. Also, avoid rough play on the bunks because this could cause damage to the stability of the structure.

There isn't a specific age at when children are old enough for bunk beds, but many experts suggest that kids should not sleep in the top bunk until they are at minimum six years old and able to stand still while sleeping. If you're unsure whether your child is ready to climb up the top bunk, go for a twin or full size bunk.

Style

Bunk beds are a great option for kids to share space with their siblings and maximize their room. They are also a great way to foster teamwork among younger children and make sleepovers more enjoyable for everyone involved. Bunks that include desks are perfect for teenagers and older children because they incorporate sleeping and studying furniture into one. Bunks that have stairs or ladders make it easier and safer for children to climb up to the top bunk. You can personalize your bed by choosing the dimensions, style, and other features that you would like to have.

The type of mattress that you select will determine the comfort level of your bunk bed. Slumberland has a wide selection of mattresses with the best quality for all types of bunk beds. We have innerspring, hybrid memory foam, and many other kinds of mattresses in all sizes.

The ladders and stairs are two other options to be thinking about, along with safety rails and storage. Some bunk beds feature ladders that connect to the sides, whereas others have stairs built into the frame. Staircases have a contemporary and sleek appearance and are safer than conventional ladders.

You can also customize the bunks by selecting a color scheme that matches your children's personalities or the decor of the other rooms. Some bunk beds are finished in white, while others are finished in natural or dark cherry wood. If you're buying a wooden bed, you can choose to paint it to match the color scheme of your kids' rooms or stain it for a natural look.





You can add a personal accent to your bunk beds by purchasing decorative lighting that is in line with the theme or design. For instance, recessed lights can be hung from the ceiling to provide plenty of light without occupying floor space. If you have a metal or wooden bunk bed, you might also want to add swag lights that hang from the ceiling. They offer soft lighting.

Stores

Most bunk beds are characterized by their capacity to increase the space in the bedroom of your child. This is achieved by putting two mattresses on top of each other. The design usually allows the beds to be stacked until your kids get older and tweens or can be separated into separate free-standing beds, which is perfect for families who might move frequently or have smaller spaces in their homes.

These versatile bunk beds also come in a variety of configurations, including 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 set up in various heights, and some even have a step-ladder inclined to make it easier to climb.

When selecting a bunk bed , you should also consider its construction. Certain models are constructed of a combination medium-density fibreboard and kiln dried hardwood. The former is more affordable and can have a more modern look, but the latter can be more durable and strong.

Bunks that have trundle mattresses are ideal for sleepovers. Some models allow you to add an additional trundle in another configuration. These models can sleep up to three children or adults. This is perfect for bedrooms that share space, which encourages family bonds and fosters friendships.

A bunk bed's color and design are the last factors to consider. Crisp whites, neutral grays, and muted clay finishes can all be paired with any bedroom decor. A white, crisp bunk bed is an excellent choice for coastal, cottage or bright bedrooms and a neutral gray or clay option will blend seamlessly with various colors as your child grows and matures into a mature person.

Although bunk beds can vary in cost, they are typically priced at a reasonable level that is comparable to other kinds of bedroom furniture. A few of the less expensive models are made from cheaper materials, whereas the majority of our top-rated bunk beds are built to last enough to last for the duration of childhood and beyond.
