Buying Bunk Beds Kids
Bunk beds for children are a great way to let siblings share a room without compromising personal space. They can also be used as an ideal option for hosting sleepovers. These beds can include stairs or ladders to reach the top bunk, and are constructed from wood and metal.
Size
When you are looking for a bunk bed take careful measurements and compare them with the dimensions of your room. You'll need to make sure there is enough space for your children to climb the ladder or stairs (if they're included) and 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. You may have to purchase a bunk bed that is shorter to accommodate younger kids and older children might prefer a higher-setup.
Bunk beds for kids are available in two different configurations either full-overfull or twin-overtwin. Both are excellent choices for accommodating multiple kids in one room. Some bunks include a trundle to accommodate guests who aren't sleeping. If your kids are still young, look for an extremely low bunk, so that the bottom bunk is not more than 50 inches from the ground. This will prevent little ones from falling out of bed, which could be a safety risk.
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 greater than 5 inches over the guardrail. This will prevent your children from rolling out of bed during the middle of the night and crashing into the guardrails. This could lead to an entrapment or even a fall.
The most suitable bunk beds for children are constructed with durable materials and are in compliance with CPSC safety standards, according to Ganjian. You'll also want to look at the design of each bed to ensure that it's made of high-quality wood and isn't flimsy or unstable. Some of the higher-end bunk beds for kids feature mortise and tenon joints, and are Greenguard Gold Certified.
The triple bunk bed from Pottery Barn will work well as a guest bedroom, a vacation home, or even to bunk your kids. It's easy to put together and comes with all the required tools. If your children grow out of it, you can turn it into three beds that stand on their own. It's a relaxing neutral finish that blends seamlessly into both vibrant and muted colors, such as distressed navy and brushed gray.
Safety
A bunk bed is an exciting and fun addition to a child's room However, it can also be a risk if not properly assembled or used. Bunk bed injuries can occur to children of all ages however they are the most frequent in children younger than six. It is important to adhere to the manufacturer's safety and assembly guidelines as well as use the appropriate mattress size, and place the bunk beds so that they don't interfere with windows, heaters or hanging lights. It is also a good idea to regularly inspect the bunk bed for signs of wear and tear, and make repairs as required.
The top bunk's height should be restricted to four feet, and there are guardrails on both sides of the bed. The space between guardrails should not be wider than 3 1/2 inch to prevent suffocation. This will also ensure that your child cannot roll under the guardrail when sleeping. The bottom mattress should be supported by slats or wires that are placed directly under the bunk. They should be fastened with a strong bolt at both ends to avoid the possibility of a gap that your child could fall through.
The ladders or stairs must be attached to the bunk bed and secured and provide a safe method of climbing to the higher level. Make sure the ladder isn't in the vicinity of any dangers and that your children are aware that they should use it only to climb into bed, not to be used as a play area. Avoid rough play on the bunks, since this could compromise their stability.
It is impossible to determine the age for children to be in bunk beds. However, many experts suggest that children do not sleep on the top bunk until they are at least six years of age and are old enough to be able to stay still during sleep. If you are unsure about your child's readiness to climb up the top bunk, think about a twin/full-size bunk instead.
Style
Bunk beds allow kids to share a room and remain close to their siblings, while also maximizing space. They're also a great way to inspire teamwork in younger children and make sleepovers more enjoyable for everyone involved. Bunks that include desks are ideal for teenagers and older kids because they combine the study and sleeping furniture into one. Bunks with stairs or ladders can make climbing up to the top of the bed more secure and easy for kids of all ages. You can customize your bed by selecting the dimensions, style, and other features that you prefer.
The type of mattress that you choose will determine the comfort level of your bunk bed. At Slumberland, we offer a wide selection of premium-quality mattresses for all kinds of bunk beds. We offer innerspring, memory foam, and hybrid-type mattresses of all sizes, so you can find the perfect fit for your kids' or teens bunks.
Other design features to think about include stairs and ladders, safety rails, and other storage options. Some bunk beds feature ladders that connect along the side, while others incorporate stairs into the frame. Staircases have a contemporary and sleek appearance and are more secure than traditional ladders.
You can also customize your bunk beds by selecting a color scheme that matches the character of your children or the decor of your bathroom. Some bunk beds have white finishes, while others are available in dark cherry or natural wood finishes. If you're purchasing a wooden bunk bed, you can paint it to match your kids rooms or pick a stain to keep the natural look.
You can add a personal design to your bunk bed s by buying decorative lighting that is in line with the theme or design. You can install recessed lights in the ceiling, for example, to provide ample light without taking up floor space. If you're using a metal or wood bunk bed, you could also consider adding swag lighting that hangs from the ceiling and gives an edgier light.
Storage
The defining feature of most bunk beds is their ability to increase the space in your kids' bedroom by stacking two beds on top of the other. They can be stacked for as long as your children are young or until they reach the age of tweenhood, or they can be separated to create individual bed frames. This is ideal for families that move often or have a smaller home.
These versatile bunk beds also come in a wide range of configurations, including traditional twin over twin, twin over full, and queen over queen options available (like the Crate and Barrel Babyletto TipToe White & Washed Natural Wood Bunk Bed). Some are available with different heights, and some even include a step-ladder that is inclined to make it easier to climb.
Another thing to consider when selecting the best bunk bed is its construction, with some models combining medium-density fiberboard and kiln dried hardwood. While the former is cheaper and offers a more contemporary look, the latter can be more robust and durable.
Bunks with trundle mattresses are a great option for sleepovers. Some models allow you to add a second trundle in an alternative 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.
The last thing to think about when deciding on a bunk bed is the design and color with clean whites, neutral grays and muted clay options offering various aesthetic options that will complement any decor for bedrooms. A white, crisp bunk is a fantastic 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 will vary, most models feature an affordable price that's comparable to other similar kinds of furniture for bedrooms. Some of the cheaper models are constructed from less expensive materials, whereas many of our top-rated bunk beds are sturdy enough to last through childhood and beyond.
