Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds for kids are a great option to let siblings share a room without compromising personal space. They can also be an ideal option for hosting sleepovers. Depending on the model that you choose, these beds may have stairs or ladders that access the top bunk and they can be constructed out of a variety including metal and wood. Size When shopping for a bunk bed make sure you take precise measurements and compare them to your room dimensions. It is important to ensure that there's plenty of space for your children to climb up and down the ladder (or stairs if your bunk includes them) and to maneuver around the loft without crashing into furniture or walls. It's also important to consider the bed's height and headroom in relation to your kids' standing and sitting height. You might need to purchase a smaller bunk to fit younger children, while older children might prefer a higher setup. Bunk beds for kids are available in two configurations – twin-overtwin or full-overfull. Both are great options to accommodate multiple children in one room. Some bunks include a trundle bed to accommodate more guests at sleepovers. If your children are still young, you should choose a lower-level bunk bed that's lowest bunk is not more than 50 inches above the floor. This will prevent your children from falling out of their beds, which can be an accident hazard. Another thing to take into consideration is the amount of space between the top bunk and the guardrails. The CPSC recommends the top bunk's mattress to not be higher than 5 inches over the guardrail. This will prevent your kids from rolling out of their mattress in the middle of the night and into the guardrails, which could lead to injuries or falls. Ganjian says that the top bunk beds are made with solid materials and meet CPSC safety standards. You'll also want to check out the design of each bed to ensure it's constructed from high-quality wood and isn't flimsy or unstable. Some of the most expensive bunk beds for kids also come with mortise-and-tenon joinery, and are Greenguard Gold Certified for meeting the strictest standards for chemical emissions. This triple bunk bed from Pottery Barn will work well for a guest room or a home for vacation, or even to bunk your children. It's simple to put together with the included tools, and it can be converted into three beds that stand on their own in the event that your children outgrow the arrangement. It's available in a neutral finish that can be paired with both vibrant and muted colors, like weathered blue or brushed gray. Safety A bunk bed is an exciting and fun element to add to a child's space, but it can be dangerous if it isn't properly assembled or used. Bunk bed-related injuries may occur at any age however, they are most common to children under the age of six. It is essential to follow the manufacturer's assembly and safety guidelines, use the correct size mattress and place the bunk bed in a way that it does not interfere with windows, heaters or hanging light fixtures. It is also a good idea to regularly check the bunk bed for signs of wear and tear and make repairs as needed. 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 guardrails should not be wider than 3 ½ inches to avoid suffocation. This will also ensure that your child cannot roll under the guardrail when sleeping. The mattress on the bottom should be supported by slats or wires that are placed directly under the bunk and secured with a secure nut at both ends to avoid a gap where your child may fall through. The ladders and stairs must be securely attached to bunk beds and provide a safe method to climb up to the highest level. Make sure the ladder isn't located near any dangers, and that your children know they can only use it to get into bed. Also, avoid rough play on the bunks as it could affect the stability of the structure. There isn't a specific age at which children are too old to be able to sleep in bunk beds, but many experts recommend that children should not sleep on the top bunk until they're at least six years old and mature enough to stay still during sleep. If you're unsure whether your child is able to climb up the top bunk, opt for a twin or full size bunk. Style Bunk beds allow kids to share a room and remain close to their peers while making the most of space. They can also be an enjoyable way to host sleepovers for all involved. Bunks that have desks are ideal for teens and older children since they incorporate sleep and study furniture in one. Bunks with ladders or stairs make it safer and easier for kids to climb to the top bunk. You can customize your bunk bed by choosing the size, style, and other features you'd like to have.

Stairs and ladders are another design features you should consider, as well as safety rails and storage. Some bunk beds feature standard ladders that attach to the sides of the frame, while others feature a set of stairs that are built into the frame. full bunk beds have a modern and sleek design and are more secure than conventional ladders. You can also personalize the bunks by selecting an appropriate color scheme to match your kids' personalities or the decor of the rest of the room. Some bunk beds are available with white finishes, whereas others are available in natural or dark cherry wood finishes. If you're buying an wooden bed, you can choose to paint it to be in line with the color scheme of your children's rooms or stain it to maintain the natural look. You can add a personal design to your bunk beds by purchasing decorative lighting that is in line with the theme or design. For instance, recessed lighting can be hung from the ceiling to give ample light without taking up floor space. If you're using a metal or wood bunk bed you can also add swag lighting that hangs from the ceiling and gives soft light. Storage The most distinctive feature of bunk beds is their capacity to create more space in your child's bedroom by stacking two beds on top of the other. These beds can be stacked the duration of time your children are young or until they reach the age of tweenhood, or they can be separated to make individual bed frames. This is a great option for families that move frequently or have a small house. These bunk beds are available in a variety of configurations. They include the standard twin over twin full over twin, and queen over queen (like Crate & Barrrel Babyletto TipToe White and Waxed Natural Wood Bunk Bed). They can be constructed with different heights, with some including an incline ladder that is set at an angle to make it easier climbing, or a staircase with built-in drawers that allow for out-of-sight storage. Another thing to consider when selecting the best bunk bed is its structure, with certain models combining medium-density fiberboard and kiln dried hardwood. While the former is more affordable and has an updated look while the latter is more robust and durable. Bunks with mattresses that trundle are a great option for sleepovers. Some models let you add an additional trundle in another configuration. These beds can accommodate up to three adults or children. This is ideal for bedrooms that share space, which helps strengthen family bonds and encourages friendships. The color of a bunk bed and its style are the final factors to consider. Crisp whites, neutral greys and muted finishes in clay can be combined with any bedroom decor. A white, crisp bunk is a great option for bright, cottage or coastal bedrooms. A neutral gray or clay finish will go with any palette as your child gets older. Although bunk beds vary in price, they are generally priced at a price that is comparable to other kinds of furniture for bedrooms. Some of the lower-priced models are constructed of less expensive materials, while many of our top-rated bunk beds are built to last enough to last throughout childhood and beyond.
