Buying Bunk Beds Kids

Bunk beds let siblings share a room without compromising their privacy and are an ideal option for sleepovers. Depending on the model you select, these beds could have stairs or ladders to access the top bunk and they can be constructed using a variety of materials including wood and metal.

Size

Check the dimensions of your room with the measurements of a bunk bed before you purchase it. It is important to ensure that there's enough space for kids to climb up and down the ladder (or stairs if the bunk has stairs) and to move around the loft without bumping into furniture or walls. It's also important to consider the height of the bunk bed and headroom in relation to your children's standing and sitting height. You might need to purchase a smaller bunk to fit younger children, while older children might prefer a taller setup.

Bunk beds for kids are available in two different configurations twin-overtwin and full-overfull. Both are excellent options for accommodating multiple kids in a single room. Some bunks include an trundle that can accommodate additional guests for sleepovers. If your children are still young, consider a low-level bunk bed, so that the bottom bunk isn't more than 50 inches above the floor. This will keep children from falling out of bed, which could be a risk to their safety.

The distance between the top bunk and the guardrails is another aspect to take into consideration. The CPSC recommends that the the top mattress not be more than 5 inches above the guardrail. This will prevent your children from slipping out of bed during the middle of the night and crashing into the guardrails. This can cause entrapment, or even a fall.

The best bunk beds for kids are built with sturdy materials and are in compliance with CPSC safety standards, according to Ganjian. You'll also want to look at the construction of each bed to make sure that it's made of high-quality wood and isn't too flimsy or unstable. Some of the higher-end bunk beds for kids also feature mortise and tenon joints, and are Greenguard Gold Certified.

If you're decorating an extra bedroom for guests, preparing an apartment for vacation, or bunking up your own kids, this triple bunk from Pottery Barn is a smart option. It's easy to set up with the included tools, and it can be converted into three free-standing beds if your kids outgrow the arrangement. It comes in a neutral finish that can be paired with both vibrant and muted colors, like brushed gray or weathered blue.

Safety

A bunk bed is an exciting and fun element to add to a child's space, but it can be dangerous if it's not properly assembled or used. Bunk bed-related injuries can occur at any age however they're most likely to happen to kids under six. It is crucial to adhere to the safety and assembly instructions and use the correct mattress size, and position the bunk beds so that they do not interfere with windows, heaters or hanging lights. It is a good idea to check the bed for signs of wear and tear and make repairs should they be required.

The top bunk's height should be limited to four feet. There should be a guardrail on both sides of the bed. The gap between guardrails shouldn't be more than 3 1/2 inches to prevent death by suffocation. This will also ensure that your child doesn't fall under the guardrail when sleeping. The bottom mattress should be secured by wires or slats that run directly underneath the bunk. They should also be secured at both ends. This will stop your child from falling through gaps.

Ladders and stairs should be securely attached to bunk beds and offer a safe way to get to the top level. Make sure that the ladder is not near any hazards and that your children understand to use it only for climbing into bed, not as a play area. Also, discourage rough playing on the bunks because this can compromise the stability of the structure.

There is no 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 in the top bunk until they're at least six years old and are able to sit still during sleep. If you aren't sure about your child's capacity to climb onto the top bunk, consider a twin/full-size bunk instead.

Style

Bunk beds are a great method for children to share space with their siblings and make the most of their space. They're also a great way to inspire teamwork in younger children and can make sleepovers more enjoyable for everyone involved. Bunks that include desks are perfect for teenagers and older kids because they incorporate sleeping and studying furniture into one. Bunks with stairs or ladders will make climbing up to the top of the bed safer and easier for kids of all age groups. You can personalize your bed by selecting the dimensions, style, and other features you prefer.

The kind of mattress you choose will determine the comfort of your bunk bed. At Slumberland we have an array of premium mattresses for all kinds of bunk beds. We offer innerspring, hybrid, memory foam and other types of mattresses of all sizes.

Stairs and ladders are another design features you should be thinking about, along with safety rails and additional storage. Some bunk beds have standard ladders that attach to the side of the frame, and others feature a set of stairs that are built into the frame. Staircases are a good option for teenagers and older children because they are more secure than standard ladders, and provide modern, sleek design.

You can also customize the bunks by selecting a color scheme that matches your children's personalities or the style of the rest of the room. Some bunk beds are finished in white, while others are made in natural or dark cherry wood. If you're purchasing a bed made of wood you can paint it to match the colors of your children's rooms or stain it to keep an authentic appearance.

To add a custom design to your bunks, you can get decorative lighting that matches the theme or design of the room. You can install recessed lights in the ceiling, for example to give plenty of lighting without taking up floor space. If you have a metal or wooden bunk bed, you might be able to add swag lights that hang from the ceiling. They offer softer lighting.

Storage

Most bunk beds are characterized by their capacity to increase the amount of space in the bedroom of your child. This is achieved by stacking two mattresses on top of one other. The design usually allows the beds to remain stacked while your kids grow into teens and tweens or can be divided into separate free-standing bed frames. This is ideal for families who are often moving or living in a smaller home.

The bunk beds are available in different configurations. They include the classic 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 too and some include a step ladder that sits at an angle for easier climbing, or a staircase with built-in drawers that allow for out-of-sight storage.

When you are choosing a bunk bed, it is important to be aware of the structure. Certain models are constructed of a combination medium-density fibreboard and kiln dried hardwood. The former is more affordable and can have an updated look, but the latter can be more durable and strong.

Bunks with trundle beds are ideal for sleepovers. Some have the capacity to add an additional trundle bed to another configuration. These models can easily sleep three children or adults, which can be ideal for a room shared that fosters friendships and family bonding while maximizing the use of space.

The last thing to think about when choosing a bunk bed is the style and color that you choose, with bright whites, neutral grays, and muted clay finishes offering various aesthetic options that will complement any style of bedroom. A clean white bunk is a fantastic choice for colorful, cottage or coastal bedrooms. A neutral gray or clay finish will go with any palette as your child develops.

While the cost of a bunk bed will vary, most models feature an affordable price which is comparable to other kinds of furniture for bedrooms. The cheaper bunk beds are constructed with less durable materials, however many of our top-rated models are durable enough to last through childhood and beyond.
