Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds allow siblings to share a room without compromising their personal space and they can also be an ideal option for sleepovers. They can also have ladders or stairs that can be used to reach the top bunk, and are constructed of wood and metal. Size Compare the dimensions of your space with the dimensions of a bunk bed prior to you purchase it. 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 move around the loft without bumping 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 may need to buy a smaller bunk to fit smaller children, whereas older children might prefer a higher-upset. Bunk beds for kids generally come in two different configurations that are twin-over-twin or full-over-full. Both are great options to accommodate multiple children in one room. Some bunks come with an trundle that can accommodate additional guests during sleepovers. If your kids are still young, look for a low bunk so that the bottom bunk is not more than 50 inches off the ground. This will keep children from falling out of bed, which could be a danger to safety. Another thing to take into consideration is the amount of space between the top bunk and the guardrails. The CPSC recommends that the the top mattress 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 could cause injuries or falls. The best bunk beds for kids are made of sturdy materials and meet CPSC safety standards, says Ganjian. You'll also want to check out the design of each bed to ensure that it's made of high-quality wood and isn't too flimsy or unstable. Some of the top bunk beds for children have mortise and tenon joinery, and are Greenguard Gold Certified. The 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's easy to assemble with the included tools, and it can be converted into three separate beds if your kids outgrow the arrangement. It comes in a neutral finish that can be combined with both vibrant and muted colors, such as brushed gray or weathered blue. Safety Bunk beds are a fun and exciting feature for any child's bedroom However, they can also be dangerous if they are not correctly built or used. Bunk bed injuries can happen to children of any age however they are the most frequent in children younger than six years old. It is important to follow the manufacturer's assembly and safety instructions, make sure you use the correct mattress size and position the bed in a way that it does not hinder windows or heaters. It is also advisable to avoid hanging light fixtures. It is recommended to check the bed for signs of wear and repair if necessary. The height of the top bunk should be restricted to 4 feet. Also, there should be guardrails at both ends of the bed. The space between guardrails shouldn't be greater than 3 ½ inches to prevent suffocation. This will also ensure that your child cannot roll under the guardrail when sleeping. The mattress on the bottom should be supported by wires or slats that are directly beneath the bunk. They should be fastened 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. They must be secured and provide a safe method of climbing to the upper 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 an activity area. Avoid rough play on the bunks because it could affect their stability. There isn't a specific age at when children are old enough for bunk beds, but many experts recommend that children should not sleep on the top bunk until they are at minimum six years old, and able to stand still while sleeping. If double bunk bed are unsure of your child's ability to climb on the top bunk, think about an adult-sized or twin bunk. Style Bunk beds are a great option for kids to share space with their siblings and make the most of their space. They can also be an enjoyable way to host sleepovers for everyone involved. Bunks with desks are great for teenagers and older children because they can combine the study and sleep furniture in one. Bunks with ladders or stairs make it safer and easier for kids to climb up to the top bunk.

You can also personalize your bunk beds by choosing a color scheme to match the personal style of your children, or the decor of the bathroom. Some bunk beds are available with a white finish, while others are available in dark cherry or natural wood finishes. If you are buying a bed made of wood, you can choose to paint it to be in line with the color scheme of your children's rooms or stain it to keep an authentic appearance. You can add your own personal design to your bunk beds by purchasing decorative lighting that is in line with the theme or design. It is possible to install recessed lighting in the ceiling, for instance to let in plenty of light without taking up the floor space. If you're using a steel or wood bunk bed, you could also consider adding swag lighting that hangs from the ceiling and offers a softer light. Stores The most distinctive feature of bunk beds is their ability to make more space in your child's bedroom by stacking two beds on top of the other. The design usually allows the beds to be stacked until your kids grow into teens and tweens or be separated into individual free-standing bed frames. This is ideal for families that might move frequently or have smaller spaces in their homes. These bunk beds are versatile and come in a variety 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). Some are available in various heights, and some have a step-ladder tilted to allow for easier climbing. Another thing to take into consideration when choosing a bunk bed is its design, with some models featuring a combination of medium-density fiberboard and kiln-dried hardwood. The former is cheaper and has a more modern look, but the latter can be more durable and strong. Bunks that have trundle beds are ideal for sleepovers. Some have the capacity to add an additional trundle bed to an additional configuration. These beds can comfortably accommodate three adults or children, which can be ideal for a shared room which encourages friendships and family bonding while maximizing the use of space. A bunk bed's color and style are the final things to consider. Crisp whites, neutral grays, and muted finishes in clay can be combined with 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 color scheme as your child grows. While the cost of a bunk bed can differ, the majority of models have a relatively reasonable price tag that's comparable to other similar kinds of furniture for bedrooms. The cheaper bunk beds are constructed with less durable materials, but many of our top-rated models are built to last enough to endure through childhood and beyond.
