Safety

Safety is a major factor when buying a bunk bed with Single and Double bed. Bunk beds are dangerous if not built properly or if the children don't adhere to the rules.

Guard rails are a key security feature. They should be placed on the top and bottom bunks. The rails that guard the bed should be made of solid wood and attached securely to the frame. Additionally, any gaps, holes or openings on the frame of a bunk bed should be small enough to avoid children's legs, heads or torsos from being caught in the gaps. To avoid tripping hazards it's a good idea to ensure that ladders and steps used to climb the frame of the bunk bed are part of the frame or are a part of it.

Another important safety tip: Don't let children younger than six years old sleep on the top bunk. The majority of injuries resulting from bunk beds happen to children who aren't yet this age and more than half happen because of falls. It's a good idea, too, to establish clear guidelines for the use of the bunk bed, and to emphasize that the top bunk shouldn't be used for bouncing or playing.

It's also recommended to make sure that no belts, clothing or jump ropes are hanging from the frame of the bunk bed because they could pose serious strangulation dangers to children.

This allows each child to have their own private space, yet be surrounded by family members.

Another feature that a lot of people who own bunk beds appreciate is having the option of adding storage drawers underneath or trundles to their frame. These add-ons are stationed beneath the bed's lower section and can be used to store blankets or clothing. These add-ons can also be used to provide extra space for guests when they come to visit.

Besides under-bed drawers Trundles can be affixed to bunk beds in the form of pull-out mattresses that are placed under the bed's bottom and are accessible with a simple step.

Safety features are essential for anyone who is considering buying bunk beds. It is important to look for side rails on both the lower and upper bunks that will stop a child from falling off the top bunk. It is also important to think about the thickness of a mattress you can comfortably fit on the top bunk, as too thick of a mattress can cause a sleeping child to fall off of the guard rails while asleep and hurt himself or herself.

The kind of ladder you select for your bunk beds is another security option. Some bunk beds come with an extended ladder that connects the lower and upper rails. Others include a shorter ladder that is tacked to the front of the upper guard rails. This is ideal for children because it makes the climb to the top bunk more comfortable and more secure.
