Safety

Safety is a major aspect to consider when buying bunk beds. Bunk beds are dangerous in the event that they are not constructed properly or if children do not adhere to the rules. It's crucial to determine the area you want to put it and compare the dimensions of the frame carefully against the dimensions of your mattress. This will help ensure that your mattress fits perfectly and that there is enough room for your child to get into and out of bed without any issues.

A key safety feature to look for is guard rails both on the bottom and top bunks. These guard rails should be constructed of solid wood and fastened securely to the frame. Also any gaps, holes or openings in the frame of a bunk bed must be small enough to keep children's heads, bunk beds for kids legs or torsos from being caught in the gaps. To prevent accidents from tripping it's a good idea to ensure that any ladders and stairs used to climb up the frame of the bunk bed are part of the frame or are a part of it.

Another important safety rule is to never allow children younger than six to sleep on the top bunk. Most bunk bed-related injuries occur to children younger than this age and more than half result from falls. It is a good idea too, to establish clear rules for the use of the bunk bed, and to make it clear that the top bunk should not be used for jumping, playing or anything else.

It is essential to ensure that no clothing, belts, or jump ropes are hanging off the frame of a bunk bed. They could pose an extremely strangulation risk for children. You can purchase clip on shelves that attach easily to the side of the bunk and give your child a place to keep their essentials for the night so that they don't have to get out of bed to find them in the dark.

Storage

Bunk beds are available in a variety of sizes, styles and shapes to fit in with any space. They can be even modified to meet the requirements of the people sleeping. If, for instance, one child would prefer to sleep on the top bunk and the other the bottom, the beds can be arranged in a way that they are facing each other. This allows each child to have their own personal space, while still being within the family.

Another feature that many people who own bunk beds appreciate is having the option of adding under-bed storage drawers or trundles to their frames. These add-ons can be placed underneath the lower bunk bed to store clothing or blankets. These add-ons can also serve to provide additional space for guests when they come to visit.

Apart from drawers for under-bed storage Trundles can be affixed to bunk beds in the shape of pull-out mattresses that are placed underneath the bottom bed and are accessible with just a few steps. This provides a comfortable place for one extra sleeping person when guests are in and eliminates the requirement to take out an air mattress.

Safety features are essential for anyone who is considering buying bunk beds. Check for side rails in the upper and lower bunks to stop a child from falling off the top bunk. It's also important to take into consideration the thickness of a mattress you can fit on the upper bunk, as a thick mattress can cause a sleeper to fall off of the rails that guard them while asleep and hurt himself or herself.

Other options for safety include the kind of ladder you select for your bunk bed. 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 rail. This is the best option for children because it makes climbing up to the top bunk safer and more comfortable.
