Bunk Beds Add Style and Character to Kids' Rooms

Bunk beds add style and character to children's rooms. They're available in a vast range of designs and configurations, from classic twin over full to futon to L-shaped.

Most bunk beds have ladders. They are much easier to climb and take up less floor space than steps. Some have a fixed ladder, while others place the ladder on either the right or left side of the long end of the bunk.

Size

There are various sizes of bunk beds to suit the needs of families. The standard Quadruple sleeper bunk bed bed is comprised of two twin mattresses stacked on top of one another vertically. However, other sizes of mattresses like full, queen or twin XL can also be used. In addition, the height of the top mattress can be adjusted to increase or decrease the space between sleepers and the ceiling.

Some manufacturers suggest that there should be 6-8 inches of clearance between the mattress's bottom and the top of the slats. This ensures that top sleepers have enough space to move freely and avoid hitting their heads against the ceiling as they climb into or out of bed. A guard rail is often placed at the bottom of the mattress to prevent a possible fall while sleeping.

The triple bunk is an additional alternative that can be found in a variety of styles and configurations. This configuration usually consists of one twin bed on the bottom and two full beds that are stacked vertically. This kind of bunk bed is ideal for siblings who share the same room, or for summer camps as well as college dormitories which require students to be in a room shared by two students.

If you have a bigger bedroom that isn't big enough to accommodate the space required for the traditional bunk bed, consider getting a loft bed instead. This type of bed includes a desk or futon that is placed underneath the lower bed and makes space above the bunks to accommodate other furniture such as dressers, shelves for books, and toy boxes.

Double over futon bunk beds are a favorite with teenagers and young adults who require the additional storage space of a full size futon on the lower bunk, but still have a great upper bunk. This kind of bed comes in various configurations, which include four different ladder attachment points and a range of colors that can be matched to any decor. Some models include built-in drawers and desks to ensure that adults or students can work comfortably.

Style

There are many different styles of bunk beds available in order to accommodate the needs of all kinds of families and bedrooms. When deciding on the style of bunk bed you'll need, make sure it fits into your child's bedroom decor as well as the overall design of the room. The color of the bed may also make the room feel more modern. Bunk beds can be found in a variety of colors such as black, white and gray.

Whatever type of bunk bed that you pick, ensure that there are safety rails on the top sleeping area. This will provide your children an additional level of safety. The majority of sets also come with an elevated ladder that leads to the top bunk. If you have the space for a loft, you can select an loft that doesn't require an elevated ladder to access the top bunk, but instead features an escalator.

If you're looking to maximize the space in your child's room, you could think about a double bed that has stairs. This type of bunk bed allows you to keep the bottom bunk empty to store things and offers a simple and safe way for kids to climb to the top of the bed.

Another option for bunk beds is the twin over full, which is perfect for older siblings that require more space or parents with multiple children sharing one room. These bunk beds allow you to add an additional lower bunk, also known as a trundle. This is great for sleepovers.

Safety

Bunk beds can be an excellent option for a child's bedroom. However they can pose a risk in the event that they are not properly checked or constructed. Each year, about 36,000 bunk bed-related injuries require emergency room treatment. Fortunately, most of these injuries are not serious. The danger of injury is the highest for children who are younger, as they aren't able to perceive the fullness of space. They are also more likely to jump on or off the upper bunk and to make use of their beds for playing. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises parents not to let their children under six sleep on the top bunk.

Parents can ensure their children's bunk bed is safe by observing a few simple rules. For example ladders should be placed on the outside of the bunk, and Quadruple Sleeper bunk bed not inside of it. The rails must be at least 5 inches over the mattress, and the area to climb into and out of the bed should not exceed 15 inches. The beds should also not be placed close to windows or behind objects which could fall on children as they sleep.

Parents should follow the directions of the manufacturer when building a bunk bed. Screws should be tightened with care but not so tight that they break the wood. The bunk bed should also not squeak or move. It is also an excellent idea to have the bunk beds professionally inspected after assembly and have them tested by a qualified expert prior to giving children the ability to use them.

Bunk beds can be a great way to save space in a child's bedroom and add a touch of style. It is essential that parents establish rules for their children and monitor them closely to prevent injuries. It is also a good idea to have a nightlight within the room, and to instruct your children that hanging items on beds is not safe. It could be a cause of strangulation. Children should also be taught that playing rough with one another is not appropriate around beds and furniture.
