Bunk Beds Add Style and Character to Kids' Rooms

Bunk beds can add style and character to a room for children. They come in a variety of styles and configurations - from the classic twin full, to the futon or L-shaped.

The majority of Quadruple bunk bed beds have ladders. They are easy to climb and require less space than stairs. Some bunks have a fixed staircase while others mount an incline on the left or right end of the long bunk.

Size

There are various sizes of bunk beds to suit the requirements of families. The standard bunk bed consists of two twin mattresses placed on top of each other vertically. However, other sizes of mattresses like queen, full or twin XL can be utilized. In addition the height of the top mattress can be adjusted to increase or decrease the distance between the mattress and the ceiling.

Some manufacturers suggest that there be at least 6-8 inches of space between the mattress's bottom and the top of the slats. This will ensure that the top sleepers have enough room to move around and not fall on their heads against the ceiling when they climb into or out of bed. A guard rail is usually placed on the bottom of the mattress to avoid a possible fall while sleeping.

Triple bunks are available in a variety of different designs and configurations. The configuration is typically comprised of two full beds that are stacked horizontally, and a twin bed at the bottom. This kind of bunk bed is great for families sharing a room or for college dormitories as well as summer camps that require students to share rooms.

If you have a bigger bedroom that isn't able to accommodate the space needed for a traditional bunk bed think about getting a loft bed instead. It has a desk or futon underneath the bunk bed on the lower side which allows you to utilize the space beneath the bunks to store other furniture like dressers, bookcases, and toy boxes.

Style

There are many styles of bunk beds to suit the needs of different rooms and families. When deciding on the style of bunk bed to buy, make sure it fits into your child's bedroom decor as well as the overall room design. The color of the bunk bed can also be important as it will make the room feel more modern. Bunk beds can be found in a variety of shades including white double bunk bed, black, and gray.

Regardless of the design of the bunk bed you pick, it's important to make sure it comes equipped with safety rails for the top sleeping area because this will provide your children with added security. Most sets will also include a ladder that will lead up to the top bunk. However, if you have the space, you could opt for a loft that does not require a ladder to reach the top bunk, but will instead feature an escalator.

If you want to maximize the space in your child's room, you could look into a double bed with stairs. This kind of bunk allows you to use the bottom bunk to store things, and it provides a safe and easy way for your children to climb to the top of the bed.

Safety

Bunk beds are a common choice for kids' rooms. They can be dangerous however, if they are not inspected and built in a safe manner. Each year, about 36,000 bunk bed-related injuries require emergency room treatment. Fortunately, the majority of these injuries are minor. 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 more likely to use their beds for play and leap off the top bunk. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises parents not to let their children younger than six sleep on the top bunk.

Following a few simple guidelines can help parents ensure that their children's bunk beds are secure. For instance, a ladder should be put on the outside of the bunk and not inside it. The rails should also be at least 5 inches higher than the mattress, and the area for climbing in and out of the bed should not exceed 15 inches. Finally the beds are not to be placed close to a window or behind clutter that could fall onto children while they sleep.

When building a bunk bed parents must adhere to the instructions of the manufacturer to the letter. Screws should not be tightened so tightly as to crack the wood. Additionally, the bed should not rock or creak. In the end, it's an excellent idea to have the bunk beds inspected by a professional when they are put together and be tested by a qualified expert prior to giving children the ability to use them.

Bunk beds are a great way to reduce space and give a stylish look to a child's bedroom. It is essential that parents set the rules for their children and supervise them closely to avoid injuries. It is also a good idea to have a nightlight in the room, and to instruct your children that hanging objects from beds isn't safe. This could pose a risk of strangulation. Children should also be taught that playing rough with each other is not a good idea on furniture or beds.
