Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds for kids let siblings share a room without compromising their privacy and are an ideal option for sleepovers. Based on the model you select, these beds could include ladders or stairs to access the top bunk, and they can be made from a variety of materials like wood and metal. Size Compare the dimensions of your room with the measurements of a bunk bed prior to you purchase it. You'll want to ensure there's plenty of space for your kids to climb up and down the ladder (or stairs if the bunk has stairs) and to move around the loft without bumping into walls or furniture. It's also important to think about the bed's height and headroom in relation to your kids' standing and sitting height. You might need to purchase an earlier-sized bunk to accommodate younger children, while older children may prefer a taller setup. Bunk beds for children are available in two styles – twin-overtwin or full-overfull. Both are excellent options to accommodate multiple children in one room. Some bunks include an trundle that can accommodate guests who aren't sleeping. If your children are young, choose a low-level bunk bed that's bottom bunk isn't more than 50 inches above the floor. This will stop children from falling out of bed, which could be a risk to their safety. The distance between the top bunk and the guardrails is another crucial aspect to be considered. The CPSC recommends that the top bunk's mattress to be no more than 5 inches higher than the guardrail. This will prevent your children from falling out of their bed in the middle of the night and falling into guardrails, which could cause entrapment or falls. Ganjian says that the most reliable bunk beds are made of sturdy materials, and they are in compliance with CPSC safety standards. It is also important to check out the structure of each bed to ensure it's made from quality woods and isn't flimsy or unstable.

Safety A bunk bed is an exciting and enjoyable addition to a child's room However, it can also be dangerous if it isn't correctly assembled or used. Bunk bed injuries can happen to children of all ages however they are the most common among children younger than six years old. It is crucial to adhere to the safety and assembly guidelines, use the right mattress size, and place the bunk beds so they aren't in conflict with windows, heaters, or hanging lights. It is recommended to check the bed for wear and make repairs if necessary. The top bunk's height should be restricted to four feet. There should be guardrails on both sides of the bed. The space between the guardrails shouldn't be larger than 3 ½ inches to avoid death and make sure that your child isn't able to roll under the guardrail while sleeping. The mattress at the bottom should be supported by slats or wires that are placed directly under the bunk and secured with a secure nut at both ends to avoid the possibility of a gap that your child might fall through. The ladders and stairs must be securely attached to bunk beds and provide a safe way to climb up to the highest level. Make sure that the ladder isn't in the vicinity of any hazards and that your children understand that they can use it solely to climb into bed, not as a play area. Also, discourage rough playing on the bunks as this could cause damage to the stability of the structure. It is impossible to determine the age at which children can sleep in bunk beds. However, a lot of experts recommend that children not sleep on the top bunk until they are at least six years of age and are old enough to be able to stay still during sleep. If you aren't sure about your child's ability to climb up the top bunk, think about a twin/full-size bunk instead.
