Double Bunk Beds Top and Bottom Bunk beds add storage, design and function to a room for kids. Many of these sets can be converted into separate beds so that they can grow with your child, and provide a reliable option for sleeping. One thing to remember is that bunk beds need a tall ceiling. You need to make sure that there is enough headspace to be able to safely enter and out of the bed. Size Double bunk beds are available in a variety of sizes. It's important that you determine the size of your bedroom prior to purchasing. You'll also want to consider the height of your ceiling, since the size of your bunk bed will impact its safety and comfort level. If your ceilings are very high, you may want to consider a lofted bed which can be split into two individual twin beds. This will allow you to free up space in your bedroom and give each child a own bedroom that is theirs to use for sleepovers and parties. Some lofted beds have built-in storage drawers that can be useful if the floor space in your home is small. Another factor to consider is the kind of staircase or ladder that will be used for the bunk bed. A few bunk bed designs utilize straight staircases some have an angled one or a staircase that has handrails. Both options are safe and simple for kids to climb, however the type you pick will depend on the amount of floor space available in your room. Straight ladders are less space-consuming however, stairs come with additional security features, such as handrails and storage built into them. The size of the mattress on the top bunk needs to also be considered. You must ensure that the mattress of your top bunk isn't overly thick, as it can cause a sleeper to fall off the bed and injure themselves. Most bunk bed manufacturers recommend that you choose a twin-size or full-size mattress for the top bunk and a twin XL or twin-size for the bottom bunk. It is also important to consider the age range of your children when choosing a bunk bed. Children under six should not be sleeping on the top bunk since they could easily fall and injure themselves. You can help keep your children safe by setting firm guidelines and ensuring that they adhere to them. You should also teach your children to use the ladder correctly and to avoid hanging anything from the guard rails of the top bunk, like scarves or belts. It is important to communicate to your children that the top bunk should not be used as a play area. These items can cause strangulation hazards. You could also put a clip light right near the ladder, that can help your children navigate back down the stairs in the dark. Style Bunk beds come in a variety of styles. Some bunk beds have a more traditional design while others have a more relaxed rustic feel. Others offer furniture with an elegant, straight design that is at the right place in the modern bedroom. Whatever style you decide to go with security should always be your top priority. Place the bunk beds in such a way that your children won't be pushed against each other while moving into and out of the bed. Make sure 4 sleeper bunk beds are well away from ceiling fans, lights and heaters, blind cords (which can strangle your child) and windows. When it comes to style, bunk beds are available in a wide variety of finishes and colors. Some have a beautiful natural wood grain, while others are painted that ranges from neutral stone to a bold navy. The wood finish may influence the overall look of the bed. So, it's important to consider the color scheme of your child's room when choosing a bunk bed. If you're looking to ensure that your child's bed grows with them, choose a model which can be divided into two twin beds once they're ready to transition to the teen years. The Harper & Bright model Harper & Bright comes in a variety of beautiful painted finishes as well as a rich walnut. Many parents opt for a double bed with stairs so that their children can climb up and down the ladder to the top of the mattress. If you have children who aren't quite ready to climb stairs, there are other alternatives. For instance the twin over queen bunk bed from Harper & Bright can accommodate three mattresses and offers a convenient pull-out trundle that fits a single mattress in the space of one rail. No matter what design you choose, be sure that your kids understand that the top bunk is for sleeping only. This rule should be reinforced often, especially when guests come in and are attracted by the top bunk. You should also reinforce safety guidelines when your children are hosting a sleepover. Safety While bunk beds are fun and exciting, they also have some safety concerns that need to be taken into consideration. It is essential to inspect your bunk bed on a regular basis for missing or damaged pieces and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. It is essential to ensure that the frame of your bunk bed is strong and secure, particularly when using the uppermost sleeping space. Children shouldn't play on the top bunk, and must be taught to only sleep on it at a time. This might seem like an unattainable rule to apply, but it's to protect their safety. Another important safety measure is to ensure that the mattress on the top bunk fits properly. The mattress on the top bunk should not be more than 15cm, and it should fit snugly into the rails for guards. A deeper mattress could cause the side guards to deflect away from the wall, which could lead to falling from the bunk bed. The bottom bunk mattress is supported by wires, slats, or slats running directly underneath it and fastened at both ends. If the mattress is held solely by the bed frame or slats it may fall down into the bottom bunk, causing injury to the child who sleeps on the floor. It is also important to have a ladder that permits your child to climb into the top bunk in a safe manner. Many manufacturers make ladders that are angled, which are more stable than the traditional vertical ones. These are perfect for younger children. It is also worth using a nightlight in order to help your child locate the ladder at night. The most common bunk bed injuries are falls, and more than half of them happen to children under the age of six. Children who are too young to sleep on the top bunk could be injured by falling off during a nap, or while playing. Fortunately, most of these falls can be prevented by the use of a few basic safety measures. It is also a great idea to put guardrails on the sides of the bunk, and a fitted sheet that covers the entire top bunk. Mattress Bunk beds are a great solution for families and roommates who are limited in storage space or living space. They allow two, even three people to be able to sleep comfortably in a single bedroom by putting one bed on over another. These space-saving, fun frames can be used to accommodate twin, full, or queen mattresses and can be combined with storage options like drawers and trundles to maximize the space for sleeping. It is crucial to gauge the size and thickness of your mattress before buying a bunk bed. The more thick the mattress of your bunk bed will be, the more space you will have between the sleeping person's head and the ceiling. You should also choose a mattress that is the right height for the top bunk, so that you can utilize the guardrails and get in and out of bed in a safe manner. It's a good idea select a more substantial mattress for the top bunk, and a trundle bed that is smaller that can be tucked into the lower frame. This will give you more headroom between your upper and lower beds. This will reduce the risk of hitting the head while reading a book, or getting ready for bed. It will also make it easier to change between beds and mattresses. There are a myriad of types of mattresses you can choose from for your bunk beds, such as hybrids, innersprings and memory foam and latex. Memory foam mattresses are a great option for the top bunk since they conform to your body and reduce pressure. It's also lighter than other mattress for bunk beds. This will help to reduce the risk of overheating during warm nights. A coil mattress is a good option for those looking for a durable, affordable mattress. These mattresses are made of springs of steel that form a supportive base for bunk beds, and they're typically cheaper than other kinds of bunk mattress. They're also an excellent choice for older kids and teens who require extra support when they are sitting in bed to read or play games.
