Bunk Beds Add Style and Character to Kids' Rooms

Bunk beds can bring style and character to a room for children. They're available in a wide range of designs and configurations, from classic twin over full, futons to L-shaped.

The majority of bunk beds have ladders. They are easy to climb and take up less floor space than stairs. Some have a fixed ladder, while others place the ladder on the left or right side of the long side of the bunk.

Size

There are a variety of sizes of bunk beds to accommodate the needs of families of all sizes. The standard bunk bed is made up of two twin mattresses stacked over one another vertically. However, other mattress sizes like full, queen or twin XL may also be used. In addition, the height of the top mattress can be adjusted to increase or decrease the space between the mattress and the ceiling.

Some manufacturers suggest that there should be at minimum 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 hit their heads on the ceiling when climbing into or out of bed. The mattress's bottom is also often fitted with a railing to stop a fall from occurring while asleep.

The triple bunk is a different alternative that can be found in a variety of designs and configurations. The configuration typically consists of a twin bed on the bottom and two full beds stacked vertically. This type of bunk bed is perfect for families sharing a room or for college dormitories as well as summer camps which require students to share rooms.

Safety

Bunk beds are a popular choice for children's rooms. They can be hazardous, however, if they are not inspected and built in a safe manner. Each year, about 36,000 accidents involving bunk beds need emergency room treatment. Fortunately, the majority of these are minor. The risk of injury is greatest 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 jump off the top bunk. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises parents not to let children under six sleep on the top bunk.

A few simple rules can aid parents in ensuring that their kids' bunk beds are safe. A ladder should not be placed inside the bunk bed, instead, it should be placed on the outside. The rails should also be at least 5 inches over the mattress, and the opening for climbing into and out of the bed shouldn't exceed 15 inches. Additionally, the beds are not to be placed close to a window or behind furniture that could fall onto children while they sleep.

When building bunk beds parents must follow the instructions of the manufacturer to the letter. Screws should not be tightened so much that they crack the wood. The bunk bed should not squeak or rock. Finally, it is a good idea to have the bunk beds professionally inspected when they are put together and then be tested by an expert before allowing children to use them.

Bunk beds can free up space in a child's room and add style. But it is vital that parents establish ground rules for their children and monitor them with care to prevent injury. It is also a great idea to have a nightlight within the room, and to instruct your children that hanging objects from beds is not safe. This poses a risk of strangulation. Children should be taught not to play rough around beds and furniture.
