Double Bunk Beds Top and Bottom Bunk beds can add storage, design and function to a room for kids. Many of these sets also can be converted into separate beds allowing them to expand with the kids and remain a practical sleeping option. One thing to keep in mind is that bunk beds require a high ceiling. It is important to ensure there's enough headroom for the sleepers to be able to get in and out of bed safely. Size Double bunk beds come in a variety of sizes. It's important that you determine the size of your bedroom prior to purchasing. Also, consider the height of your ceiling as this will affect the safety of your bunk bed and comfort. If your ceilings are high, you may want to consider a lofted bed that detaches into two twin beds. You can free up space in your bedroom and provide each child a separate space for sleepovers or party. Some lofted bed designs have built-in drawers that can be used for storage, which can be particularly beneficial if you have a small floor space to work with. The kind of ladder or staircase that will be used with the bunk bed is an additional factor to consider. quad bed utilize straight staircases, while others feature an angled or a staircase with handrails. Both are easy to climb and safe for children, but the style you choose will depend on the space you have in your bedroom. Straight ladders are less space-consuming, but stairs offer additional safety features such as handrails and storage built into them. The size of the mattress on the top bunk needs to also be considered. It is important that the mattress in your top bunk is not too thick. This could cause the sleeper to fall and get injured. Most bunk bed manufacturers recommend that you use a twin or full-size mattress for the top bunk, and twin XL or twin-sized mattresses for the bottom bunk. You should also take into consideration the age range of your children when selecting a bunk bed. Kids under six years old should not be sleeping on the top bunk as they can easily fall off and injure themselves. Set up a strict set of guidelines for your children and ensure they follow them. You should also instruct your kids to use the ladder properly and to avoid hanging anything from the guard rails of the top bunk, including belts or scarves. They can be an injury to children who strangle so it is important to insist that the top bunk is not a play area. It is also possible to install an illuminated clip on the ladder that can help your children navigate back down the stairs after dark. Style There are lots of style options for bunk beds. Some bunk beds have a more traditional design while others have a more relaxed rustic appearance. Other options give the furniture a clean, direct style that is home in the modern bedroom. Whatever style you pick, safety should always be the primary concern. Position the bunk beds so that your children won't be pushed against each other while going into or out of bed. Make sure the bunk beds are placed far enough away from ceiling fans, lights as well as heaters, blind cords (which could strangle your child), and windows. Bunk beds are available in a variety of styles and colors. Some bunk beds feature beautiful wood grain, while others are painted with a variety of colors, from neutral stone to striking blue. The wood finish can influence the overall look of the bed, making it important to think about the color scheme of your children's room scheme when picking a bunk bed. If you're looking to ensure that your child's bunk bed grows with them, select a model which can be divided into two beds once they're ready to enter the teenage years. The Harper & Bright model Harper & Bright comes in a variety of beautiful painted finishes, as well as rich walnut. Many parents choose to go for a double bunk that has stairs, as this lets their children easily get into and out of the top mattress without having to worry about falling off the ladder. If you have young children who aren't yet ready to take on stairs, there are a variety of alternatives. For example this twin over queen bunk bed from Harper & Bright can accommodate three mattresses. It also comes with an easy pull-out trundle that can fit a single mattress within the space of one rail. No matter which style you choose, make sure your children understand that the top bunk is for sleeping only. This rule should be reinforced frequently, particularly when guests come in and are inclined to sleep on 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 must be considered. It is essential to inspect your bunk bed regularly for missing or damaged pieces and to adhere to the guidelines given by the manufacturer. It is essential to ensure that the frame of your bunk bed is sturdy and secure, especially when sleeping in the uppermost space. Children should not be allowed to play on the top bunk and they should be taught that only one person can sleep on the top bunk at a time. This may be an unattainable rule to enforce, but it is for their safety. Another important safety precaution is to make sure that the mattress in the top bunk is positioned correctly. The mattress on the top bunk should not be more than 15cm and should be able to fit snugly into the rails for guards. A mattress that is more deep can cause the side guards to move away from the wall, which could result in falling from the bunk bed. The bottom bunk mattress should be supported by slats, wires or slats running directly underneath it and secured at both ends. If the mattress is held solely by the frame or slats of the bed, it could fall into the bottom bunk, causing injury to the child sleeping on that level. It is also important to have a ladder that permits your child to climb into the top bunk in a safe manner. Many manufacturers offer angled, more stable ladders as opposed to the traditional vertical ones. These are ideal for younger children, and you might want to consider using a nightlight to help your child locate the ladder in the dark. The most common injuries to children on bunk beds are from falls and more than a quarter of them occur among children younger than six. Children who are too young to be sleeping on the top bunk may injure themselves by falling off during a nap, or while playing. The majority of falls are preventable with simple safety measures. It's also a good idea to use a fully-length, fitted sheet on the top bunk and to install guardrails on both sides of the bunk above. Mattress Bunk beds are ideal for roommates and families with limited storage space or living space. By stacking three or more beds on top of each one, they provide comfortable sleeping for up to three people in a single room. These space-saving, fun frames can accommodate twin queen, full, or twin mattresses and can be paired with storage options like drawers and trundles, which can maximize the sleeping space available. It is essential to determine the size of your mattress and its thickness before buying a bunk bed. The higher the thickness of your bunk bed is, the more room you'll have between the sleeping person's head and the ceiling. It's also important to choose a mattress that is appropriate for the top bunk, so that you can safely use the guard rails and move into and out of the bed quickly. It's a good idea to pick a mattress that is thicker on the top bunk and a trundle bed that is smaller that will fit in the lower frame. This will give you more headroom between your lower and upper beds. This will minimize the risk of hitting your head while you're reading a book or getting ready to go to the night, and also making it easier to swap out the bedding and switch between mattresses. There are several different types of mattresses that you can choose for your bunk bed including innerspring, hybrid, memory foam and latex. Memory foam mattresses are an excellent option for the top bunk, because they conform to your body and reduce pressure. It's also lighter than other kinds of bunk bed mattresses which reduces the possibility of overheating during hot summer nights. A coil mattress is a great option for those looking for a durable, affordable mattress. These mattresses are made of metal springs that create an incredibly solid foundation for bunk beds and are generally less expensive than other types 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 study or play games.
