Double Bunk Beds Top and Bottom Bunk beds are a great way to store things, and add design and function to a room for kids. Many of these sets can be transformed into separate beds, so they can change with your child and still be a great option for sleeping. Remember that bunk beds need a ceiling that is high. You need to ensure that there is enough headroom to safely get into and out of the bed. Size Double bunk beds that are top and bottom come in various sizes, so it's crucial to determine the space available in your bedroom prior to deciding to buy. You'll also want to think about how tall your ceilings are, since the size of your bunk bed will impact its safety and comfort. If your ceilings have a high height, you might want to consider a lofted twin bed that can be split into two separate beds. It will free up space in your bedroom and give each child a separate space for sleepovers or party. Some lofted beds have built-in storage drawers. farmhouse bunk beds can be useful if your floor space is small. Another factor to consider is the type of staircase or ladder that will be used for the bunk bed. The majority of bunk beds utilize straight staircases some have an angled one or a staircase that has handrails. Both are safe and easy for children to climb, however the type you choose will depend on how much floor space is available in your room. Straight ladders require less space, while stairs include more safety features such as handrails, built-in storage and even built-in shelves. The size of the mattress on the top bunk must be a consideration. It is important that the mattress on your top bunk is not too thick. This can cause the sleeper to fall and get injured. The majority of bunk bed manufacturers recommend a full-size mattress for the top bunk and a twin-size mattress or a twin XL for the bottom bunk. It is also important to consider the age of your kids when choosing the bunk bed. Children under the age of six should not be sleeping on the top bunk since they could easily fall and injure themselves. Set up a strict set of rules for your children and ensure that they adhere to them. You should also instruct your kids to use the ladder correctly and to avoid hanging anything from the guard rails of the top bunk, such as belts or scarves. You should make it clear to your children that the top bunk cannot be used as a playground. These items can cause strangulation risks. You can put a clip-light near the staircase that will help your children find their way down the stairs at night. Style Bunk beds are available in different styles. Some bunk beds have a more traditional design while others have a more relaxed rustic appearance. Other options have a direct, clean style that would be perfect for the bedroom. Whatever style you choose be sure to keep safety always the top priority. Place the bunk beds in such a way that your children do not hit each other when moving into and out of the bed. Also, make sure that the bunks are free of windows, ceiling fans (especially blind cords that are a risk of strangulation), lights and heaters. Bunk beds are available in different styles and colors. Some have a beautiful natural wood grain, whereas others are painted that ranges from neutral stone to bold navy. The wood finish will influence the overall design of the bed, which is why it's important to consider your kids' room color scheme when choosing a bunk bed. If you want to make sure that your children's bunk bed is growing with them, select a model which can be separated into two twin beds once they are ready to transition to the teens. This design by Harper & Bright is a good choice and it is available in a variety of beautiful painted finishes and also in rich walnut. Many parents opt for a double bunk that has stairs, because it lets their children easily climb into and out of the top mattress without having to worry about falling off the ladder. However, if you have kids who aren't yet ready to climb the stairs, there are plenty of alternatives to choose from. For example, this twin over queen bunk bed from Harper & Bright can accommodate three mattresses and offers an easy pull-out trundle that can fit a single mattress within the space of one rail on each side. Whatever style you choose, make sure that your kids understand that the top bunk is for sleeping only. It's a good idea to reinforce this rule frequently, especially when friends come over and you may be attracted to play on the top bunk. You should also reinforce the safety rules for your children when they have a sleepover. Safety While bunk beds are fun and exciting, they have some safety concerns that must be considered. It is important to check your bunk bed regularly for missing or loose pieces and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. You should also make sure that the frame of the bunk bed is strong enough and secure, particularly when using the uppermost sleeping space. Children should not be allowed to play on the top bunk and they should be taught that only one person can sleep there at any one time. This might seem like an unattainable rule to enforce, but it is for their safety. Another important safety precaution is to make sure that the mattress on the top bunk is positioned correctly. The top mattress must not be deeper than 15cm and should be snugly seated within the rails that guard the bunk bed. A deeper mattress could cause the side guards of the bunk bed to shift from the wall. This could lead to an unsafe fall from the bed. In the same way, the mattress on the bottom of the bunk should be supported by slats or wires that are directly underneath and secured securely at both ends. If the mattress was held up by the bed frame, or slats it could slide down to the bottom bunk causing injuries to the child. It is also important to have a ladder that permits your child to climb up the top bunk in a safe manner. Many manufacturers provide inclined ladders that are more sturdy than traditional vertical ones. They are great for younger children. You might want to consider using a nightlight to help your child find the ladder in the dark. More than half of the bunk bed injuries occur in children younger than six years older. Children who are not old enough to be able to sleep on top bunks can get injured when they fall during nap time, or when playing. Fortunately, the majority of these falls can be prevented by the use of a few basic safety measures. It is also an excellent idea to install a fully-length, fitted sheet on the top bunk and to install guardrails on both sides of the upper bunk. Mattress Bunk beds can be ideal for roommates and families with limited storage space or living space. They allow two, even three people to sleep comfortably in a single room by stacking a bed on over another. These fun, space efficient frames can be used to accommodate twin or full mattresses and can be paired up with storage options such as drawers and trundles in order to maximize available sleeping space. It's vital to measure the mattress size and thickness before purchasing a bunk bed. The thicker the mattress on your bunk bed, the more space there will be between the sleeping area and the ceiling. It is also important to select a mattress that is at the right height for the top bunk, to allow you to use the railings to get into and out of bed in a safe manner. If you opt for a more substantial mattress for the top bunk it's recommended to choose a trundle mattress that is thinner that fits in the lower frame, so that there is more headroom between the lower and upper beds. This will reduce the chance of hitting your head when you're reading a book or getting ready for the night, and also making it easier to swap out the bedding and switch between mattresses. There are a variety of mattresses you can consider for your bunk bed including innerspring, hybrid, memory foam and latex. A memory foam mattress is a great choice for the top bunk because it's designed to contour to the body, and eliminate pressure points. It's also lighter than other mattress for bunk beds. This helps lessen the chance of overheating during warm nights. If you're looking for a durable and cost-effective alternative, a coil mattress is a good option. They are constructed of metal springs that create solid foundations for the bunk. They are generally less expensive than other types. These mattresses are also great for teenagers and older children who may need more support to sit in bed while studying or playing games.
