Size

You can free up space in your bedroom and provide each child their own space to host sleepovers or parties. Some lofted bed designs have built-in drawers that can be used for storage, which can be particularly useful if you have limited floor space to work with.

Another aspect to consider is the kind of ladder or staircase that will be used to construct the bunk bed. A few bunk bed designs use a straight staircase some have an angled one or a staircase with handrails. Both options are safe and easy for children to climb, however the type you pick will depend on how much floor space is available in your room. Straight ladders require less space, while stairs offer more safety features like handrails and built-in storage.

The size of the mattress on the top bunk needs to be taken into consideration. It is important to ensure that the mattress of your top bunk isn't too heavy, as it could cause a sleeper to fall off of the bunk and injure themselves. Most bunk bed manufacturers recommend that you use a twin-size or full-size mattress on the top bunk and twin-size or twin XL mattresses for the bottom bunk.

When choosing a bunkbed you must also consider the age of your children. Children under the age of six should not be sleeping in the top bunk as they could easily fall and injure themselves. Set clear guidelines for your children and ensure they follow them.

You should also instruct your kids to use the ladder in a safe manner and to stay clear of hanging anything from the guard rails of the top bunk, including scarves or belts. You should make it clear to your children that the top bunk should not be used as a play space. These items can create strangulation hazards. You can put a clip-light right on the stairs, which will aid your children in finding their way down the stairs at night.

Style

There are lots of style options when it comes to bunk beds. Some are traditional in design and others offer an unpretentious rustic look. Other styles have a straight and clean style that will be perfect for the bedroom. Whatever style you pick, safety should always be the primary concern. Make sure that you position the bunk beds far enough apart that your children don't run into each other while moving from and into the bed. Make sure the bunk beds are far enough from ceiling fans, lights as well as blind cords, heaters (which can strangle your child) and windows.

When it comes to fashion bunk beds come in a variety of colors and finishes. Some feature an attractive natural wood grain, while others have a paint job that ranges from neutral stone to a bold navy. The wood finish will also influence the overall design of the bed, which is why it's important to consider the color scheme of your child's room scheme when selecting a bunk bed.

If you'd like your child's in their bunk bed to grow with them, consider a model that can separate into two free-standing twin beds when they're ready to transition to teen years. The Harper & Bright model Harper & Bright comes in a variety of stunning painted finishes, as well as a rich walnut.

Many parents choose a small Double bunk bed bed with stairs to ensure that their children are able to climb up and down the ladder to the top of the mattress. However, if you have children who aren't yet ready take the stairs there are many alternatives to choose from. This twin over queen bunkbed from Harper & Bright, for instance, can be able to accommodate three mattresses. It also has an easy pull-out trundle which fits one bed in the space between the rails on one side.

No matter which style you pick, make sure that your kids understand that the top bunk is for sleeping only. This must be reinforced frequently, particularly when guests arrive and are tempted to use the top bunk. Also, make sure that you are able to enforce the safety rules every time your children are invited to sleepover.

Safety

While bunk beds can be fun and exciting, they also have safety issues to be considered. It is crucial to check your bunk bed on a regular basis for missing or loose pieces and to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. It is important to make sure that the frame of your bunk bed is strong and secure, especially when using the uppermost sleeping space. Children should not play on the top bunk, and must be taught to only sleep on it at a time. It can be difficult to enforce this policy, but it's in their safety.

Another important safety precaution is to ensure that the mattress on the top bunk is properly fitted. The top bunk mattress should not be more than 15cm, and it should fit snugly into the rails for guards. A mattress that is deeper can cause the side guards to deflect away from the wall, which could lead to a dangerous fall from the bunk bed. The bottom bunk mattress should be supported by wires, slats or slats running directly beneath it and fastened at both ends. If the mattress was held up by the bed frame, or slats it could fall to the bottom bunk causing injuries to the child.

It is also essential to select a ladder that allows your child to safely climb to the top bunk. Many manufacturers offer inclined ladders that are more sturdy than the traditional vertical ones. They are ideal for smaller children. It is also worth adding a nightlight to help your child find the ladder in the dark.

The most common injuries to children on bunk beds are from falls and more than half of them happen to children under six. Children who are too young to sleep on the top bunk may injure themselves by falling off during a nap or while playing. Fortunately, the majority of these falls can be prevented with the use of a few basic safety measures. It is also a great idea to install guardrails on the sides of the bunk, and a fitted sheet that covers the entire top bunk.

Mattress

By stacking two or three beds on top of each other, they can provide comfortable sleeping for up three people in a single room. These fun, space efficient frames can be used to accommodate twin or full-size mattresses. They can be paired with storage options like drawers and trundles in order to maximize the space available for sleeping.

It's vital to measure the size and thickness of your mattress before purchasing a bunk bed. Generally speaking, the thicker the mattress of your bunk bed, the more space there will be between the sleeper and the ceiling. You should also choose a mattress with the correct height for the top bunk so that you can utilize the railings to get into and out of bed safely.

If you decide to select a larger mattress for the top bunk it's a good idea to also select a thinner trundle mattress that can fit in the lower frame, so that there's more headroom between the lower and upper beds. This will reduce the risk of hitting your head when reading a book, or getting ready for bed. It also makes it easier to switch between mattresses and bedding.

There are a variety of mattresses you can consider for your bunk bed, such as hybrid, innerspring memory foam, and latex. Memory foam mattresses are an excellent option for the top bunk due to the fact that it's designed to contour to the body and eliminate pressure points. It's also lighter than other types of bunk bed mattresses which can help reduce the chance of overheating on hot nights.

If you're looking for a durable and cost-effective alternative, a coil mattress could be the best option. They're made of springs made of metal that provide an extremely solid base for the bunk, and they're typically cheaper than other kinds of bunk mattress. They're also a great choice for teenagers and older kids who require extra support when they sit in bed to read or play games.
