Double Bunk Beds Top and Bottom Bunk beds can provide storage, style and function to a room for children. Many of these sets also can be converted into separate beds which allows them to grow with the kids and still provide a practical sleeping option. Be aware that bunk beds require an extremely high ceiling. You want to make sure there's enough headroom for the sleepers to get in and out of bed safely. Size Double bunk beds top and bottom come in a variety of sizes, so it's important to determine the space available in your room prior to making a purchase. Also, be aware of the height of your ceilings as this will affect the safety of your bunk bed and comfort. If your ceilings are high, you may be interested in a lofted bed that detaches into two twin beds. This will let you save more space in your bedroom and give each child their own private bedroom for parties and sleepovers. Some lofted bed designs have built-in drawers for extra storage that can be beneficial if you have a small floor space. The kind of ladder or staircase that will be used with the bunk bed is a different aspect to take into consideration. The majority of bunk bed designs have straight ladders, while others may feature an angled ladder or staircase with handrails. Both are easy to climb and suitable for children, but which one you choose is contingent on the floor space available in your bedroom. Straight ladders are more efficient in space however, stairs come with additional security features, such as handrails, storage and built-in storage. The mattress size of the top bunk is also an important factor to consider. It is crucial that the mattress on your top bunk isn't too thick. This can cause the sleeping person to fall and become injured. Most bunk bed manufacturers recommend that you choose a twin or full-size mattress on 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 choosing the bunk bed. Children younger than six years old should not sleep on the top bunk, as they can easily fall off and injure themselves. You can help protect your children by establishing clear rules and ensuring they adhere to them. You should also teach your children to use the ladder properly and to not hang anything from the railings of the top bunk. This includes scarves and belts. They can be the risk of strangulation to children, so you should be clear that the top bunk is not a playground. It is also possible to install an illuminated clip near the ladder, that can help your children navigate back down the stairs in the dark. Style There are many style options for bunk beds. Some bunk beds have a more traditional design while others have a more casual rustic feel. Other options give the furniture a clean, direct style that is the right place in a modern bedroom. Whatever style you pick the safety of your children should be the primary concern. Be sure to place the bunk beds so to ensure that your children do not bump against each other while getting in and out of bed. Also, ensure that the bunks are far enough away from windows, ceiling fans (especially blind cords that are a risk of strangulation) lighting and heaters. Bunk beds come in a variety of styles and colors. Some have a beautiful natural wood grain, while others have a paint job that can range from neutral stone to bold navy. The wood finish will influence the overall look of the bed, which is why it's important to consider the color scheme of your child's room scheme when picking the bunk bed. If you're looking to ensure that your children's bunk bed will grow with them, choose one that can be divided into two twin beds once they're ready to move on to the teens. This model by Harper & Bright comes in a variety of stunning painted finishes, as well as a rich walnut. Many parents opt for a double bed with stairs to ensure that their children can climb up and down the ladder to get to the top of the mattress. However, if you have kids who aren't quite ready to use the stairs there are many other great choices. For instance 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 on one rail on each side. No matter which style you pick, be sure your children understand that the top bunk should only be used to sleep. It's a good idea to keep this in mind frequently, especially when friends visit and may be tempted 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 can be exciting and fun but there are a few safety issues that need to be considered. It is crucial to check your bunk bed on a regular basis for loose or missing pieces and to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. It is important to make sure that the frame of your bunk bed is sturdy and secure, especially when sleeping in the uppermost space. modern bunk beds should not play on the top bunk, and must learn that they can only sleep on it for a single time. This may be a difficult rule to apply, but it's for their own safety. Another important safety measure is to make sure that the mattress on top bunk is positioned correctly. The top bunk mattress must not be any deeper than 15cm and must fit snugly into the rails for guards. A mattress that is more deep can cause the side guards to deflect away from the wall, which could lead to falling from the bunk bed. Similarly, the bottom bunk mattress should be supported by slats or wires that are directly underneath and are secured securely at both ends. If a mattress is held up just by the bed frame or slats, it could fall into the bottom bunk and cause injuries to the child who sleeps on that level. It is also important to have a ladder that allows your child to climb onto the top bunk in a safe manner. Many manufacturers offer ladders that are angled and more stable than the traditional vertical ones. They are great for younger children, and you might want to consider using a nightlight to help your child find the ladder in the dark. The most common accidents that happen to bunk beds are falls and more than half of them occur among children under six. Children who are too young to be sleeping on the top bunk can injure themselves by falling off during a nap or playing. Fortunately, the majority of falls can be prevented with some simple safety precautions. It is also a good idea to use a fully-length, fitted sheet on the top bunk and to install guardrails on both sides of the upper bunk. Mattress Bunk beds are a great space-saving solution for rooms with limited storage or living space. By stacking three or more beds on top of each other, they allow for the comfort of sleeping for up to three people in a single room. These fun, space-saving frames can accommodate twin or full mattresses and can be combined with storage options like drawers and trundles in order to maximize the space available for sleeping. It is essential to determine the size and thickness of your mattress before purchasing a bunk bed. The thicker the mattress of your bunk bed will be, the more space you will have between the sleeping person's head and the ceiling. It's also important to choose appropriate for the top bunk so you can safely use the guard rails and get out and into the bed easily. If you decide to select a larger mattress for the top bunk, it's an ideal idea to select a thinner trundle mattress that fits in the lower frame so that there's more headroom between the upper and lower beds. This will reduce the chance of hitting your head while you're reading a book or getting ready to go to bed at night, and make it easier to change out the mattress and switch between beds. There are several different types of mattresses to consider for your bunk bed such as hybrid, innerspring memory foam, and latex. Memory foam mattresses are ideal for the top bunk because it is designed to conform to the body, and eliminate pressure points. It's also lighter than other kinds of bunk bed mattresses which reduces the possibility of overheating during hot nights. If you're looking for a long-lasting and affordable option, a mattress made of coils could be the best option. These mattresses are made of springs of steel that form an extremely solid base for the bunk and are generally cheaper than other kinds of bunk bed mattresses. These mattresses are great for teens and older children who may require additional support to sit up in bed to study or playing games.
