Bunk Beds Add Style and Character to Kids' Rooms

Bunk beds add character and style to kids' rooms. They are available in a variety of styles and configurations, from the traditional twin to full beds, including the futon and L-shaped.

Most bunks have ladders, which are easier to climb than stairs and don't take up the floor space. Some bunks have a fixed staircase, while others have an incline on either the left or right sides of the long bunk.

Size

There are different dimensions of bunk beds to suit the needs of families of all sizes. The standard bunk bed is made up of two twin mattresses stacked vertically on one another. Other sizes of mattresses such as queen full, twin, or XL, can be utilized. The height of the top bed can be adjusted in order to increase or reduce the distance between the ceiling and the sleeping beds.

Some manufacturers suggest that there be at least 6-8 inches of clearance between the mattress's bottom and the top of slats. This ensures that the top sleepers will have enough space to move and avoid hitting their heads against the ceiling as they climb into or out of bed. The mattress's bottom is often also fitted with a safety rail to prevent a fall from happening while asleep.

The triple bunk is a different option that is available in a number of different styles and configurations. The typical configuration is comprised of a twin bed on the bottom and two full beds stacked vertically. This kind of bunk bed is ideal for siblings that share rooms or for summer camps, and college dormitories where students are required to live in a shared room.

Safety

Bunk beds are a great option for a room for children. However, they can be dangerous when they are not properly examined or constructed. About 36,000 injuries resulting from bunk beds require emergency care every year. Fortunately, the vast majority of these are minor. The risk of injury is greatest for younger children, as they aren't able to perceive the fullness of space. They are more likely to use their beds to play and leap off the top bunk. This is one reason that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents not allow children under six years old to sleep on the top bunk.

A few simple rules can help parents ensure that their children's bunk beds are safe. For instance, a ladder should be put on the outside of the bunk and not inside. The rails should also be at least 5 inches higher than the mattress, and the area to climb into and out of the bed should not exceed 15 inches. The beds should not be placed in close proximity to windows or behind furniture that could fall onto children as they sleep.

When building bunk beds parents must follow the manufacturer's instructions to the letter. Screws should be tightened with care but not to the point that they crack the wood. The bunk bed should also not squeak or move. It is also a good idea to have the bunk beds inspected by a professional once they are assembled and to be tested by an expert before allowing children to use them.

Bunk beds can save space in a child's room and add a touch of style. It is essential that parents establish rules for their kids and supervise them closely to prevent injuries.

Children should be taught that playing rough with each other is not appropriate around furniture and beds.
