Safety

Safety is a major factor when buying bunk beds. Bunk beds can be extremely risky if they're not constructed or if the children don't adhere to the rules. It's important that you determine the area you'd like to place it and check the dimensions of the frame carefully against the dimensions of your mattress. This will ensure that the mattress fits perfectly and your child will be able to get in and out of the bed without issues.

A key safety feature to look for is guard rails both on the top and bottom bunks. These guard rails should be constructed of solid wood and fastened securely to the frame. Additionally any holes, gaps or openings on the frame of a bunk bed should be small enough to avoid children's legs, head or torso from getting stuck in them. To avoid tripping hazards it's a good idea to ensure that any ladders and stairs used to climb up the frame of the bunk bed are part of the frame itself or are.

Another important safety tip: Never let children under six years old sleep on the top bunk. The majority of injuries resulting from bunk beds occur to children younger than six years old, and it is estimated that half of these injuries are caused by falls. It is a good idea as well, to set clear guidelines for the use of the bunk bed, and to make it clear that the top bunk should not be used for bouncing, playing or anything else.

It's important to make sure that no clothing belts, jump ropes hang off the frame of a bunk bed. They can pose dangerous strangulation hazards for children. You can purchase shelves that can be easily clipped to the side and give your child a place to keep their essentials for the night and not have to leave their bed in the dark to search for them.

Bunk beds allow two persons to share a space without taking up too much floor space. The upper bed is usually accessible via a ladder which is perfect for siblings sharing the bedroom, or for family members who live in small apartment.

Bunk bed frames are available in various sizes, shapes and styles that can be adapted to any space. They can be even modified to meet the requirements of the sleepers. If, for instance, one child likes sleeping on the top bunk and the other the bottom, the beds could then be arranged so that they face each other. This allows each child to have their own private space, while still being within the family.

Another benefit that many bunk bed owners enjoy is the option of adding under-bed storage drawers or trundles to their frame. These add-ons are stationed underneath the lower bed and can be used to hold clothing or blankets. These accessories can also be used to create additional space for guests to come to visit.

Trundles can also be found for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. They can be accessed by just one step and are situated beneath the bottom bunk beds with double on bottom bed. This gives you an additional sleeping space for guests who are visiting and eliminates the requirement for an air mattress.

Safety features are a must for anyone considering purchasing a bunk bed. You should look for side rails on the upper and lower bunks that prevent children from rolling off the top bunk. It's also important to think about how thick a mattress can be comfortably fitted on the upper bunk. A mattress that is too heavy may cause a child to slide off the railings and injure themselves.

The kind of ladder you select for your bunk beds is an additional security option. Some bunk beds come with a long ladder connecting the lower and upper rails. Others include a shorter ladder that is tacked to the front of upper guard rails. This is perfect for children since it makes the climb to the top bunk simpler and safer.
