Bunk Beds Add Style and Character to Kids' Rooms

Bunk beds add style and character to kids' rooms. They're available in a vast variety of styles and configurations, from classic twin over full, futons to L-shaped.

Most bunk beds have ladders. They are much easier to climb and use less floor space than stairs. Some bunks have a fixed staircase while others have an incline on either the left or right side of the long bunk.

Size

There are several sizes of bunk beds available to suit the needs of families. The standard bunk bed is comprised of two twin mattresses placed on top of one another vertically. Other sizes of mattresses, such as queen full, twin, or XL, may also be used. The height of the top bed may also be adjusted in order to increase or reduce the space between the ceiling and the sleepers.

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

Safety

Bunk beds can be a great option for a child's room. They can be hazardous, however, if they are not properly checked and constructed. Every year, around 36,000 injuries resulting from bunk beds require emergency room treatment. Fortunately, most of these injuries are minor. Younger children are at the most risk of injuries because they don't have a full-blown sense of space. They are also more likely to leap on or off the upper bunk, and also to utilize their beds for play. This is one of the reasons why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents do not let children under six years old to sleep on their top bunk.

A few simple rules can help parents ensure that their children's bunk beds are safe. A ladder should not be placed within the bunk bed but on the outside. Additionally, the rails must be at least five inches higher than the mattress, and the opening for climbing in and out of bed should not be wider than fifteen inches. The beds should not be placed near windows or behind clutter that could fall onto children as they sleep.

When building a bunk bed parents must follow the manufacturer's instructions to the letter. Screws should not be tightened so tightly as to crack the wood. The bunk bed should also not squeak or move. Finally, it is a good idea to have the bunk beds checked by a professional after assembly and then have them tested by a qualified expert prior to allowing children to use them.

Bunk beds can be a great way to save space in a child's room and add a touch of style. However, it is crucial that parents establish ground rules for their children, and monitor children's bunk beds them with care to prevent injuries. It is also an excellent idea to install a night light in the room. It is also a good idea to teach children that it is not safe to hang things on beds, as this poses a strangulation risk. Children should also be taught that playing rough with each other is not appropriate around furniture and beds.
