Safety

One of the biggest considerations when buying a bunk bed is safety. Bunk beds can be extremely risky if they're not constructed or if the kids don't follow the rules. You should determine the area you're planning to put the bunk bed, and compare the dimensions of the frame to the measurements of the mattress. This will ensure that the mattress fits perfectly, and that your child is able to be able to get into and out of the bed without problems.

A key safety feature to look out for is guard rails on the top and bottom bunks. These guard rails should be made from solid wood and secured securely to the frame. Additionally any gaps, holes or openings on the frame of a bunk bed should be small enough to keep children's heads, legs or torsos from being stuck in the gaps. It's also recommended to ensure that any ladders or steps used to climb up and down the bunk bed are part of the frame itself or that they're securely secured to it to prevent them from becoming loose and causing an accident hazard.

It's a good idea also, to establish clear rules for using the bunk bed, and to make it clear that the top bunk shouldn't be used for jumping, playing or anything else.

You can purchase shelves that clip easily to the sides and give your child somewhere to store their essentials for the night, so they don't have to get out of bed in the dark to find them.

Storage

This lets each child have their privacy while having the comfort of being in the company of family members.

Many bunk bed owners also enjoy the option to add under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These add-ons can be placed beneath the bunk bed to store clothes or blankets. They also offer extra space for sleepovers when guests visit.

Trundles can also be found for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. These mattresses can be accessed with a single step and are located under the bunk bed's bottom. This provides an additional sleeping space when guests are visiting and eliminates the requirement for an air mattress.

Anyone who is thinking of buying bunk beds should take into consideration the safety features. Check for side rails in the upper and lower bunks to prevent children from falling off the top bunk. It's also important to take into consideration how thick of a mattress you can comfortably fit on the upper bunk because a too thick mattress can cause a sleeper to roll off of the rails that guard them while asleep and hurt himself or herself.

The kind of ladder you choose for your bunk beds is a different security option. Certain types of bunk beds come with a long ladder that connects the lower and upper guard rails, while others offer a shorter ladder that attaches to the front of the upper guard rail. This is the ideal option for children, as it makes climbing up to the top bunk safer and easier.
