Bunk Beds Add Style and Character to Kids' Rooms

Size

There are various dimensions of bunk beds to suit the needs of all families. The standard bunk bed consists of two twin mattresses stacked on top of one another vertically. However, other sizes like full, queen or twin XL may also be used. The height of the top bed can also be adjusted to increase or decrease the distance between the ceiling and sleeping beds.

Some manufacturers suggest that there should be at least 6-8 inches of space between the bottom of the mattress and the top of the slats. This ensures that the top sleepers have enough space to move around and avoid hitting their heads against the ceiling as they get in and out of the bed. A guard rail is often located on the bottom of the mattress to prevent the possibility of falling while sleeping.

Safety

Bunk beds are a great option for a child's room. They can be hazardous, however, if not inspected and built in a safe manner. Each year, about 36,000 bunk bed-related injuries 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 fully developed sense of space. They are also more likely to leap onto or off the top bunk and utilize their beds for play. This is one reason that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents to not allow children younger than six years old to sleep on their top bunk.

Parents can make sure their children's bunk beds are safe by observing a few simple rules. A ladder should not be put within the bunk bed instead, it should be placed on the outside. The rails must be at least 5 inches above the mattress, and the space to climb into and out of the bed shouldn't exceed 15 inches. Additionally bed frames are not to be placed in close proximity to windows or behind furniture that could fall onto children as they sleep.

Parents should strictly adhere to the guidelines of the manufacturer when building a bunk bed. Screws should be tightened properly but not so tightly that they break the wood. The bed should not creak or move. It is also recommended to have the bunk beds professionally inspected when they are put together and then be tested by an expert before allowing children to use them.

Bunk beds can free up space in a child's bedroom and add style. It is important that parents establish rules for their kids and supervise them closely to prevent injuries.
