Bunk Beds Add Style and Character to Kids' Rooms

Bunk beds can add style and character to a child's bedroom. They're available in a vast variety of styles and configurations, ranging from classic twin over full to futon to L-shaped.

The majority of bunk beds have ladders. They are easier to climb and take up less floor space than stairs. Some have a fixed ladder while others mount the ladder on either the left or right side of the long end of the bunk.

Size

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

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

The triple bunk is an additional option that is available in a number of different designs and configurations. The configuration is typically made up of two beds that are stacked horizontally and one twin bed at the bottom.

Safety

Bunk beds are a common choice for kids' rooms. However they can pose a risk when they are not properly examined or constructed. Every year, approximately 36,000 bunk bed-related injuries require emergency room treatment. Fortunately, the majority of these injuries are minor. The risk of injury is highest for younger children, as they lack a full sense of space. They are also more likely to jump onto or off the top bunk bed with single and double and utilize their beds for playing. This is one of the reasons why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents not allow children under six to sleep on the top bunk.

Following a few basic guidelines can aid parents in ensuring that their children's bunk beds are safe. A ladder should not be placed within the bunk bed instead, it should be placed on the outside. The rails should be at least 5 inches over the mattress, and the area to climb in and out of the bed shouldn't exceed 15 inches. In addition bed frames should not be set close to a window or behind clutter that could fall onto children as they sleep.

When building bunk beds parents must follow the instructions of the manufacturer to the letter. Screws should not be tightened so much that they crack the wood. The bunk bed should not creak or rock. It is also recommended to have the bunk beds inspected by a professional when they are put together and then be tested by a qualified expert prior to allowing children to use them.

Bunk beds can save space in a child's room and can add style. But it is vital that parents set ground guidelines for their children, and monitor their beds carefully to avoid injuries.
