Size

A bunk bed is a great way to save space in the bedroom. It is a great choice for children who share the same room or when your home has to accommodate guests. Bunk beds can be stacked on top of each other and reached via an elevator. They can be made of either wood or metal and are available in various sizes to fit your space. The size of the bunk bed is determined based on the mattress size and the type of frame. Traditional twin-overtwin bunks can accommodate standard twin mattresses while contemporary bunk beds typically include roomier full-size mattresses. People who are looking for more sleeping capacity can also choose triple or trundle bunks that can accommodate queen or king mattresses.

Most bunk beds require 33 to 36 inches between the upper and bottom bunk mattresses. However, it's important keep in mind that a higher bunk bed might require more space especially if children are in the top bunk. Also, a higher bunk can be difficult to climb up and down, especially for younger kids. This is why many parents opt to buy a bunk bed that separates into separate lofted beds.

Straight ladders require less space and are easier to construct, while staircases look better but require extra assembly time. Some bunk beds include an incline that is an excellent addition to any child's bedroom.

Safety

While injuries to bunk beds may occur, they are usually the result of unsafe practices and poor construction rather than a flaw in the design or production of the beds. It is therefore essential that you make the effort to study the safety features of your child's mattress carefully before allowing them to sleep in it.

Guard rails are another important safety feature. They should be a minimum of five inches in height and run on all sides of the bed. There shouldn't be gaps, openings or holes on the wall or mattress where a child's head or body could be trapped. These could pose serious strangulation hazards.

You should also make sure that your children do not hang anything on the bunk bed, including scarves or belts as these could become tangled and create a serious strangulation risk. It is also an excellent idea to keep any sporting equipment, such as skipping ropes out of the bunk beds since they could also pose an entanglement risk.

You should only let one child sleep on the top bunk, unless the child is older than six years old and you've taken measures to ensure they can safely climb the ladder up and down each day. It's also a good idea to put the ladder away at night, so that children aren't able to climb it and fall off the bunk bed. Be sure to check the bunk bed regularly for wear and tear or damage that could lead to an accident.
