Size

Make sure there's enough room to accommodate both mattresses in their full size, as well as any other equipment like ladders or stairs. Bunk beds can occupy a lot of space on the floor, so it's essential to make sure that there is adequate clearance for sleeping areas and that you have a ceiling height that is adequate for the top bunk bed.

Then, think about the purpose of your bunk bed. Will it be used for two children sharing a bedroom, or could it be used as an additional bed for guests staying overnight? This will help you determine the mattress size you need and the type of bunk bed design that is the best fit for your.

The most popular design is a full bunk bed with a twin. It is spacious enough for two children to sleep comfortably while taking up less space than a separate pair of single beds. This space saving design also features guard rails for added safety and a built in ladder.

Choose a bunk bed with an integrated desk, if you're looking to turn it into an office at home or study space, or even a playroom. The Giancola bunk bed from Viv + Rae, for example comes with a double side desk that is located on the lower deck of the sleeper. This design lets you keep your child's space neat and tidy as they work on their homework, reading or crafting.

Another option to save space is to add a trundle bed to the frame of your bunk bed. A trundle bed can slide under the bunk below and instantly creates an additional sleeping space for children and their siblings to enjoy sleepovers.

Safety

Bunk beds are a great method to make the most of limited space in the bedroom of your child. However, there are a few safety concerns to bear in mind, particularly for children under the age of six.

Be sure to check the weight limit of your child's bunk beds. It is usually listed on the label, and should never be exceeded. Also the height of your child's bunk beds should be considered. If they're too low, your kids could fall off the bed and injure themselves. It's recommended to select a sturdy, high-quality bunk bed.

Also, you should make sure that the bunk bed has a full length guard rail on the top. This will prevent your kids from falling out of their beds in the night. It's also a legal requirement.

Select a ladder that is inclined instead of a vertical one. This will make it much easier for your children to climb to the top bed and will also be safer. Also, it is important to consider if the mattress on the top bunk is thick. In general the bunk bed mattress should be no more than 16cm deep to ensure that the rails that guard your bed work properly.

Some bunk beds have slides built-in and can bring a lot of fun to your child's bedroom. However, you must be on guard when your children are playing on the slide. You should also make sure that your children use the ladder correctly.

Bunk beds are a great way to save space, and they're becoming more popular in UK homes. If you take the time to follow the assembly instructions and select a high-quality bunk bed there's no reason for them to be unsafe.

Storage

Another alternative is a bunk room that slides out like the one found on the Coachmen Chaparral Lite 30BHS.
