Double Bunk Beds Top and Bottom

Bunk beds add storage, functionality and style to a kids' room. A lot of these sets can be made into separate beds so that they can change with your child, and provide a reliable option for sleeping.

Size

The type of ladder or staircase that will be used with the bunk bed is another factor to consider. The majority of bunk beds utilize a straight ladder while others may feature an angled ladder, or a staircase with handrails. Both options are safe and simple for children to climb, but the style you pick will be determined by how much floor space is available in your space. Straight ladders are more space-efficient but stairs also come with safety features like handrails and built in storage.

The size of the mattress on the top bunk should be a consideration. You must ensure that your top bunk's mattress isn't overly thick, as it could cause a sleeping person to fall off the bed and hurt themselves. The majority of bunk bed manufacturers recommend that you choose a full-size or twin-size mattress for the top bunk and a twin XL or twin-size for the bottom bunk.

You should also take into consideration the age of your children when choosing the bunk bed. Children younger than six years old shouldn't be sleeping on the top bunk, because they could easily fall off and injure themselves. You can protect your children by establishing clear guidelines and ensuring that they follow them.

Another important safety precaution is to ensure that the mattress on the top bunk is fitted perfectly. The top mattress should be no deeper than 15cm and should fit snugly within the rails that guard the bunk bed. A mattress that is deeper could cause the side guards of the bunk bed to deflect from the wall. This could result in an unsafe fall from the bed. The mattress on the bottom of the bunk should be supported by wires or slats that are directly underneath and secured securely at both ends. If the mattress is supported just by the bed frame or slats it may fall down into the bottom bunk, causing injury to the child sleeping at that level.

It is also important to choose a ladder which allows your child to safely climb up to the top bunk. Many manufacturers offer angled ladders that are more sturdy than traditional vertical ones. They are ideal for smaller children. You should also consider installing a nightlight to help your child find the ladder at night.
