Safety

One of the biggest factors to consider when purchasing a bunk bed is safety. Bunk beds pose danger when they are not constructed correctly or if children don't adhere to the rules. It is essential to determine the area you'd like to put it and then compare the dimensions of the frame against the dimensions of your mattress. This will ensure that the mattress fits perfectly and your child will be able to move into and out of the bed with no problems.

Guard rails are an essential security feature. They should be located on the top and bottom bunks. The rails that guard the bed should be constructed of solid wood and fastened securely to the frame. Any gaps, openings, or holes on the frame of the bed should be sized so that children's heads, legs or torsos cannot get stuck in them. To avoid tripping hazards it's a good idea to ensure that any ladders and stairs used to climb up the bunk bed frame are either part or the frame itself.

Another important safety tip: Never let children under six years old sleep on the top bunk. Most bunk bed-related injuries occur to children younger than this age and more than half of them happen because of falls. In addition to that, it's also recommended to establish clear rules about using the bunk bed and make it clear that the top bunk isn't to be used for playing, jumping or anything else.

Bunk beds come in a variety of sizes, styles and shapes to suit any room. They can also be customized to fit the needs of the sleeping individuals. If, for example, one child would prefer to sleep on the top bunk and the other on the bottom one, the beds can then be arranged so that they face each other. This lets each child have their privacy while enjoying the comfort of being close to loved ones.

Many bunk bed owners also like the option of adding under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These add-ons are stationed underneath the lower bed and can be used to hold blankets or clothing. They also give extra space to sleepovers for guests who visit.

In addition to drawers under the bed, trundles can be added to bunk beds in the shape of mattresses that can be pulled out beneath the bottom bed and are easily accessed with just a few steps. This can provide a comfortable spot for one additional sleeper when guests are visiting and does away with the need to pull out an air mattress.

Anyone who is thinking of buying bunk beds should take into consideration the safety features. Make sure there are side rails on the upper and lower bunks to prevent the child from falling off the top bunk with double bed. It's also important to consider how thick of a mattress you can fit on the upper bunk as a thick mattress can cause a sleeper to fall off the rails that guard them while asleep and hurt himself or herself.

Other safety options include the kind of ladder you select for your bunk bed. Some bunk beds feature an extended ladder that connects the upper and lower rails. Others have a shorter ladder attached to the front of upper guard rail. The latter is ideal for children as it makes the climb to the top bunk easier and safer.
