Safety Safety is a major factor when buying a bunk bed. Bunk beds can be dangerous when they are not constructed correctly or if children do not follow the rules. It is essential to measure the room where you'd like to put it and check the dimensions of the frame carefully against the measurements of your mattress. This will ensure that the mattress fits perfectly, and that your child can get in and out of the bed without difficulties. One of the most important safety features to look out for is guard rails both on the bottom and top bunks. They should be made of solid piece of wood that is securely fastened to the frame of the bunk. Also, any gaps, holes or openings on the frame of a bunk bed should be small enough to keep children's legs, head or torsos from being trapped in them. It's also an excellent idea to make sure that any stairs or ladders used to climb up and down the bunk bed are part of the frame itself or that they're securely fastened to it to prevent them from becoming loose and causing an accident hazard. Another safety tip to remember: Do not let children less than six years old sleep on the top bunk. The majority of bunk bed-related injuries occur to children younger than six years old, and more that half of them result from falls. In addition to that it's a good idea to set specific rules regarding the use of the bunk bed, and to emphasize that the top bunk is not for jumping, playing or anything else. It is essential to ensure that no clothing belts, belts, or jump ropes are hanging off the frame of a bunk bed. They could pose an extremely strangulation risk for children. You can buy shelves that clip easily to the side of the bed and provide your child a place to keep their essentials for the night so that they don't need to get out of bed in the dark to search for them. Storage Bunk beds allow two persons to share a room without taking up too much space. The bed above can be accessed by the ladder. This is perfect for siblings sharing a bedroom or for family members who live in small apartment. Bunk beds come in many sizes, styles and shapes to suit any room. They can even be customized to fit the needs of the people sleeping. For double bed bunks , if one child prefers the top bunk while the other prefers the bottom bunk and the beds can be arranged so that they face each one. This lets each person have their personal space while having the comfort of being in the company of loved ones. Many bunk bed owners also enjoy the option to add under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These add-ons can be placed underneath the lower bunk bed to store clothing or blankets. These accessories can also be used to provide additional space for guests when they visit. Trundles can also be found for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. They can be accessed by a single step and are situated beneath the bunk bed's bottom. This can provide a comfortable spot for one additional sleeping person when guests are in and eliminates the need to bring out an air mattress. Anyone who is thinking of buying a bunk bed should consider the safety features. Be sure to check for side rails on the lower and upper bunks to keep a child from falling off the top bunk. It's important to also consider the amount of mattress that can comfortably fit on the upper bunk. A mattress that is too thick may cause a child to roll off the guard rails and injure themselves. Other options for safety include the type of ladder you choose for your bunk bed. Some bunk beds have a ladder that is long and connects the lower and upper rails. Others have a shorter ladder that is attached to the front of upper guard rails. This is the ideal option for children because it makes climbing to the top bunk safer and easier.
