How to Choose the Best Bunk Beds for Your Kids' Room

Bunk beds are a great way to add function and fun to a child's room particularly when you have limited space. Whether you go for the classic twin-over-full or a loft bed with storage, we've got options that fit your budget and space requirements.

Look for features like stairs that protrude out, angled ladders, and more, which make the bunks more accessible and safer for older children. Other features include storage areas that can be used as play areas, and under-bed trundles.

Size

When you are looking for a bunk bed, size matters. Be sure that the beds will fit in the space and provide enough space to climb up or down. If you're planning to add other furniture items such as desks or dressers take into consideration their dimensions as well. Also, keep in mind the capacity to carry weight for both top and bottom beds, if you're using the bunk beds as furniture for adult bedrooms also.

Another crucial aspect is the ceiling's height. Klugh says that a good guideline to follow is to make sure there's a minimum of 5 inches between the ceiling and bottom of the bed. This will ensure that children are able to safely access the upper portion of the bed.

Some bunk beds are equipped with ladders, while others have stairs. "Stairs are usually more user-friendly than ladders, but they do take up more space," says Fenton. There are stairs that have built-in storage drawers, which are particularly useful for those who need more space for bedding or toys. They are more expensive than straight ladders.

Safety

Bunk beds are enjoyable and thrilling for kids bedroom furniture, but they're not without some safety concerns. You should select the bed frame that is constructed of durable and high-quality wood. Also, you should ensure that the bunk bed meets all safety standards and features guardrails for the top sleeper. The guardrails should be at least 5 inches high and continuous across all sides of the top mattress. Also, you should look for gaps, openings or holes in the guardrails that are large enough to trap a child's head, limbs or torso.

The majority of bunk bed manufacturers set weight limits for their products. It is essential to adhere to these guidelines, since over-weighing them can lead to bunk bed collapse and pose serious injury risk. A lot of these manufacturers have age restrictions on their bunk beds. In general children must be at least 6 years of age to be allowed to sleep on the upper levels.

The type of ladder that is included with the bunk beds is an additional aspect to take into consideration. Certain models come with basic metal staircases and others come with more elaborate ladders. Staircases are safer for children to climb but not as safe as ladders made of solid steel. It's not easy for children who are tall or have trouble climbing up and down.

It is also important to ensure that the bunk bed is fixed to the wall and floor and isn't near any windows or items that kids could fall onto while sleeping. Also, you should inspect the bunk bed frequently for any damaged or loose parts that might need to be repaired. Keep additional bolts and screws at your home in case they become lost or become loose over time.

Finally, you should put the bunk bed in the corner of the room so that it has walls on both sides. This will keep your children from falling off the side or top of the bunk bed. It will also help them to get in and out of the bed.

However stairs are more efficient, easier to climb, and they can be multi-functional. Some models come with hollow stairs that double as storage drawers.
