Kids Double Bunk Bed
Double bunk beds for kids are a great choice for siblings sharing the same space. Just remember that it's recommended that the child sleeping on the top floor is older than six years old and that you stop horseplay and jumping on beds.
Also, make sure the mattress's foundation doesn't have huge gaps that could allow a child to slip through.
Safety
Bunk beds can be a safe space for children to sleep in if they are installed correctly and if the parents adhere to certain safety guidelines. The first thing to do is to ensure that the bunk bed is positioned in a corner to ensure that it doesn't wobble when kids climb up and down the ladder.
It is also essential to instruct children not to play around or on the bunk bed and remove any toys that may be dangers to tripping. Children should be taught to use the ladder whenever they need to enter or exit the bunk bed.
Children shouldn't be permitted to sleep on the top bunk unless they are older than six years old. The reason for this is that younger children may not have the maturity or coordination to safely climb the ladder. It is also important to make sure that the guardrails are secured to the bunk above and that there aren't any gaps that children can slip through and become trapped beneath the bed.
Another important aspect to take into consideration is that the foundation area of both the upper and lower bunks should be constructed of solid wood and not slats. Slat-based systems are susceptible to collapse under the weight and can cause serious injuries. It is also a good idea to to reinforce the bunk's bottom with cross-ties to prevent it from moving due to the weight of the children.
Finally, it is an excellent idea to secure the bottom bunk with a safety rail when the child is sleeping in it by himself. This will prevent the child from falling off of the edge of the bunk in the event that they roll out of bed in the night.
Another safety measure that is easy to implement is to ensure that the bunk bed is not placed directly under the ceiling fan. This reduces the chance of injuries or accidents when the ceiling fan is on. The bunk bed should be placed away from windows to decrease the chance that children try to reach the windows from the upper levels.
Style
As children grow older and move from a crib to a single bed, they might wish to feel as if they are part of the big kid's room. Bunk beds are an excellent method to achieve this. They come in various designs and finishes that suit any design scheme. They also help save space, allowing kids to have more space for storage or to play. Bunk beds are available in a variety of sizes for kids of all different ages. They also come with ladders or stairs, which makes it easier for kids to climb up and down from their beds.
A bunk bed is a great option to make a child's' room stand out and influence the design of the room. For instance, this house-themed twin over twin bunk bed made by Belton Furniture offers a playful alternative to traditional bunk beds. The sturdy frame is designed with safety in mind and has been tested to hold up to 400 pounds. The attached ladder and guard rails complete the treehouse appearance. A desk built into the bottom level is perfect for homework or crafts.
The right bunk bed can add style, function and fun to your child's space regardless of whether you're creating it for a teenager or a little one. If you're thinking of a bunk bed designed for children take note of the people who will be sleeping in the room. Do you only need to sleep for kids or are there siblings sleeping in the same space? Do you need an extra bed to accommodate guests or sleepovers? Knowing who sleeps in the bunks can help narrow your options and find the best double bunk bed for your house.
Another aspect to think about when choosing the best bunk bed is its height. A bunk bed is a fantastic choice for small rooms with low ceilings as it visually expands the space. For this southwestern-inspired room designed by Studio Lifestyle, the bunks were encased in custom joinery to create a lofted effect. The cactus print wallpaper and vibrant accents make the room feel vibrant and lively.
