Safety


One of the most important factors to consider when purchasing bunk beds is safety. Bunk beds can be incredibly dangerous if they're poorly constructed or if the kids do not follow the rules. It's important that you determine the area you want to put it and check 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 be able to get into and out of the bed without any problems.

A key safety feature to look out for is guard rails both on the bottom and top bunks. These should be a solid piece of wood that is securely fastened to the frame of the bunk. Additionally any holes, gaps or openings on the frame of a bunk bed need to be small enough to prevent children's legs, head or torso from getting stuck in them. To prevent tripping hazards it's a good idea ensure that any ladders and stairs used to climb up the bunk bed frame are either part of the frame or are a part of it.

Another crucial safety tip is to not let children under the age of six to sleep on the top bunk. The majority of the injuries that occur from bunk beds occur to children who are less than six years old, and more that half of these injuries result from falls. It's a good idea also, to establish clear rules for using the bunk bed, and to stress that the top bunk should not be used for jumping, playing or anything else.

Also, it's a good idea to ensure that no belts, clothing or jump ropes are hanging off the frame of the bunk bed since they could pose serious strangulation dangers to children. You can purchase clip on shelves that can be easily attached to the sides of the bunk and give your child a place to store their essentials for the night so that they don't need to get up from bed to look for them in the dark.

Storage

Bunk beds are a great option to fit two people in a room without taking up too much space. The upper bed is usually accessible via a ladder, which is great for children sharing the bedroom, or for family members who live in small apartment.

Bunk bed frames come in various sizes and shapes that will fit in with any space. They can be adapted to meet the requirements of each individual sleeping. For instance, if one child prefers to sleep on the top of the bunk and the other the bottom one, the beds can be arranged in a way that they face each the other. This allows each person to have their own private space, while still being surrounded by family members.

Many bunk bed owners appreciate the possibility of adding under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These add-ons can be placed under the bunk bed to store clothes or blankets. They also provide extra room for sleepovers during visits from guests.

Trundles can also be found for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. They can be accessed with one step and are located under the bunk bed's bottom. This provides an additional sleeping space when guests visit and eliminates the need for an air mattress.

Safety features are essential for anyone who is considering buying bunk beds. Make sure there are side rails on the lower and upper bunks to keep children from falling off the top bunk. It's also important to take into consideration how thick of a mattress you can comfortably fit on the upper bunk, because a too thick mattress can cause a sleeper to fall off the guard rails while asleep and hurt himself or herself.

Other safety options include the kind of ladder you pick for your bunk bed. Some types of bunk beds come with a long ladder that connects the lower and upper guard rails, whereas other types have a shorter ladder that is attached to the front of the upper guard rail. This is the best option for children because it makes climbing to the top bunk more secure and more comfortable.
