Safety

Safety is an important aspect to consider when buying a bunk bed. Bunk beds can be incredibly risky if they're not constructed or if children don't adhere to the rules. It's important that you determine the area you'd like to place it and compare the dimensions of the frame against the dimensions of your mattress. This will ensure that the mattress is perfectly fitted and your child will be able to move into and out of the bed without difficulties.

One of the most important safety features to look for is guard rails both on the top and bottom bunks. They should be constructed of solid wood that is securely attached to the frame of the bunk. Any gaps, openings or holes in the frame of the bed should be sized so that children's legs, heads or torsos cannot get caught in them. To prevent tripping hazards, it is a good idea to ensure that ladders and stairs used to climb the frame of the bunk bed are part or the frame itself.

Another important safety rule is to not let children under the age of six to sleep on the top bunk. Most injuries related to bunk beds occur to children younger than this age, and more than half occur due to falls. It's a good idea, as well, to set clear rules for the use of the bunk bed, and to emphasize that the top bunk should not be used for jumping or playing.

Finally, it's recommended to make sure that no belts, clothes or jump ropes are hanging from the frame of the bunk bed because they could pose serious strangulation risks to children. You can buy clip on shelves that secure easily to the sides of the bunk. They will give your child a place to keep their night time essentials so they don't have to get up out of bed to look for them in the dark.

Storage

Bunk beds allow two persons to sleep in the same space without taking up the space. The bed's upper portion is typically accessible via a ladder, which is great for children sharing bedrooms, or for family members who live in small apartments.

Bunk beds come in many sizes and styles to fit into any space. They can be made to meet the needs of each individual sleeping. If, for instance, one child prefers to sleep on the top of the bunk and the other on the bottom, the beds could then be arranged so that they face each one. This allows each child to have their own private space, while still being surrounded by family members.

Another feature that many homeowners of bunk beds enjoy is the possibility of adding storage drawers underneath or trundles to their frames. These accessories can be put under the bunk bed to store clothes or blankets. They also provide extra room for sleepovers during visits from guests.

Trundles are also available for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. These mattresses can be accessed with one step and are located under the bunk bed's bottom. This can provide a comfortable spot for a second sleeping space when guests are coming and does away with the need to pull out an air mattress.

Safety features are essential for anyone who is considering buying a bunk bed. Be sure to check for side rails on the lower and upper bunks to prevent the child from falling off the top bunk. It's important to also consider how thick a mattress can be comfortably fitted on the upper bunk. A mattress that is too thick may cause a child to slide off the railings and hurt themselves.

Other safety options include the type of ladder you choose for your bunk bed. Certain bunk beds come with a long ladder that connects the upper and lower guard rails, whereas others offer an easier ladder that connects to the front of the upper guard rail.
