Size

Bunk beds are a great option to save space in a bedroom and provide extra room for books, toys, and other things. A lot of models are made to be able to accommodate twin beds and have slats, or bunk boards, that eliminate the need for box springs. While bunk beds are intended for children, they can be used by teens and adults when the weight limit is not exceeded. A mattress that is too heavy can cause the bottom or top bunk to fall, which could pose risk to sleepers sleeping at these levels.

For instance, you can make use of premium, furniture-grade plywood, or rustic, organic looking 5/4 pine, or 2-by framing for modern appearance, or you can opt for a more traditional made of welded construction. No matter what material you select, it's crucial to select a sturdy wood that will support the weight of your mattress.

Safety

Bunk beds are a fun addition to any child's room, but they can also risk injury if not utilized correctly. It's vital to follow the safety guidelines when using bunk beds, and to teach your children the proper way to use them. Taking the time to do this will eliminate any dangers associated with these beds, and your kids can sleep happily.

One of the most common causes of bunk bed accidents is when a child falls out of the top mattress or becomes stuck. It is essential to ensure there are no gaps, or other areas where your children might get trapped. Be sure that the edges of the bunk beds are clean and there aren't any sharp edges that could cause injury to a child.

Another important aspect of safety is guard rails. Ideally, they should be set at least five inches above the lower bunk mattress. This will ensure that a child's head won't become trapped between the mattress and the bottom of the guard rail. The guard rails should be equal in height on all sides and never less than 3.5 inches apart.

It's also essential to check that the distance between the mattress foundation and the wall on which the ladder is situated is less than five inches. It should be a secure fit, and must be tested to ensure that there is no chance of neck entrapment. To do this, you'll be required to test the openings on both ends of the lower bunk using the wedge block. The block must be able to pass through the opening with ease, and it must also be possible to test for neck entrapment passing a rigid 9-inch sphere through the same openings.

The last thing to do is make sure that your bunk beds don't block ceiling blinds, fans, curtains or heaters. All of these could present the risk of strangulation. This will eliminate any dangers from tripping or fire, and also help keep your children cool when they sleep.

Design

Think about the overall layout of a bunkbed when selecting one. Consider the overall design and how it will fit in your child's bedroom. Bunk beds come in various sizes, including twin over full, twin over twin or full over double. You can also purchase a futon-style bunk bed, which is a combination of an ordinary upper bed with an lower couch or platform that can be repositioned to serve as another sleeping space. Some bunk beds have stairs that lead to the top, instead of a ladder. Stairs are generally safer for smaller children, but they can take more space than a ladder does. If you opt for stairs, ensure that they are placed with a safety rail and adequate space between the steps to prevent accidents.

Some bunk beds can be separated into single bunk bed with storage beds if your children get out of them or want their own space in a different room. This will save you money on an additional bed and gives your kids more room to play in their room.
