Double Bunk Beds Top and Bottom

Bunk beds are a great way to store things, and add functionality and style to a kids' room. Many of these sets can be made into separate beds so they can grow with your child and remain a useful sleeping option.

One thing to remember is that bunk beds require a tall ceiling. You need to ensure that you have enough headspace to safely get into and out of the bed.

Size

Double bunk bed double bed bottom beds are available in many sizes. It is essential to measure the space available in your room prior to buying. Also, be aware of the height of your ceilings as this will affect the safety and comfort.

If your ceilings have a high height, you might want to consider a lofted twin bed that can be divided into two separate beds. This will allow you to make more space in your room and give each child their private bedroom to host sleepovers and other parties. Some lofted bed styles include built-in drawers that can be used for storage which is particularly useful if you only have a limited floor space to work with.

Another thing to think about is the kind of staircase or ladder that will be used to construct the bunk bed. A few bunk bed designs use a straight staircase some have an angled or a staircase that has handrails. Both options are safe and simple for children to climb, however the type you pick will be determined by the amount of floor space available in your space. Straight ladders are less space-consuming, but stairs offer additional safety features like handrails, storage and built-in storage.

The size of the mattress of the top bunk is an important factor to consider. It is important that the mattress in your top bunk is not too thick. This can cause the sleeper to fall and be injured. Most bunk mattress manufacturers recommend a full-size mattress for the top bunk, and a twin-size mattress or a twin XL for the bottom bunk.

When selecting a bunk bed you must also take into account the age of your children. Children younger than six years old should not sleep in the top bunk as they could fall and hurt themselves. Set firm rules for your children and make sure they follow them.

You should also show them how to use the ladder safely and not hang anything on the guardrails of the top bunk. This includes scarves, or belts. You should make it clear to your children that the top bunk cannot be used as a play area. These items can create strangulation hazards. You can also install an illuminated clip next to the ladder, which will help your children navigate back to the stairs in the dark.

Style

Bunk beds come in different styles. Some bunk beds are more traditional in design while others have a more casual rustic feel. Other styles have a straight, clean style that would be perfect for a bedroom. Whatever style you pick make sure that safety is always the top priority. Place the bunk beds in such a way that your children do not bump against each other when getting into and out of bed. Also, ensure that the bunks are positioned far enough away from ceiling fans, windows (especially blind cords that pose a strangulation risk), lights and heaters.

When it comes to style bunk beds come in a wide variety of colors and finishes. Some feature an attractive natural wood grain, and others are painted that ranges from neutral stone to a bold navy. The wood finish will also affect the overall appearance of the bed, so it's important to consider your kids' room color scheme when picking the bunk bed.

If you're looking to ensure that your children's bunk bed is growing with them, choose a model which can be divided into two beds when they are ready to transition to the teenage years. This model by Harper & Bright comes in various beautiful painted finishes as well as a rich walnut.

Many parents choose to go for a double bed with stairs, since it allows their children to easily get into and out of the top mattress without worrying about falling off the ladder. If you have children who aren't quite ready to climb stairs, there are other options. This twin over queen bunkbed from Harper & Bright, for example, can accommodate three mattresses. It also has an easy pull-out Trundle that can fit a single bed between one side rail.

Whatever style you pick, make sure that your kids understand that the top bunk is intended for sleeping only. This must be reinforced frequently, especially when guests are inclined to sleep on the top bunk. You should also emphasize safety rules when your children are hosting a sleepover.

Safety

While bunk beds are fun and exciting, they do have some safety concerns to be considered. It is crucial to follow the guidelines set forth by the manufacturer of your bunk bed and to frequently check for any missing or damaged parts. You should also make sure that the frame of the bunk bed is strong enough and secure, especially when sleeping in the uppermost area. Children shouldn't play on the top bunk, and must learn that they can only sleep on it for a single time. This may be an unattainable rule to enforce, but it is for their own safety.

Another crucial safety measure is to ensure that the mattress on the top bunk fits properly. The mattress on the top bunk should not be more than 15cm and should be able to fit snugly into the rails of the guard. A mattress that is more deep can cause the side guards to shift away from the wall, which could lead to falling from the bunk bed. The mattress in the bottom bunk is supported by slats, wires or slats running directly underneath it and fastened at both ends. If the mattress is held only by the frame or slats of the bed, it could fall through into the bottom bunk, causing injury to the child who sleeps on the floor.

Finally, it is essential to have a ladder that permits your child to climb into the top bunk safely. Many manufacturers provide angled ladders that are more stable than traditional vertical ones. They are ideal for smaller children. You should also consider using a nightlight in order to help your child find the ladder in the dark.

More than half of all bunk double bed injuries to beds happen to children who are less than six years old old. Children who are too young to sleep on the top bunk could injure themselves by falling off during a nap, or while playing. Most of these accidents can be avoided with simple safety measures. It is also a good idea to use a full-length, fitted sheet on the top bunk, and to install guardrails on both sides of the upper bunk.

Mattress

Bunk beds are an excellent space-saving solution for rooms who have limited storage or living space. They allow two, even three people to comfortably sleep in a single bedroom by putting one bed on the top of another. These space-saving, fun frames can be used to accommodate twin queen, full, or twin mattresses and can be combined with storage options such as drawers and trundles to maximize the space for sleeping.

It is essential to determine the size of your mattress and its thickness before purchasing a bunk bed. In general, the more thick the mattress on your bunk bed it, the more space will be between the sleeper and the ceiling. It's also important to choose a mattress that is the right height for the top bunk so you can safely use the guard rails and get out and into the bed easily.

If you choose a thicker mattress for the top bunk it's a good idea to also select a smaller trundle that will fit into the lower frame so that there will be more headroom between the lower and upper beds. This reduces the chance of hitting your head while reading a book, or getting ready for bed. It also makes it easier to switch between bedding and mattresses.
