Choosing a Small Bunk Bed For Kids

Bunk beds can add a sense of adventure to your child's room. They can also help save space in tiny rooms.

Size

The right bunk or loft bed for children frees the floor space to play while giving a unique look to their bedroom. Pick a bunk bed with a low profile that's just 2 inches above the floor for smaller rooms. If you need more space, choose a twin over full or a twin loft bed with shelves and a desk built into. You can also get a stacked bunk bed that can sleep three children at once (just ensure you have enough ceiling space for the triple option).

Bunk beds are very popular especially for children who share a space or who's space in their bedroom is restricted.

Safety

Many people pick bunk beds for children because they're space-savers, but they can also pose a serious safety risk for children who aren't old enough to be sleeping on the top bunk. Kids can fall off the bottom of the mattress or fall into the gap between the ladder and the mattress at the bottom. If you want to make sure that your children are sleeping in a safe way, pick a bunk bed that is in compliance with national safety standards. It should be inspected by an independent testing laboratory.

Make sure the bed is equipped with guard rails throughout with gaps of not greater than 3.5 inch to prevent strangulation. Be sure that the mattress foundation is not too deep and firm. A mattress that is too deep could cause the guardrails to collapse. Avoid bunk beds that have ladders that extend beyond the frame. These kinds of ladders are more prone to getting caught in curtains or other objects. Children should never play or climb on the side of a bunk bed and they shouldn't use toys or other things in or near the ladder. The best place to put bunk beds is in the corner of the room, so that the beds are hugged on both sides by walls. It's also important to keep bunk beds clear from ceiling fans as they could be dangerous if a person falls and bumps their head when they are lying upright in the bed.

To prevent accidents, stairs or ladders should have anti-entrapment features and be attached to bunk beds to prevent accidents. It is also a good idea to have a sturdy surface for kids to climb and fall down, such as carpet or a stair runner.

It is important to teach children the rules for using bunk beds, such as not jumping or playing on them and only sleeping on them. Also, instruct them to use the ladder for going up and down, not as an exercise stool or climbing frame. Children should also be taught not to hang items such as belts, scarves, jump ropes, or other decorations on the bunk beds because they could cause strangulation.

Convenience

A bunk bed is an excellent way to free up space in a shared room and also make it easier to sleep for your children. But, it's essential to consider the safety characteristics of each bunk bed prior to making a purchase. Some beds have stairs and others have ladders. Both are useful, but you should ensure that they're constructed of solid wood and won't fall off or create a hazard when employed. Staircases are generally more secure than ladders because they are built directly into the frame of the bed. Ladders can be dangerous for young children, as they are easily climbed over and could cause falls if they are not secured properly.

Another excellent bunk bed convenience feature is a trundle which lets you add an additional sleeping space for guests. This is an excellent option for children who like having sleepovers. It also eliminates the necessity for separate drawers or an armoire in a smaller space. Many bunk beds come with the trundle as part of the bed, but you can also discover trundles on their own that fit under the bottom bunk to give your kids more storage space in their room.

Some bunk beds come with a desk, so your children can complete their homework or work in the private space of their bedroom. This can be a huge convenience for school-aged children who must keep on top of their studies, and will help to develop good habits that will carry into the future when they begin working independently. Bunk beds that have a desk can also be used as an ideal place for kids to have their own playroom which will encourage them to spend more time with friends and family members outside of school.

If your kids love playing with their imagination and play, then a bunk bed with slides is perfect for them. This will transform their bunks into a double-decker pirate ship, or tree house. It's also a great way for families to spend time with your children.
