Double Bunk Beds Top and Bottom

Bunk beds can add style, storage and functionality to a child's room. Many of these sets transform into separate beds, which allows them to grow with the kids and still provide a practical sleeping option.

One thing to keep in mind is that bunk beds require a tall ceiling. You need to make sure that there is enough headspace to be able to safely enter and out of the bed.

Size

Double bunk beds top and bottom are available in various sizes, so it's crucial to determine the space available in your room before you buy. It is also important to consider the height of your ceilings because the height of your bunk bed will affect its security and comfort level.

If your ceilings are very high, you may be interested in an lofted bed that can be disassembled into two separate twin beds. You can save space in your bedroom and offer each child their own space for sleepovers or party. Some lofted beds have built-in drawers for extra storage which is particularly useful if you have limited floor space to work with.

The type of ladder or staircase that is used to construct the bunk bed is another aspect to take into consideration. The majority of bunk beds have straight staircases and others have an angled one or a staircase that has handrails. Both options are easy to climb and safe for children, but which style you choose depends on the amount of space available in your bedroom. Straight ladders are more space-efficient but stairs also come with safety features like handrails and built in storage.

The mattress size of the top bunk is also a crucial consideration. It is crucial that the mattress on the top bunk isn't too thick. This could cause the sleeping person to fall and become injured. The majority of bunk mattress manufacturers recommend a DHP Phoenix Full Bunk Bed - White Color (reviews over at Bunkbedsstore)-size mattress for the top bunk, and twin-sized mattresses or a twin XL for the bottom bunk.

You should also consider the age of your kids when choosing the bunk bed. Children younger than six years old shouldn't be sleeping on the top bunk because they could easily fall off and injure themselves. Set firm rules for your children, and make sure they follow them.

You should also instruct your kids to use the ladder correctly and to stay clear of hanging anything from the rails of the top bunk, like scarves or belts. It is important to communicate to your children that the top bunk is not to be used as a play area. These items can cause strangulation dangers. Install a clip-light right next to the staircase that will help your children find their way down the stairs at night.

Style

Bunk beds are available in different styles. Some bunk double bed with desk beds have a more traditional design while others have a more casual rustic feel. Other options have a direct and clean style that will look right at home in the bedroom. Whatever style you decide to go with, safety should always be the top priority. Position the bunk beds so that your children do not bump against each other when going into or out of bed. Also, check that the bunks are far enough away from windows, ceiling fans (especially blind cords, which can are a risk of strangulation) lighting and heaters.

Some bunk beds have beautiful wood grain, while others are painted with a variety of shades, ranging from neutral stone to vibrant blue. The wood finish may affect the overall appearance of the bed. So, it's important to consider the color scheme of the room of your child when selecting the right bunk bed.

Safety

While bunk beds can be fun and exciting, they have safety issues that must be considered. It is essential to inspect your bunk bed on a regular basis for loose or missing pieces and to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. It is also important to ensure that the frame of the bunk bed is strong enough and secure, especially when you are using the top sleeping area. Children should not play on the top bunk and should be taught to only sleep in it at one time. This might seem like an unattainable rule to enforce, but it is for their safety.

A second important safety measure is to ensure that the mattress in the top bunk is properly fitted. The mattress on top should be no deeper than 15cm, and it should fit snugly within the guard rails of the bunk bed. A mattress that is more deep could cause the side guards of the bunk bed to deflect from the wall. This could lead to an unintentional fall from the bed. The mattress in the bottom bunk must be supported by wires, slats, or slats that run directly underneath it, and secured at both ends. If a mattress was only held up by the bed frame or slats it could fall down to the bottom bunk, causing injuries to the child.

Lastly, it is important to have a ladder that permits your child to climb up the top bunk safely. Many manufacturers offer inclined ladders that are more sturdy than the traditional vertical ones. They are great for younger children, and you might want to consider using a nightlight to help your child find the ladder in the dark.

You should also select a mattress that is at the right height for the top bunk to allow you to use the guardrails and get into and out of bed in a safe manner.

It's a great idea to choose a thicker mattress on the top bunk, and a thinner trundle bed that will fit in the lower frame. This will allow you more headroom between your lower and upper beds.
