Kids Double Bunk Bed
Double bunk beds for kids are a great option for siblings sharing the same space. Just remember that it's recommended that the child who sleeps on the top floor is over six years old, and that you ban horseplay and jumping on beds.
Check that the mattress foundation doesn't have any gaps large enough, which could allow the child to pass through.
Safety
Bunk beds can be a safe space for children to sleep if they are properly installed and the parents adhere to certain safety guidelines. The first step is to make sure that the bunk bed is positioned in a corner to ensure that it doesn't shake as children climb up and down the ladder.
It is crucial to instruct your children to never play on the bunk bed or within it. Take away any toys that could pose a tripping hazard. Children should be taught to use the ladder at any time they wish to enter or exit the upper bunk.
Children shouldn't be allowed to sleep on the top bunk unless they're older than six years old. The reason for this is that children younger than six may not have the maturity or coordination required to safely navigate the ladder. Additionally it is crucial to ensure that the guardrails on the upper bunk are securely secured and that there aren't any gaps which might let children slide through and end up trapped beneath the mattress.
The foundation area of the lower and upper bunks should be made of solid wood and not slats. The slat-based systems can collapse under the weight of kids and cause serious injuries. It is also a good idea reinforce the bottom bunk using cross ties in order to prevent it from moving due to the weight of children.
It is a good idea if the child will be sleeping alone on the bottom bunk, to install a safety rail. This will help to prevent the child from falling off the edge of the bunk in the event that they fall out of bed during the night.
A simple precaution is to make sure that the bunk bed doesn't be placed directly under a ceiling fan. This reduces the chance of accidents or injuries when the ceiling fan is on. Additionally, the bunk bed should be set away from windows, as this will reduce the risk of children attempting to reach them from the top of the bunk bed.
Style
As children grow older and move from a crib to a single bed, they might wish to feel as if they are part of an entire room for kids. Bunk beds are an excellent option to accomplish this. They are available in a variety of designs and styles to fit any style. Additionally, they help to conserve space so that children have more room for play or storage. Bunk beds are available in a variety of sizes for kids of all ages. They also come with stairs or ladders, which could make it easier for kids to climb and descend from their beds.
A bunk bed can be a focal point in the kids' bedroom and can influence the overall design of the space. For instance, this house-themed twin over twin bunk bed by Belton Furniture offers a playful twist on traditional bunk beds. The sturdy frame is designed with safety in mind and has been tested to support up to 400 pounds. The guard rails as well as the attached ladder give the treehouse appearance, while a built-in desk at the bottom is a great place to do homework and crafts.
