Kids Double Bunk Bed
Double bunk beds for kids are a great choice for siblings who share the same room. Make sure that the child in the top bunk bed must be at least six years of age. Also, you should not allow horseplay or jumping on the beds.
Check that the mattress foundation does not have large gaps that could let a child through.
Safety
Bunk beds can be a safe space for children to sleep in if they are set up correctly and if parents adhere to certain safety guidelines. First, ensure that the bunk bed is in a corner so that it won't sway when children climb up the ladder.
It is crucial to instruct your children to not play on the bunk bed or within it. Remove any toys that could pose dangerous to trip on. Children should also be instructed to always use the ladder for getting into and out of the bunk above.
Children shouldn't be allowed to sleep on the top bunk unless they are older than six years old. The reason is that younger children might not have the maturity or coordination required to safely navigate the ladder. In addition, it is essential to ensure that the guardrails on the upper bunk are properly secured and that there aren't any gaps which can let children slide through and become trapped beneath the mattress.
Another important safety feature to take into consideration is that the foundation of both the lower and upper bunks should be built with solid wood and not slats. Slat-based systems are susceptible to collapse under the weight and can cause serious injuries. It is also a good idea to reinforce the bunk's bottom with cross-ties to prevent it from shifting due to the weight of children.
It is also recommended to secure the bottom bunk by a safety rail if the child is sleeping on it by themselves. This will stop the child from falling over the edge of the bunk should they roll out in the night.
Another precaution that is easy to implement is to make sure that the bunk bed is not located directly beneath a ceiling fan. This will prevent the risk of injuries and accidents occurring when the fan is in operation. Additionally the bunk bed should be positioned away from windows as this will reduce the risk of children trying to reach them from the upper part of the bunk bed.
Style
As kids get older and transition from a crib to a single bed they might desire to feel like they belong in the big kid's room. Bunk beds can be a solution to achieve that. They are available in different designs and finishes that suit any design scheme. They also help save space, so that kids have more room to store their toys or to play. Bunk beds come in different sizes for children of all different ages. They can also be equipped with stairs or ladders to make it easier for children to move into and out of their beds.
A bunk bed can be a focal point in the bedroom of your child and can influence the overall design of the room. Belton Furniture's twin over twin bunk beds for instance, are themed after houses and provide a playful take on traditional bunks. The sturdy frame was created with safety in mind and has been tested to support up to 400 pounds. The ladder and guard rails add to the look of a treehouse. A built-in desk at the bottom level is perfect for studying or making crafts.
If you're designing a kids' room for your growing teenagers or little ones, the right bunk bed can bring design, fun and functionality to their space. When you're considering a bunk bed for your kids make a list of the people who will be sleeping in the room. Do you need to accommodate children only or is the space meant for siblings? Do you require an extra bed for guests or sleepovers? Knowing who will be sleeping in the bunks can help you narrow down your options and find the ideal double bunk bed for your home.

When selecting a double bunk bed for your kids there are a few key factors to consider. You'll want to choose a frame that is constructed from solid wood or metal and is both durable and stable. It should be able to fit a standard twin mattress and include guard rails for safety. For access to the top bunk, a ladder could be added as an optional option. However stairs are the best option for older children who may be unable to climb the ladder. Stairs can be safer and they are often multi-purpose. They can also serve as a storage space or as a seat.
Based on the model you choose Some bunk beds come with a mattress of full size for the bottom. This gives you an additional sleeping space for guests and eliminates the requirement to purchase a separate guest bed. Many models can be easily converted into two twin beds when your child is out of the bunk bed or you want to use the space for a different purpose.
