It's a good idea choose a mattress that is about one inch thicker than your child's bed.

Materials The style you want will determine the materials you choose for your bunk beds.

No matter what material you choose, it's important to select sturdy wood that is able to support the weight of the mattress. It is also important to account for the height of the bunk bed and its position in your room. This will determine the amount of clearance around the mattress, as well as how it will be easy for you to get into and out of the bed.

Safety Bunk beds are a fun feature for any room however they can risk injury if not utilized correctly. It's vital to follow safety instructions when using bunk beds and teach your children the correct method of using them. Making the effort to do this will eliminate any hazards that are associated with these kinds of beds, and your kids will be able to sleep happily. One of the most frequent causes of accidents in bunk beds is falling out of or getting stuck in the top mattress. This is why it's important to ensure that there aren't any gaps or other spots that your children can get stuck. The best way to do this is by checking that all edges of the bunk bed are smooth, and that there are no protrusions that could trap a child or cause them injury. Guard rails are a crucial security feature. Ideally, they are placed at least five inches high above the bunk bed's lower mattress. This will prevent the face of a child from getting trapped between the mattress bottom and the guard rail. The height of the guard rails must be consistent on all sides, and should never be less than 3.5 inches apart. It is also important to ensure that the distance between the mattress and the wall is not more than 5 inches. It should be a secure fit, and it must be tested to ensure that there's no potential for neck entrapment. You will need to test both sides of the bunk openings in the lower bunk using wedge. The block must be able to pass through the opening without any obstruction. A sphere that is 9 inches in diameter can also be used to test for neck entrapment. Additionally, you must make sure that your bunk beds are positioned far enough away from ceiling blinds, curtains and fans (which could all be the risk of strangulation), lights and heaters. This will eliminate any dangers from tripping or fire, and help to keep your children cool while they sleep. Design Take into consideration the overall design of a bunkbed when selecting one. This includes the overall appearance and how well it will fit into your child's room. Bunk beds come in different sizes, including twin over full, twin over twin and full over double. There is also the option to get a futon-style bunk bed, which combines an upper bed that is standard with the lower couch or platform that can be adjusted to be used as a sleeping space. Some bunk beds may also have stairs leading to the top instead of a ladder. Stairs can be more secure for kids who are younger however they require more space than ladders. If you choose stairs, make sure they are surrounded by a guard rail and a sufficient space between the steps to prevent accidents. Some bunk beds can be separated into single beds when your children grow out of them or want their own space in a different room. This can save you money on a brand new bed, and give your children more space in their bedrooms for activities. You can add extra storage space to your bunk beds by adding a set of drawers underneath the bed or built-in shelving along the sides. This will keep the rooms of your children tidy and organized, while providing them with additional storage space for clothes books, toys, and other items.
