Buying Bunk Beds Kids Bunk beds allow siblings to share a space without compromising their privacy and they can also be a great option for sleepovers. They can be equipped with stairs or ladders to reach the top bunk and are constructed from wood and metal. Size When shopping for a bunk bed, take careful measurements and compare them to your room dimensions. It is important to ensure that there's plenty of space for kids to climb up and down the ladder (or stairs if your bunk includes them) and to maneuver around the loft without bumping into furniture or walls. Also, you should consider the dimensions of the bunk bed as well as headroom in relation to your child's standing and sitting height. You might need to buy a bunk bed that is shorter to accommodate younger kids and older children might prefer a higher configuration. Bunk beds for kids are available in two different configurations – twin-overtwin or full-overfull. Both are great for accommodating multiple kids in a room. Some bunks include an trundle that can accommodate additional guests for sleepovers. If your kids are still young, consider a bunk that is low with a bottom bunk that is not more than 50 inches off the ground. This will prevent your children from falling out of their beds, which is an accident hazard. Another thing to take into consideration is the amount of clearance between the top bunk and the guardrails. The CPSC recommends that the top bunk's mattress to be no more than 5 inches over the guardrail. This will stop your kids from rolling out of their mattress in the middle of the night and into the guardrails, which can cause entrapment or falls. Ganjian says that the top bunk beds are made with sturdy materials, and they comply with CPSC safety requirements.

It is essential to follow the safety and assembly guidelines, use the right mattress size, and place the bunk beds in a way that they don't interfere with windows, heaters or hanging lights. It is also recommended to regularly check the bunk bed for any signs of wear and tear, and make repairs as required. The top bunk's height should be restricted to four feet. There should be guardrails on both sides of the bed. The space between the guardrails should not be larger than 3 ½ inches to prevent the risk of suffocation, and to ensure that your child can't roll under the guardrail while sleeping. The mattress on the bottom should be supported by wires or slats that run directly underneath the bunk and secured with a strong bolt at both ends to avoid the possibility of a gap that your child might fall through. The ladders and stairs must be securely attached to bunk beds and offer a safe way to climb up to the highest level. Be sure that the ladder isn't in close proximity to any dangers and that your children know they can only use it to climb up into bed. Avoid rough play on the bunks because it could affect their stability. It is impossible to determine a specific age for children to sleep in bunk beds. However, a lot of experts suggest that children do not sleep on the top bunk until they're at least six years of age and are old enough to remain still while sleeping. If you're unsure whether your child is ready to climb the top bunk, consider opting for a twin/full size bunk.
