Size A bunk bed is an excellent way to save space in a bedroom. It's also a great option if you have multiple children sharing a space or if you wish to provide additional sleeping space for guests. Bunk beds are generally built one on top of the other and accessible via a ladder. Wood or metal they are available in different sizes to suit your space. The size of the bunk bed is determined by the size of the mattress and the frame type. Traditional twin-over-twin bunks can accommodate traditional twin mattresses whereas modern bunk beds typically include roomier full-size mattresses. Triple, L-shaped or trundle beds can accommodate a queen or even King-sized mattresses for those who want more space to sleep. The majority of bunk beds require 33 to 36 inches between the top and bottom bunk mattresses. It's important to consider that a bed with a higher level may need more space, particularly in the case of a child sleeping in the top bunk. Also, a higher bunk can be difficult to climb up and down, particularly for children who are younger. This is the reason why many parents choose to purchase bunk beds that can be separated into separate lofted beds. These beds come with the benefit of providing children with more privacy and allowing them to alter the height of their bunks as they grow older. Another method of increasing the amount of space you can sleep in is by selecting a model that offers an built-in futon. These beds can also serve as a seating area during the daytime. Some even feature built-in storage drawers. The top bunk beds allow you to easily move the futon from the bottom bunk to the top bunk. This makes the bed ideal for kids who are still growing and adults who need more space for seating. It is important to think about the kind of ladder you prefer when choosing a bunk bed. Some models come with straight ladders, while others come with an angle ladder or staircase. Straight ladders require less space and are simpler to construct, while staircases look stylish, however they require a bit more assembly time. Some bunk beds include slides that are an excellent addition to any child's bedroom. Safety Although bunk bed injuries do occur, they're usually due to unsafe practices or poor construction rather than an issue with the design or manufacture of the beds themselves. It is essential to thoroughly examine the safety features of your child's bed prior to allowing him to sleep there. Also, ensure that any family members staying over know how to use the bunk bed safely. One of the most important aspects of bunk bed safety is that it has to be strong enough to withstand the weight of two kids who sleep on it without bending or falling over. It is also a good idea that all wooden components be smooth and free of any sharp edges or corner that could cause injuries. Metal fasteners that protrude from the bed frame may cut or snag clothing. Guard rails are an additional safety feature. They should be at a minimum of five inches in height and should be positioned along all sides of the mattress. There shouldn't be gaps, openings or holes on the mattress or wall where a child's head and torso might get caught. These could pose serious strangulation hazards. It is also important to ensure that your children don't hang anything on their bunk beds, especially belts and scarves. These can get tangled up and create a significant danger of strangulation. Also, keep any sporting equipment from bunk beds, for example skipping ropes, since they can pose a strangulation risk. In addition it is recommended that you only allow one child to sleep in the upper bunk until they reach the age of six years of age and you have taken steps to ensure they can safely climb up and down the ladder every day. It's also a good idea to remove the ladder at night, so that children aren't able to climb it and fall off the bunk bed. Also, make sure to check the bunk bed for any damage or wear and tear that could lead to an accident. Style There are plenty of options when you are looking for a bunk bed that's elegant. You can choose between various designs for footboards and headboards and styles, as well as the typical metal or wood frames. Some are sleek and stylish and some have an integrated desk or unique storage space. You can even find some that look like a house or play structure, perfect for adding a bunk-room-meets-playground vibe to your home. Another method to make your children their bunk beds pop is to add a splash of color. A striking pattern or bright paint job can transform your bedroom into a chic retreat. Keep the look simple by using neutral tones and natural finishes for a timeless design that feels modern as your children get older. Bunk beds can be used in guest rooms and vacation homes. You may want to consider a convertible bed that could be split into twin beds in the near future. Harper & Bright offers a solid wood construction that comes with six different finishes.

Some models are tall enough to accommodate ladders, while other models have stairs that provide safety and more convenient access to the top level. The ladder can be straight or angled. It's important that it is stable and easy to navigate for your child. If you have high ceilings, choose a loft-style bunk or mezzanine-style bunk. This will allow you more space underneath the mattress. The space can be used as an office or play space and is a great place to display family photographs or other personal items.
