Bunk Beds Add Style and Character to Kids' Rooms
Bunk beds can bring style and character to a room for children. They're available in a wide variety of styles and configurations, from traditional twin over full, futon to L-shaped.
Most bunk beds have ladders. They are easy to climb and use less floor space than stairs. Some have a fixed ladder while others place the ladder on either the right or left side of the long side of the bunk.
Size
There are a variety of sizes of bunk beds available to meet the requirements of families. The standard bunk bed has two twin mattresses that are stacked vertically on one another. However, other sizes like queen, full or twin XL could also be used. The height of the top bed may also be adjusted in order to increase or decrease the distance between the ceiling and the sleepers.
Some manufacturers recommend that there be at minimum 6-8 inches of space between the mattress's bottom and top of slats. This ensures that top sleepers have enough space to move around and avoid hitting their heads against the ceiling as they climb into or out of the mattress. A guard rail is usually located at the bottom of the mattress to protect the possibility of falling while sleeping.
The triple bunk is an additional option that can be found in a variety of styles and configurations. This configuration is usually made up of two beds that are stacked horizontally and one twin bed at the bottom. This type of bunk bed is great for siblings sharing a room or for college dormitories as well as summer camps where students are required to share rooms.

Safety
Bunk beds can be ideal for a room for children. However they can pose a risk in the event that they are not properly checked or constructed. About 36,000 injuries caused by bunk beds require emergency room treatment every year. Fortunately, most of these injuries are minor. Children who are younger are at highest risk of injury due to the fact that they don't have a fully developed sense of space. They are also more likely to jump onto or off the top bunk, and also to utilize their beds for play activities. This is one of the reasons why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents to not allow children younger than six years old to sleep on their top bunk.
Parents can make sure their children's bunk bed is safe by following a few simple guidelines. For example ladders should be put on the outside of the bunk and not inside of it. Also, the rails should be at least five inches above the mattress, and the space to climb in and out of bed should not be larger than fifteen inches. The beds should not be placed in close proximity to windows or behind furniture that could fall onto children while they sleep.
Parents should strictly follow the directions of the manufacturer when building a bunk bed. Screws should not be pushed enough to cause cracks in the wood. Additionally, the bed should not creak or rock. It is recommended to get the bunk beds tested by an expert after they have been constructed, and to have an expert test them prior to allowing your children to use them.
Bunk beds are a great way to save space and bring style to a child's bedroom. It is essential that parents set rules for their kids and supervise them closely to avoid injuries. It is also a good idea to have a nightlight within the room, and to teach your children that hanging objects on beds is not safe. This poses a risk of strangulation. Children should be taught that playing rough with each other is not a good idea around beds and furniture.
