Size

A bunk bed is a great way to free up space in a bedroom. It's also a great choice when you have a number of children sharing a room or if you wish to add some extra sleeping capacity for guests. Bunk beds are usually stacked one over the other and accessible via the ladder. They can be either metal or wood and come in different sizes to suit your space. The size of a bunk bed is determined by the mattress size and frame design. Traditional twin-over-twin bunks accommodate standard twin mattresses, while modern bunk beds typically have larger full-size mattresses.

In addition, a high bunk can be difficult to climb up and down, especially for younger kids. Many parents choose to purchase bunk beds that can be divided into lofted beds.

Some bunk beds also feature slides that is a fun addition to any child's room.

Safety

While accidents in bunk beds do occur, they are generally due to unsafe practices or poor construction rather than a fault with the design or manufacture of the beds themselves. It is therefore crucial that you be sure to read the safety features of your child's mattress carefully before allowing them to sleep on it. Also, make sure any friends sleeping over are aware of the rules for bunk bed safety as well.

Metal fasteners that protrude from the bed frame could cut or snag clothing.

Guard rails are another important security feature. They must be at least five inches in height and extend along the entire length of the mattress.

Finally it is recommended that you only allow one child to sleep on the upper bunk until they reach the age of six years old and you have taken steps to ensure they are able to safely climb up and down the ladder each day.

Make sure to inspect the bunk bed regularly for wear and tear or damage that could lead to an accident.
