Size

Bunk beds save space and provide room for books, toys and other things that could otherwise clutter the bedroom. A lot of models are made to fit in twin beds and come with slats or bunk boards that remove the need for box springs. Although they're intended for children, bunks also are suitable for teenagers and adults as they ensure that the weight limit isn't over. A mattress that is too heavy may cause the bottom or top bunk to fall which could create risk to sleepers sleeping on those levels.

It's a good idea pick a mattress about 1 inch thicker than your child's bed. This will give your children plenty of room to stretch their legs and provide some extra cushioning for those that snore. A memory foam or hybrid bed is perfect for bunk beds. They fit snugly to the body and aid in circulation.

It is a good idea to consult with your doctor before purchasing a bunk bed in order to make sure that it won't interfere with any medical conditions. This will give you peace of mind that you've made the right decision for your family and children.

When you are choosing a bunk bed, the design must match the decor of your home. There are a variety of designs and styles available, so you're sure to find one that matches your style. Some models have a simple, sleek style, while others have more elaborate headboards and footboards which add more visual interest to the room.

Materials

The materials you pick for your bunk bed will depend on the style you wish to achieve. For example, you can make use of premium, furniture-grade plywood, or rustic, organic looking 5/4 pine, or 2-by framing for modern appearance or go with a more traditional welded construction. Regardless of your material choice it's essential to choose solid wood that can withstand the weight of the mattress.

It's also important to take into account for the size of the bunk bed as well as the position it is in your room. This will determine how much space there is around the mattress and how easy it is to get into and out of the bed. Make sure you take a measurement of the floor space available and employ a stud finder to locate studs to attach the frame to.

When building a bunk bed it's important to keep in mind that the ladder is a crucial component of the structure.

Safety

Bunk beds can be an excellent addition to a child's bedroom, but if not used properly, they could be dangerous. It's vital to follow safety instructions when using bunk beds and teach your children the proper methods of using them. This will eliminate any risks associated with these beds, and allow your children to sleep in these beds.

One of the main causes of bunk bed accidents is falling out of or getting stuck in the top mattress. This is the reason it's crucial to ensure there are no gaps or other places where your children could become stuck. The best way to ensure this is to check that the edges of your bunk bed are smooth, and that there aren't any protrusions that could trap a child or cause them injury.

Another important aspect of safety concerns guard rails. They should be at least 5 inches above the bunk bed's lower level. This will keep a child's face from becoming trapped between the mattress bottom and the guard rail. The guard rails must be the same height on all sides and not less than 3.5 inches apart.

It is also important to ensure that the distance between the mattress's foundation and the wall upon which the ladder is is less than five inches. It should fit snugly and be checked to make sure that there are no neck entrapment risks. To do this, you'll need to test the openings at both ends of the lower bunk with wedge blocks. The block must be able to traverse the opening with out any obstruction. A rigid 9-inch sphere can also be used to check for neck entrapment.

Lastly, you should also ensure that your bunk beds are positioned well clear of ceiling fans, curtains and blinds (which could all pose strangulation risks) as well as heaters and lights. This will eliminate any dangers from tripping or fire, and will help keep your children cool when they sleep.

Design

When you are choosing a bunk bed, take into consideration the overall design. This includes the overall appearance and how well it will fit in your child's bedroom. Bunk beds come in various sizes, such as twin over full, twin over full or full over double. There is also a futon-style bunk bed that has an upper bed with a lower platform or couch which can be adjusted as a sleeping area. Some bunk beds may also have stairs leading to the top instead of a ladder. Stairs are safer for children, but they take up more space than ladders. If you choose to go for stairs, make sure they are positioned with a safe guard rail and a suitable space between the stairs' steps to avoid accidents.

Some bunk beds can be dismantled into single beds if your kids grow out of them or need to have their own spaces in different rooms. This can save you money on a brand new bed and will give your children more space in their bedroom to do activities.

You can add extra storage to your bunk beds by adding a set drawers under the bottom bed or a built-in shelving unit along the sides. This will help keep the rooms of your children clean and organized, while giving them additional storage space for clothes, books, and toys. Nicole Fisher of BNR Interiors built storage into this bunk bed for children, transforming it into a chic workstation with shelves and drawers that can hold everything from school supplies to seasonal clothing.

When planning your bunk bed, think about the color scheme and style you want to create. You can create a bunk bed that has an nautical theme or a combination neutral and bright colors for a spacious appearance.
