Bunk Beds With Trundles Children love bunk beds because they're both great places to sleep and play. Bunk beds with trundles can be an extra sleeping space for sleepovers. A full-sized twin over a twin bed features two mattresses on the bottom and a single mattress on top. This configuration is ideal for families with siblings of different age groups sharing rooms. Ladders A bunk bed is a great option for children to make space, without risking safety. It is crucial to remember that children should not be sleeping on the top bunk until they reach six years old. This is because the ladder used to get on and off the upper bed could result in injuries if not properly installed or used. When choosing a ladder you should consider several factors to ensure that your child can safely climb up and down the bunk. The first thing to think about when choosing the height of a ladder. The ideal ladder height ranges between 58- 60 inches, but this can vary depending upon the dimensions of the bunk. The ladder should be anchored to the side of bunk frame, and not extend more than 5 inches above the top guardrails. This will avoid a child being trapped between the ladder and the guardrail. The number of rungs is an additional factor to consider when choosing a bunk ladder. Ideally the ladder should have at least seven rungs and be evenly spaced apart. The width of the ladder should be in line with your child's height and age so that they are comfortable using it. It is also a good idea to choose a ladder with padded treads. These ladders will have a grippy tread which will reduce the chance of slipping off the bunk. A lot of bunk beds have a built-in ladder, which is a great choice for those who don't need to buy separate ladders. Some of these ladders are designed to be into the bottom of the bunk and don't interfere with the opening or closing of the lower trundle. Some are slanted and provide a safe, comfortable climbing surface that is suitable for both adults and children. You can make your bunk bed ladder even more comfortable by adding antislip tape. This easy and cheap solution can increase your child's grip while climbing the ladder. To apply the tape, you will have to remove the liner in black from the ladder and then cut it to the right size. Apply the tape firmly to both sides once you have it placed to ensure that it is adhered properly. Headboards A headboard is an over-sized frame on which the child's head rests when they sleep. It can be constructed from wood, metal or any other material that is upholstered. A headboard can be constructed to fit on a bed frame with or without rails on the sides. It can have a feature like a built-in shelving unit to help organize the belongings of a child and create a cozy environment to sleeping. When family and friends come to stay, a trundle could be easily attached. It's a great place for kids to play with their electronic games or read a book during quiet time. Some bunk beds come with a trundle while others offer it as an option that can be purchased separately. Parents are concerned about the safety of top bunks, particularly for children younger than. Although the maximum capacity of top bunks is usually stated as being at or above a standard twin mattress the majority of manufacturers recommend that the top bunk is used only with a mattress that is no thicker than 4 to 6 inches. If the mattress is too thick, the sleeper could end up being higher than the guardrails. This can be a risk. If your top bunk has a straight ladder that can be anchored to the bed using ladder hooks that mount over the frame. These hooks can be attached to either the right or left side of the ladder, unless a headboard is blocking them. If you'd prefer an option that is more durable, you can also opt for an angled ladder. They are a bit slack and take up more space, but they are easier to secure to the bed. Another option to consider for a bunk bed is a handrail. It is a solid element to any ladder or staircase and can help kids climb up or step down the top bunk safely. It comes in aluminum or wood to match the finish of the bunk bed. It can be placed on either side of the ladder or staircase. Some are even equipped with storage space in the form of cubbies and drawers. Footboards A footboard is a piece wood that is placed at one end of a bed, covering the area where the ladder meets the frame of the bed. The bed element provides an elegant appearance to the bunk and is an ideal spot to place an alarm clock or a lamp. It can be covered in a fabric that matches the other bunks, or a sleek metal version is available to give a contemporary look that complements most decor styles. A bunk bed can be outfitted with a desk to provide a work or study area for kids in a smaller bedroom. The desk should be built out of the bed frame (left image below) at either end instead of within the bed (right image below). The idea of constructing a desk within the bunk is not practical as it could cause children to strike their feet or heads on it as they climb in and out of the bed. The desk should also be placed in a way that the child can be able to reach it easily, so it isn't too far away from the mattress. Another great option for a double bed top bunk is to incorporate under-bed drawers. These storage spaces are convenient for storing extra bedding sheets, sheets, seasonal clothing, toys, and other items. They are also useful to keep clutter out of sight. The drawers underneath the bed are typically on wheels, which means they can be easily moved into and out of the bunk's bottom without damaging floor. You can make your bunk more secure by putting in an extra rail to the ladder. This will stop your children from falling and falling off the top bunk. The rail could be metal or wood to be matched with the bed. Bunk beds can also be adorned with a slide that can bring outdoor play to the bedroom. This can add a fun and adventurous aspect to a space that children will enjoy. It is important to note that the slide should be tested for entrapment dangers as well. You can find a list of test requirements on the internet. Storage Bunk beds are a great solution for saving space when two children share one room. A double bed on top and a twin mattress on the bottom can be able to accommodate two kids while freeing up the floor space for other furniture items like tables, dressers and nightstands. Bunk beds that have built-in storage are a great option to organize the space. Drawers under the bunk bed can be useful for storing extra bedding and other linens. Under-bed drawers are also a great place to store personal items such as books or toys, as well as other items. Some under-bed drawers have wheels that facilitate moving them out and in from underneath the bunk without scratching the floor. You might want to consider a bunk bed with shelves and a desk built-in. This will save you space on the floor and provide you a space to work. This classic wood bunk bed features stairs that double as drawers as well as an internal bookcase. It comes in six neutral finishes that fit in with any decor. This bunk bed can be converted to separate twin beds by lifting the ladder. A trundle underneath bunk beds is a popular feature that can provide an additional place to sleep for children when their friends come to stay. Trundle beds are usually placed close to the ground (roll-out trundles) or are elevated to the same level as their higher counterparts (pop up trundles). Trundle beds are available in two varieties that are pop-up and roll-out. They're both great for sleepovers or trips. Another popular option is a detachable double bunk bed that's simple to move around and reuse as children grow older. farmhouse bunk beds are built in a traditional way, but are positioned closer to traditional double bunks. The bottom bunk is equipped with a full-size futon that can be used as a couch or a bed during the day. If you're looking for a more compact style, a double futon bunk bed is a great choice. It's stylish and functional but it's also less cluttered. These bunks are often arranged in an L-shape, which can work well for rooms with a limited space. The lower futon is placed toward the top bunk, creating a comfortable area for kids to relax and use their smartphones or tablets.
