Some sets have a built in desk and a wooden panel along the side of the stairs that can be used to hang wall decorations or even art. Bunk beds that include desks are ideal for bedrooms for children, but they can also be used as an additional bedroom or primary bedroom for older kids and teens.

Safety

One of the biggest considerations when buying a bunk bed is safety. Bunk beds can be very risky if they're not constructed or if the kids do not follow the rules. It is essential to determine the area you'd like to place it and check the dimensions of the frame against the dimensions of your mattress. This will ensure that the mattress fits perfectly, and that your child can move into and out of the bed with no difficulties.

Guard rails are a crucial safety feature. They should be on the top and bottom bunks. These guard rails should be constructed of solid wood and fastened securely to the frame. Any gaps, openings, or holes on the frame of the bed should be sized so that children's legs, heads or torsos aren't caught in them. To prevent tripping hazards, it's a good idea to ensure that any ladders and steps used to climb the frame of the bunk bed are part of the frame or are a part of it.

Another important safety tip is to Don't let children younger than six years old sleep on the top bunk. The majority of injuries resulting from bunk beds occur to children younger than six years old, and more that half of these injuries are caused by falls. It is a good idea too, to establish clear rules for the use of the bunk bed, and to emphasize that the top bunk shouldn't be used for jumping, playing or anything else.

Finally, it's recommended to make sure that no clothes, belts or jump ropes hang from the frame of the bunk bed since they can be strangulation hazards for children. You can buy clip on shelves that secure easily to the sides of the bunk and give your child a space to store their night time essentials so they don't need to get up out of the bed to search for them in the dark.

Storage

Bunk beds allow two persons to sleep in the same room without consuming the space. The bed above can be accessed by a ladder. This is perfect for siblings who share the bedroom or for family members living in a small apartment.

Bunk bed frames come in various sizes and shapes that will fit in with any space. They can be made to meet the needs of each individual sleeping. For example, if one child prefers the top bed while the other prefers the bottom bunk and the beds can be arranged to make them face each the other. This allows for each person to have their own personal space, but still be close to family members.

Many owners of bunk beds enjoy the option to add under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These add-ons are stationed underneath the lower bed and can be used to store blankets or clothing. They also provide extra room to sleepovers for guests who visit.

Apart from drawers for under-bed storage, trundles can be added to bunk beds in the form of pull-out mattresses that lie under the bed's bottom and can be easily opened with a simple step. This gives you an additional sleeping space when guests come over and eliminates the need for an air mattress.

Anyone considering buying a bunk bed should consider the safety features. Check for side rails in the lower and upper bunks to stop the child from falling off the top bunk. It's important to also consider the thickness of a mattress that can be comfortably fitted on the upper bunk. A mattress that is too heavy may cause a child to roll off the guard rails and injure themselves.

Other safety options include the kind of ladder you pick for your bunk bed. Certain types of bunk beds have a lengthy ladder that connects the lower and upper guard rails, whereas other types have a shorter ladder that attaches to the front of the upper guard rail. This is perfect for children because it makes the climb to the top bunk easier and more secure.
