Bunk Beds Add Style and Character to Kids' Rooms
Bunk beds add character and style to rooms for kids. They are available in a broad range of designs and configurations, ranging from classic twin over full to futons to L-shaped.
Most bunk beds have ladders. They are easy to climb and require less space than stairs. Some have a fixed ladder, while others mount the ladder on either the right or left side of the long end of the bunk.
Size
There are various sizes of bunk beds to meet the requirements of every family. The standard bunk bed is made up of two twin mattresses that are stacked vertically on top of each other. Other mattress sizes such as queen full, twin, or XL, could also be used. Additionally the height of the top mattress can be adjusted to increase or decrease the space between sleepers and the ceiling.
Some manufacturers suggest that there be at least 6-8 inches of space between the mattress's bottom and the top of the slats. This ensures that top sleepers will have enough room to move freely and avoid hitting their heads against the ceiling when they get in and out of the bed. The bottom of the mattress is also often fitted with a guard rail to stop a fall from occurring while sleeping.

The risk of injury is greatest for children younger than a year old, since they do not have a clear sense of space. They are more likely to use their beds for play and leap off the top bunk. This is one of the reasons why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents not allow children under six years old to sleep on the top bunk.
Following a few basic guidelines can aid parents in ensuring that their children's bunk beds are safe. A ladder should not be placed within the bunk bed but on the outside. The rails should be at least 5 inches above the mattress, and the area to get into and out of the bed shouldn't exceed 15 inches. The beds should also not be placed near windows or behind clutter that could fall on children while they sleep.
Parents should follow the instructions of the manufacturer when building a bunkbed. Screws should not be tightened so much that they crack the wood. Additionally, the bed should not rock or creak.
