Posted by Modern Homes in Beds

Bunk beds for kids are a great solution if you have limited space in a room. Bunk beds can help you systematize your kids bedrooms, allowing you to make the most of the available space, by sleeping two young children in the space of a single bed. There are also such a wide variety of different kids bunk beds designs to choose from, and the kids will love some of the novel designs that are available to purchase. Some bunk beds can also provide additional storage options with in-built storage draws and some that feature a trundle bed built-in, allowing you the option of sleeping and additional child or guest.

Perhaps the most important thing to consider when you are shopping for bunk beds for kids is the issue of safety. One of the unfortunate drawbacks of a bunk bed is that one of the beds is raised high off the ground resulting in an increased risk of accident. As a general rule a child no younger than six years old should be assigned to the top bunk. You should ensure that there are top guard rails that are secure and able to support the weight of your child in the event that they roll over during the night.

Also ensure that there are no dangerous hanging points for hats and coats and things as these can cause nasty abrasions in the event of an accidental fall. Bunk beds are available in a wide variety of different designs, however the bed frame is usually designed to accommodate a standard size mattress such as a memory foam or latex mattress. Bunk beds are generally targeted at young children as adult bunk beds are not commonly used in the home.

An alternative to a bunk bed is a trundle bed that offers you several advantages. One of the features of a trundle bed is that due to its low height, there is less chance of an accident. Trundle beds are beds where a small bed (usually on caster wheels) is stored under a larger bed and dragged out at night. Like bunk beds, trundle beds sleep two in the space of one, although they require the space of two beds at night. Trundle beds can be purchased in adult size, which allows your child to continue to use the same bed into their teenage years and then when they finally leave the next you are left with a convenient spare bed for guests.
