Bunk Beds With Trundles Children love bunk beds because they're a great place to sleep and for playing. Bunk beds that have trundles offer an extra sleeping space for sleepovers. A twin-over-full-full bunk bed features a double mattress at the bottom, and a single bed on the top. This design is ideal for families with siblings of various age groups who share the same room. Ladders A bunk bed is an excellent option for children to reduce space without jeopardizing security. However, it is important to remember that children shouldn't sleep on the top bunk unless they are at least six years old. This is because the ladder used for getting on and off the upper bed could cause injuries if not installed properly or used. To ensure that your child is able safely climb on and off the bunk, there are many things to look for when choosing a ladder. When selecting a ladder, the first thing you need to consider is its height. The ideal ladder height is between 58 and 60 inches, though this can vary depending on the size of the bunk. The ladder should be fixed to the bunk's side frame, and should not extend higher than 5 inches above the top guardrails. This will stop a child from becoming trapped between the guardrails and the ladder. The number of rungs is an additional aspect to consider when selecting a bunk ladder. The ladder should have at minimum seven rungs, and they should be equally spaced. The width of the ladder should be proportional to your child's age and height so that they are able to use it. It is also recommended to choose the ladder that has cushioned treads. These ladders will have a grippy tread that will reduce the chance of falling off the bunk. A lot of bunk beds have a built-in ladder. This is a great choice for those who don't need to buy separate ladders. Some of these ladders are designed to fit in a flush position with the bottom of the bunk, and do not interfere with the opening or closing of the lower trundle. Others are slanted, and provide an easy, safe climbing surface that is suitable for adults and children. You can make your ladder for bunk beds even more comfortable by putting on antislip tape. This simple and inexpensive solution can help improve the grip of your child when they climb the ladder. To apply the tape, you'll need to take off the black liner from the ladder, and then cut it to the appropriate size. Once it is set, you'll be required to press it firmly on all sides to ensure it adheres correctly. Headboards A headboard is a big frame where a child will rest their head when they sleep. It is constructed of metal, wood or other upholstered material. A headboard can be made to fit a frame with or without side rails. It can also have an added feature, like shelves built in, to aid a child in organizing his or her belongings, and create a cozy atmosphere for sleep time. A trundle can be attached to the bottom bunk and provides a sleeping space for guests when family and friends visit for sleep-overs. It is a great space for children to play their electronic games or read an e-book during quiet time. Some bunks are equipped with a trundle, and others have it as an option that can be purchased separately. Parents are concerned about the safety of top bunks, especially for younger children. Although the maximum capacity of top bunks is usually stated as being equal to or greater than the standard twin mattress, the majority of manufacturers recommend that the top bunk be used only with a mattress that is not more than 4 to 6 inches. If the mattress is too thick it could result in the sleeper ending up being higher than the guardrails. This could be dangerous. If your top bunk is equipped with a straight ladder it can be secured to the bed with a set of ladder hooks that can be hung over the frame. double over double bunk bed can be secured on either the right or left side of the ladder except if they are blocked by a headboard. If you'd like a more permanent solution, you can also opt for an angled ladder. These ladders are longer and take up more space, but they are easier for you to secure to your bed. Handrails are another feature you can consider to add to a bunk bed. This is a sturdy accessory to any ladder or staircase and can help kids climb up or step down the top bunk in a safe way. It is available in both aluminum and wood to match the finishing of the bunk bed. It can be placed on either side of the ladder or staircase and some are built with storage spaces as drawers or cubbies. Footboards A footboard is a piece wood that sits at the end of a bed, covering the space between the ladder and the frame of the bed. This bed element gives the bunk a refined appearance and also provides a safe space to place an alarm clock or lamp. It can be covered in a fabric that matches the other bunks, or a sleek metal version is available to give a contemporary style that is compatible with a variety of decor styles. A bunk bed could be outfitted with a desk, which provides an area for study or work for children who have smaller bedrooms. The desk should be built outside the bed frame (left image below) on either side instead of inside the bed (right image below). A desk built inside the bunk is not practical because it can cause children to strike their feet or head on it while they climb in and out of the bed. The desk should be placed so that the child can reach the chair without difficulty, and not too far from the bed. Another great option for a double bed top bunk is to include under-bed drawers. These storage spaces are ideal to store bedding sheets, sheets, seasonal clothes, toys, and other items. They also provide an ideal way to keep clutter out of view. Under-bed drawers are usually on wheels, which makes it easy to move them into and out of the bunk's bottom without scratching the floor. You can make your bunk more secure by putting in a rail to the ladder. This will stop your children from slipping and falling off the top bunk. The rail can be made out of metal or wood to be able to match the bed. Bunk beds can also be accessorized with a slide that brings outdoor playtime to the bedroom. This can add a fun, adventurous element to a space that children will enjoy. However, 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 the top and a twin mattress at the bottom will be able to sleep two children while freeing floor space for other bedroom furniture pieces like tables, dressers and nightstands. Bunk beds with built-in storage provide additional ways to organize a smaller bedroom. Drawers underneath the bunk bed can be used to store extra bedding and other linens. Under-bed storage drawers can be used to store toys, books and other personal items. Some drawers under the bed come with wheels that allow you to move them out and in from under the bunk without scratching the floor. Consider a bunk bed that comes with a desk and shelving built-in. This will help you save space on the floor and offer you a space to work. This classic wood bunkbed features stairs that can also be used as bookcases and drawers. It's available in six gorgeous neutral finishes to suit any style. This bunk bed can be transformable into two separate twin beds by removing the ladder. A trundle that is placed under a bunk bed is another popular option that provides an additional place to sleep for kids when guests visit. Trundle beds usually sit close to the ground (roll-out trundles) or they're elevated to the same height as their higher counterparts (pop up trundles). Trundle beds come in two forms that are pop-up and roll-out. They're both great for sleepovers or vacations. A detachable double bed is another popular choice. It's easy to move, and can be repurposed as the kids get older. These bunks that are modular are stacked in a classic style however they're placed closer to each other than traditional double bunk beds. The bottom bunk is equipped with a full-size futon that can be used as a sofa or a bed during the day. If you're looking for a more compact configuration consider a double-over futon bunk bed that's just as stylish and functional, but with less clutter. These bunks are typically set in an L-shape, which can be a great option for rooms with limited space. The lower futon is oriented at an angle to the top bunk, creating a cozy corner where kids can relax and play on their devices or phones during the day.
