Bunk beds provide a great way to maximize the space in a room, and are
particularly for children's bedrooms or large dormitories. Today, there are many different designs of bunk beds, meaning that it is easy to find a model to suit your own needs, and it is relatively simple to make your own too.
If you are looking to buy a bunk bed, the chances are that it is not for you to sleep
on unless you are a college student, for instance. It will probably be for your child. It
is therefore important to weigh up the cost against the safety issue.
Bunk beds are frequently used as a child's first regular bed after he/she outgrows a
crib, either at about age 2 or 35 inches in height. Some bunk beds also are used
separately as twin beds for older children and even adults. It is unlikely that you will
be able to find a strong bunk bed for less
than $150, and it can often be worth
spending another $200.
Top bunks must have at least two guardrails, one for each side. Lower bunks need
no guardrails if the mattress foundation is less the 30 inches from the floor. On the
wall side, or the side without the ladder must be one continuous piece.
Each year, thousands of children under age 15 receive hospital emergency room
treatment for injuries associated with bunk beds. Most of these injuries are fairly
minor and occur when children fall from the beds. Horseplay frequently contributes
to these accidents.
Perhaps one good tip would be to buy a good quality bunk bed, which can be
separated into two twin beds. This means that if you have two children who are
sharing a room, they can easily move into their own rooms when the time comes.
