Bunk Beds With Trundles Children love bunk beds since they're both great places to sleep and play. Bunk beds that have trundles offer an extra sleeping space for sleepovers. A twin-over-full bunk bed comes with two mattresses at the bottom, and a single on top. This configuration is ideal for families with siblings of different age groups sharing the same room. Ladders A bunk bed is an ideal way for a child to save space without risking security. However, it is important to remember that children should not sleep on the top bunk until they are at least six years older. The ladder used to climb on and off the upper bunk could cause injury if it is not installed or used properly. When choosing a ladder, you should take into consideration a number of factors to ensure your child can safely climb up and down the bunk. When you are choosing a ladder the first thing to be thinking about is the height. The ideal ladder height is between 58- 60 inches, but it can differ based on the dimensions of the bunk. The ladder should be anchored to the side of the bunk frame, and should not extend more than 5 inches above the top guardrails. This will avoid a child getting caught between the ladder and the guardrail. The number of rungs is a different aspect to take into consideration when choosing a bunk ladder. Ideally the ladder should have at least seven rungs and be evenly spaced. The length of the ladder should be proportional to your child's height as well as age to ensure that they are capable of using it easily. double bunk bed with trundle should also select a ladder that has padded treads. These ladders will have a grippy tread which can minimize the risk of slipping off the bunk. A lot of bunk beds have a built-in ladder, which is an excellent option for those who do not want to purchase separate ladders. Some of these ladders fit perfectly into the bottom of the bunk bed and don't interfere when the lower trundle is closed or opened. Others are slanted and offer the safety of a comfortable, safe climbing surface that is suitable for adults and children. You can also make your ladder for the bunk bed more comfortable by adding antislip tape to it. This simple and affordable solution can improve your child's grip when climbing the ladder. To apply the tape, you will first need to remove the black lining of the ladder. Then cut it to the appropriate size. Press firmly on both sides once you have it in place to make sure it sticks to the surface. Headboards A headboard is a large frame where a child will lay their head when sleeping. It could be made of wood, metal or any other upholstery material. A headboard can be constructed to fit a frame with or without side rails. It can also include features like built-in shelving to help organize the belongings of a child and create an ambiance to sleeping. A trundle can be affixed to the bunk below and provides a sleeping space for guests when family and friends visit for sleep-overs. It can be a convenient space for children to play with their electronic games or read a book during quiet time. Some bunk beds include a trundle while others offer it as an option that can be bought separately. The security of a top bunk is of paramount importance to parents, especially when children are young. Although the maximum capacity of the top bunk is typically described as equivalent to or higher than a standard twin mattress the majority of manufacturers recommend that the top bunk is used only with a mattress not thicker than 4 to 6 inches. If the mattress is thicker, the sleeper could end up being higher than the guard rails which can pose a risk. If your top bunk has an straight ladder it can be secured to the bed with ladder hooks that are positioned over the frame. The hooks can be positioned to either the right or left side of the ladder, except if they are blocked by a headboard. You can also opt for an angled ladder if you need an option that is more durable. These ladders are longer and take up more space but they are easier to secure to your bed. Handrails are another feature you should consider for a bunk bed. This is a sturdy accessory to any ladder or staircase and can help kids climb up and down the top bunk in a safe way. It's available in aluminum and wood to match the finishing of the bunk bed. It can be set on either or both sides of the ladder or staircase and some are built with storage spaces as drawers or cubbies. Footboards A footboard is the piece wood at the foot of the bed, which covers the space between the ladder and the bed frame. This bed element gives the bunk a refined appearance and also provides a safe space to place a lamp or alarm clock. It can be fitted with a cushion to match the rest of the bunk or a sleek metal version is available for a contemporary look that complements most decor styles. A bunk bed may be equipped with a desk, which provides a work or study area for children who have smaller bedrooms. The desk shouldn't be constructed inside the bed frame. Instead it should be constructed at the end of the bed (left image). The idea of constructing a desk within the bunk is not practical as it could cause children to smash their heads or feet on it as they get in and out of the bed. The desk should be set in a way that the child can reach the chair without difficulty and is not too far from the bed. Under-bed drawers are an additional great option for a top bunk double bed. These storage spaces can be used to store sheets, bedding and seasonal clothes. They can also be used for toys. They are also useful for keeping clutter out of sight. The drawers underneath the bed are typically on wheels, which means they can easily be moved up and down the bunk's bottom without damaging the floor. If you decide to put a ladder on your bunk, you can boost its safety by adding a handrail it. This will prevent your kids from falling off the top bunk. The rail can be a wood or metal to coordinate with the bed. Bunk beds can also be outfitted with a slide that can bring outdoor playground fun to the bedroom. This can add a fun, adventurous element to a room that children will enjoy. But, it is vital to remember that the slide must be tested for entrapment hazards as well. There is the list of requirements for testing on the internet. Storage Bunk beds are an excellent solution for saving space when two children share one room. A double bed on top and a twin-sized mattress on the bottom can accommodate up to two children, and free the floor space for other furniture pieces in the bedroom like desks, nightstands, and dressers. Bunk beds with built-in storage can provide even more ways to organize a smaller bedroom. Drawers under a bunk bed can be used to store bedding and linens. Under-bed drawers can also be excellent places to store personal items like books and toys as well as other things. Some drawers beneath the bed are equipped with wheels to help you move them under the bunk and out without scratching the flooring. Consider a bunk bed that has shelves and a desk built in. This will help you save space on the floor and provide you a space to work from. This classic wood bunk bed comes with stairs that double as drawers as well as an inside bookcase. It's available with six stunning neutral finishes that will fit into any style. This bunk bed can be made into separate twin beds by lifting the ladder. A trundle bed under bunk beds is a popular design. It can provide additional sleeping space for children when guests visit. Trundle beds are generally placed close to the floor (roll-outs) or elevated to the level of their counterparts on the upper level. Trundle beds come in two varieties: pop-up and roll-out. Both are great for sleepovers or trips. A detachable double bed is another popular choice. It's easy to move, and can be reused as the kids grow older. These modular bunks have a classic stacked design but are positioned more together than traditional double bunk beds. The bottom bunk includes a full-size futon that can be used as a couch or bed in the daytime. If you're looking for a more compact style, a double futon bed is a great choice. It's stylish and functional but has less clutter. These bunks can be arranged in an “L” shape that is ideal for small rooms. The lower futon is oriented towards the top bunk, creating a cozy area where children can relax and play with their tablets or phones during the day.
