Bunk Beds Add Style and Character to Kids' Rooms
Bunk beds can add style and character to a child's bedroom. They are available in a variety of styles and configurations - from the classic twin full, to the futon or L-shaped.
The majority of bunk beds have ladders. They are easy to climb and take up less floor space than steps. Some bunks have a fixed staircase, while others have a ladder on the left or right sides of the long bunk.
Size
There are various sizes of bunk beds to suit the needs of families. The standard bunk bed has two twin mattresses that are stacked vertically on top of each other. However, other sizes of mattresses such as full, queen or twin 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 recommend that there is at least 6-8 inches of space between bottom of mattress and the top of the slats. This ensures that the top sleepers will have enough space to move and avoid hitting their heads against the ceiling when they climb in or out of the mattress. The bottom of the mattress is often adorned with a guard rail to prevent a fall happening while asleep.
The triple bunk is an additional alternative that can be found in a variety of designs and configurations. This type of bed is usually comprised of two beds that are stacked horizontally with a twin bed on the bottom. This type of bunk bed is perfect for rooms with siblings or for college dormitories and summer camps which require students to share rooms.

Safety
Bunk beds are a popular choice for rooms for children. However, they can be dangerous in the event that they are not properly checked or constructed. About 36,000 injuries resulting from bunk beds require emergency treatment every year. Fortunately, the majority of these injuries aren't serious. Children who are younger are at highest risk of injury due to the fact that they don't have a fully developed sense of space. They are more likely to make use of their beds to play and jump off the top bunk. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises parents to not let children younger than six years old sleep on the top bunk.
A few simple rules can aid parents in ensuring that their children's bunk beds are safe. For example, a ladder should be placed on the outside of the bunk, and not inside it. The rails should be at least 5 inches over the mattress, and the area to get into and out of the bed shouldn't exceed 15 inches. In addition bed frames are not to be placed in close proximity to windows or behind clutter that could fall on children while they sleep.
Parents should strictly follow the directions of the manufacturer when building a bunk bed. Screws should be tightened properly but not so tightly that they scratch the wood. The bunk bed should also not squeak or move. Finally, it is an excellent idea to have the bunk beds professionally inspected when they are put together and then have them tested by a professional before allowing children to use them.
Bunk beds can free up space in a child's bedroom and add a touch of style.

Children should be taught not to play rough around beds and furniture.
