Kids Double Bunk Bed
Double bunk beds for kids are a great choice for siblings sharing the same room. It is important to remember that the child who sleeps on the top floor is older than six years old, and that you do not allow horseplay or jumping on beds.
Also, ensure that the mattress's foundation isn't filled with massive gaps that could permit children to slip through.
Safety
Bunk beds are safe for children to sleep in if they are properly installed and if parents adhere to certain safety guidelines. First, make sure the bunk bed is in a corner so that it won't sway when children climb the ladder.
It is essential to teach your children not to play on the bunk bed or within it. Remove any toys that could be an accident hazard. Children should also be taught to always utilize the ladder to get into and out of the bunk bed.
Children shouldn't be permitted to sleep on the top bunk unless they're older than six years old. The reason for this is that younger children may not have the maturity or coordination required to safely climb the ladder. It is also crucial to make sure that the guardrails are properly secured to the bunk above and there aren't any gaps that children can slip through and become trapped beneath the bed.
The foundation area of the upper and lower bunks should be made of solid wood and not slats. Slat-based systems could collapse when weighed down by kids and cause serious injuries. Also, it is a good idea to reinforce the bottom bunk with cross ties to stop it from buckling or shifting due to the weight of the children.
It is a good idea if the child will be sleeping on their own in the bottom bunk, to install a safety rail. This will prevent the child from falling over the edge of the bunk should they roll out in the night.
A simple precaution is to make sure that the bunk bed does not sit directly under a ceiling fan. This reduces the chance of injuries or accidents when the ceiling fan is running. The bunk bed should be kept away from windows to reduce the chance that children try to reach the windows from the upper levels.
Style
As children grow and move from a crib to a single-sized bed, they might like to be part of the bigger kid's room. Bunk beds provide a way to do that. They are available in a variety of designs and finishes to match any design. They also help save space, meaning that kids have more space for storage or play. Bunk beds are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate kids of all ages. They also come with stairs or ladders, which can make it easier for children to get up and down from their beds.
A bunk bed is a great option to make a child's room stand out and influence the style of the room. For example, this house-themed twin over twin bunk bed made by Belton Furniture offers a playful alternative to traditional bunk beds.

The guard rails as well as the attached ladder complete the treehouse-inspired look and a desk on the lower level makes a great space for homework and crafts.

If you're thinking about a bunk bed designed for children take note of the people who will be sleeping in the room. Do you need to accommodate kids or are siblings sleeping in the space?
