If you're seeking bunk beds that will last beyond childhood, a mid rise might be the answer. They're great for rooms with limited space, and the space beneath the lower bunk can be used for furniture like an ottoman or a wardrobe.

Choose beds made from sustainable materials and coloured with low VOC paints or stains to reduce your exposure to harmful chemicals like formaldehyde.

Height


The height of the bunk bed can have a an enormous impact on your child's safety and comfort. It is recommended to adhere to the guidelines set by the bunk bed manufacturer. It is recommended that the top bunk mattresses are no more than 5 inches above the guard rails in order to avoid rolling out or falling. Bottom bunk mattresses should also not be more than 6 inches over the guardrails in order to keep the sleeper upright during the night.

The height of a bunk bed can also be dependent on the mattress size you select. Bunk beds are usually offered with full-sized mattresses. However you can buy twin or twinXL mattresses when you need to. The larger sizes are ideal for adults and older children because they allow more room to spread out during the night.

There are bunk beds with trundle mattresses that can be placed underneath the lower bunk. This is a great choice if you need an extra mattress for guests or sleepovers. Bunk beds with trundles are popular for cabins and camps because they provide more space for sleeping and storage in small rooms.

You can also pick a triple loft bed. Two standard bunk beds are linked at 90 degrees. The top bunks are situated on the top of the bed and the angled layout helps save on the floor space.

Another type of bunk bed is an L-shaped bunk bed that allows for three or even four beds in one space. These are great for holiday homes or rooms shared. They can be used by kids of all age groups.

A lot of lofts have built-in drawers and shelves that can be accessed via the staircase, which is usually located in the middle.

This is an excellent option for rooms with a limited space, since the separate daybed could be used as a home or play space for children, or an area to store teddies and other books. The space under the lower part of the loft bed can also be used to create a desk, which is ideal when you're in search of an infant's bunk bed that will offer your child a dedicated study area.

You can leave the middle section of the child's bed empty or choose a model with a pull-out desk. This is ideal for children who stay up late to do their homework.

Storage

It is crucial to think about what you want to put under the frame while shopping for a mezzanine or bunk bed. These beds offer more storage space than a standard double or single bed, and can transform a room into a bespoke loft space.

Some of our top picks include desks with built-in bookshelves that let kids do their homework with style. Some have ladders or stairs that allow kids to climb higher without having to worry about safety.

There are many ways to add more storage space to a mid-rise bed without buying a new piece. One option is to simply put a storage box or wicker basket under the bed to provide extra space to store clothes, blankets or toys. You can also choose one with a pull-out study desk, which gives you a place to work from and can be tucked away when it is not in use.

There are models with an trundle bed that is underneath the mattress. They are ideal for sleepovers or when you have guests over and need an additional bed for them. Some of our top choices include this feature like the Stompa Uno 5 and Ikea's Kura bed.

A separate chest or cabinet can be purchased and placed at the foot of the mezzanine or loft bed to let children organize their belongings. This can also help reduce the amount of clutter that surrounds the bed, which is essential for a restful night's sleep.

The key advantage of a mid-sleeper or loft bed is that it's a double piece of furniture that provides the perfect solution for sleeping and storage in any kid's bedroom. It's important to remember that these types of beds don't offer as many customization options as other beds. If you're looking for a more flexible design our top pick is the Lifetime Hideout Mid Sleeper with Steps. It's made to look like the appearance of a treehouse. It also offers an unusual sleeping area as well as a handy step storage area.

Safety

Bunk beds can be a secure option for sleeping provided they are properly constructed and maintained. They must be positioned away from objects that could pose dangers such as blinds (and their cords) ceiling fans, windows and lights. They should also stay away from furniture such as tables and chairs that could be used to climb or descend the top bunk.

The guardrails should be at least 5 inches above the top bunk and the space between them must be small enough to prevent children from crossing with their head, torso, or arms. If your bunk bed comes with ladders, they must be attached securely and placed at least 5 inches away from the end of the guardrails along each side. Ladders must have safety stops and should be constructed of sturdy, solid materials.

Children should not use the ladder to climb onto or off bunk beds. This will avoid injuries caused by falls or tripping on furniture. It will also help stop the use of the upper bunk as a playground or climbing frame, and it will ensure that only those able to sleep on it are able to sleep there.

Manufacturers should make clear the weight limit for the top bunk and children should be urged to stick to it. A heavy load of occupants could put too much pressure on the bunk, which can cause it to collapse. It is recommended that the mattress on top of the bunk be 6 to 8 inches thick and provide a perfect balance between safety and comfort.

Parents should inspect the bunk bed frequently for signs of wear, such as loose screws. They can be fixed easily, and this will aid in maintaining the security of the bunk. It is important to teach children how to enter and exit the bunk bed so that it doesn't become an area for play or a clothes horse.
