Bunk Beds For Kids
Bunk beds for kids are just the most common sense and practical application for bedding for your child or children.
Full Use Of Limited Space
You can utilize only as much space as a single bed but use that space to sleep over two children. The fact is that you only need very little space to house your precious cargo, and have enough room to accommodate sleep overs and slumber parties.
Even though most of us (unless you were raised in a cave) know what a bunk bed is, for you cave dwellers it is a type of bed or “beds” that is most common in kids rooms or teens’ bedrooms and in bedrooms meant for two people like a collage dorm or God forbid correctional facility. But do not let that last application deter you from having a bunk bed in your kids room, there are no connections between the two.
Bunk beds for kids are also called double deck beds, and “double Decker” but the basic jest of the bed/s is to have one on top of the other in order to make full use of a very small space. These beds or bed spaces are referred to as bunks.
The top bunk or top bed is usually supported by four pillars or poles made of wood, metal or fiber glass. In some of the later bunk bed models the four corner posts can be removed in order that the top bunk and the lower bunk can be detached and used as separate beds. As you kids get older and or you have more room to accommodate two separate bed rooms, then this little feature will com in handy. It seems that as kids get older they get more territorial.
Where Did This Idea Come From?
I think the the concept of bunk beds originated in Egypt, where royalties are believed to use loft beds for sleep. Loft beds are special beds, which are raised high above the ground. Loft beds are still in use today, though they have somewhat evolved in look and some functions. Since there is only the top bunk, the space below the actual bed is usually left open for various purposes such as accommodating a work desk, a cabinet, drawers, or another bed.
Space saving beds are just a great idea for kids or over night visitors, beds such as day beds, day beds with trundle trundle beds for kids, bunk beds with trundle, and loft with trundle are great options to consider also.
Bunk Beds For Kids have different styles, shapes and application depending on the room space you have, you can choose from a variety of bunk bed for your kids.
Age Limitation For Bunk Beds
I would not recommend you place a child under 6 years of age on the top bunk as this could be dangerous. So choosing the right bunk bed will also depend on the age or ages of your kids. Bunk beds all have protective side rails that can be raised up to prevent rolling off of the bed.
This type of bunk bed will require more space, but they are so cute. Notice they also have storage space, or draws on the right hand side while desk and chair on the left.
I like the fact that the ladder is off to the side and not over the lower bunk. This mean happier kids!
Modern Bunk Beds
The latest bunk bed models are now made where each bed is set at a 90 degree angle to each other other rather than right under each other or parallel to each other. This will depend on the space you have available.
The above bunk bed will prevent your kids from encroaching on each others space or bed a lot more than the traditional parallel bunk beds, as the ladder is off to the side.
What ever you choose do not forget to include your child in the purchasing process as they need to have a stake in the choice you will make. This make them feel ownership and embrace the idea if it is a bit of a force feed in the beginning.
