How to Choose the Best Bunk Bed
Bunk beds are versatile and stylish. They can be used to decorate the bedroom of a child or to convert a playroom or create the ultimate sleeping area. However, before you buy, consider the following key aspects.
A ladder that is centered, allowing you to put it on to either side of the bunk bed is safer than one with the possibility of jutting out. Choose an angled ladder that takes up less space, but are more user-friendly to use than straight ones.
Mattress
If you want to improve the quality of your bunk beds, you'll need a mattress which is comfortable for all sleepers and fits the frame height. It's important to choose an appropriate mattress for your family and guests. The majority of bunk beds have twin or full-sized mattresses. A memory foam mattress that contours to the body of the person sleeping and provides moderate firm support is an excellent choice. Gel-infused mattresses can also be an excellent choice since they are cool to touch and let the mattress breathe throughout the night.
Many people have trouble sleeping hot, and it's especially important to choose bunk beds that can manage heat retention. Look for cooling technologies such as gel infusions and aerated structure. Also look for exclusive cover designs. Hybrid mattresses and innerspring mattresses with coils will provide more cooling than memory foam mattresses, which can be too hot for some sleepers.
It's also worth looking at the weight of your mattress for bunk beds, particularly when you have children on the top bunk. A lightweight hybrid mattress will be easier to move onto the frame, while a more heavyweight latex or memory foam mattress might require assistance.
The Amerisleep As3 mattress is a great choice for bunk beds since it's a medium-firm bed that can be used by adults as well as children. Amerisleep AS3 mattress features Amerisleep signature pressure relief, which reduces stress on the heavier areas of the human body, such as the shoulders or hips.
The Linenspa memory foam hybrid mattress is an excellent choice for most bunks, as it's available in twin and full sizes, meaning you can match the dimensions of your current frames. It features the continuous coil system that measures 6 inches and a plush memory foam and comfort layers to provide moderately firm support.
You can find bunk beds with the possibility of a sleep trial for up to a year online. This gives your guests or children to test the mattress before buying it and ensure it's a good fit for. The Helix Kids mattress comes with a 1-year trial period and is made of Tencel fabric to cool, which is great for kids who have a hot bed.
Ladder

Stairs
Staircase bunks may look cool however they're generally heavier than regular bunk beds, and could increase your costs for moving when you move later. They also take up more room due to their size. They're also wider than a ladder and typically longer, too. Depending on the size of your child's body they might be more difficult for toddlers to climb than a ladder and could cause them to fall off of the bed (or off the top) in the event of negligence. Because of this, we recommend them only for older children only.
Bunks with stairs are an ideal option for rooms with low ceilings. They are also safer than ladders since they are secured. This prevents kids from falling out of their bed. They do require more space than ladders and aren't suitable for children who are young to climb because of the length of the stairs.
Our picks often feature a set that can be placed on either the left or right side of the mattress, making it easier to fit within the space available. It is crucial to measure the width of your stair treads to ensure that they are correctly installed and secured prior to assembling. Measure from the center of a vertical post that is a corner of the bunk to the top of the other post that is a corner of the upper bunk's railing that protects it and subtract 3 inches from the rails on the sides. This will give you the length between each stair tread which is the ideal width for most bunks.
