Kids Bunk Beds - Are They Really Useful?

Kids bunk beds have become a common sight in modern day homes. With space being always an issue in today's households, if there is more than one kid in the house, then it becomes all the more difficult to accommodate them in separate rooms. Kids bunk beds act as great space savers and are also quite popular with kids of all ages. The very idea of being able to sleep together with one bed above the other, which has to be accessed by a ladder seems exciting to kids. Sleeping on a bunk bed seems like a fun activity.

Kids beds are available in variety of styles, designs, features, shapes as well as sizes. With so many choices it often becomes difficult for parents to choose the right one for their kids. The standard bunk bed usually comes in twin over twin size, while there are also full over full, loft bunk beds having empty space below with the bed being hoisted up and twin over futon which acts as a couch cum bed.

Though kids bunk beds are great in utility, the safety factor also has to be kept in mind while choosing one for your kids. To avoid a fall, the beds should have proper rail guards. Ideally there should be a railing on each side of the bed and the safety latch of the rail should also be strong enough so that it doesn't come off accidentally. The mattress should also be of moderate thickness so that the effectiveness of the guardrails is not lost. Kids beds may be made of wood or steel. Though steel beds are cheaper, the wooden ones are stronger, far more durable and last longer.

With most homes today having a shortage of space, kids bunk beds having two beds in the space of one are pretty useful. Bunk beds having drawers can also double up as storage units. Similarly, the free space under a loft bed can also be used to put a study table, drawers or a dresser, saving further space in the room. Bunk beds are great attractions for kids and also helps them bond better with each other. With the demand being huge, beds today come in a variety of designs and also special themes. Based on themes from popular movies or storybooks, bunk beds are great fun for kids. For younger children the beds also come designed with tents and slides which turn them into play areas.

Though kids beds may be a bit highly priced than the regular beds, they are definitely worth buying if you are low on space. Using the minimum space, they provide comfortable sleeping options to your kids and also helps them bond better.
