childrens metal bunk beds are a staple of camp and shared childhood bedrooms alike. With so many options, it can be difficult to choose the right one for your child and home. To help, I consulted experts—specifically, Laura Fenton, who literally wrote the book on bunks. Her recommendations are multi-taskers that are space-saving and provide fun and adventure for children as they grow. Frame Kids will love the adorable treehouse-like design of the Mathy by Bols bunk bed (above), which also includes sturdy safety rails that prevent kids from climbing onto areas that are not on the ladder that is designated for them. And if you have two young kids this bed can be converted into separate beds, which means it can be used after the kids have outgrown the upper level. For older children, think about a bunk bed with low beds and easy-to-use steps. Utilizing stairs instead of a ladder can help you save valuable floor space. Many of the beds listed below have added clothes storage as well – such as the Parisot Tam Tam kids bunk bed (below). This is particularly beneficial in small spaces where maximising bedroom space is essential. Mattresses Mattresses are an important part of any bunk bed, and they can have a significant impact on how comfortably kids sleep. Most bunk beds can be used with twin, twin XL and full mattress sizes, but it's worth double-checking the specs to make sure that the mattress you select fits the frame you pick. In general, children will outgrow mattresses when they reach the preteen or teenage years. If you're seeking a bunk bed that can accommodate these ages think about a innerspring or hybrid mattresses to provide more longevity. They provide more traditional bounce than foam, while also supporting heavier weights. The best children's bunk bed mattress should be able to fit snugly into the frame, with little or no space between the top and bottom bunks. If you're worried about the fit, take a measurement of each mattress' width before purchasing. A mattress that's too small will allow the sides to move, while the mattress that's too large will not support the weight of your child. Children require a mattress that is firm and supportive to allow them to sleep comfortably. You might want to consider a mattress that is stain and spill resistance, especially when you have children. A mattress that's made of natural materials or with cooling technology is an ideal choice. Many of the mattresses on our list have excellent customer ratings and reviews. If you are concerned about durability, choose a mattress that comes with an extended warranty. A mattress with a life-time warranty is likely to last longer than one that is standard. Choose a mattress with two sides like the Helix Kids if you want to get a good deal on a bunkbed mattress. This mattress is designed with two sides: a medium-firm side for younger kids (3-7) and a soft side for older kids (8-12). You can flip the Helix if your child's preferences change as they grow older. This mattress is a bit more expensive than our other options, however it's still lower than most adult mattresses. Safety Bunk beds are the ultimate space-savers for kids' bedrooms. They can also be enjoyable, adventurous additions that encourage children to rest well at night. They also can pose security concerns, particularly when the proper precautions are not taken to ensure they are safe and sturdy. It is important to buy a bunk bed that has been tested and has met strict safety standards. Also, make sure that the ladder is sturdy with wide, non-slip steps to avoid accidents. Consider installing safety railings on the top bunk. Also, be aware that certain bunk beds may have weight limits on the top of the bed that could put a child at risk if they go over this limit. The size of the bunk bed is also important to take into consideration. It's important to look for one that will fit in your room without blocking windows or doors and also to make sure that it will fit the mattress sizes you select. In the end, you should be able to easily move the bunk bed and change the mattresses without much hassle. When choosing a metal bunkbed for your child, it is crucial to take into consideration the frame's strength and the number of guardrails. Ideally, you should look for a bed that is made of strong materials, like solid wood or metal, and that has been tested by a trusted manufacturer. It is also recommended that you check the product for recalls or warnings so that you know that your bunk bed is safe to use. The Metallika bunk beds for children are a great choice because they have a sturdy frame design with the square shape, which increases stability. The slat structure of the Metallika bunk bed is silent due to the plastic buckle system which secures each slat firmly to the bed. This ensures a peaceful sleep. Powder coating paint makes it tough and extends its life. Furthermore, it's simple to assemble and includes all the necessary tools and hardware to ensure a hassle-free experience.
