Bunk Bed Safety - Keep Your Kids Safe and the Families Joyful

By Bernd Eggers


The bunk bed had evolved through the years as furniture that saves space. Whilst it isn't as comfy as the conventional bed, a bunk bed is not only habitable but certainly a provider of personal bonding, as well as relaxation and pastime for the kids. But because of the bed's weight and height, its safety is such a great deal of concern among parents. Out of the many bunk bed sections, the ladder is surely one issue for an apprehensive guardian.

The first basic safety tip about this structure is that, its width should be ample enough and tightly secured at an angle, that would allow convenience in climbing up or going down. If the type is something not fixed, be doubly sure it is easily detachable and attachable, and whether using hooks or screws, endeavour not to utilize substandard spare parts for this will have bearing on the stability of the structure. Ensure also that the stair is not slippery, staggering or creaking, for this will allow effortless climb for the children. What matters really is that they're safe in a generous ladder, sending all your worries away.

As have been mentioned, a bunk bed may present some risks to the children as they have the inclination to become venturesome and oftentimes, reckless. As a general rule, it's incumbent upon the parents to always remind and reprimand the kids if they're heedless of the possible injuries to them. Like the stair. It is the most frequently used in a bunk bed as this is the way to climb up and climb down.

Many accidents oftentimes happen in this part of the bed. The tip is to insure its stability and freedom from slippage. If the stair is one that is detachable, it is usually attached to the last deck by using hooks. The idea behind is to detach it when not utilized. However, hooks can be tricky and not as sturdy as the screws. The cue here is to make sure the hooks and in fact even the screws used, are not substitutes in nature and should be produced by a reliable manufacturer.

The one largely essential part of the bunk bed is the mattress. For a more comfortable sleep and a high degree of safety, the simplest tip is to see to it that the mattress fits perfectly into the bed's frame. If not, the arms and even the legs of the occupier are somewhat trapped in the framing of the bed. Needless to say, there is no ease and comfort at all on the occupant. There are required distances where the size of the mattress should conform with.

The worst scenario is the possibility of falling down, which could eventually lead to sustaining bodily injuries or other major concussions. In the same manner as with the customary bed, the mattress of a bunk bed poses a very significant purpose, which should really present benefits to the user, in terms of matchless satisfaction from a night of deep slumber.

Aside from the ladder, the other common place of untoward occurrences is in the topmost floor of the bed. The degree of risk, of this section crumbling down is quite high if, and it's a big if, the bed framing that functions as pillar of the uppermost level, is not that strong or potent. Such a delicate setting, may pose a great peril to your kid who might be occupying the said section of the bunk bed.

Suffice it to say, you'd never wish this fixture to fall off with your kid on it. You can actually reduce the hazard of the bed collapsing in the unholy hour of the night, by making sure all the safety features of the product are intact, and satisfying every safety inspection standards. If the bed is faltering, you can insert padding?s at the base of the poles and if there's ceiling fan, insure a safe distance from the bed.

In times of rearranging your furniture?s, including the bunk bed, extreme care should always be taken into consideration. Avoid attempting to drag the bed as a whole structure, as this will not only bring damage to your flooring, but also could lead to the consequence of the bed tumbling down on you.

In conjunction with this, other important matters which should be taken into account are parallel safety measures, like, avoiding the use of ceiling fan where the bunk bed is found and if can't be avoided, and the ceiling fan should be at a fairly safe interval from the decker. If through constant usage the poles become shaky, the best way to remedy is to place a sort of padding material to the lowest bottom part.

The previously stated tips and instructions if heeded will make the most out of your bunk bed. The children will have a sound and hazard-free sleep on the bunk, for quite a while. One great concern though, that you should need to closely look is the upper bunk, whether the second or third deck. There are in fact some cases of this bed section falling down, causing serious injuries. This usually occurs when the structure holding the second bunk is not considerably sturdy.

This is most dangerous to them, so parents should not tire in emphasizing the importance of being careful. To guarantee safety of the ladder, it should be rock solid and above all, made of slip-free materials. In cases of removable ladder, be perfectly sure that the hooks are genuine, and during the disassembly and reassembly, insure that the hooks are very, very tight for the safety of all users.

In the name of space saving, most homeowners of growing families are widely patronizing the infamous bunk beds or in other places are called double decker. If the bedroom is indeed crowded, a bunk bed is the ultimate solution. Often enough, it is the children who are delegated to the bunk bed. In actuality, this furniture fixture means a lot of fun for them, because it is where they bond together and share their thoughts with each other. If the bed isn't safe enough for them, the supposed to be fun atmosphere for them is defeated.

Always use original parts and never attempt to try using second-stringers, as this may weaken its integrity. Be sure not to leave out any sections, even a little hook or a screw. Finally, refrain from overloading the bunk bed, particularly the upper deck, as you may wind up with a damaged bunk during your sleep, leading to injuries on the individual occupying it.
