Wood Bunk BedWhen it comes to buying loft beds or bunk beds, you are faced with two choices of material – wood or metal. Both materials are as sturdy and safe, but most people still opt for wooden bunk beds rather than metal ones.

I, for one, love wooden furniture very much. Oak bedsteads, teak armories, pine bookcases, cherry coffee tables, mahogany office tables, walnut dining sets, to name a few.

The natural aroma of wood, the durability of wood furniture that can bring life long usage and its beauty and elegance with age are the reasons why I love wood furniture shopping, especially at second hand stores.

Buying old pieces of old wooden bunk beds, bed frames or four-poster beds from friends or family members is money saving and worthy. With a little repair, painting, stripping, or staining, they will have a completely different look and taste.

The best part is that the wooden furniture pieces work great with a contemporary or a classical rustic theme home. No matter what your theme is, there is always a place for wood.

Metal bunk beds are usually made of tubular metal and thought to be a classic kid’s type of bedding. Unlike wood bunk beds, emendations are much difficult to make to metal bunk beds if any safety requirements are not up to par.

When comparing both wooden and metal loft beds, the newer, stylish beds are usually made of metal. Also, metal beds allow a greater amount of decoration than wooden beds, so these are quite popular with the feminine crowd.

Generally, the choice between buying a wood bunk bed or metal loft bed is completely personal and depends on the space and the style.

Whatever type of bunk bed or loft bed you choose to buy, safety is your main priority. Make sure that the bed is safe with proper guard rails and safety precautions.

Bunk BedWhen it comes to bunk beds, it’s important to let your kids understand the role of a bed. It is used for sleeping, not meant to be used as a fort or anything else they can come up with.

Never allow more than one person on the top bunk and never allow children to play on, or under, bunk beds unless the area under the bed is designed specifically as a play area or study center.

According to experts, No Child Under Age Six should use the top bunk. Kids under age six usually suffer head injuries after a fall from a bunk bed.

For your child’s safety and security, it is strongly recommended that anything that comes with the top bunk bed and needs to be installed should be installed.

If you are concerned about your kid falling off the top bunk, then you must make sure that the safety rails are high enough and the top of the mattress should be at least 130 mm below the top of the guardrails and end panels.

When it comes to child mattress, make sure the new mattress is of the correct size and thickness for the bunk bed. Too thin or too soft of a mattress could get your child trapped between the underside of the guard rail and the mattress.
