The look of the bunk bed does not guarantee the quality, safety or craftsmanship of the bed. Being a kid bedding, it is vital to gain knowledge about the bunk beds that are safe and secure for kids to sleep.

The first and foremost thing that you got to decide on shopping bunk beds is the type of bed. You got to decide whether your children would need a bunk, loft, triple, twin, wood or metal bed. Once you decide on the type of bunk bed, you got to assess the safety of the bunk bed. The following safety checklist will help you buy the most secure bunk bed.

1) Look for a reliable dealer. Make sure that the dealer sells only top quality beds. Check whether the dealer is able to clarify all your queries with regard to the safety of the bunk bed.

2) Before you shop for bunk beds, check the amount of weight that the bunk bed can hold. However, if you choose to buy an dissembled bunk bed, then you have to test the weight bearing capacity soon after assembling it.

3) It is essential to find whether the bottom part of the bed frame is capable of holding the box spring mattress. Because the box spring mattress has to be kept under the child's regular mattress for the added comfort and relaxation. Make sure that the bunk beds have a wooden support in order to carry the mattress.

4) Ensure that the bunk beds consists ample space on the bottom so that kids can sleep with comfort. This way the kids need not reach the top bunk to play as it is pretty riskier to play on the top.

5) Look to see if the bunkbeds have a safety sticker outlining the safety guidelines for the bed.

6) Assess whether the bunk bed is sturdy and made of high quality fabric. By simply shaking the bed, you can check its sturdiness and durability. Find out the material in which the bunk bed is made. Choose to buy the bunk bed only if it made out of solid wood. Those beds made out of particle board may not be as good as that made out of solid wood.

7) Ensure that the edges of the bunk bed are not sharp. Choose to buy those bunk beds with smooth and rounded corners. Because sharp edges can cause bruises in kids.

8) The ladder that comes with bunk bed should be safely attached to the bed and large enough for the kid to climb. Make sure the ladder is detachable. The rungs on the ladder should be equally spaced, which means the kids should be able to climb the ladder easily with small steps.

9) Buy only those bunk beds that have safety railings on all sides. Also, make sure that the railings are tight and cannot be removed by the kids. Check whether the bed has any fastening device or pressure lifting device that will help you to detach the railings whenever needed.

Following these steps when shopping for children's bunk beds will help ensure your children?s safety when playing or sleeping in their new bunk bed . And it will also give you a "peace of mind?" when making the purchase.
