Putting bunk beds in a child’s room can be fun, as well as entertaining if they provide special precautions for kids. Whether it is in Miami Beach real estate or anywhere else in the world, children might fall from their beds. That is why it is important to put up the side guardrails on the upper bunk’s two sides. These must be secured firmly whenever the child is sleeping. Another rule that you should follow is not to permit kids below six years of age to sleep or stay in the bunk’s upper part. It is also important to have a safety ladder. You could teach your children on safely using the ladder. Discourage playing on the ladder to avoid accidents. Lastly, if your kid sleeps in a bunk bed, it is advisable to have a nearby light on, just in case he or she wakes up at night and must get out of the bed.
If you are wondering if a bunk bed in a home for sale in Miami Beach is right for your child, there are 10 important factors to think about:
- Assess if your kid is really ready to have a bed. Transferring to the bed from the crib may be difficult for some children, especially preschoolers or toddlers. Make it slow and assess if the kid is having apprehensions moving.
- Plan ahead. Children will end up sleeping in whatever bed you give them for the next few years.
- Shop around for choices. There are bunk beds ranging from toddler sizes to full-size ones. There are also beds shaped like castles or cars. Some even have the contemporary or antique look.
- Purchase a top-quality mattress. Measure and then purchase it. The mattress should fit perfectly in the bunk. The measurement should be at most one inch of space from the mattress to the bunk bed’s frame. Check out the slats on the lower bunk which holds the mattress to ensure that they give strong support and are properly and securely screwed into the bed frame side.
- Consider buying guard rails. The kid who slept in a crib may feel assured of the crib’s security. It may take some time for children to get used to the bunk bed. There are guard rails that are attachable to the bunk bed using a screw or can be slid under the bed’s mattress. Check the sturdiness of these guard rails before you allow your kid to sleep in the bed.
- Inspect all the bed’s edges and corners. Make sure that the corners and edges are smooth.
- Check the bed’s stability by shaking it vigorously.
- See if one can climb the ladder easily. The ladder should be also wide enough for your son or daughter.
- At the bottom bunk, sit. Your head must not hit or reach the top.
- From time to time, inspect the screws and bolts to ensure that they are still firmly in place.
As soon as all your bases are covered, bunk beds can be ideal in a Miami Beach luxury home.
