If you're interested in purchasing a bunk bed, these are the essential facts you need to know before diving into this sleeping setup.
The age warnings are there for a reason.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children under 6 years of age should not sleep in the top bunk. You might find yourself thinking, “6? Come on!” but bunks can be dangerous, especially if you’ve got a rambunctious kid. A five-year-oldbe ready for a top bunk, but four and under is definitely too young.
Despite these cautionary words, as the author of a book about bunk beds, I can tell you confidently that everyone loves a bunk bed . There is just something about bunk that excites the imagination. They are also an infinitely practical space-saving solution.
