One of the most important items that needs to be purchased if you are opting for bunk beds for your children's bedroom is the right kinds of mattresses. If you fail to purchase the right size bunk bed mattresses there is a greater chance of your children causing injury to themselves.
Although most bunk beds you purchase will come with mattresses they tend to not last very long. In many cases you may find yourself having to replace them within a matter of months as your child has spent so much time bouncing up and down on them.
Safety Bed Rail
When it comes to purchasing new bunk bed mattresses there are certain factors that must be taken into consideration. Not only do you need to make sure that you purchase the right size mattress but you need to make sure that they are well constructed. This will ensure that they are firm and so each night's sleep will be comfortable for your child.
To make sure that you purchase the right size mattress for your child's bunk bed make sure that you measure it first. Not only should you measure the length and width of the bed but also how deep it is from the base of the rail to the boards on which the mattress lays. The mattress that you then purchase to install shouldn't not go any more than an inch above where the safety rail base is.
As for the construction of the mattress it is worth investing more in this item as it will ensure that it lasts considerably longer. Although the number of coils within the mattress is important so is how much padding it comes with. Generally the first thing to become worn and lose its shape is the padding. So the more padding the bed mattresses come with the longer it will last. Plus this will ensure that as your child sleeps on it a great deal more support is provided.
When searching for new mattresses for your children's bunk beds then don't be afraid to spend time comparing what is available. Along with searching online it is worth carrying out some research by visiting various stores selling bunk mattresses. Along with letting your children test them out (however don't let them jump up and down on them) you must try them out as well. If you can don't just sit on the edge but lay down on them this way you can tell whether they will provide the support that all your body needs.
