A bunk bed is a type of bed in which one bed frame is stacked on top of another. The nature of bunk beds allows two people to sleep in the same room while maximizing available floor space. This leads to them being used in places with limited floor space, such as on ships and in army garrisons or in places that wish to maximise bedspace such as: dormitories, summer camp cabins, hostels, children's rooms, prison cells, or university residence halls. Bunk beds are normally supported by four poles or pillars, one at each corner of the bed. To get to the second bunk a ladder is used, though taller children often find other faster, more creative methods of climbing into them. The top bed is normally surrounded by a railing to prevent the sleeper from falling out, and some models also have a privacy curtain for the lower bunk. Because of the need for a ladder and the height of the bed, the top bunk of a bunkbed is not recommended for children under six years of age. From Wikipedia under the

Regular Beds?
Q. What are the disadvantages and advantages of having a bunkbed or loft bed rather than a regular bed? i really want to know about comfort level. Are bunks just as comfortable as regulars? Asked by Jesse C - Mon May 8 16:35:22 2006 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. Bunkbeds... If you get a good quality mattress and a sturdy bed/frame, they can be comfortable. Advantages: Space saving, fun for kids Disadvantages: Top bunk is near the ceiling where it is hottest -- can be very stuffy and uncomfortable for sleeping in winter or summer. Bottom bunk is closer to the floor where it is coolest -- can be cold in winter. Bunkbeds are generally against a wall, which can be restrictive for sleeping. Danger of falling off loft/top bunk even with railings. Danger of falling off ladder. Difficult to make beds. Upper bunk/loft can be difficult to get to due to injury or illness. Sleeping habits of peron on upper bunk can be distrubing to person on lower bunk (i.e, tosses and turns a lot). Answered by phluphy - Wed May 17 15:27:14 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "bunkbeds" |
