Maintaining Safety In Loft Beds
Searching for a loft bed with desk with adequate safety features is an important requirement. Lofts are exquisite furnishings for all types of room whether huge or small. They are appealing to the eye and serve a helpful purpose too. Lofts in order to be useful should match your needs, weight and provide safety to user.
These are some of the guidelines to keep you safe when you use lofts:
Weight capacity. Some lofts cannot carry more than 200 pounds of weight. This is because most manufacturers designed the lofts for children. If you are unsure about the weight capacity, you should inquire. A 200 pound capacity may seem a lot but if you consider the weight of the mattress and the foundation plus the weight of the person, this might not be adequate.
Safety Mattress. The mattress should be tied to bed rails. Kids who play with the upper mattress might untie the mattress and could pin the child. The mattress foundation should be strong for safety reasons.
The mattress size is essential as well. A mattress should be about 6 inches thick. If it is not adequately thick, it could slide off bed while you are fast asleep. The frame should cover the mattress so it will not dislodge.
Strong Guardrails. The safety rails of upper mattress should be at the very least 5 inches long. Anything lesser would be unsafe. If you roll out of upper mattress, remember that you will fall to the floor. This could cause injuries or even be fatal. Guardrails can prevent that from happening.
Safety Ladder. The ladder must be attached to loft so it will not move while you are climbing. The ladders should be screwed or bolted not just hanged.
If you want to hang things under the loft, do not put the hooks near the ladder. These hooks are great for hanging dresses or a roasting pan but it is not safe if put near the ladder as this could pin your skin injuring you. Pointed objects ought to be safely placed under the bed.
Sturdy bed foundation. When you climb the ladder of bed, it should not sway. It should be able to support your body weight. The bed must make you confident and you do not feel like it is collapsing under your weight. It must not be attached to the wall for added support. Lofts should be free standing not bolted to a wall.
Wood frames should not use pressure treated lumber. This lumber is not suitable for indoors due to its toxic content. Refrain from using this wood for your loft bed.
