Faux Leather Beds

Faux Leather Beds are more popular than ever as the quality increases the prices are dropping. Faux leather has always been the cheaper alternative to a full leather bed but in the years gone by is was very easy to tell the difference between them . The Faux leather used to produce the beds was a very shiny looking material and to the touch it lacked quality.

Today the faux leather has improved in design and as most faux leather beds are imported from overseas usually originating from China or the far east the prices have been dropping dramatically too. A standard 4Ft 6 faux leather bed can be purchased for as little as £155.00 which is fantastic as this same bed could have cost £249 as little as two years ago.

The beds are upholstered on the head, foot and side rails in good quality faux leather and more colours are been produced now including cream faux leather which is fast becoming the colour of choice for most bed buyers.

Real leather beds still offer exceptional quality and nothing beats the feel of real leather but im happy to say faux leather has come a long way since it originated on the bed buying circuit and fingers crossed the prices should continue to fall

How To Choose A Safe Bunk Bed For Your Children

Children love bunk beds. Bed manufacturers have capitalized on this market and now have a vast range of bunk beds to choose from. As a bunk bed is often a child’s first bed after sleeping in a cot, it is important to know about bunk bed safety.

Due to the upper bed usually been a considerable distance from the floor, safety has to play a major part in the design of bunk beds. Many factors have to be considered for safety as there can be less obvious but potentially very serious hazards in the structure of a bunk bed.

Guardrail spacing – When choosing a bunk bed make sure the space between the guardrail and mattress or the bed frame and mattress is small enough not to allow a young child to slip through. Deaths and injury have been reported when children became suspended by the head in these spaces and strangled.

Guardrails which are attached to the bed by hooks and remain in place by their own weight can dislodge, allowing a child to become entrapped under the guardrail or fall. Check with your bed supplier that these rails are secure before purchase.

If there is a risk of guardrails causing injury, attach additional boards to bunk beds to close up any large gap between the lower edge of the guardrails and the upper edge of the bed frame.
Use of the bed without rails on both sides - Most bunk beds are used with one side located against a wall and are sold with only one guardrail for the upper bunk to prevent falls from the side away from the wall.

Deaths have occurred when very young children have rolled off the bed and become trapped between the wall and the side of the bed not having a guardrail. It is worth noting that this hazard is not unique to bunk beds. Regular beds can present the same hazard and should be carefully checked before allowing your child to sleep in them.

Dislodgment of mattress foundation - The standard mattress on many bunk beds rests on small ledges attached to the bed frame. The mattress can dislodge and suffocation deaths have occurred when mattress foundations fell on children playing on the floor or occupying the lower bunk.

Fasten additional cross ties underneath the mattress foundation of both beds to avoid the mattress moving excessively.

Bed structure – Make sure the bunk bed ladder that is secured to the bed frame and will not slip when a child climbs on it.

Always use two side guardrails on the upper bunk. Keep guardrails securely in place at all times no matter what the age of the child. Finally, it is a good idea not to permit children younger than six to sleep in the upper bunk of bunk beds.
