Q. Are there safety standards for baby cribs?

Full Size Bed Rail

Yes there are some very exact standards for your baby's crib. In 1974 it was made law that cribs should no longer be painted with lead based paint. It was discovered that the ingestion of lead (from any source) could cause learning disabilities and other difficulties in young children. The slats of the crib must be no more than 2 3/8 inches apart, this is to prevent your baby from getting his body or head stuck between the bars causing injury or strangulation. The side bar should be 26 inches above the mattress when it is in its lowest position. If your child is more than an inch taller than the sidebar it is time to move him into a regular bed.

Q. Are there some hazards in my baby's crib that I need to be aware of?

Your mattress must fit snugly in the crib; an ill-fitting mattress could cause your baby to slip between the mattress and the side bar causing suffocation. The mattress height should be able to be adjusted into at least three different levels. When your baby becomes more mobile you will want to put the mattress in the lowest position to prevent your baby from climbing or falling out. The slats should be tight, loose slats could pinch little fingers. Do not put the crib near a window to prevent your baby from possibly falling out or becoming tangled in Venetian blind cords.

Q. What are some historical facts about the crib?

Here is a short chronological time line of crib facts:

1973 - The standard for crib slats was to be no more than 2 3/8th inches apart to prevent your baby from slipping through or getting their head stuck. Also, double latches for drop-down sidebars were to become the norm.

1976 - The standard for cutouts in the crib end panels are presented. The end panels must not have any decorative cutout designs. Children were getting their limbs or heads caught causing serious injury or death.

1978 - Cribs must now be painted with non-toxic finish.

1981 - Two models of cribs with cutouts are recalled.

1988 - A voluntary standard addresses mattress support hardware, failure of glued or bolted connections, drop-side latch failure and loosened teething rails.

1990 - No corner posts or projections can be more than 1/16th of an inch above the drop-side.

1998 - California and Washington mandate that hotel cribs must meet the same standards
set for full-size cribs

1998 - Portable cribs must now meet the same standards as full-sized cribs.

Q. How can I tell when my baby is ready for a regular bed?

When your child stands more than a couple of inches taller than the sidebar with the mattress in the lowest position. If your child is climbing out of the crib, for his safety put him in a regular bed.

Q. How should I put my baby to sleep in his crib?

Place your baby on his back or on his side for sleeping. Use one piece sleepers rather than blankets. Your baby could slip under the blanket and possibly suffocate. Remove all pillows and toys as well, in order to prevent suffocation.

Q. Is it safe to cover my baby with a blanket?

A blanket sleeper will keep your baby sufficiently warm while sleeping. If you absolutely need to use a blanket, tuck it in around the bottom of the mattress. Place your baby with his feet toward the end-panel and the blanket should go no higher than his/her chest.

Q. Is a mesh sided crib safe to use for my baby?

Yes, a mesh crib is safe provided the mesh is less than 1/4 inch in size, smaller than a tiny button on baby's clothes. The should be rips, tears, or loose threads. If staples are used to attach the mesh they must not be exposed and the mesh must be securely attached to the top rail and the floor plate.

Q. Can I safely use bumper pads in my baby's crib?

While bumper pads are not necessary, they can safely be used. They must be very close the edge of the mattress and properly secured. The bumpers must be flat and not puffy, as your baby could get stuck between the bumper and the mattress and suffocate.

Q. What can I do to keep my baby's crib safe?

In order to keep your baby's a safe place, you should make sure to all connections are secure and that there are no broken or missing parts. Regularly, check the teething rail for splits or cracks. Make sure the mattress spring support and your crib will withstand your baby's increasing mobility. The mattress itself should have no splits, tears, or holes.

Q. How can I tell when it's time to lower the mattress?

When your baby becomes more active, when s/he begins to pull himself to a standing position or when he sits up alone it will be time to lower the mattress to prevent your little one from either climbing out or falling out.

Q. Can I hang a mobile over my baby's crib?

Mobiles and crib gyms can be used to entertain your baby but when your child is able to get on to their hands and knees or pull themselves up. This will prevent your baby from becoming entangled in them.

In Conclusion

Making sure your baby's crib is safe, is an ongoing to task. Proper positioning of the mattress, making sure all connections are secure and that there are no loose slats that could pinch little fingers will help to keep your baby's crib a safe place for him to be.
Be sure to place him in the crib on his back or side and dress him in a sleeper rather than using a blanket. Keeping these tips in mind will help keep your baby safe and give you some peace of mind.

Antique Beds Vs Modern Beds

Due to box spring queen and king sized mattresses being used for beds these days; antique beds are rarely manufactured. Many people look for standard queen and king sized bedding and sometimes even the old standard which is a full or a double sized one.

Full Size Bed Rail

Many years ago the size of the beds did not have much importance as the average height of the beds was much shorter than what we have now. The mattresses were home-made and the beds could be of any size, including feather beds. Feather beds are now considered as luxury items and not used in day to day life.

Full Size Bed Rail

Manufactured bedding came into existence during the 1890's and the standard full size bed measured 72"X52". People dealing in antiques referred to them as three quarter sized beds, even though they varied a lot in size. This issue became even got complicated when European beds came onto the market which and were built with totally different dimensions.

The main concern is how to convert the antique bed into a contemporary bed without damaging the appearance and proportions of the initial bed.

Conversions have been happening for many years and the materials that are used are basic brown steel rails for all sizes of beds that include full, queen or king sizes. The steel rails are attached to the headboard with bolts and sometimes a hard board of wood is placed to have bolts placed securely on the rails. A rugged steel plate is fitted with welded bolts at the foot-board which is done towards the inner part of it in order to hide the joints and bolts. The beds are then constructed by bolting the bolts and nuts at every corner of the beds.

These beds can be returned to their original sizes by using the original rails and all the fittings can be removed easily without any damages.

The reason people these days are converting their old bed frames to modern bedding is due to the thickness of mattresses which is too thick and many bedding stores are selling these thick and pillow top mattresses. These cover most of the beautiful heads of the antique beds and can be tall too. In case you would like to order a new mattress for your bed, it is ideal to measure the length from the steel rails to the top which is desired as per personal needs to determine the thickness of the new mattress.

Loft Bed: Maximizing The Space Of Small Rooms

Living in urban areas provides several luxuries: you can work at your dream firm, study at the best colleges and universities of your choice, enjoy the parties are nights, go to modern shopping centers in the block, and more. Urban living might a best but all these have the drawback: space. That is, if you live in a dormitory or a room where every inch is precious. And when you live in an area where putting a generous size of bed is impossible, eating at a coffee table requires to pass through series of maze, and rolling your sleeping bag every morning, it is time to call for help.

Full Size Bed Rail

Loft bed answers the need for extra space while maintaining a decent place. Loft bed gives you the freedom to move extra furniture in to your place without worrying where to put them. Loft bed makes your room more pleasant at it relaxed the crowd to your room. For children, loft bed can transform the bedroom into a playhouse even if the size is not big.

Full Size Bed Rail

If you are considering to buy one here are the things your should know:

Loft bed and bunk bed are two different things. Bunk bed is a type of bedding where there are two layers of mattresses. This is used if two people share one room in need for extra space. The most common type bunk bed is the upper deck is horizontal with the lower and the length of the bed depends on your need. There are stack beds with twin size bed on the top and is accessible by ladder and a full size bed at the bottom. Bunk bed also the upper and the lowed bed identical with each other. Bunk bed also has its bottom bunk running vertically and the upper bunk running horizontally.

Loft bed on the other hand presents an elevated bed. This provides an ample space to place other things such as desk, computer, lounge, and table below.

If you live with a roommate, having a bunk bed is more ideal than having a loft bed. But if you live alone, loft bed is best for you.

Loft bed should be though. Consider choosing specific type of loft bed depending on who is going to sleep on it. For teens, loft bed should be sturdy. Since they are much heavier than children, loft bed should provide enough support on their weight.

Loft bed is also designed for children. Considering such would mean looking for loft bed that is designed for children. Colorful loft bed is widely available and ensures the fun the moment bedtime arrives. It also has to have rails. The rails will protect your children in case they move at the edge of the bed. Strength should also be the top priority.

Consider the size of the bed. Make sure that the length of the loft bed will fit your room especially your body. But first, make sure that the bed will fit to your door. Although there are loft beds that can be assembled inside the room, you should always make sure that whatever type of loft bed you choose, you could always get the maximum comfort.

Loft bed should match the room. If you already have existing furniture inside your room, make sure that the loft bed you buy will not destroy the whole arrangement of the room.

One more thing: loft bed can only be used by someone who is old enough to climb up and down the stair and not for children of a very young age.

Full Loft Beds

Loft beds are every kid's dream, and full loft beds make it a reality even when they are grown up. Full loft beds are ideal for small apartments or college dorm rooms, or when you are sharing a room with others. They save space, offer privacy, provide additional space for all your stuff, and are a lot of fun. A full loft bed is a large bed, generally 78 inches long, 44 inches wide and 71 inches tall. They are sturdy and can take the weight of an adult weighing more than 200 pounds.

Full Size Bed Rail

Full loft beds come in various sizes (full, twin, twin extra long, queen), and they can also be customized to special sizes, depending upon the size of the room and height of the ceiling. The height of the bed is an important aspect, as the whole idea of the bed is to have extra space under it to house drawers, shelves, storage racks, tables, chairs, computer desks, entertainment centers, TV armoire, bookshelves, dressers, toy racks, and lots of other things.

Full Size Bed Rail

There are certain aspects to be considered when installing a loft bunk bed. The most important thing is personal safety- ensure that the safety rail along both the sides of the top bed is high enough to keep you securely in bed. The ceiling should be at least 33 inches above the top bed to prevent the most common head-bump injuries. The top bed should also be clear of fire fighting equipment, emergency doors, ventilation, windows or air-conditioning/heating systems.

Space Saving Bunk Beds

How would your kids fancy one of the funky bunk beds from the company, Space Saving Beds Company? Each of these funky bunks come with matching cupboards, drawers, a desk and a set of shelves - all of which come in a range of radiant colors and professional finishes. All are designed to be particularly sturdy and able to stand up to the heavy-duty wear and tear that most kids meter out on a daily basis.

Full Size Bed Rail

Another range available from the Space Saving Beds Company is the Foldaway Bunk Bed which is available in two widths - either 2ft 6inches or 3ft. The frame is firmly attached to a solid wall such as breeze block, brick or concrete to ensure the occupants' safety. As a space saving option for a teen's room, these foldaway bunks are amazing: the whole bed actually folds up flat against the wall when not in use. To lower you simply undo the latch and, due to the gas mechanism, the bunk lowers slowly and safely until it locks into position in the horizontal position.

Although there is clearly still a place on the market for the traditional bunk beds, many parents have become concerned about the questionable safety of their kids using a ladder to access the top bunk and whether the rails around the top of a traditional bunk are sufficient to prevent a restless youngster from rolling out during the night. The manufacturers have taken many of the parents' concerns on board and have applied additional safety features to these traditional bunk bed models. This includes doing away with the ladder, for one thing. Many children's bunk beds now on the market incorporate integral stairways into their designs, enabling children to climb up these stairs to reach the top bunk. This is a much safer option.

The most popular bunk beds on the market are the twin over twin bunks, the full over full bunks and the twin over full bunks. Many of the twin-over-twin bunks can be used side by side as normal twin beds. A twin over full bunk bed has a single bed as the top bunk and a full-width, double bed as the lower bunk. Another popular option is the futon bunk, many of which are made along the lines of the twin-over-full bunk bed. In my own opinion, this is a lovely option for children to have the option of using the bottom bunk as a sofa during the daytime.

A far more recent innovation is the sofa that, with a few twists and turns, can be quickly turned into a set of bunk beds. In terms of being excellent space saving bunk beds, this convertible couch is great. To cut a long story short, the back of this sofa converts into the upper bunk while the sofa seat converts into the lower bunk. Brilliant though this idea is [and it is very clever], it is hoped that, eventually, the price will come down a bit - rather a lot, actually, because this is certainly not a cheap option. It's good, and full fills all the options required of space saving bunk beds, until you come to the price. The last time I looked, this little number retailed at a cool ,800.00!

Get More Use From Your Retractable Tonneau Cover by Adding a Bed Rail System

If you've recently purchased a retractable tonneau cover or are at least thinking about it, consider adding a bed rail system to create even more versatility for your pickup truck. Bed rail systems are truck accessories that can be custom-fitted to work with certain types of retractable tonneaus. With these you'll be able to get more use out of your tonneau cover because they enable the installation of sport/utility rig mounts.

How Do Rails and Rig Mounts Work?

Full Size Bed Rail

The bed rails fit snugly along with your tonneau cover as long as you order compatible rails. They support a utility rig mount firmly, which is usually suspended in the air upwards, enabling your retractable tonneau cover to open and close with ease underneath. Once in place, the rig mount can be used to haul sports or utility equipment that is weather resistant while keeping valuables or items subject to weather damage safely under the retractable tonneau cover. It's similar to using a luggage rack to give more room inside a car or van.

Not only can you haul more items at once using a rail system and rig mount, but you can pick and choose which equipment or items you'd rather leave exposed to the elements or thieves. Modern retractable tonneaus often have a secure lock system in place so you can lock away items you don't want seen by the public. This works great when you're out and about, parking for periods of time during work or play.

When you take your next hiking or fishing trip, or a family excursion, place luggage, coolers, picnic items, valuables, etc. in the bed of the truck under your tonneau cover. Then, secure bikes or other heavier recreational gear to your rig mount. This gives you more room in your truck bed without having all of your items exposed.

Choosing a Rail System

Be sure to choose a bed rail system that is designed to be installed with your type of tonneau cover. For example, the Explorer Series bed rails by Pace Edwards can be installed with JackRabbit (Full Metal or Original) and Bedlocker retractable tonneau covers. These are black-powder coated extruded aluminum rails featuring keyhole-style channels, which enable you to instantly secure exchangeable rig mounts. No-drill clamps are used to install the rails. Explorer Series rails can accommodate Utility Rig Racks(R), Contractor Rig Racks(R) and MultiSport(TM) Racks. The main thing you'll want to make sure of is that the bed rails are compatible with your tonneau and truck size and shape. Also, be sure a warranty is available in case something goes wrong during or after installation.

Bed rails can easily be ordered online along with retractable tonneau covers and rig mounts to fit your needs. Be sure to stick with quality brands such as Pace Edwards to ensure security and easy installation of your items. Most items can be installed from your home with no drilling. Instructions are provided, so this saves time and gives you peace of mind that your bed rails and tonneau cover are installed properly. Some online stores have special offers if you order your bed rails along with a cover. So if you're contemplating either of these items, look for a combination that works for you!
