Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds add drama to kids' rooms and also give them the feeling of adventure. To make bunks more appealing to children, Ms. Keenan often includes a shelf to store books or a reading lamp in each sleeping nook. Many of our beds for kids bunks can be converted to two twin beds in one, perfect if you plan to have your children move into their own bedrooms at some point. Choose from finishes like brushed gray, creamy white and rich walnut. Ladders or Stairs You can pick between stairs or ladders when choosing bunk beds for kids. Ladders can be easily installed and are also less expensive. They also provide an easy way to get into the top bunk bed. They are more secure than stairs, because they offer a larger area for children to walk on, and also have an integrated handrail. There are grooves on the steps to avoid slips when climbing up and down the bed. If you prefer the style and appearance of stairs, they could make an elegant addition to your bunk bed. Staircases are also ideal for rooms that are tight in space since they don't protrude into the space as ladders do. They can be constructed of wood or metal, and they can match an array of bedroom styles. Some staircases are equipped with storage drawers that are a great way to increase the space of bunk beds. When choosing between a ladder and stairs it is important to consider the age of your child. While it is recommended that nobody sleep on the top bunk before the age of 6, older children who are comfortable with climbing vertically might be better off using stairs instead of a ladder. In addition when you're thinking of using your bunk bed as an extra bed for children or adults with mobility issues stairs are the most suitable choice. A straight staircase on the opposite side of the bed requires 95” of space on either side. If you don't have enough space, you can choose a u shaped staircase which doesn't require as much space but allows you to get access to the top bunk in a safe and safely. Certain beds let you remove the stairs when they are not in use. This reduces the size of the bed, making it more versatile for multipurpose spaces. There are stairs that connect to the bottom of the bed. This eliminates the requirement for separate handrails and makes it easier to climb to the bottom for children. Guard Rails Guard rails give kids the confidence and independence to climb in and out of bed on their own. However, they must be set properly, making sure that there are no gaps or sagging occurs between the guard rails and the bed frame. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines when installing guard rails, and make sure to check them regularly to ensure they are not loose or have holes that could result in trapping. One of the most important safety concerns for bunk beds is to ensure they are kept away from electrical devices and other objects that could be projectiles while your children play or sleep. Position bunk beds away from windows to prevent a potential fall hazard if your children get up on the top level. A safety feature you may want to consider is a night light for the ladder; it can aid in illuminating the path and down in the event that children awake at night and need to go to the bathroom or are woken during a storm, and need to get from their bedroom safely. Another excellent safety feature for bunks is a safety net, which can be placed on the top of the bunk to prevent children from falling over when they're asleep or playing. bunk bed for kids is a great idea, especially for older children, who are more likely to sleep on the top bunk. The guardrails must be securely attached to the bunk beds. They cannot be removed without tools. The guardrail openings that are above the mattress base must not be more than 3.5 inches wide to avoid entrapment or strangulation. Place the wedge block as shown in Figure 1 in each opening of the uppermost guardrail member, and above the mattress foundation. Then apply a 33-lbf (147-N) force in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the larger end of the block, and keep it there for 1 minute. It is a good idea to inform your children to not hang any objects on the guardrail or ladder, such as clothing, belts, and sporting equipment. Instead you should utilize a clothes rack to prevent these items from becoming an injury to your child. Also, make sure that more than one kid does not sleep on the top of the bunk, as this could cause a dangerous imbalance which may cause falling. Mattresses When choosing a mattress for bunk beds, consider your child's size and age. A bunk mattress should last at least eight years or until siblings are no longer sharing a bedroom. You'll want to select one that can grow with your child, but still offer enough comfort as they get older. Bunk mattresses are usually twin or full-size, and there are a variety of alternatives that will accommodate either. If your children suffer from allergies or asthma, opt for an allergy-free mattress with a dust mite barrier as well as an wicking cover for moisture. Mattresses that have an antimicrobial layer will protect the foam against harmful bacteria and germs. The feel of your mattress is also important. Children are typically lighter than adults and need an appropriate mattress that is firm, yet comfortable. Many latex and hybrid mattresses have a firm side and a soft side to meet the needs of both children. Memory foam mattresses are a good choice for kids, but we don't recommend them due to their tendency not to cool properly and could be a strain on the spines of young children. Consider a latex or hybrid mattress, which offers strong support and cooling infusions that allow your child or guests to sleep comfortably. Low-profile mattresses are often the best choice for bunk beds for children. They are designed to be smaller than regular mattresses and to increase the height of the safety rails for the top bunk. They minimize “filler” materials to provide top quality and durability with slim designs. You can consider an innerspring or hybrid with upper comfort layers which can be removed and replaced as your child develops. These models will give you a good idea of how the mattress will perform as your child grows, and you can always add an extra mattress skirt or mattress pad to stop it from slipping off the frame. Some beds even have side rails or a lip built-in to prevent this from happening. Storage Bunk beds are a great way to save space in shared kid rooms. Bunk beds can also be a cheaper alternative to purchasing two large single beds. Many bunks offer the option to add a trundle, which can be put under the bottom bunk when not being used. To maximize space and storage in a space with bunk beds, consider installing a combination kids bedroom furniture set that includes desks, dressers and/or bookcases. This will allow you to keep all your child's clothing, toys and personal items in one location instead of cramming everything in overstuffed chests or closets. These combination kids bedroom furniture sets are available from a number of retailers and usually meet all federal safety standards. The stacking bunks provide an ideal playground for children and children can transform the spaces below into hidden spaces for play or cozy spaces. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked 6 bunks in this room for the ultimate play space for kids that can be used to sleep, play and even superhero cape twirls. The room has a bubble wallcovering by Chasing Paper and a ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to create the perfect escape. If you are unable to install a staircase for your bunk bed that is stacked with kids the ladder could be an ideal solution. These ladders are constructed with a single socket Flange, Single Socket Degree Side Outlet Fittings. They can be easily adjusted in order to increase or decrease distance between the ladder rungs. The ladder rungs are positioned directly on the ground rather than above, to make climbing easier. Installing loft beds that can be lowered to just above the floor is another way to maximize space in the bunk bed room. This allows you slide dressers, desks, or toy chests under the beds that are elevated. This is a true way to maximize space and can be a great option for smaller bedrooms, or in a huge family home where beds have to be able to accommodate many people sleeping.
