Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds can bring excitement and drama to a child's space. Ms. Keenan adds a shelf to store books or a reading light in every sleeping nook to make bunk beds more appealing to children. A lot of our bunk beds for kids can be transformed into two twin beds. This is perfect for those who plan to make them move to their own bedroom at some point. Pick from finishes such as brushed gray, creamy white and rich walnut. Stairs and ladders You can pick between stairs and ladders when you are choosing bunk beds for children. Ladders are less expensive and easy to set up and provide an easy way to climb into the top bed. They are also considered safer than staircases, because they have a larger surface for children to step on and have a built-in handrail. Ladders often have grooves in the steps to avoid slips when climbing up and down the bed. If you prefer the style and appearance of stairs then they can make a more elegant addition for your bunk bed. Staircases are also ideal for rooms that are small on space since they don't obstruct the room like ladders do. They can be made from metal or wood and are able to match the wide variety of bedroom styles. Some staircases come with storage drawers that can be a great way to increase the space of a bunk bed. When deciding between a staircase and a ladder it is important to consider the age of your child. It is recommended that children younger than 6 years old should not be sleeping on the top bunk. Older children who can climb vertically could be better off with stairs than climbing a ladder. If you plan to use your bunk bed to accommodate guests, for example, young children or adults who have limited mobility, it is best to use stairs. A straight staircase on the opposite side of the bed will require 95” of space each side. If you don't have this much room, you can choose a u-shaped staircase that doesn't need as much space, but offers a secure and safe method of getting to the top bunk. Some beds allow you to disconnect the stairs when they're not being used. This reduces the footprint of the bed, making it more adaptable to multi-purpose spaces. You can also find stairs that connect to the top of the bed. This eliminates the need for separate handrails and makes it easier to climb up and down to the bottom for kids. Guard Rails Guard rails give children the confidence and independence to climb into and out of bed independently. They must be positioned correctly to ensure that there aren't any gaps or loosening between guardrails and the bed's frame. If you decide to use guard rails, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and check them frequently for any looseness or holes that could potentially lead to an entrapment. One of the most important safety concerns for bunk beds is to keep them away from electrical devices and other items that could become projectiles if your children play or sleep. Position bunk beds away from windows to prevent an injury to fall risk in the event that your children are on the upper floor. One safety feature you might be considering is a night lighting for the ladder; this can help illuminate the path up and down in the event that kids awake at night to go to the bathroom or are woken during a storm, and need to get from their bedroom in a safe manner. A safety net could be put up on top of the bunk to keep children from falling out while they sleep or play. This 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 should not exceed 3.5 inches wide to prevent strangulation or entrapment. To test this, insert the wedge block shown in Figure 1 into each opening in the lower edge of the uppermost member of the guardrail and above the mattress's underside foundation. Then apply kids bunk beds -lbf (147-N) force in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the larger end of the block and sustain it for 1 minute. It's also an excellent idea to instruct youngsters not to hang things on the ladders or guardrails, like clothing, belts and sports equipment. Instead, a clothes rack should be used to ensure that the objects aren't a strangulation risk for your child(ren). Make sure that no more than one child sleeps on the top bunk. This can lead to an unsafe imbalance and fall. Mattresses Consider your child's age and size when choosing a mattress for bunk beds. A bunk mattress should last for at least eight years, or until siblings do not share a bedroom, so you'll want to pick one that's designed to grow with your child while still providing sufficient support as they grow older. Bunk mattress sizes are usually full or twin-sized, but there are plenty of alternatives that will fit either. If your child has allergies or asthma choose an allergy-free mattress that has an anti-dust barrier and a moisture-wicking cover. A mattress with an antimicrobial layer will protect the foam from harmful bacteria and germs. Another factor to consider is the feeling of your mattress. Children are typically lighter than adults and need an appropriate mattress that is firm, yet comfortable. Many latex and hybrid mattresses have one side that is firm and the other soft side to accommodate both children's requirements. Memory foam mattresses are good for kids, but we don't recommend them because they tend not to cool well and can be hard on the spines of small children. Consider a latex or hybrid mattress, which provides 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. These mattresses are designed to be thinner than normal mattresses, and to maximize the safety rail height of the top bunk. They reduce “filler” material to provide top quality and durability with a slim design. Think about an innerspring model or hybrid that has upper comfort layers that can be removed and replaced as your child develops. These models will give you an idea of the mattress's durability as your child grows. You can also add a bed skirt or mattress pad to prevent it from sliding. Some mattresses have side rails or a lip built in to prevent this. Stores Bunk beds are an excellent alternative to save space in shared rooms for children. They can also be a cost-effective alternative to purchasing two separate single beds. Many bunks also provide the option of adding a trundle bed that can be hidden under the bottom bunk when it is not being used. To maximize storage space and space in a space with bunk beds, think about installing a mix kids bedroom furniture set which includes desks, dressers and/or bookcases. This will let you keep all of your child's personal belongings such as clothing, toys and clothes in one spot without cramming them into overstuffed chests or closets. These kids bedroom furniture sets are available from a range of retailers and typically meet all federal safety standards. Stacking bunks can be an ideal playground for children and children can transform the spaces below into hidden hideaways or cosy play areas. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked 6 bunks in this room to create the ultimate 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 aren't able to build stairs to your bunk that is stacked, a ladder can be an ideal solution. The ladders are constructed with a combination of Single Socket Tee Flange, Single Socket Tee, and 90 Degree Side Outlet Tee fittings. kids bunk bed can be easily adjusted to alter the distance between rungs of a ladder to make it easier for little ones to climb. The ladder's rungs are also set so that they're directly in contact with the ground, rather than above it, to make climbing less intimidating. Another way to maximize space in a room with bunk beds is to install loft beds for kids that can be moved down to just above the floor. This lets you slide dressers, desks, or toy chests beneath the beds on top. This is an effective maximize of space and can be a great option for small bedrooms or even in a huge family home where the beds need to be able to accommodate a lot of people sleeping.
