Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds can bring excitement and drama to a child's space. Ms. Keenan adds a shelf to hold books or a reading lamp in each sleeping nook to make bunk beds more attractive to children. A lot of our bunk beds for kids can be made into two twin beds. This is ideal if your plan is to move them to their own bedroom at some point. Choose from finishes such as brushed gray, cream white, and rich walnut. Ladders and Stairs You can choose between stairs and ladders when choosing bunk beds for children. Ladders can be installed easily and are less expensive. They also offer an easy way to climb into the top bunk bed. They are also considered safer than staircases, because they have a bigger surface for children to walk on and have a built-in handrail. Ladders often have grooves in the steps to avoid slips when climbing up and down the bed. However, if you prefer the design and style of stairs, they may be a beautiful addition to your bunk bed. Staircases are also ideal for rooms that are small on space, as they don't obstruct the space like ladders do. They can be constructed from metal or wood and can be matched to a wide range of bedroom designs. Some staircases have integrated storage drawers, which are a great way to add more space to the bunk bed. Another factor to consider when choosing between stairs and a ladder is the age of your child. While it is recommended that nobody sleep on the top bunk below the age of 6, children who are comfortable with vertical climbing may be better off with stairs than a ladder. If you are planning to use your bunk bed for guests, like older children or adults with limited mobility, it's best to use stairs. A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bunk requires a minimum of 95" of space on each side. If you don't have that much space, you can opt for a u-shaped staircase which doesn't require as much space, but offers a secure and safe method of getting to the top bunk. Some beds come with the option of distancing the stairs when they're not in use, which reduces their footprint and makes them more versatile for rooms with multiple uses. 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 to the bottom for kids. Guard Rails Guard rails let children climb in and out of their beds on their own and give them an experience of freedom and confidence. They must be placed correctly to ensure that there are no gaps or loosening in between the guardrails and the bed frame. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing guard rails, and ensure that you examine them regularly to ensure they are not loose or have holes that could cause trapping. Keep bunk beds away from electrical appliances and other items that could become projectiles when your children are playing or sleeping. Place bunk beds away from windows to prevent a potential fall hazard in the event that your children are on the upper level. A safety feature you may think about is a night lighting for the ladder; it will aid in illuminating the path and down in the event that children awake at night and need to go to the bathroom, or wake up by a storm and have to make their way from their bedroom safely. Another excellent security feature for bunk beds is a safety net which can be installed on the top level to stop children from falling down while they are asleep or playing. This is a great idea, especially for older children, who tend to sleep on the top bunk. Guardrails must be firmly attached to the bunk bed's structure and must not be removed without the use of tools. The openings in the guardrails over the mattress foundation shall not be larger than 3.5 inches to prevent strangulation and entrapment. To test this, insert the wedge block in Figure 1 into each opening in the lower edge of the topmost member of the guardrail and above the underside of the mattress foundation. Then apply 33-lbf (147-N) force in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the large end of the block, and keep it there for 1 minute. It's a good idea to instruct your children not to hang any objects on the guardrail or ladder like belts, clothing, and sports equipment. Instead kids bunk beds should utilize a clothes rack to prevent these objects from becoming a strangulation risk for your child. Be sure that no more than one child is sleeping on the top bunk. This could result in an unsafe imbalance and fall. Mattresses When choosing a mattress for bunk beds, think about the size of your child and their age. A bunk mattress should last for at least eight years or until the children are no longer sharing bedrooms. You should select one that can grow with your child, but still offer enough comfort as they get older. There are many options for bunk mattress sizes. They are typically twin or full size. If your child suffers from asthma or allergies, choose an allergy-free mattress that has a dust-mite barrier and moisture-wicking cover. Children are prone to a lot of spills and accidents, so mattresses with an antimicrobial layer can help to shield the foam from harmful bacteria and germs. The feeling of your mattress is crucial. Children are generally heavier than adults and require mattresses that are firm, yet comfortable. Many latex and hybrid mattresses come with an extra firm side as well as a soft side to meet children's needs. Memory foam mattresses are great for children, but we wouldn't recommend them because they tend not to cool properly and could be hard on the spines of young children. Consider a hybrid or a latex mattress that provides solid support and cooling infusions that allow your guest or child to sleep comfortably. Low-profile mattresses are usually the best choice for bunk beds for children. These are designed to be thinner than regular mattresses and maximize the height of the safety rail for the top bunk. They also reduce "filler" materials to provide top quality and slim designs. Consider an innerspring model or hybrid with upper comfort layers that can be removed and replaced as your child grows. These models will provide an idea of the durability of the mattress as your child grows. You can also add a mattress skirt or bed pad to prevent it from sliding. Some beds have a side rails or a lip built-in to stop this from happening. Storage Bunk beds can be a great way to make space in shared rooms for kids. Bunk beds can also be a cheaper alternative to purchasing two large single beds. Many bunks allow to add a trundle, which can be tucked under the bunk that is not in use. To maximize storage space and space in a room with bunk beds, consider creating a kids' bedroom furniture set which includes desks, dressers or bookcases. This will let you keep all of your child's personal belongings such as clothing, toys and clothes in one location without having to cram them into overstuffed closets or chests. These sets of bedroom furniture are available at a variety of retailers. They meet federal safety standards. Stacking bunks can be an opportunity for creativity and children can transform the spaces below into secret spaces for play or cozy spaces. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked six bunks to create the ultimate kids space. It can be used to sleep, play or even for superhero cape twirling. The room features the bubble wallcovering of Chasing Paper and a ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to create the perfect escape. If you cannot install a staircase to your bunk beds then a ladder is a simple alternative. They are constructed using a combination of Single Socket Tee Flange, Single Socket Tee, and 90 Degree Side Outlet Tee fittings. They can be easily adjusted to increase or decrease the distance between ladder rungs to make it easier for toddlers to climb. The rungs of the ladder are also set so that they're flush with the ground instead of above it, to make climbing less daunting. Another method to maximize space in a room with bunk beds is to install loft beds for kids which can be lowered to just above the floor. kids bunk bed allows you to slide dressers, desks, or toy chests under the beds on top. This is a real maximization of space and it is a great choice for smaller bedrooms, or in a huge family home where beds have to be able to accommodate several people sleeping.
