Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds can bring excitement and drama to a child's space. To make bunks more appealing to children, Ms. Keenan often includes a bookcase or a reading lamp in each sleeping space. A lot of our bunk beds for kids can be converted into two twin beds. This is a great option if your plan is to move them into their own bedroom in the future. Pick from finishes such as white, brushed gray and rich walnut. Ladders or Stairs If you're looking for bunk beds for kids, you have the option to pick between stairs or ladders. Ladders are cheaper and simple to put in and offer a straightforward means of climbing into the top bunk. They are also considered to be safer than stairs, since they have a wider surface for children to step on and a built-in handrail. They also have grooves on the steps which prevent slippage when climbing up or down the bed. If you like the design and look of stairs, then they can make a more elegant addition for your bunk bed. They can also be used in rooms that are small as they do not protrude like ladders. They can be made from metal or wood, and they can match an array of bedroom styles. Some staircases even include integrated storage drawers. They are a great way to add more space to the bunk bed. Another factor to consider when deciding between stairs or a ladder is the age of your child. It is recommended that children under 6 years old not sleep on the top bunk. Older children who are able to climb vertically might do better with stairs rather than climbing a ladder. If you are planning to use your bunk bed for guests, for example, young children or adults who have limitations in mobility, it's best to use stairs. A straight staircase on the side of the bed requires 95" of space on each side. If you do not have enough space, you could opt for a u shaped staircase which doesn't require as much space, however it still allows you to get access to the top bunk safely and securely. Some beds allow you to disconnect the stairs when they're not in use. This reduces the size of the bed, making it more adaptable to multi-purpose spaces. You can also find stairs that connect to the bottom 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 allow kids to climb in and out of their beds on their own, giving them a sense of independence and confidence. However, they must be set properly, making sure that there are no gaps or loosening occurs between the rails that guard the bed frame. If you decide to use guard rails, make sure you follow the instructions of the manufacturer and inspect them regularly for any holes or looseness that could lead to an entrapment. Keep bunk beds away from electrical appliances and other items that could be projectiles while your children are playing or sleeping. Make sure you place bunks away from windows, which could pose a fall risk in the event that children climb on the top of the bed. You might want to put a nightlight on the ladder to illuminate the ladder's climb and descent in the event that your child gets up at night to use the bathroom, or are awakened by the sound of a storm and are forced to leave their room. A safety net could be installed on the top of the bunk to prevent children from falling out while they're sleeping or playing. This is a great idea, especially for older children, who tend to sleep on the top bunk. Guardrails must be securely attached to the bunk bed structure and are not removable without the use of tools. The guardrail openings that are above the mattress base must not exceed 3.5 inches wide to avoid strangulation or entrapment. To test this, place the wedge block as 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. Apply 33 lbf (147 N) in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the largest edge of the block for one minute. It's a good idea to instruct your children not to hang any objects on the guardrail or ladder like belts, clothes, or sporting equipment. Instead you should make use of an organized rack to keep the objects from creating a strangulation risk for your child. Be sure that no more than one child is sleeping on the top bunk. This could result in a dangerous imbalance and falls. Mattresses Be aware of the age and size of your child when selecting a mattress for a bunk bed. A bunk mattress should last at least eight years or until siblings stop sharing bedrooms. You'll want to select one that grows with your child, but still offer enough comfort as they age. Bunk mattress sizes are usually twin or full-size, and there are many options that will fit either. If your children suffer from asthma or allergies choose an hypoallergenic mattress that has a dust mite barrier and a cover that wicks moisture. Kids are likely to experience a lot of accidents and spills, so a mattress with an antimicrobial layer will help protect the foam from harmful bacteria and germs. The comfort of your mattress is also crucial. Children are typically heavier than adults, and require a mattress which is firm, yet comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattress have a firm side and a soft side to meet the needs of both kids and adults. Memory foam mattresses are great for kids, but we don't recommend them due to their tendency not to cool well and can be a strain on the spines of young children. Think about a hybrid or a latex mattress instead, which will provide solid support with cooling infusions to ensure your child or guest is sleeping cool and comfortable. A low-profile mattress is often the best option for kids bunk bed s. These are designed to be smaller than regular mattresses and to increase the height of the safety rail for the top bunk. They eliminate "filler" material to provide premium quality with slim designs. Consider an innerspring model or hybrid that has upper comfort layers that can be removed and replaced as your child grows. These models will give you a clear idea of how the mattress will hold up as your child grows, and you can always put in an extra mattress skirt or mattress pad to prevent it from sliding off the frame. Some beds have a side rails or a lip built-in to stop this from happening. Stores Bunk beds are an excellent alternative to save space in rooms shared by children. They also can be a cost-effective alternative to buying two separate full sized single beds. A lot of bunks have the option to add a trundle that can be put under the bottom bunk when not being used. To maximize storage and space in a space with bunk beds, you should consider installing a mix kids bedroom furniture set that includes dressers, desks and/or bookcases. This will allow you to keep all of your child's clothes, toys and personal items in one place instead of cramming everything into overstuffed closets or chests. These sets of kids bedroom furniture are available at a variety of stores. They meet federal safety standards. Stacking bunks can be an ideal playground for children as kids can transform the spaces below into secret places to play or cozy areas. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked 6 bunks in this room for the ultimate space for kids that can be used for sleeping, playing and even twirling superhero capes. 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 are unable to construct a staircase to your bunk that is stacked, a ladder can be an easy solution. These ladders are built with a combination of Single Socket Tee Flange, Single Socket Tee and 90 Degree Side Outlet Tee fittings and can be easily adjusted to increase or decrease the distance between ladder rungs to make it easier for little ones to climb. The ladder rungs are set directly on the ground rather than higher to facilitate climbing. Another method to maximize space in a room with bunk beds is to put up loft kids beds that can be lowered down to just above the floor. This allows you slide desks, dressers or toy chests beneath the beds that are elevated. This is a great way to maximize the space in smaller bedrooms or in large family homes where beds must be sufficient for multiple people to sleep.
