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 each sleeping space to make bunk beds more appealing to children. Many of our bunk beds for kids can be converted into two twin beds. This is ideal for those who plan to move them to their own bedroom in the future. Pick from finishes like brushed gray, cream white and rich walnut. Stairs or ladders If you're looking for bunk beds for kids you can choose to select between stairs or ladders. Ladders are less expensive and simple to put in and offer an easy way to climb into the top bunk. They are also safer than stairs, as they provide a wider surface for children to walk on, and also have a handrail that is integrated. They also have grooves on the steps which help prevent slippage when climbing up or down the bed. If you like the style and look of stairs, they can be a more elegant addition to your bunk bed. They can also be used in rooms with limited space as they do not protrude like ladders. They are usually made of metal or wood and can be a great match for the various styles of bedrooms. Some staircases have integrated storage drawers, which are an excellent way to add more space to the bunk bed. When deciding between a staircase and a ladder, you should also consider the age of your child. While it is recommended that no one sleeps on the top bunk under the age of 6, older children who are comfortable with vertical climbing may be better off with stairs rather than a ladder. In addition, if you're planning on using your bunk bed as guest beds for smaller children or for adults with a mobility issues, stairs are the preferred option. A straight staircase that runs along the sides of the bunk requires a minimum of 95" of space on each side. If you don't have the space, you can choose an u-shaped staircase that does not require as much space, but still allows you to get access to the top bunk in a safe and safely. Some beds have the option of removing the stairs when not in use, which further reduces their footprint and makes them more versatile for rooms with multiple uses. There are also 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 provide children with the confidence and the freedom to climb in and out of bed on their own. However, they must be placed properly, making sure that there are no gaps or sagging occurs between the rails that guard the bed frame. If you decide to use guard rails, be sure to follow the instructions of the manufacturer and inspect them on a regular basis for any holes or looseness that could potentially lead to the entrapment. One of the most important safety considerations for bunk beds is to keep them free from electrical devices as well as other items that could become projectiles while your children play or sleep. Be sure to place bunks away from windows, which can pose a fall risk if kids get up on the top level. One safety feature you might be considering is a night light for the ladder. it can help illuminate the path up 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 in a safe manner. A safety net could be placed at the top of the bunk to stop children from falling out when they are sleeping or playing. This is a great idea particularly for older children who tend to sleep on the top bunk. The guardrails should be secured to the bunk beds and can't be removed without tools. The openings in the guardrail above the mattress base should not exceed 3.5 inches wide to prevent strangulation or entrapment. The wedge block is placed in Figure 1 in every opening in the uppermost guardrail member and above the mattress foundation. Then apply 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's a good idea to tell your children not to hang anything on the guardrail or ladder, such as belts, clothing, and sports equipment. Instead you should make use of an organized rack to keep the objects from creating a strangulation hazard for your child. Also, make sure that more than one child is not sleeping on the top of the bunk as this could create a dangerous imbalance which may lead to falling. Mattresses When choosing a mattress for bunk beds, consider the size of your child and their age. A bunk mattress should last at least eight years or until the children are no longer sharing bedrooms. You'll want to select one that will grow with your child, but still offer enough comfort as they get older. Bunk mattress sizes are typically full or twin-sized, but there are a variety of alternatives that will fit either. If your child suffers from allergies or asthma choose an allergy-free mattress that has a dust-mite barrier as well as a moisture-wicking cover. A mattress with an antimicrobial coating will shield the foam against harmful bacteria and germs. The feel of your mattress is crucial. Children are generally heavier than adults and require mattresses that are firm, but also comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattresses have a firm side and a soft side to accommodate both children's requirements. Memory foam mattresses are great for children, but we wouldn't recommend them because they tend 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 that your child or guest sleeping cool and comfortable. Low-profile mattresses are often the ideal choice for bunk beds for children. These mattresses are designed to be thinner than normal mattresses, and maximize the safety rail's height on the top bunk. They also reduce "filler" materials to offer premium quality in an ultra-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 a good idea of how the mattress will perform as your child grows and you can always add the mattress skirt or mattress pad to keep it from sliding off the frame. Some mattresses have side rails or a lip built in to prevent this. Storage Bunk beds are an excellent option to free up space in shared rooms for kids. Bunk beds can also be a cost-effective alternative to buying two full-sized single beds. Some bunks offer the option of adding a trundle bed that can be hidden beneath the bunk that is not in use. Consider putting up a kids' bedroom furniture set that has bookcases, desks, and/or dressers to maximize storage space in a room that has a bunk bed. This will allow you to keep all of your child's clothes along with toys and other personal items in one spot instead of cramming everything into chests or closets that are overstuffed. These sets of bedroom furniture can be found from 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 hideaways or cosy play areas. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked 6 bunks in this room for the ultimate kids space that can be used to sleep, play and even superhero cape twirls. The room is decorated with bubble walls covered with Chasing Paper and a ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to create the perfect escape. If you're unable to construct an stairwell to your stacked bunk beds then a ladder is an option. The ladders are constructed with 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 rungs of a ladder to make it easier for children to climb. The ladder rungs are set in a straight line with the ground rather than above, to make climbing easier. Loft beds that can be raised to just above the floor is another method to maximize space in the bunk bed room. This allows you slide dressers, desks, or toy chests under the elevated beds. This is a true maximize of space and can be a great solution for small bedrooms or even in a huge family home where beds have to be able to accommodate a lot of people sleeping.
