Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds provide drama to children's rooms and provide an excitement. To make bunks more appealing to kids, Ms. Keenan often includes a ledge to hold books or a reading lamp in each sleeping space. Many of our beds for kids bunk are convertible to two twin beds in one which is ideal if you intend to move your children into their own bedrooms at some point. Choose from finishes like the brushed gray, creamy white and rich walnut. Stairs or Ladders You can pick between stairs and ladders when it comes to bunk beds for kids. Ladders can be easily installed and are also less expensive. They also offer an easy way to get into the top bunk bed. They are also considered safer than stairs, since they have a wider surface for children to step on and a handrail built-in. Ladders also usually have grooves on the steps, which help prevent slippage when climbing up or down the bed. However, if you prefer the style and look of stairs, they can be a beautiful addition to your bunk bed. Staircases can also be utilized in rooms with limited space as they aren't as imposing as ladders. They can be constructed from metal or wood, and they can match a wide range of bedroom designs. Some staircases are even equipped with storage drawers, which are ideal for adding more space to the bunk bed. When deciding between a ladder and stairs take into account 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 may prefer stairs than a ladder. Also should you be planning on using your bunk bed as an extra bed for children or adults who have limited mobility stairs are the most suitable choice. A straight staircase on the sides of the bunk requires a minimum of 95” of space on each side. If you don't have this much space, you can choose a u-shaped staircase that doesn't require as much space but still provides a safe and secure way to access the top bunk. Some beds allow you to detach the stairs when not being used. This reduces the size of the bed and makes it more versatile for multipurpose spaces. There are also staircases that connect to the bottom of the bed, which eliminates the requirement for a separate handrail, and makes it easier for children to climb up and down. Guard Rails Guard rails let kids climb into and out of their beds without assistance and provide them with the feeling of freedom and confidence. But they must be positioned correctly, ensuring that no gaps or sagging occurs between the rails that guard the bed frame. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines when installing guard rails and make sure to check them regularly to ensure that they're not loose or have holes that could lead to trapping. Keep bunk beds out of electrical appliances and other objects that can become projectiles while your children are playing or sleeping. Place bunk beds away from windows to avoid the risk of falling 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 will help illuminate the path up and down in the event that kids awake at night to go to the bathroom, or wake up by a storm and have to make their way out of their room in a safe manner. Another excellent safety feature for bunks is a safety net which can be installed on the top of the bunk to prevent children from falling off while they are asleep or playing. This is a great idea for older kids, who are more likely to sleep in the top bunk. kids bunk beds must be firmly attached to the bunk bed's structure and must not be removable without the use of tools. The openings in the guardrail above the mattress base must not be larger than 3.5 inches wide to avoid entrapment or strangulation. To test this, place the wedge block 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 a 33-lbf (147-N) force in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the large end of the block and maintain it for a period of 1 minute. It's a good idea to instruct your children not to hang anything on the guardrail or ladder, such as clothing, belts, and sports equipment. Instead, you should use an organized rack to keep the objects from creating a strangulation risk for your child. Also, make sure that more than one kid is not sleeping on the top floor of the bunk as this could create a dangerous imbalance which may result in falling. Mattresses Take into consideration the age of your child and their size when selecting a mattress to fit a bunk beds. A bunk mattress will last for at least eight years or until siblings no longer share bedrooms, so you'll want to select a mattress designed to grow with your child while still providing sufficient support as they grow older. There are a variety of bunk mattress sizes. They are typically full or twin size. If your kiddos suffer from allergies or asthma, opt for an allergy-free mattress with dust mite barriers and a cover that wicks moisture. Children are prone to many accidents and spills, so a mattress that has an antimicrobial layer can help keep the foam safe from harmful bacteria and germs. Another crucial aspect to consider is the feeling of your mattress. Kids are usually lighter than adults and need a mattress which is firm, yet comfortable. A lot of hybrid and latex mattresses have a firm and a soft side to accommodate 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 well and can be hard on the spines of small children. Think about a hybrid or a latex mattress instead, which offer solid support and cooling infusions that will ensure your child or guest is sleeping cool and comfortable. Low-profile mattresses are usually the ideal choice for bunk beds for children. They are designed to be thinner than regular mattresses and to increase safety rail height for the top bunk. They also eliminate “filler” materials to offer premium quality in 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 can provide an idea of the longevity of the mattress as your child grows. You can also add an extra bed skirt or mattress pad to prevent it from sliding. Some beds even have built-in lip or side rails to stop this from happening. Stores Bunk beds can be the ideal way to save space in shared kids rooms. They can also be a cost-effective alternative to purchasing two separate, full-sized single beds. kids bunk beds provide the option of adding a trundle bed which can be hidden beneath the bunk that is not in use. To maximize storage space and space in a room that has 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 personal belongings including toys, clothing and clothes in one place without cramming them into overstuffed closets or chests. These bedroom furniture sets are available from a variety of retailers and generally meet all federal safety standards. Stacking bunks can be an opportunity for creativity, as children can transform the spaces below into hidden spaces for play or cozy spaces. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked six bunks to create the ultimate kids space. It can be used for playing, sleeping or even for twirling superhero capes. The room is decorated with the bubble wallcovering of Chasing Paper and a ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to create the ultimate escape. If you are unable to build a staircase to your stacked bunk beds A ladder is a simple alternative. These ladders are built with a combination of Single Socket Tee, Flange and 90 Degree Side Outlet Tee fittings and can be easily adjusted to alter the distance between ladder rungs to make it easier for toddlers to climb. The ladder's rungs are also placed so that they are flush with the ground rather than above it, to make climbing less intimidating. The installation of loft beds that can be lowered to just above the floor is another method to maximize space in the bunk bedroom. This allows you to slide desks, dressers or toy chests beneath the beds that are elevated. This is a great method to maximize space in small bedrooms or large family homes where beds need to be capable of accommodating multiple sleepers.
