Kids Beds BunkBunk beds can add drama to kids’ rooms and also give them an excitement. To make bunk beds more appealing to children, Ms. Keenan often includes a bookcase or an reading lamp in each sleeping space.Many of our bunk beds for kids can be transformed into two twin beds. This is perfect when you plan to make them move to their own bedroom in the near future. Choose from kids bunk beds with storage like the brushed gray, creamy white and rich walnut.Stairs and LaddersYou can choose between ladders or stairs when choosing bunk beds for children. Ladders are cheaper and easy to install and offer an easy method of climbing into the top bunk. They are also considered safer than staircases, as they have a wider surface for children to walk on and a built-in handrail. Ladders usually have grooves in the steps to prevent slipping when climbing up and down the bed.If you prefer the design and style of stairs, they may be a beautiful addition to your bunk bed. Staircases can also be utilized in rooms that are small as they do not protrude like ladders. They are typically made of wood or metal and can match the various styles of bedrooms. Some staircases have integrated storage drawers that can be a great way to increase the size of a bunk bed.Another thing to take into consideration when deciding between stairs and a ladder is the age of your child. It is recommended that children under six years old do not sleep on the top bunk. Older children who are able to climb vertically could prefer stairs than climbing a ladder. Also when you’re thinking of using your bunk bed as a guest bed for younger children or adults who have mobility issues stairs are the most suitable option.A straight staircase that runs along the sides of the bunk requires at least 95″ of space on each side. If you do not have the space, you could opt for the u-shaped stairs that does not require as much space, but allows you to get access to the top bunk in a safe and safely. Some beds allow you to detach the stairs when not in use. This reduces the footprint of the bed, making it more versatile for multipurpose spaces. You can also find stairs that connect to the bottom of the bed and eliminate the need for a separate handrail and makes it easier for children to climb up and down.Guard RailsGuard rails provide children with the confidence and freedom to climb into and out of bed on their own. But they must be positioned properly, ensuring that there aren’t any gaps or loosening occurs between the rails that guard the bed frame. If you choose to use guard rails, follow the instructions of the manufacturer and inspect them on a regular basis for any holes or looseness which could cause the entrapment.Keep bunk beds away from electrical appliances and other things that could be projectiles while your children are playing or sleeping. Set bunk beds far from windows to prevent a potential fall hazard if your children get up on the top level.A safety feature you may want to consider is a night lighting for the ladder; it can help illuminate the path up and down in the event that kids awake at night and need to go to the bathroom or get woken by a storm and have to get out of their rooms in a safe manner.Another excellent safety feature for bunks is a safety net, that can be put up on the top of the bunk to keep children from falling off when they’re asleep or playing. This is a great idea for older kids, who may be more likely to sleep in the top bunk.Guardrails must be securely attached to the bunk bed structure and not removable without the use of tools. The openings in the guardrails that are above the mattress foundation shall not be larger than 3.5 inches to prevent strangulation and entrapment. Place the wedge block as shown on Figure 1 in every opening in the uppermost guardrail member and over the mattress foundation. Then apply a 33-lbf (147-N) force in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the largest end of the block, and sustain it for 1 minute.It’s a good idea inform your children to not hang anything on the ladder or guardrail, such as belts, clothing, and sporting equipment. Instead you should make use of a clothes rack to prevent the objects from creating a strangulation risk for your child. Be sure that not more than one child sleeps on the top bunk. This can lead to an unsafe imbalance and fall.MattressesWhen selecting a mattress for bunk beds, think about the size and age of your child. A bunk mattress should last at least eight years or until siblings stop sharing the same bedroom. You should select one that can grow with your child, but still provide enough comfort as they age.There are a variety of bunk mattress sizes. They are usually twin or full size. If your child is suffering from asthma or allergies, opt for a hypoallergenic bed with an anti-dust barrier and a moisture-wicking cover. Kids tend to have many spills and accidents, so mattresses with an antimicrobial layer will help protect the foam from harmful bacteria and germs.The feeling of your mattress is also important. Children weigh less than adults, so they need a mattress that feels firm but is also comfortable. A lot of hybrid and latex mattresses have a firm and a soft side to meet the needs of both children.Memory foam mattresses be a great choice for children, but they’re not our first recommendation because they tend to retain heat and could be too harsh on young spines. Consider a latex or hybrid mattress, which provides strong support and cooling infusions for your child or guests to sleep comfortably.A mattress with a low profile is typically the best option for kids bunk beds. They are designed to be smaller than regular mattresses and to increase safety rail height for the top bunk. They also eliminate “filler” materials to offer the highest quality in slim designs.If your child would like to try a mattress that’s more substantial than a standard bed, consider an hybrid or innerspring mattress with upper comfort layers that can be removed or replaced as your child develops. These models can give you an idea of the mattress’s durability as your child grows. You can also add a mattress skirt or bed pad to prevent it from sliding. Some beds even have side rails or a lip built-in to stop this from happening.StorageBunk beds are a great alternative to save space in rooms shared by children. Bunk beds can also be a cost-effective alternative to purchasing two large single beds. Many bunks also offer the option of a trundle bed which can be hidden beneath the bunk that is not being used.To maximize storage and space in a space with bunk beds, consider creating a kids’ bedroom furniture set that includes dressers, desks or bookcases. This will let you keep all of your child’s personal items, clothing and toys in one spot without cramming them into overstuffed chests or closets. The sets of kids bedroom furniture are sold at a variety of stores. They meet federal safety standards.Stacked bunks can be an imaginative playground as children can transform the space beneath into cozy hideaways and secret play zones. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked six bunks to create the ultimate children space. It can be used to sleep, play or even for superhero cape twirling. The room features a bubble wallcovering by Chasing Paper and a ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to create the ultimate getaway.If you are unable to build a staircase to your stacked bunk beds then a ladder is an option. They are constructed using a combination of Single Socket Tee Flange, Single Socket Tee, 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 set so that they are flush with the ground instead of above it, to make climbing less daunting.Another way to maximize space in a room with bunk beds is by installing loft beds for kids that can be moved down to just above the floor. This lets you slide desks, dressers or toy chests under the beds that are elevated. This is an excellent way to maximize space in small bedrooms or large family homes where beds have to be capable of accommodating multiple sleepers.
