Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds can add excitement and drama to a child's space. Ms. Keenan adds a shelf to hold 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 made into two twin beds. This is a great option when you plan to move them into their own bedroom in the future. Pick from finishes such as white, brushed gray and rich walnut. Stairs and ladders You can choose between stairs and ladders when choosing bunk beds for children. Ladders are less expensive and easy to install and provide an easy method of climbing into the bed at the top. They are also considered to be safer than staircases, as they have a wider surface for children to step on and a handrail built-in. Ladders often have grooves in the steps to prevent slips when climbing up and down the bed. If you like 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 often made of wood or metal and can match the various styles of bedrooms. Some staircases have integrated storage drawers which can be a great way to increase the size of a bunk bed. When choosing between a ladder or stairs take into account the age of your child. It is recommended that children younger than six years old do not sleep on the top bunk. Older children who can climb vertically may prefer stairs than climbing a ladder. In addition when you're thinking of using your bunk bed as an extra bed for children or for adults with a limited mobility, stairs are the preferred option. A straight staircase on the opposite side of the bed requires 95” of space on each side. If you don't have that much space, you could choose a u-shaped staircase that doesn't need as much space but still provides a safe and secure way to access the top bunk. Certain beds offer the option of detaching the stairs when not in use, which further reduces their footprint and makes them more suitable for rooms with multiple uses. You can also find staircases that connect to the ends of the bed and eliminate the requirement for a separate handrail, and makes it easier for children to climb up and down. Guard Rails Guard rails provide children with the confidence and the freedom to climb in and out of beds on their own. They must be set in a proper way to ensure that there are no gaps or loosening in between the guardrails and the frame of the bed. If you decide to use guard rails, follow the manufacturer's instructions and check them on a regular basis for any looseness or holes which could cause the entrapment. One of the most important safety concerns for bunk beds is to keep them away from electrical devices and any other items that could become projectiles if your children play or sleep. Set bunk beds far from windows to avoid an injury to fall risk in the event that your children are on the upper level. You may want to install a nightlight on the ladder to light the steps up and down in the event that your child gets up at night to use the bathroom, or if they are woken by an erupting storm and have to leave their bedroom. Another excellent security feature for bunk beds is a safety net that can be put up at the top to prevent children from falling off while asleep or playing. This is a great idea particularly for older children who are more likely to sleep on the top bunk. Guardrails must be securely attached to the bunk bed structure and are not removed without the use tools. The guardrail openings above the mattress base must not be more than 3.5 inches wide to prevent entrapment or strangulation. Place affordable bunk beds for kids as shown in Figure 1 in every opening in the uppermost guardrail member and over the mattress foundation. Apply an amount of 33 lbf (147 N) in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the larger edge of the block for a minute. It's also a good idea to teach kids not to hang anything on the ladders or guardrails, like clothing, belts and sports equipment. Instead a rack for clothes is recommended to ensure that the objects do not pose a strangulation danger for your child(ren). Also, make sure that more than one kid does not sleep on the top of the bunk as this could cause an unsafe imbalance that could cause falling. Mattresses Be aware of your child's age and size when selecting a mattress to fit a bunk beds. A bunk mattress should last at the least eight years or until siblings are no longer sharing the same bedroom. You'll want to choose one that will grow with your child, but still offer enough comfort as they get older. There are a variety of bunk mattress sizes. They are usually full or twin size. If your child is suffering from asthma or allergies, opt for an allergy-free mattress that has a dust-mite barrier as well as a moisture-wicking cover. Mattresses with an antimicrobial coating will protect the foam against harmful bacteria and germs. Another factor to consider is the feel of your mattress. Children typically weigh less than adults, which means they require an item that is firm but also comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattresses come with a firm side and a soft side that can accommodate both children's requirements. Memory foam mattresses are great for kids, but we don't recommend them due to their tendency not to cool properly and could be a strain on the spines of infant children. Consider a latex or hybrid mattress, which offers strong support and cooling infusions to your child or guests to sleep comfortably. Low-profile mattresses are often the best choice for bunk beds for children. These mattresses are designed to be thinner than normal mattresses, and increase the height of the safety rails on the top bunk. They also minimize “filler” materials to provide the highest quality in slim designs. If your child would like to try a mattress that's thicker than a regular bed, consider an innerspring or hybrid model with upper comfort layers that can be removed or replaced as the child develops. These models can provide an idea of the mattress's durability as your child grows. You can also add an extra bed skirt or mattress pad to stop it from sliding. Some beds have a side rails or a lip built-in to prevent this from happening. Stores Bunk beds are a great option for saving space in shared rooms for children. Bunk beds can also be a cheaper alternative to purchasing two large single beds. Many bunks also offer the option of an trundle bed that can be tucked away beneath the bottom bunk when it is not in use. You might want to consider installing a bedroom for your child furniture combination set that includes bookshelves, desks, or dressers to maximize storage space in a bedroom with a bunk bed. This will let you store all of your child's clothes along with toys and other personal items in one place instead of cramming everything into overstuffed closets or chests. These sets of bedroom furniture are sold at a variety of retailers. They meet federal safety standards. The stacking bunks provide an ideal playground for children, as children can transform the spaces below into secret spaces for play or cozy spaces. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked 6 bunks in this room to create the ultimate kids space that can be used for sleeping, playing and even twirling superhero capes. The room has bubble walls covered with Chasing Paper and a ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to create the ultimate escape. If you are unable to install an stairwell for your bunk bed that is stacked with kids A ladder is an easy solution. The ladders are constructed 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 rungs of a ladder to make it easier for children to climb. The rungs of the ladder are also placed in a way that they are directly in contact with the ground, rather than above it, so that climbing is less intimidating. Another way to maximize space in a room with bunk beds is to install loft beds for kids that can be lowered down to just above the floor. This allows you to slide dressers, desks, or toy chests under the elevated beds. This is a real maximize of space and can be a great solution for smaller bedrooms or in a huge family home where beds have to be able to accommodate several sleepers.
