Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds provide drama to children's rooms and also give them a sense of adventure. Ms. Keenan adds a shelf for books or a reading lamp in each sleeping nook to make bunk beds more attractive to children. A lot of our kids' beds bunks can be converted to two twin beds in one which is ideal if you intend to let your children move into their own bedrooms at some point. Pick from finishes such as the brushed gray, creamy white and rich walnut. Stairs or ladders You can choose between ladders or stairs when choosing bunk beds for kids. Ladders can be installed easily and are less expensive. They also provide an easy way to climb into the top bunk bed. They are also considered to be safer than staircases, as they have a larger surface for children to walk on and have a built-in handrail. Ladders usually have grooves in the steps to avoid slips when climbing up and down the bed. If you prefer the design and appearance of stairs, they could make a more elegant addition for your bunk bed. Staircases are also ideal for rooms that are tight in space since they don't extend into the space as ladders do. They can be made from metal or wood and can be matched to an array of bedroom designs. Some staircases are even equipped with storage drawers. These are a great way to add more space to the bunk bed. When deciding between a ladder and stairs it is important to consider the age of your child. It is recommended that children younger than 6 years old should not be sleeping on the top bunk. Older children who are able to climb vertically could be better off with stairs than using a ladder. In addition when you're thinking of using your bunk bed as an extra bed for children or adults with mobility issues stairs are the best choice. A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bed requires 95” of space on either side. If you do not have the space, you could opt for the u-shaped stairs that does not require as much space but still allows you to get access to the top bunk safely and securely. Certain beds offer the option of removing the stairs when they're not being used, which reduces their footprint and makes them more suited for multipurpose rooms. You can also find staircases that connect to the ends 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 allow kids to climb in and out of their beds independently and give them the feeling of independence and security. They must be set in a proper way to ensure that there aren't any gaps or loosening between guardrails and the bed's frame. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer when installing guard rails and ensure that you examine them regularly to ensure that they're not loose or have holes that could result in entrapment. One of the most important safety concerns for bunk beds is to keep them away from electrical devices as well as other objects that could turn into projectiles when your kids play or sleep. Make sure you place bunks away from windows, as they could pose a fall risk when children climb up to the top level. It is possible to install a nightlight on the ladder so that it can illuminate the steps up and down if your child wakes at the night to go to the bathroom, or if they wake up due to the sound of a storm and are forced to leave their bedroom. A safety net can be put up on the top of the bunk to prevent children from falling out when 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 firmly attached to the bunk bed structure and not removable without the use of tools. The openings in the guardrail above the mattress base should not be more than 3.5 inches wide to avoid strangulation or entrapment. To test this, insert the wedge block as shown in Figure 1 into each of the openings on the lower edge of the highest guardrail member 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 1 minute. It is also an excellent idea to instruct kids not to hang things on the ladders or guardrails, like clothing, belts and sports equipment. Instead a rack for clothes should be used to ensure that these objects aren't a strangulation risk for your child(ren). Also, make sure that more than one child does not sleep on the top of the bunk as this can create an imbalance that could result in falls. Mattresses Consider the age and size of your child when selecting a mattress for a bunk beds. A bunk mattress should last for at least eight years, or until siblings no longer share bedrooms, so you'll want to pick one that's designed to adapt to the needs of your child while still providing adequate support as they get older. There are a myriad of options for bunk mattress sizes. They are typically full or twin size. If your child suffers from asthma or allergies, choose a hypoallergenic bed with a dust-mite barrier as well as a moisture-wicking cover. Mattresses that have an antimicrobial coating will shield the foam from harmful bacteria and germs. Another crucial aspect to consider is the mattress's feel. Children typically weigh less than adults, so they need mattresses that feel firm but is also comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattress come with a firm and soft side to accommodate the needs of both children. Memory foam mattresses can be a great choice for children, but they're not our first choice since they can retain heat and could be too hard on young spines. Consider a latex or hybrid mattress that provides solid support and cooling infusions to your child or guests to rest comfortably. A low-profile mattress is often the best choice for kids bunk beds. They are designed to be less bulky than normal mattresses, and maximize the safety rail's height on the top bunk. They minimize “filler” material to offer premium quality with slim lines. If your child is looking to test a mattress that's thicker than a regular bed, consider an hybrid or innerspring mattress with upper comfort layers that can be removed or replaced as the child grows. These models will give you an idea of how the mattress will hold up as your child grows, and you can always add the mattress pad or bed skirt to stop it from slipping off the frame. Some beds have a side rails or a lip built-in to prevent this from happening. Stores Bunk beds are a great option to free up space in shared kid rooms. They also can be a cheaper alternative to buying two separate single beds. Many bunks allow to add a trundle that can be put under the bottom bunk when not being used. To maximize storage and space in a room that has bunk beds, think about creating a kids' bedroom furniture set which includes desks, dressers and/or bookcases. bunk bed for kids will allow you to keep all of your child's clothes along with toys and other personal items in one place instead of cramming everything into overstuffed chests or closets. These sets of kids bedroom furniture are sold from a variety of retailers. They are safe to use and meet federal standards. Stacked bunks are a playground for the imagination as kids can turn the space beneath into cozy places to hide and play. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked 6 bunks in this room for the ultimate space for kids that can be used for playing, sleeping and even superhero cape twirls. The room features 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 to your bunk that is stacked, a ladder can be an ideal solution. They are constructed using a combination of Single Socket Tee Flange, Single Socket Tee, and 90 Degree Side Outlet Tee fittings. They can be easily adjusted to alter the distance between rungs of a ladder to make it easier for children to climb. The ladder's rungs are also placed so that they are directly in contact with the ground, rather than above it, to make climbing less daunting. Another method to maximize space in a room that has bunk beds is by installing loft beds for kids which can be lowered to just above the floor. This lets you slide dressers, desks or toy chests beneath the beds. This is an effective maximize of space and is a great choice for small bedrooms or even in a big family home where the beds need to be able to accommodate a lot of people sleeping.
