Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds can add excitement and drama to a child's bedroom. Ms. Keenan adds a shelf to store books or a reading light in each sleeping nook to make bunk beds more attractive to children. Many of our bunk beds for kids can be converted into two twin beds. This is ideal when you plan to move them into their own bedroom in the near future. Pick from finishes like the brushed gray, creamy white and rich walnut. Stairs and Ladders You can choose between stairs and ladders when you are choosing bunk beds for kids. Ladders can be easily installed and are cheaper. They also offer an easy way to get into the top bunk bed. They are also more secure than stairs as they provide a wider surface for children to walk on and include an integrated handrail. They also have grooves on the steps which prevent slippage when climbing up or down the bed. If you like the design and appearance of stairs, then they can make a more elegant addition for your bunk bed. Staircases are also ideal for rooms that are tight on space since they don't protrude into the room like ladders do. They are often constructed of metal or wood and can be a great match for a variety of bedroom styles. Some staircases are equipped with storage drawers which can be an excellent way to expand the size of a bunk bed. When deciding between a staircase and a ladder take into account the age of your child. While it is recommended that no one sleep on the top bunk before the age of 6, children who are comfortable with vertical climbing might be better off using stairs instead of a ladder. If you intend to use your bunk bed for guests, such as young children or adults who have limited mobility, it's best to choose stairs. A straight staircase on the side of the bed will require 95” of space on either side. If you don't have that room, you can choose a u-shaped staircase which doesn't require as much space but still offers a secure and safe way to access the top bunk. Some beds allow you to detach the stairs when not being used. This reduces the footprint of the bed and makes it more adaptable to multi-purpose spaces. You can also find stairs that connect to the end 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 let children climb into and out of their beds without assistance, giving them a sense of independence and confidence. However, they must be set correctly, ensuring that no gaps or loosening occurs between the rails of the guard and bed frame. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines when installing guard rails and be sure to inspect them on a regular basis to ensure they are not loose or have holes that could lead to the entrapment. Keep bunk beds away from electrical appliances and other items that could be projectiles while your children are playing or sleeping. Be sure to place bunks away from windows, as they could be a danger to fall in the event that children climb on the top of the bed. A safety feature you may think about is a night lighting for the ladder; this can help illuminate the path up and down in the event that kids wake at night to go to the bathroom or are woken during a storm, and need to get out of their rooms safely. Another excellent security feature for bunk beds is a safety net that can be put up on the top of the bunk to stop children from falling down while asleep or playing. This is a great idea for older children, who are more likely to sleep in the top bunk. The guardrails must be secured to the bunk beds and can't be removed without tools. The guardrail openings above the mattress foundation should not exceed 3.5 inches wide to prevent strangulation or entrapment. To test this, place the wedge block shown in Figure 1 into each opening in the lower edge of the topmost member of the guardrail and above the underside of the mattress foundation. Apply 33 lbf (147 N) in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the largest edge of the block for a minute. It is a good idea to tell your children not to hang any items on the guardrail or ladder for example, belts, clothing, and sporting equipment. Instead you should utilize a clothes rack to prevent these objects from becoming a strangulation risk for your child. Also, ensure that more than one child is not sleeping on the top floor of the bunk, as this could create an imbalance that could result in falling. Mattresses Take into consideration your child's age and size when selecting a mattress for a bunk beds. 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, and still offer enough comfort as they get older. Bunk mattress sizes are usually twin or full-size, and there are many alternatives that will accommodate either. If your child suffers from allergies or asthma choose a hypoallergenic mattress with a dust mite barrier as well as a moisture-wicking cover. Children are prone to lots of accidents and spills, so mattresses with an antimicrobial layer will help keep the foam safe from harmful bacteria and germs. The feeling of your mattress is also crucial. Children are generally heavier than adults, and require a mattress which is firm, yet comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattresses come with a firm side and a soft side to meet children's requirements. Memory foam mattresses can work well for kids, but they're not the first choice since they can retain heat and could be too difficult on spines of young children. You should consider a hybrid or a latex mattress instead, which will provide solid support and cooling infusions that will ensure your child or guest is resting cool and comfortable. Low-profile mattresses are often the best option for bunk beds for children. They are designed to be thinner than regular mattresses, and increase the height of the safety rails on the top bunk. They also eliminate “filler” materials to offer premium quality in an ultra-slim design. If your child would like to test a mattress that's more hefty than a regular mattress, think about an hybrid or innerspring model with comfort layers above that can be removed or replaced as the child grows. These models will 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 built-in lip or side rails to prevent this from happening. Stores Bunk beds are the ideal way to make space in shared rooms for kids. Bunk beds can also be a cheaper alternative to purchasing two full-sized single beds. Many bunks offer the option to add a trundle, which can be put underneath the bottom bunk when not being used. To maximize storage and space in a space with bunk beds, think about installing a combination kids bedroom furniture set which includes desks, dressers or bookcases. This will let you keep all your child's personal items such as clothing, toys and clothes in one spot without cramming them into overstuffed closets or chests. These sets of kids bedroom furniture can be found from a variety of retailers. They are safe to use and meet federal standards. Stacked bunks can become an ideal playground for the imagination as kids can transform the spaces underneath into cosy hideaways and secret play zones. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked six bunks to create the ultimate children space. It can be used as a place for sleeping, playing or even for superhero cape twirling. The room is decorated with a bubble wallcovering of Chasing Paper, and the ceiling is painted Benjamin Moore Blue Jean. If you're unable to construct a staircase for your bunk bed that is stacked with kids A ladder is a simple solution. They are constructed with a combination Single Socket Flange, Single Socket Degree Side Outlet Fittings. They can be easily adjusted in order to increase or decrease the distance between the ladder rungs. The ladder's rungs are also placed so that they're in line with the ground instead of above it, to make climbing less daunting. Another way to maximize space in a room with bunk beds is to put up loft kids beds which can be lowered to just above the floor. This lets you slide dressers, desks, or toy chests underneath the beds that are elevated. This is a great way to maximize space in small bedrooms, or in large family homes where beds have to be sufficient for multiple people to sleep.
