Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds add drama to kids' rooms and provide an excitement. Ms. Keenan adds a shelf to hold books or a reading lamp in each sleeping nook to make bunk beds more attractive to children. Many of our beds for kids can be converted into two complete twin beds which is ideal if you intend to let your children move to their own bedrooms at some point. Pick from finishes like brushed white, gray and rich walnut. Ladders and Stairs You can pick between stairs or ladders when it comes to bunk beds for children. Ladders can be installed easily and are cheaper. They also offer an easy way to climb into the top bunk bed. They are more secure than stairs, because they offer a larger surface for children to walk on and include an integrated handrail. Ladders usually have grooves in the steps to prevent slips when climbing up and down the bed. However, if you prefer the design and style of stairs, they can be a more elegant addition to your bunk bed. Staircases are also suitable for rooms that are tight on space, as they don't extend into the space like ladders do. They are often made of metal or wood and can be a great match for various styles of bedrooms. Some staircases come with storage drawers that are a great way to increase the space of bunk beds. When choosing between a ladder or stairs take into account the age of your child. It is recommended that children under 6 years old not sleep on the top bunk. Children older than 6 years old who can climb vertically could do better with stairs rather than a ladder. If you plan to use your bunk bed to accommodate guests, for example, younger children or adults with limited mobility, it's recommended to use stairs. A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bed requires 95” of space each side. If you don't have that much room, you can 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. Some beds allow you to detach the stairs when not in use. This reduces the size of the bed and makes it more adaptable to multi-purpose spaces. You can also find 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 allow kids to climb in and out of their beds independently and give them the feeling of independence and security. However, they must be set properly, ensuring that there aren't any gaps or sagging occurs between the guard rails and the bed frame. If you decide to use guard rails, make sure you follow the directions of the manufacturer and examine them on a regular basis for any holes or looseness that could potentially lead to the entrapment. One of the most important safety considerations for bunk beds is to ensure they are kept away from electrical devices and any other items that could become projectiles when your kids play or sleep. Set bunk beds far from windows to avoid the risk of falling if your children get up on the upper floor. A safety feature you may be considering is a night lighting for the ladder; it will aid in illuminating the path and down in the event that children awake at night to go to the bathroom, or wake up during a storm and need to make their way from their bedroom in a safe manner. A safety net can be put up at the top of the bunk to keep children from falling out while they sleep or play. This is especially a good idea for older children, who are more likely to sleep on the top bunk. The guardrails must be securely attached to the bunk beds and cannot be removed without tools. The openings in the guardrails over the mattress foundation should not be more than 3.5 inches to prevent entrapment and strangulation. Place the wedge block shown in Figure 1 in each opening of the uppermost guardrail member, and above the mattress foundation. Apply 33 lbf (147 N) in a direction perpendicular the plane of the large edge of the block for a minute. kids bunk beds is also an excellent idea to instruct children not to hang anything on the guardrails or ladder such as belts, clothing and sports equipment; instead a rack for clothes is recommended to ensure that these objects don't become a strangulation hazard for your child(ren). Also, make sure that more than one child does not sleep on the top level of the bunk as this could cause a dangerous imbalance which may result in falls. Mattresses When selecting a mattress for bunk beds, consider your child's size and age. A bunk mattress will last for at least eight years or until siblings no longer share a bedroom So, you'll want to choose a mattress that is designed to adapt to the needs of your child, while providing adequate support as they get older. There are a variety of bunk mattress sizes. They are typically twin or full size. If your children suffer from allergies or asthma choose an allergy-free mattress with a dust mite barrier as well as an wicking cover for moisture. Children are prone to lots of spills and accidents, so a mattress that has an antimicrobial layer will help keep the foam safe from harmful bacteria and germs. Another factor to consider is the feel of your mattress. Children weigh less than adults, which means they need mattresses that feel firm, but also comfortable. Many latex and hybrid mattresses have an extra firm side as well as a soft side that can accommodate both children's needs. Memory foam mattresses be great for children However, they're not our first recommendation since they can hold heat and are too difficult on spines of young children. Think about a hybrid or latex mattress, which provides strong support and cooling infusions for your child or guests to rest comfortably. A low-profile mattress is often the best choice for children's bunk beds. They are designed to be thinner than regular mattresses, and maximize the height of the safety rails on the top bunk. They also eliminate “filler” materials to provide premium quality in slim designs. Consider an innerspring model or a hybrid with upper comfort layers that can be removed and replaced as your child develops. These models will give you a good idea of how the mattress will stand up as your child grows, and you can always add a mattress pad or bed skirt to prevent it from sliding off the frame. Some beds even have an integrated lip or side rails to prevent this from happening. Storage Bunk beds are the ideal option to free up space in shared rooms for kids. They also can be an affordable alternative to buying two separate single beds. A lot of bunks have 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 room with bunk beds, think about installing a combination kids bedroom furniture set that includes dressers, desks and/or bookcases. This will let you keep all your child's personal items such as clothing, toys and clothes in one place without cramming them into overstuffed chests or closets. The sets of kids bedroom furniture are sold from a variety of retailers. They are safe to use and meet federal standards. The stacking bunks provide an opportunity for creativity as kids can transform the spaces below into hidden places to play or cozy areas. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked six bunks to create the ultimate kids space. It can be used for sleeping, playing or even for superhero cape twirling. The room has bubble walls covered with Chasing Paper and a ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to create the ultimate getaway. If you aren't able to install an stairwell for your bunk bed that is stacked with kids A ladder is an easy solution. These ladders are built with a combination of Single Socket Tee Flange, Single Socket Tee and 90 Degree Side Outlet Tee fittings. They can be easily adjusted to increase or decrease the distance between rungs of a ladder to make it easier for toddlers to climb. The rungs of the ladder are also positioned so that they're flush with the ground rather than above it, so that climbing is less intimidating. Another method to maximize space in a room with bunk beds is by installing loft kids beds that can be lowered down to just above the floor. This lets you slide desks, dressers or toy chests under the beds on top. This is a real maximize of space and is a great choice for smaller bedrooms, or in a huge family home where beds have to be able to accommodate many sleepers.
