Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds add drama to kids rooms and they also provide them with a sense of adventure Ms Keenan adds a shelf for books or a reading light in each sleeping nook to make bunk beds more appealing to children Many of our bunk beds for kids can be converted into two twin beds This is a great option when you plan to move them to their own bedroom in the near future Pick from finishes like brushed gray creamy white and rich walnut Stairs and ladders You can choose between stairs or ladders when you are choosing bunk beds for kids Ladders are more affordable and easy to install and offer an easy method of climbing into the top bed They are also considered safer than stairs since they have a larger surface for children to walk on and a builtin handrail They also have grooves in the steps which help prevent slippage when climbing up or down the bed If you prefer the design and appearance of stairs they could be a more elegant addition for your bunk bed They can also be used in rooms with limited space since they arent as imposing as ladders They can be constructed of metal or wood and they can match a wide range of bedroom designs Some staircases are equipped with storage drawers that can be a great way to increase the size of bunk beds Another factor to consider when deciding between stairs or a ladder is the age of your child It is recommended that children younger than 6 years old should not be sleeping on the top bunk Children older than 6 years old who are able to climb vertically could be better off with stairs than a ladder Additionally should you be planning on using your bunk bed as guest beds for smaller children or adults with mobility issues stairs are the most suitable choice A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bed requires 95 of space on each side If you dont have enough space you could opt for an ushaped staircase that does not require as much space but still allows you to access the top bunk safely and securely Some beds have the option of removing the stairs when theyre not in use which reduces their footprint and makes them more suited for rooms that can be used in multiple ways You can also find stairs that connect to the end 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 let children climb in and out of their beds independently and give them the feeling of independence and security They must be placed correctly to ensure that there arent any gaps or loosening in between the guardrails and the beds frame If you decide to install guard rails make sure you follow the directions of the manufacturer and examine them regularly for any holes or looseness that could lead to an entrapment Keep bunk beds clear of electrical appliances and other objects that could become projectiles when your children are playing or sleeping Also be sure to position bunks away from windows which can cause a risk of falling when children climb up to the top of the bed You might want to put an evening light on the ladder so that it can illuminate the way up and down in the event that your child gets up at the night to go to the bathroom or if they are woken by the sound of a storm and are forced to leave their room Another excellent security feature for bunk beds is a safety net which can be placed on the top of the bunk to stop children from falling off while asleep or playing This is a great idea especially for older children who are more likely to sleep on the top bunk Guardrails must be firmly attached to the bunk beds structure and must not be removable without the use of tools The guardrail openings that are above the mattress base should not be larger than 35 inches wide to prevent strangulation or entrapment To test this insert the wedge block in Figure 1 into each of the openings on the lower edge of the highest member of the guardrail and above the mattresss underside foundation Then apply 33lbf 147N force in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the larger end of the block and keep it there for 1 minute Its a good idea to tell your children not to hang anything on the guardrail or ladder for example clothing belts and sporting equipment Instead you should utilize a clothes rack to prevent the objects from creating a strangulation risk for your child Be sure that no more than one child can sleep on the top bunk This could result in an unsafe imbalance and fall Mattresses When choosing a mattress for bunk beds think about your childs size and age A bunk mattress should last for at least eight years or until siblings no longer share the same bedroom and youll need to pick one thats designed to grow with your child and still provide adequate support as they get older Bunk mattress sizes are usually fullsize or twin and there are many options that can accommodate either If your child suffers from allergies or asthma opt for a hypoallergenic mattress with a dust mite barrier and an wicking cover for moisture Kids are likely to experience a lot of accidents and spills which is why mattresses with 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 require an item that is firm but is also comfortable Many latex and hybrid mattresses have an extra firm side as well as a soft side that can accommodate both childrens requirements Memory foam mattresses are a good choice for kids but we dont recommend them because they tend not to cool effectively and can be a strain on the spines of young children Think about a hybrid or a latex mattress instead which can provide solid support with cooling infusions that will ensure your child or guest is resting cool and comfortable Lowprofile mattresses are often the ideal choice for bunk beds for children These mattresses are designed to be smaller than regular mattresses and maximize the safety rail height of the top bunk custom bunk beds minimize filler materials to provide top quality and slim designs You can consider an innerspring or a hybrid with upper comfort layers which can be removed and replaced as your child develops These models will provide you with an idea of the longevity of the mattress as your child grows You can also put in an extra bed skirt or mattress pad to prevent it from sliding Some beds come with a builtin lip or side rails to stop this from happening Stores Bunk beds are an excellent option to make space in rooms shared by children Bunk beds can also be a costeffective alternative to purchasing two large single beds A lot of bunks have the option to add a trundle that can be put under the bunk that is not being used Consider putting up a kids bedroom furniture combination set that includes bookshelves desks or dressers to maximize storage and space in a room that has a bunk bed This will allow you to keep all your childs personal belongings including toys clothing and clothes in one location without having to cram them into overstuffed chests or closets These sets of kids bedroom furniture are available at a variety of stores They are safe to use and meet federal standards Stacking bunks can be an ideal playground for children as children can transform the spaces below into secret spaces for play or cozy spaces Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked six bunks to create the ultimate children space It can be used as a place to sleep play or even for superhero cape twirling The room has a bubble wallcovering by Chasing Paper and a ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to create the perfect escape If youre unable to construct an stairwell for your bunk bed that is stacked with kids the ladder could be a simple solution These ladders 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 distance between the ladder rungs The ladder rungs are also placed flush with the ground instead of above to aid in climbing Another method to maximize space in a room that has bunk beds is by installing loft beds for kids that can be lowered down to just above the floor This allows you slide desks dressers or toy chests underneath the beds on top This is a great method to maximize space in small bedrooms or large family homes where beds have to be capable of accommodating multiple sleepers
