Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds can add drama and adventure to a childs bedroom Ms Keenan adds a shelf for books or a reading light in each sleeping space to make bunk beds more attractive to children A lot of our bunk beds for kids can be converted into two twin beds This is perfect if your plan is to move them to their own bedroom at some point Choose from finishes like brushed white gray and rich walnut Stairs and ladders You can choose between ladders or stairs when choosing bunk beds for kids Ladders are easy to install and are also 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 wider surface for children to walk on and a handrail builtin Ladders often have grooves in the steps to prevent slips when climbing up and down the bed If you prefer the style and appearance of stairs they could make a more elegant addition for your bunk bed Staircases are also ideal for rooms that are limited in space since they dont protrude into the room as ladders do They are typically made of metal or wood and can match a variety of bedroom styles Some staircases are equipped with storage drawers that can be a great way to increase the space of a bunk bed Another factor to consider when deciding between stairs and 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 can climb vertically could be better off with stairs than a ladder If you intend to use your bunk bed to accommodate guests like older children or adults who have limitations in mobility its best to choose stairs A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bed will require 95 of space each side If you do not have enough space you can choose an ushaped staircase that does not require as much space however it still allows you to reach the top bunk safely and safely Some beds come with the option of distancing the stairs when not being used which reduces their footprint and makes them more versatile for rooms with multiple uses There are small bunk bed for kids that connect to the end the bed This eliminates the need for separate handrails and makes it easier to climb up and down to the bottom for kids Guard Rails Guard rails allow kids to climb in and out of their beds independently and provide them with an experience of independence and confidence However they must be placed correctly ensuring that no gaps or movement occurs between rails that guard the bed frame If you decide to install guard rails follow the manufacturers instructions and check them on a regular basis for any holes or looseness that could potentially lead to entrapment One of the most important safety concerns for bunk beds is to keep them free from electrical devices as well as other objects that could be projectiles if your children play or sleep Position bunk beds away from windows to prevent an injury to fall risk if your children get up on the upper level You may want to install a nightlight on the ladder so that it can illuminate the way up and down when your child awakes at the night to go to the bathroom or wake up due to a storm to leave their room Another great safety feature for bunks is a safety net which can be placed at the top to stop children from falling off while asleep or playing This is especially a good idea for older kids who are more likely to sleep in the top bunk The guardrails should be secured to the bunk beds They cannot be removed without tools The openings in the guardrails over the mattress foundation should not be larger than 35 inches to avoid strangulation and entrapment To test this insert the wedge block shown in Figure 1 into each opening in the lower edge of the highest member of the guardrail and above the mattresss underside foundation Apply 33 lbf 147 N in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the largest edge of the block for one minute It is also recommended to teach 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 items dont become a strangulation hazard for your children Also ensure that more than one child does not sleep on the top level of the bunk as this could create a dangerous imbalance which may cause falling Mattresses Take into consideration the age of your child and their size when choosing a mattress for bunk bed A bunk mattress should last for at least eight years or until siblings do not share the same bedroom So youll want to choose a mattress that is designed to expand with your child and still provide adequate support as they get older Bunk mattresses are usually full or twinsized but there are many alternatives that will fit either If your child has asthma or allergies opt for a hypoallergenic bed with a dustmite barrier and moisturewicking cover Mattresses with an antimicrobial layer will protect the foam from harmful bacteria and germs Another crucial aspect to consider is the mattresss feel Children typically weigh less than adults so they need an item that is firm but is also comfortable A lot of hybrid and latex mattresses have a firm side and a softer side to meet the needs of both children and adults Memory foam mattresses be a great choice for children but theyre not the first choice since they can retain heat and could be too hard on young spines Consider a hybrid or latex mattress instead which can provide solid support and cooling infusions that will ensure that your child or guest resting cool and comfortable Lowprofile mattresses are usually the ideal choice for bunk beds for children These are designed to be smaller than regular mattresses and maximize the height of the safety rail for the top bunk They reduce filler material to provide the highest quality and slim lines If your child would like to try a mattress thicker than a regular mattress think about an innerspring or hybrid model with upper comfort layers that can be removed or replaced as your child develops These models will give you an idea of how the mattress will hold up as your child grows and you can always include the mattress pad or bed skirt to stop it from slipping off the frame Some beds have side rails or lip built in to prevent this Storage Bunk beds are a great option for saving space in rooms shared by children Bunk beds are also a less expensive alternative to purchasing two fullsized single beds A lot of bunks have the option to add a trundle which can be placed underneath the bottom bunk when not being used To maximize storage and space in a room with bunk beds consider installing a combination kids bedroom furniture set that includes desks dressers or bookcases This will allow you keep all of your childs clothes as well as toys and personal belongings in one location instead of cramming everything in overstuffed closets or chests These sets of kids bedroom furniture are available from a variety of retailers They are safe to use and meet federal standards Stacking bunks can provide a playground for imagination as kids can transform the spaces below into secret hideaways or cosy play areas Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked 6 bunks in this room for the ultimate kids space that can be used for playing sleeping and even twirling superhero capes The room features a bubble wallcovering by Chasing Paper and a ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to create the ultimate escape If you are unable to build an entryway to your bunk beds a ladder is a good alternative These ladders are constructed with a single socket Flange Single Socket and 90 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 rather than above to aid in climbing Loft beds that can be lowered to just above the ground is another method to maximize the space of a bunk bedroom This lets you slide dressers desks or toy chests right beneath the beds This is an excellent way to maximize space in bedrooms that are small or in large family homes where beds must be capable of accommodating multiple sleepers
