Kids Beds Bunk

Bunk beds can add excitement and drama to a child's space. Ms. Keenan adds a shelf to store books or a reading light in each sleeping nook to make bunk beds more appealing to children.

A lot of our bunk beds for kids can be made into two twin beds. This is perfect if your plan is to move them into their own bedroom in the near future. Choose from finishes like brushed white, gray and rich walnut.

Ladders and Stairs

When choosing kids beds bunk you can choose to choose between stairs or ladders. Ladders are less expensive and easy to install and provide a straightforward means of climbing into the bed at the top. They are also considered to be safer than staircases, as they have a larger surface for children to walk on and a handrail built-in. They also have grooves on the steps which help prevent slippage when climbing up or down the bed.

If you like the look and design of stairs, they could be a more elegant addition to your bunk bed. Staircases can also be utilized in rooms with limited space since they do not protrude like ladders. They can be constructed of wood or metal and are able to match the wide variety of bedroom styles. Some staircases are even equipped with storage drawers, which are ideal for adding more space to the bunk bed.

Another factor to consider when deciding between stairs or a ladder is the age of your child. It is recommended that nobody sleep on the top bunk before the age of 6, older children who are comfortable climbing vertically may be better off with stairs rather than a ladder. Also, if you're planning on using your bunk bed as a guest bed for younger children or for adults with a mobility issues, stairs are the preferred choice.

A straight staircase on the side of the bed will require 95" of space on either side. If you don't have that space, you could 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 remove the stairs when they are not being used. This reduces the size of the bed, making it more versatile for multipurpose spaces. You can also find stairs that connect to the end the bed. This eliminates the need for separate handrails, and makes it easier to climb up and to the bottom for kids.

Guard Rails

Guard rails let kids climb in and out of their beds on their own, giving them an experience of freedom and confidence. They must be set in a proper way to ensure that there aren't any gaps or loosening between the guardrails and the frame of the bed. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing guard rails, and make sure to examine them regularly to ensure they are not loose or have holes that could result in the entrapment.

Keep bunk beds clear of electrical appliances and other objects that can become projectiles while your children are playing or sleeping. Make sure you place bunks away from windows, which can cause a risk of falling in the event that children climb on the top floor.

It is possible to install an evening light on the ladder so that it can illuminate the ladder's climb and descent if your child wakes at night to use the bathroom, or are awakened by an erupting storm and have to leave their room.

Another great security feature for bunk beds is a safety net that can be put up on the top level to keep children from falling over while asleep or playing. This is a great idea for older children, who may be more likely to sleep in the top bunk.

The guardrails must be securely attached to the bunk beds and can't be removed without tools. The guardrail openings above the mattress base should not be larger than 3.5 inches wide to prevent strangulation or entrapment. Place the wedge block shown on Figure 1 in every opening in the uppermost guardrail member and over the mattress foundation. Then apply a 33-lbf (147-N) force in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the large end of the block, and maintain it for a period of 1 minute.

It is a good idea to tell your children not to hang any objects on the ladder or guardrail for example, belts, clothing, and sports equipment. Instead you should utilize an organized rack to keep these items from becoming an injury to your child. Be sure that no more than one child is sleeping on the top bunk. This can lead to an unsafe imbalance and fall.

Mattresses

Be aware of the age of your child and their size when choosing a mattress for bunk bed. A bunk mattress will last for at least eight years or until siblings no longer share bedrooms So, you'll want to pick one that's designed to grow with your child and still provide adequate support as they get older.

There are many options for bunk mattress sizes. They are usually twin or full size. If your child suffers from asthma or allergies choose a hypoallergenic mattress with a dust mite barrier as well as an wicking cover for moisture. Mattresses that have an antimicrobial coating will protect the foam against harmful bacteria and germs.

Another factor to consider is the feeling of your mattress. Children are typically heavier than adults and require a mattress which is firm, yet comfortable. A lot of hybrid and latex mattresses have a firm and a softer side to meet the needs of both kids and adults.

Memory foam mattresses are great for kids, but we don't recommend them due to their tendency not to cool effectively and can be hard on the spines of small children. You should consider a hybrid or a latex mattress instead, which can provide strong support with cooling infusions that will ensure that your child or guest resting cool and comfortable.

Low-profile mattresses are typically the ideal choice for bunk beds for children. They are designed to be smaller than normal mattresses, and maximize the height of the safety rails on the top bunk. They reduce "filler" materials to provide top quality and durability with a slim design.

Think about an innerspring model or hybrid that has upper comfort layers which can be removed and replaced as your child develops. These models will give you an idea of the durability of the mattress as your child grows. You can also add a bed skirt or mattress pad to stop it from sliding. Some beds have a built-in lip or side rails to prevent this from happening.

Storage

Bunk beds are an excellent way to save space in shared kids rooms. Bunk beds can also be a cheaper alternative to purchasing two full-sized single beds. Many bunks also offer the option of adding an trundle bed that can be hidden beneath the bunk that is not in use.

Consider putting up a kids' bedroom furniture combination set that includes bookcases, desks, and/or dressers to maximize storage space in a room with a bunk bed. This will allow you to keep all your child's personal items, clothing and toys in one location without having to cram them into overstuffed closets or chests. These sets of kids bedroom furniture can be found at a variety of stores. They are safe to use and meet federal standards.

The stacking bunks provide an opportunity for creativity, as children can transform the spaces below into hidden hideaways or cosy play areas. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked six bunks to create the ultimate children space. It can be used for sleeping, playing or even for superhero cape twirling. The room is decorated with bubble walls covered with Chasing Paper and a ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to create the perfect escape.

If you are unable to build an stairwell to your stacked bunk beds A ladder is a good alternative. They are constructed using a combination of Single Socket Tee, Flange and 90 Degree Side Outlet Tee fittings and can be easily adjusted to increase or decrease the distance between rungs of a ladder to make it easier for children to climb. The rungs of the ladder are also positioned in a way that they are in line with the ground instead of above it, to make climbing less intimidating.

Installing loft beds that can be lifted to just above the floor is another way to maximize space in a bunk bed room. This allows you to slide dressers, desks, or toy chests beneath the beds on top. This is an effective maximize of space and can be a great solution for smaller bedrooms, or in a large family home where beds have to be able to accommodate a lot of sleepers.
