Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds can add excitement and drama to a childs room Ms Keenan adds a shelf to store books or a reading light in each sleeping nook to make bunk beds more appealing to children Many of our kids beds bunk are convertible to two beds that are complete which is ideal if you intend to move your children to their own bedrooms in the near future Pick from finishes such as white brushed gray and rich walnut Ladders and Stairs You can pick between ladders or stairs when you are choosing bunk beds for children Ladders can be installed easily and are cheaper They also provide an easy way to climb into the top bunk bed They are also considered safer than staircases because they have a larger surface for children to walk on and have a builtin handrail Ladders often have grooves in the steps to prevent slipping when climbing up and down the bed If you prefer the style and look of stairs they could be an elegant addition to your bunk bed Staircases are also great for rooms that are small in space since they dont 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 are even equipped with storage drawers These are an excellent way to add more space to the bunk bed When choosing between a ladder and stairs you should also consider the age of your child It is recommended that children younger than six years old do not sleep on the top bunk Older children who can climb vertically could be better off with stairs than using a ladder If you are planning to use your bunk bed for guests such as older children or adults who have limitations in mobility its best to use stairs A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bed requires 95 of space on each side If you dont have that much space you could opt for a ushaped stairs that doesnt need as much space but provides a safe and secure way to access the top bunk Some beds allow you to remove the stairs when they are not in use This reduces the footprint of the bed and makes it more versatile for multipurpose spaces There are also staircases that connect to the bottom of the bed and eliminate the need for a separate handrail and makes it easier for children to climb up and down Guard Rails Guard rails provide children with the confidence and freedom to climb in and out of beds on their own But they must be positioned properly making sure that there are no gaps or loosening occurs between the guard rails and the bed frame If you decide to install 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 lead to an entrapment Keep bunk beds clear of electrical appliances and other objects that could be projectiles while your children are playing or sleeping Place bunk beds away from windows to prevent an injury to fall risk if your children get up on the upper level One safety feature you might think about is a night lighting for the ladder it can aid in illuminating the path and down in the event that kids awake at night and need to go to the bathroom or get woken during a storm and need to get out of their rooms in a safe manner Another excellent security feature for bunk beds is a safety net which can be installed on the top level to keep children from falling down while they are asleep or playing This is a great idea especially for older children who tend to sleep on the top bunk The guardrails should be secured to the bunk beds and cant be removed without tools The openings in the guardrails that are above the mattress foundation should not be larger than 35 inches to avoid strangulation and entrapment Place the wedge block as shown on Figure 1 in each opening of the uppermost guardrail member and above the mattress foundation Then apply 33lbf 147N force in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the large end of the block and keep it there for 1 minute Its a good idea tell your children not to hang anything on the guardrail or ladder for example belts clothes or sporting equipment Instead you should make use of a rack for clothes to stop these items from becoming an injury to your child Also make sure that more than one child is not sleeping on the top of the bunk since this could create an unsafe imbalance that could result in falls Link Website Consider your childs age and size when selecting a mattress for a bunk beds A bunk mattress will last for at least eight years or until siblings do not share a bedroom So youll want to choose a mattress that is designed to expand with your child while providing adequate support as they grow older Bunk mattress sizes are typically full or twinsized but there are many alternatives that will accommodate either If your child is suffering from allergies or asthma choose an allergyfree mattress that has a dustmite barrier as well as a moisturewicking cover Mattresses with an antimicrobial coating will shield the foam against harmful bacteria and germs Another factor to consider is the feeling of your mattress Children typically weigh less than adults which means they require an item that is firm but also comfortable A lot of hybrid and latex mattresses have a firm side and a soft side that can accommodate both childrens requirements Memory foam mattresses are great for children but we wouldnt recommend them because they tend not to cool well and can be a strain on the spines of young children Consider a hybrid or latex mattress instead which will provide solid support with cooling infusions to keep your child or guest asleep cool and comfortable A mattress with a low profile is typically the best choice for childrens bunk beds These are designed to be slimmer than regular mattresses and to increase the height of the safety rail for the top bunk They also eliminate filler materials to provide top quality and an ultraslim design If your child would like to test a mattress thats more hefty than a regular bed consider an hybrid or innerspring model with comfort layers above that can be removed or replaced as your child grows These models will give you an idea of how the mattress will stand up as your child grows and you can always put in the mattress pad or bed skirt to keep it from sliding off the frame Some beds have a builtin lip or side rails to prevent this from happening Stores Bunk beds are an excellent way to make space in shared rooms for kids Bunk beds can also be a costeffective alternative to purchasing two large single beds Many bunks also provide the option of adding a trundle bed that can be tucked away beneath the bottom bunk when it is not in use Consider putting up a kids bedroom furniture set that has desks bookcases andor dressers to maximize storage and space in a room

space and it can be a great option for small bedrooms or even in a big family home where the beds need to be able to accommodate many sleepers
