Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds can bring excitement and drama to a childs space Ms Keenan adds a shelf for 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 converted into two twin beds This is a great option for those who plan to move them to their own bedroom in the future Pick from finishes like white brushed gray and rich walnut Stairs or ladders When choosing kids beds bunk you have the option to choose between stairs or ladders Ladders are more affordable and simple to put in and provide a straightforward means of climbing into the bed at the top They are also safer than stairs because they offer a larger area for children to walk on and include a handrail that is integrated They also have grooves on the steps which prevent slippage when climbing up or down the bed If you like the style and look of stairs they may be a more elegant addition to your bunk bed They can also be used in rooms with limited space since they dont protrude as ladders They are often constructed of metal or wood and can complement the various styles of bedrooms Some staircases are equipped with storage drawers which can be an excellent way to expand the size of a bunk bed Another thing to take into consideration when deciding between stairs and a ladder is the age of your child It is recommended that children less than 6 years old should not be sleeping on the top bunk Children older than 6 years old who are able to climb vertically might prefer stairs than a ladder If you plan to use your bunk bed for guests such as younger children or adults who have limited mobility it is recommended to use stairs A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bed will require 95 of space on either side If you do not have the space you could opt for a u shaped staircase which does not require as much room but still allows you to reach the top bunk safely and safely Certain beds let you detach the stairs when not in use stylish bunk beds reduces the size of the bed and makes it more adaptable to multipurpose spaces There are also 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 let kids climb into and out of their beds on their own giving them the feeling of independence and confidence However they must be placed correctly ensuring that no gaps or loosening occurs between the rails that guard the bed frame If you decide to use guard rails be sure to follow the directions of the manufacturer and examine them regularly for any looseness or holes that could potentially lead to an entrapment One of the most important safety considerations for bunk beds is to ensure they are kept away from electrical devices as well as other objects that could be projectiles while your children play or sleep Be sure to place bunks away from windows which could cause a risk of falling if kids get up on the top level A safety feature you may think about is a night lighting for the ladder it can help to illuminate the ladders path up and down in the event that children awake at night to go to the bathroom or get woken during a storm and need to get out of their rooms safely Another excellent security feature for bunk beds is a safety net which can be installed at the top to prevent children from falling over when theyre 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 bed structure and not removed without the use of tools The guardrail openings that are above the mattress base must not be larger than 35 inches wide to prevent strangulation or entrapment To test this place the wedge block in Figure 1 into each opening in the lower edge of the topmost member of the guardrail and above the underside of the mattress foundation Apply an amount of 33 lbf 147 N in a direction perpendicular the plane of the large edge of the block for 1 minute It is a good idea to instruct your children not to hang any items on the ladder or guardrail like clothing belts and sports equipment Instead you should make use of a clothes rack to prevent these objects from becoming a strangulation hazard for your child Be sure that not more than one child can sleep on the top bunk This could result in a risky imbalance and even falls 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 do not share the same bedroom so youll want to choose a mattress that is designed to grow with your child while providing adequate support as they grow older Bunk mattresses are usually twin or fullsize and there are plenty of options that will fit either If your kiddos suffer from asthma or allergies choose an allergyfree mattress with a dust mite barrier as well as an wicking cover for moisture Children are prone to lots of spills and accidents so mattresses with an antimicrobial layer will help keep the foam safe from harmful bacteria and germs The comfort of your mattress is also important Children weigh less than adults so they need mattresses that feel firm but also comfortable Many hybrid and latex mattress have a firm side and a soft side to accommodate the needs of both children Memory foam mattresses are a good choice for children but we wouldnt recommend them due to their tendency not to cool effectively and can be hard on the spines of young children You should consider a hybrid or a latex mattress instead which offer strong support with cooling infusions that will keep your child or guest asleep cool and comfortable A mattress with a low profile is usually the best choice for childrens bunk beds These mattresses are designed to be less bulky than normal mattresses and to maximize the safety rails height on the top bunk They eliminate filler material to provide top quality and durability with slim lines Think about an innerspring model or hybrid with upper comfort layers which can be removed and replaced as your child grows These models will give you a clear idea of how the mattress will perform as your child grows and you can always add a mattress pad or bed skirt to stop it from sliding off the frame Some beds come with a side rails or a lip builtin to stop this from happening Stores Bunk beds can be a great way to make space in shared kid rooms Bunk beds can also be a costeffective alternative to buying two fullsized single beds Some bunks offer the option of an trundle bed that can be hidden beneath the bottom bunk when it is not being used Consider putting up a kids bedroom furniture set that includes bookshelves desks or dressers to maximize storage space in a room with bunk beds This will allow you to keep all of your childs clothes toys and personal items in one place instead of stuffing everything into chests or closets that are overstuffed These kids bedroom furniture sets are available from a variety of retailers and generally meet all federal safety standards Stacking bunks can be a playground for imagination and children 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 to sleep play or even for superhero cape twirling The room is decorated with a bubble wallcovering from Chasing Paper and the ceiling is painted Benjamin Moore Blue Jean If you arent able to build stairs for your bunk bed that is stacked with kids A ladder is a simple solution 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 little ones to climb The ladder rungs can also be placed flush with the ground rather than above to make climbing easier Another way to maximize space in a room with bunk beds is by installing loft kids beds that can be moved down to just above the floor This allows you to slide dressers desks or toy chests under the beds This is a great method to maximize space in small bedrooms or in large family homes where beds have to be capable of accommodating multiple sleepers
