Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds add drama to kids rooms and provide a sense of adventure To make bunk beds more appealing to children Ms Keenan often includes a shelf to store books or an reading lamp in each sleeping nook A lot of our bunk beds for kids can be made into two twin beds This is a great option when you plan to make them move to their own bedroom in the future Choose from finishes like brushed white gray and rich walnut kids bunk bed with stairs and Ladders You can choose between stairs or ladders when choosing bunk beds for children Ladders are cheaper and easy to set up and they provide an easy method of climbing into the top bunk They are also more secure than stairs since they provide a greater area for children to walk on and have an integrated handrail There are grooves on the steps to avoid slips when climbing up and down the bed If you like the design and style of stairs they could be a beautiful addition to your bunk bed Staircases are also great for rooms that are small in space since they dont protrude into the space as ladders do They can be constructed of metal or wood and they can match an array of bedroom styles Some staircases come with storage drawers that are an ideal way to expand the space of bunk beds When deciding between a ladder and stairs it is important to consider the age of your child While it is recommended no one sleeps on the top bunk below the age of 6 older children who are comfortable climbing vertically might be better off using stairs instead of a ladder In addition should you be planning on using your bunk bed as an extra bed for children or adults who have limited mobility stairs are the best option A straight staircase on the opposite side of the bed will require 95 of space on each side If you do not have the space you can choose a u shaped staircase which doesnt require as much space but allows you to access the top bunk in a safe and safely Certain beds offer the option of detaching the stairs when theyre not in use which further reduces their footprint and makes them more versatile for rooms that can be used in multiple ways You can also find stairs 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 provide children with the confidence and independence to climb into and out of bed on their own They must be set in a proper way to ensure there arent any gaps or loosening between guardrails and the bed frame If you decide to use guard rails follow the instructions of the manufacturer and inspect them on a regular basis for any holes or looseness that could lead to entrapment One of the most important safety tips for bunk beds is to ensure they are kept away from electrical devices as well as other objects that could turn into projectiles when your kids play or sleep Also be sure to position bunks away from windows which can cause a risk of falling if kids get up on the top of the bed One safety feature you might want to consider is a night lighting for the ladder it can aid in illuminating the path and down in the event that children awake at night and need to go to the bathroom or are woken by a storm and have to get from their bedroom safely Another great safety feature for bunks is a safety net that can be put up on the top level to prevent children from falling down while they are asleep or playing This is a great idea for older children who may be more likely to sleep on the top bunk The guardrails should be secured to the bunk beds They cannot be removed without tools The openings in the guardrail above the mattress base must not be larger than 35 inches wide to avoid entrapment or strangulation Place the wedge block as shown in Figure 1 in every opening in the uppermost guardrail member and above the mattress foundation Apply a force of 33 lbf 147 N in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the largest edge of the block for 1 minute Its a good idea instruct your children not to hang any objects on the ladder or guardrail like clothing belts and sports equipment Instead you should make use of a rack for clothes to stop the objects from creating an injury to your child Make sure that no more than one child sleeps on the top bunk This could lead to a dangerous imbalance and falls Mattresses When choosing a mattress to use for bunk beds think about the size and age of your child A bunk mattress will last for at least eight years or until siblings are no longer sharing a bedroom So youll want to select a mattress designed to adapt to the needs of your child while still providing adequate support as they get older There are a variety of bunk mattress sizes They are typically twin or full size If your child has allergies or asthma choose a hypoallergenic bed with a dustmite barrier and moisturewicking cover Kids tend to have lots of accidents and spills which is why a mattress that has an antimicrobial layer will keep the foam safe from harmful bacteria and germs The feeling of your mattress is also crucial Children typically weigh less than adults so they need a mattress that feels firm but is also comfortable A lot of hybrid and latex mattresses have a firm and a soft side to meet the needs of both kids and adults Memory foam mattresses are great for children but we wouldnt recommend them as they tend not to cool well and can be hard on the spines of small children Consider a latex or hybrid mattress that provides solid support and cooling infusions for your guest or child to sleep comfortably Lowprofile mattresses are often the best option for bunk beds for children They are designed to be smaller than regular mattresses and maximize the height of the safety rails for the top bunk They minimize filler material to provide premium quality with slim designs Think about an innerspring model or hybrid that has upper comfort layers that can be removed and 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 put in a mattress pad or bed skirt to keep it from slipping off the frame Some beds have side rails or lip builtin to prevent this Storage Bunk beds can be an excellent way to make space in shared rooms for kids They can also be an affordable alternative to buying two separate single beds Many bunks also offer the option of adding a trundle bed that can be hidden beneath the bunk that is not being used Consider putting up a kids bedroom furniture set that includes desks bookcases andor dressers to maximize storage space in a room with bunk beds This will let you store all your childs clothing as well as toys and personal belongings in one place instead of stuffing everything into overstuffed closets or chests These sets of kids bedroom furniture can be found from a variety of retailers They meet federal safety standards Stacked bunks can become a playground for the imagination as kids can transform the spaces beneath into cozy hideaways and secret play zones Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked 6 bunks in this room to create the ultimate kids space that can be used for sleeping playing and even twirling superhero capes The room is decorated with a bubble wallcovering of Chasing Paper and the ceiling is painted Benjamin Moore Blue Jean If youre unable to construct a staircase to your bunk beds a ladder is a simple alternative The ladders are constructed using a combination Single Socket Flange and 90 Degree Side Outlet Fittings They can be easily adjusted to increase or decrease the distance between the ladder rungs The ladder rungs can also be positioned directly on the ground instead of above to make climbing easier Another way to maximize space in a room with bunk beds is by installing loft kids beds which can be lowered to just above the floor This allows you to slide desks dressers and toy chests right under the elevated beds This is a true maximization of space and it can be a great option for small bedrooms or even in a large family home where beds have to be able to accommodate several people
