Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds provide drama to children's rooms and also give them a sense of adventure. To make bunks more appealing to kids Ms. Keenan often includes a shelf to store books or a reading lamp in each sleeping nook. A lot of our bunk beds for kids can be converted into two twin beds. This is a great option when you plan to move them into their own bedroom at some point. Choose from finishes like brushed gray, cream white, and rich walnut. Ladders or Stairs When choosing kids beds bunk you can choose to pick between ladders or stairs. Ladders are easy to install and are cheaper. They also offer an easy way to get into the top bunk bed. They are also safer than stairs, as they provide a wider surface for children to walk on, and also have an integrated handrail. Ladders usually 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 an elegant addition to your bunk bed. Staircases are also great for rooms that are limited on space, as they don't protrude into the space like ladders do. They can be constructed from metal or wood and are able to match a wide range of bedroom designs. Some staircases have integrated storage drawers. These are ideal for adding more space to the bunk bed. When choosing between a ladder and stairs, you should also consider the age of your child. While it is recommended nobody sleep on the top bunk under the age of 6, children who are comfortable with climbing vertically may be better off with stairs than a ladder. Also, if you're planning on using your bunk bed as an extra bed for children or adults who have limited mobility stairs are the most suitable option. kids double bunk bed on the opposite side of the bed will require 95” of space each side. If you do not have the space, you can opt for a u shaped staircase which does not require as much space however it still allows you to get access to the top bunk safely and safely. Some beds come with the option of distancing the stairs when they're not being used, which reduces their footprint and makes them more suitable for rooms that can be used in multiple ways. There are also staircases that connect to the end of the bed, which eliminates the need for a separate handrail and makes it easier for children to climb up and down. Guard Rails Guard rails give children the confidence and independence to climb into and out of bed independently. They must be positioned correctly to ensure that there aren't any gaps or loosening between guardrails and the frame of the bed. If you decide to install guard rails, follow the instructions of the manufacturer and inspect them on a regular basis for any holes or looseness that could potentially lead to entrapment. Keep bunk beds away from electrical appliances and other items that could become projectiles when your children are playing or sleeping. Position bunk beds away from windows to prevent the risk of falling if your children get up on the upper level. A safety feature you may be considering is a night light for the ladder. it will help illuminate the path up and down in the event that kids wake at night to go to the bathroom, or wake up during a storm and need to make their way out of their room in a safe manner. A safety net could be placed on the top of the bunk to stop children from falling out when they sleep or play. This is especially a good idea for older children, who are more likely to sleep in the top bunk. Guardrails should be secured to the bunk bed structure and not removed without the use tools. Openings in the guardrails above the mattress foundation shall not be more than 3.5 inches to avoid entrapment and strangulation. To test this, insert the wedge block as shown in Figure 1 into each of the openings on the lower edge of the highest guardrail member and above the underside of the mattress foundation. Then apply 33-lbf (147-N) force in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the larger end of the block and sustain it for 1 minute. It is a good idea to inform your children to not hang anything on the ladder or guardrail for example, clothing, belts, and sports equipment. Instead you should utilize an organized rack to keep the objects from creating a strangulation risk for your child. Also, make sure that more than one child does not sleep on the top level of the bunk as this can create a dangerous imbalance which may cause falling. Mattresses Consider your child's age and size when selecting a mattress for a bunk beds. A bunk mattress should last for at least eight years or until siblings stop sharing a bedroom. You should select one that grows with your child and still offer enough comfort as they get older. There are a myriad of options for bunk mattress sizes. They are typically full or twin size. If your child suffers from asthma or allergies, choose an hypoallergenic mattress with a dust-mite barrier as well as a moisture-wicking cover. Mattresses that have an antimicrobial coating will shield the foam from harmful bacteria and germs. The feeling of your mattress is crucial. Children are generally lighter than adults and need an appropriate mattress that is firm but also comfortable. A lot of hybrid and latex mattresses have one side that is firm and the other soft side to meet children's needs. Memory foam mattresses can be great for children however they're not our first recommendation since they can retain heat and could be too difficult on spines of young children. Think about a hybrid or a latex mattress instead, which can provide solid support with cooling infusions to ensure that your child or guest resting cool and comfortable. Low-profile mattresses are usually the best option for bunk beds for children. These are designed to be slimmer than standard mattresses and increase 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 bed, consider an hybrid or innerspring model with comfort layers on the top that can be removed or replaced as your child grows. 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 prevent it from slipping off the frame. Some beds come with a built-in lip or side rails to prevent this from happening. Storage Bunk beds can be 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 a trundle bed that can be hidden beneath the bunk that is not being used. Consider putting up a kids' bedroom furniture set that has bookcases, desks, and/or dressers to maximize storage and space in a bedroom with a bunk bed. This will let you keep all of your child's personal items such as clothing, toys and clothes in one place without cramming them into overstuffed chests or closets. These sets of bedroom furniture are sold at a variety of retailers. They are safe to use and meet federal standards. Stacked bunks can be an imaginative playground as kids can transform the space beneath into cozy places to hide and play. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked six bunks to create the ultimate kids space. It can be used to sleep, play or even for twirling superhero capes. The room is decorated with a bubble wallcovering from Chasing Paper, and the ceiling is painted Benjamin Moore Blue Jean. If you cannot install an entryway to your stacked bunk beds A ladder is a simple alternative. These ladders are constructed with a single socket Flange, Single Socket Degree Side Outlet Fittings. They can be easily adjusted in order to increase or decrease the distance between the ladder rungs. The ladder rungs are positioned in a straight line with the ground instead of above to facilitate climbing. Installing loft beds that can be lifted to just above the ground is another method to maximize space in the bunk bedroom. This lets you slide dressers, desks or toy chests beneath the beds. This is an effective way to maximize space and is a great choice for smaller bedrooms, or in a large family home where the beds need to be able to accommodate several people sleeping.
