Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds can add excitement and drama to a child's space. To make bunks more appealing to children Ms. Keenan often includes a bookcase or an reading lamp in each sleeping space. Many of our beds for kids bunk are convertible to two beds that are complete ideal if you are planning to let your children move to their own bedrooms at some point. Choose from finishes like white, brushed gray and rich walnut. Stairs or Ladders When choosing kids beds bunk you can choose to choose between stairs or ladders. Ladders are easy to install and are less expensive. They also provide an easy way to get into the top bunk bed. They are also more secure than stairs since they provide a greater surface for children to walk on and include an integrated handrail. There are grooves on the steps to prevent slips when climbing up and down the bed. If you prefer the style and appearance of stairs then they can make a more elegant addition for your bunk bed. They can also be used in rooms with limited space since they don't protrude as ladders. They can be made from wood or metal and can be matched to an array of bedroom styles. Some staircases have integrated storage drawers that are an excellent way to expand the space of bunk beds. When deciding between a staircase and a ladder take into account the age of your child. It is recommended that children under 6 years old should not be sleeping on the top bunk. Older children who can climb vertically might be better off with stairs than a ladder. If you plan to use your bunk bed for guests, such as younger children or adults with limited mobility, it's best to choose stairs. A straight staircase along the sides of the bunk requires a minimum of 95” of space on each side. If you do not have enough space, you can opt for an u-shaped staircase that doesn't require as much space however it still allows you to reach the top bunk safely and securely. Some beds allow you to detach the stairs when not being used. This reduces the size of the bed, making it more versatile for multipurpose spaces. There are also staircases that connect to the end 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 give kids the confidence and freedom to climb in and out of beds on their own. However, they must be set correctly, ensuring that no gaps or loosening occurs between the rails of the guard and bed frame. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines when installing guard rails, and make sure to inspect them on a regular basis to ensure that they're not loose or have holes that could lead to entrapment. One of the most important safety considerations for bunk beds is to ensure they are kept away from electrical devices and any other items that could become projectiles if your children play or sleep. Position bunk beds away from windows to avoid the risk of falling if your children get up on the top level. A safety feature you may think about is a night lighting for the ladder; it will help illuminate the path up and down in the event that children awake at night and need to go to the bathroom or get woken during a storm and need to get out of their room safely. A safety net could be placed at the top of the bunk to stop children from falling off while 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's structure and must not be removed without the use tools. The openings in the guardrail above the mattress base should not exceed 3.5 inches wide to prevent entrapment or strangulation. Place the wedge block shown in Figure 1 in each opening of the uppermost guardrail member and over the mattress foundation. Apply 33 lbf (147 N) in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the large edge of the block for one minute. It's a good idea inform your children to not hang any objects on the ladder or guardrail like belts, clothes, or sports equipment. Instead, you should use a clothes rack to prevent the objects from creating an injury to your child. Also, make sure that more than one child should not sleep on the top floor of the bunk, since this could cause an unsafe imbalance that could result in falling. Mattresses When choosing a mattress to use for bunk beds, take into account the size and age of your child. A bunk mattress should last for at least eight years, or until siblings do not share the same bedroom, so you'll want to choose a mattress that is designed to expand with your child while still providing adequate support as they get older. There are bunk beds for kids of bunk mattress sizes. They are typically twin or full size. If your child is suffering from allergies or asthma choose an hypoallergenic mattress with an anti-dust barrier and a moisture-wicking cover. Kids are likely to experience many accidents and spills, which is why a mattress with an antimicrobial layer will to shield the foam from harmful bacteria and germs. Another important consideration is the feeling of your mattress. Children typically weigh less than adults, so they require mattresses that feel firm but is also comfortable. A lot of hybrid and latex mattresses have a firm side and a softer side to meet the needs of both children. Memory foam mattresses can be a great choice for children, but they're not the first choice because they tend to trap heat and may be too harsh on young spines. Consider a hybrid or latex mattress instead, which can provide solid support and cooling infusions to keep your child or guest sleeping cool and comfortable. A mattress with a low profile is usually the best choice for kids bunk beds. They are designed to be less bulky than regular mattresses, and to maximize the safety rail height of the top bunk. They also reduce “filler” materials to provide top quality and slim designs. If your child is looking to test a mattress that's more substantial than a standard bed, consider an hybrid or innerspring model with upper comfort layers that can be removed or replaced as your child grows. These models can give you an idea of the mattress's durability as your child grows. You can also add an extra bed skirt or mattress pad to stop it from sliding. Some beds have a an integrated lip or side rails to stop this from happening. Stores Bunk beds are a great alternative to save space in rooms shared by children. Bunk beds can also be a cost-effective alternative to purchasing two full-sized single beds. A lot of bunks have the option to add a trundle, which can be tucked under the bottom bunk when not in use. To maximize space and storage in a room with bunk beds, think about installing a mix kids bedroom furniture set which includes desks, dressers and/or bookcases. This will let you store all your child's clothing as well as toys and personal belongings in one spot instead of stuffing everything into overstuffed closets or chests. These kids bedroom furniture sets are available from a variety of retailers and generally comply with all safety standards of the federal government. Stacked bunks can become an imaginative playground as kids can transform the spaces beneath into cozy hidden play areas and hideaway spaces. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked 6 bunks in this room for the ultimate kids space that can be used to sleep, play and even twirling superhero capes. The room features a bubble wallcovering by Chasing Paper and a ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to create the perfect escape. If you are unable to build an entryway to your bunk beds, a ladder is an option. They are constructed using a combination of Single Socket Tee Flange, Single Socket Tee, and 90 Degree Side Outlet Tee fittings and can be easily adjusted to alter the distance between rungs of a ladder to make it easier for toddlers to climb. The ladder rungs can also be positioned in a straight line with the ground rather than higher to facilitate climbing. Another method to maximize space in a room with bunk beds is to put up loft kids beds that can be moved down to just above the floor. This lets you move desks, dressers or toy chests beneath the beds. This is a real way to maximize space and can be a great option for smaller bedrooms, or in a huge family home where beds have to be able to accommodate a lot of people sleeping.
