Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds add drama to kids' rooms and provide the feeling of adventure. To make bunks more appealing to children, Ms. Keenan often includes a shelf to store books or a reading lamp in each sleeping space. built-in bunk beds of our bunk beds for kids can be made into two twin beds. This is ideal for those who plan to make them move to their own bedroom in the near future. Pick from finishes like brushed gray, cream white and rich walnut. Stairs and Ladders You can pick between stairs or ladders when it comes to bunk beds for children. Ladders can be installed easily and are less expensive. They also offer an easy way to climb into the top bunk bed. They are also considered safer than staircases, because they have a wider surface for children to walk on and a handrail built-in. Ladders also usually have grooves on the steps, which prevent slippage when climbing up or down the bed. If you like the design and appearance of stairs, they could be an elegant addition to your bunk bed. They can also be used in rooms that are small as they don't protrude as ladders. They can be made from wood or metal and can be matched to a wide range of bedroom designs. Some staircases are equipped with storage drawers that are an ideal way to expand the size of a bunk bed. When deciding between a ladder and stairs it is important to consider the age of your child. It is recommended that children less than 6 years old not sleep on the top bunk. Children older than 6 years old who are able to climb vertically might do better with stairs rather than using a ladder. In addition should you be planning on using your bunk bed as a guest bed for younger children or adults with limited mobility stairs are the best option. A straight staircase on the side of the bunk requires a minimum of 95” of space on each side. If you don't have enough space, you can choose a u shaped staircase which doesn't require as much room but still allows you to reach the top bunk safely and securely. Some beds allow you to detach the stairs when not in use. This reduces the size of the bed, making it more adaptable to multi-purpose spaces. You can also find stairs that connect to the end the bed. This eliminates the requirement for separate handrails and makes it easier to climb to the bottom for kids. Guard Rails Guard rails let kids climb in and out of their beds on their own and give them a sense of independence and confidence. But they must be positioned properly, making sure that there are no gaps or movement occurs between rails that guard the bed frame. If you decide to use guard rails, be sure to follow the instructions of the manufacturer and inspect them on a regular basis for any holes or looseness that could potentially lead to entrapment. One of the most important safety tips for bunk beds is to ensure they are kept away from electrical devices and other objects that could be projectiles while your children play or sleep. Position bunk beds away from windows to avoid a potential fall hazard if your children get up on the upper floor. One safety feature you might think about 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 are woken during a storm, and need to make their way out of their rooms in a safe manner. Another excellent safety feature for bunks is a safety net which can be installed at the top to prevent children from falling over 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 can't be removed without tools. The guardrail openings above the mattress base must not exceed 3.5 inches wide to prevent entrapment or strangulation. The wedge block is placed on Figure 1 in every opening in the uppermost guardrail member and above the mattress foundation. Apply 33 lbf (147 N) in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the largest edge of the block for 1 minute. It's a good idea tell your children not to hang any items on the ladder or guardrail, such as belts, clothing, and sports equipment. Instead, you should use a rack for clothes to stop these objects from becoming a strangulation risk for your child. Also, ensure that more than one child does not sleep on the top floor of the bunk, since this could create a dangerous imbalance which may result in falling. Mattresses When choosing a mattress for bunk beds, take into account the size of your child and their age. A bunk mattress should last for at least eight years or until siblings stop sharing bedrooms. You'll want to choose one that grows with your child and still offer enough comfort as they get older. Bunk mattress sizes are typically full or twin-sized, but there are plenty of options that can accommodate either. If your child suffers from allergies or asthma choose an hypoallergenic mattress with a dust-mite barrier and moisture-wicking cover. Mattresses that have an antimicrobial layer will protect the foam from harmful bacteria and germs. The feeling of your mattress is important. Children weigh less than adults, which means they require mattresses that feel firm but also comfortable. Many latex and hybrid mattresses have a firm side and a softer side to meet the needs of both children and adults. Memory foam mattresses are good for kids, but we don't recommend them because they tend not to cool properly and could be hard on the spines of small children. Think about a hybrid or latex mattress, which provides strong support and cooling infusions that allow your child or guests to rest comfortably. A mattress with a low profile is typically the best choice for kids bunk beds. They are designed to be thinner than normal mattresses, and increase the safety rail's height on the top bunk. They minimize “filler” material to offer top quality and durability with a slim design. Consider an innerspring model or hybrid with upper comfort layers which can be removed and 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 add the mattress skirt or mattress pad to stop it from sliding off the frame. Some mattresses have side rails or a lip that are built-in to stop this. Storage Bunk beds can be an excellent way to save space in shared kids rooms. They can also be a cheaper alternative to buying two separate full sized single beds. Many bunks also provide the option of a trundle bed which can be hidden beneath the bottom bunk when it is not in use. Consider putting up a kids' bedroom furniture set that includes bookshelves, desks, or dressers to maximize storage space in a room 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 closets or chests. These combination kids bedroom furniture sets are available from a number of retailers and typically meet all federal safety standards. Stacking bunks can provide a playground for imagination, as children can transform the spaces below into hidden spaces for play or cozy spaces. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked six bunks to create the ultimate children' space. It can be used to sleep, play or even for superhero cape twirling. The room is decorated with a bubble wallcovering of Chasing Paper, and the ceiling is painted Benjamin Moore Blue Jean. If you're unable to install a staircase for your bunk bed that is stacked with kids the ladder could be a simple solution. These ladders are built with a combination of Single Socket Tee Flange, Single Socket Tee, and 90 Degree Side Outlet Tee fittings. They can be easily adjusted to increase or decrease the distance between rungs of a ladder to make it easier for toddlers to climb. The rungs of the ladder are also positioned so that they are in line with the ground instead of being above it to make climbing less intimidating. Another way to maximize space in a room that has bunk beds is to put up loft kids beds which can be lowered to just above the floor. This lets you move desks, dressers or toy chests right under the beds. This is an excellent way to maximize space in small bedrooms or in large family homes where beds need to be sufficient for multiple people to sleep.
