Kids Beds Bunk

Bunk beds can add drama and adventure to a child's bedroom. Ms. Keenan adds a shelf for books, or a reading light in each sleeping nook to make bunk beds more attractive to children.

Many of our kids beds can be converted into two complete twin beds ideal if you are planning to let your children move to their own bedrooms in the near future. Choose from finishes such as brushed gray, cream white and rich walnut.

Stairs and ladders

When choosing kids beds bunk you can choose to choose between ladders or stairs. Ladders can be easily installed and are also less expensive. They also offer an easy way to get into the top bunk bed. They are also considered safer than stairs, since they have a wider surface for children to step on and a built-in handrail. Ladders usually have grooves in the steps to prevent slipping when climbing up and down the bed.

If you prefer the design and look of stairs, they could make a more elegant addition for your bunk bed. Staircases are also suitable for rooms that are tight in space since they don't obstruct the space like ladders do. They are typically made of wood or metal and can be a great match for various styles of bedrooms. Some staircases have integrated storage drawers. They are ideal for adding more space to the bunk bed.

When deciding between a staircase and a ladder take into account the age of your child. It is recommended that children younger than 6 years old should not be sleeping on the top bunk. Older children who can climb vertically could do better with stairs rather than a ladder. If you intend to use your bunk beds for kids bed to accommodate guests, for example, young children or adults with limitations in mobility, it's best to choose stairs.

A straight staircase on the opposite side of the bed requires 95" of space on each side. If you don't have this much room, you can choose a u-shaped staircase which doesn't require as much space but still offers a secure and safe way to access the top bunk. Certain beds let you detach the stairs when not being used. This reduces the footprint of the bed, making it more versatile for multipurpose spaces. There are stairs that connect to the end the bed. This eliminates the requirement for separate handrails and makes it easier to climb up and to the bottom for kids.

Guard Rails

Guard rails give kids the confidence and independence to climb into and out of beds on their own. They must be set in a proper way to ensure there are no gaps or loosening in between the guardrails and the frame of the bed. If you choose to use guard rails, make sure you follow the instructions of the manufacturer and inspect them frequently for any holes or looseness that could lead to the entrapment.

One of the most important safety considerations for bunk beds is to keep them free from electrical devices as well as other items that could become projectiles while your children play or sleep. Make sure you place bunks away from windows, as they could cause a risk of falling in the event that children climb on the top level.

One safety feature you might think about is a night light for the ladder. it will help illuminate the path up and down in case 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 in a safe manner.

A safety net could be installed at the top of the bunk to prevent children from falling out while they're sleeping or playing. This is a great idea, especially for older children, who tend to sleep on the top bunk.

The guardrails must be securely attached to the bunk beds and can't be removed without tools. The guardrail openings above the mattress foundation should not be larger than 3.5 inches wide to prevent entrapment or strangulation. Place the wedge block as shown in Figure 1 in each of the openings in the topmost guardrail member and over the mattress foundation. Apply 33 lbf (147 N) in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the larger edge of the block for one minute.

It's a good idea to inform your children to not hang any objects on the guardrail or ladder for example, belts, clothes, or sporting equipment. Instead you should utilize a clothes rack to prevent the objects from creating a strangulation risk for your child. Make sure that no more than one child is sleeping on the top bunk. This can lead to a dangerous imbalance and falls.

Mattresses

When selecting a mattress for bunk beds, take into account the size of your child and their age. A bunk mattress should last at the least eight years or until the children are no longer sharing the same bedroom. You'll want to select one that grows with your child, and still provide adequate comfort as they age.

There are many options for bunk mattress sizes. They are usually twin or full size. If your child suffers from asthma or allergies, opt for an allergy-free mattress with a dust mite barrier and a moisture-wicking cover. Kids are likely to experience many spills and accidents, so mattresses with an antimicrobial layer can help protect the foam from harmful bacteria and germs.

The comfort of your mattress is important. Kids generally weigh less than adults, so they require mattresses that feel firm but also comfortable. Many latex and hybrid mattresses have a firm side and a soft side to accommodate the needs of both children.

Memory foam mattresses are great for kids but we don't recommend them because they tend 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 can provide solid support and cooling infusions that will ensure your child or guest is sleeping cool and comfortable.

Low-profile mattresses are often the best option for bunk beds for children. They are designed to be thinner than regular mattresses, and increase the safety rail's height on the top bunk. They eliminate "filler" material to provide the highest quality and slim designs.

Think about an innerspring model or hybrid with upper comfort layers that can be removed and replaced as your child grows. These models will give you an idea of how the mattress will perform as your child grows and you can always add an extra mattress pad or bed skirt to keep it from slipping off the frame. Some beds have a built-in lip or side rails to prevent this from happening.

Storage

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.

If you're unable to construct an stairwell to your stacked bunk beds, a ladder is a simple alternative. The ladders are constructed with a combination of Single Socket Tee, Flange 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 children to climb.
