Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds provide drama to children's rooms, and they also provide them with an excitement. Ms. Keenan adds a shelf to store books, or a reading light in each sleeping space to make bunk beds more attractive to children. Many of our kids beds can be converted into two twin beds in one which is ideal if you intend to have your children move to their own bedrooms at some point. Pick from finishes like white, brushed gray and rich walnut. Ladders and Stairs You can pick between ladders or stairs when you are choosing bunk beds for kids. Ladders are cheaper and easy to set up and offer an easy way to climb into the bed at the top. They are also more secure than stairs since they provide a greater area for children to walk on and include a handrail that is integrated. Ladders usually have grooves in the steps to prevent slipping when climbing up and down the bed. However, if you prefer the look and design of stairs, they could be a more elegant addition to your bunk bed. Staircases can also be utilized in rooms with limited space as they aren't as imposing as ladders. They are often made of metal or wood and can complement a variety of bedroom styles. Some staircases have integrated storage drawers that can be a great way to increase the space of a bunk bed. When choosing between a ladder and stairs, you should also consider the age of your child. It is recommended that children less than six years old do not sleep on the top bunk. Children older than 6 years old who are able to climb vertically may be better off with stairs than a ladder. If you intend to use your bunk bed for guests, like younger children or adults with limitations in mobility, it's best to use stairs. A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bed will require 95” of space on each side. If you don't have this much space, you can choose a u-shaped staircase which doesn't require as much space but still provides a safe and secure way to access the top bunk. Some beds come with the option of detaching the stairs when not being used, which reduces their footprint and makes them more suitable for rooms with multiple uses. You can also find stairs that connect to the end of the bed and eliminate the need 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. But they must be positioned properly, making sure that there are no gaps or sagging occurs between the guard rails and the bed frame. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer when installing guard rails, and be sure to check them regularly to ensure that they aren't loose or have holes that could lead to trapping. One of the most important safety tips for bunk beds is to keep them away from electrical devices and any other objects that could turn into projectiles if your children play or sleep. Also be sure to position bunks away from windows, which could pose a fall risk when children climb up to the top of the bed. You may want to install a nightlight on the ladder to illuminate the way up and down in the event that your child gets up at the night to go to the bathroom, or if they wake up due to the sound of a storm and are forced to leave their bedroom. Another excellent security feature for bunk beds is a safety net, which can be placed at the top to stop children from falling off while they are asleep or playing. This is especially a good idea for older children who are more likely to sleep in the top bunk. The guardrails must be secured to the bunk beds and can't be removed without tools. Openings in the guardrails above the mattress foundation must not be more than 3.5 inches to prevent entrapment and strangulation. Place the wedge block shown in Figure 1 in each of the openings in the topmost guardrail member and above the mattress foundation. Apply a force of 33 lbf (147 N) in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the large edge of the block for one minute. It is a good idea to tell your children not to hang anything on the guardrail or ladder, such as belts, clothes, or sporting equipment. Instead you should make use of an organized rack to keep the objects from creating an injury to your child. Also, ensure that more than one kid is not sleeping on the top of the bunk, since this can create a dangerous imbalance which may result in falls. Mattresses When choosing a mattress to use for bunk beds, think about the size of your child and their age. A bunk mattress will last for at least eight years or until siblings do not share a bedroom, so you'll want to pick one that's designed to expand with your child while still providing adequate support as they grow older. There are a myriad of options for bunk mattress sizes. They are typically full or twin size. If your child suffers from allergies or asthma, opt for a hypoallergenic mattress with dust mite barriers and a cover that wicks moisture. Children are prone to lots of accidents and spills, which is why a mattress with an antimicrobial layer will keep the foam safe from harmful bacteria and germs. Another factor to consider is the mattress's feel. Kids are usually heavier than adults, and require mattresses that are firm but also comfortable. Many latex and hybrid mattresses have a firm side and a soft side to meet the needs of both children. Memory foam mattresses are good for children, but we wouldn't recommend them due to their tendency not to cool well and can be hard on the spines of infant children. Think about a hybrid or latex mattress, which offers strong support and cooling infusions for your child or guests to rest comfortably. Low-profile mattresses are often the best option for bunk beds for children. They are designed to be smaller than normal mattresses, and maximize the safety rail height of the top bunk. They eliminate “filler” material to provide premium quality with a slim design. Think about an innerspring model or a hybrid with upper comfort layers which can be removed and replaced as your child grows. These models will provide an idea of the durability of the mattress as your child grows. You can also include an extra bed skirt or mattress pad to prevent it from sliding. Some mattresses have side rails or a lip built-in to prevent this. Stores Bunk beds can be a great way to save space in shared kids rooms. They also can be a cheaper alternative to buying two separate, full-sized single beds. Some bunks offer the option of an trundle bed that can be hidden under the bunk that is not being used. You might want to consider installing a bedroom for your child furniture combination set that includes desks, bookcases, and/or dressers to maximize storage and space in a room that has bunk beds. This will let you store all of your child's clothes as well as toys and personal belongings in one location instead of cramming everything into chests or closets that are overstuffed. These sets of bedroom furniture can be found from a variety of retailers. They are safe to use and meet federal standards. Stacking bunks can be a playground for imagination, as children can transform the spaces below into secret spaces for play or cozy spaces. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked six bunks to create the ultimate kids' space. It can be used for playing, sleeping or even for twirling superhero capes. The room features a bubble wallcovering by Chasing Paper and a ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to create the ultimate getaway. If you are unable to install stairs for your bunk bed that is stacked with kids, a ladder can be an easy solution. bunk bed for kids are constructed 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 set so that they are flush with the ground instead of above it, so that climbing is less intimidating. Another method to maximize space in a room that has bunk beds is to put up loft beds for kids that can be moved down to just above the floor. This lets you slide desks, dressers, or toy chests under the elevated beds. This is a true maximization of space and it can be a great solution for smaller bedrooms, or in a big family home where beds have to be able to accommodate many people sleeping.
