Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds add drama to kids' rooms, and they also provide them with a sense of adventure. Ms. Keenan adds a shelf to store books, or a reading light in every sleeping nook to make bunk beds more appealing to children. A lot of our kids' beds bunks can be converted to two complete twin beds, perfect if you plan to move your children into their own bedrooms in the near future. Pick from finishes like the brushed gray, creamy white and rich walnut. Stairs or ladders If you're looking for bunk beds for kids you can choose to choose between stairs or ladders. kids bunk beds are less expensive and easy to install, and they provide an easy way to climb into the top bed. They are also considered safer than stairs, since they have a larger surface for children to walk on and a handrail built-in. Ladders also tend to have grooves in the steps which prevent slippage when climbing up or down the bed. If you prefer the design and look of stairs, then they can make an elegant addition to your bunk bed. Staircases are also great for rooms that are small in space since they don't protrude into the space as ladders do. They can be constructed of metal or wood and are able to match the wide variety of bedroom designs. Some staircases are even equipped with storage drawers, which are an excellent way to add more space to the bunk bed. When deciding between a ladder and stairs, you should also consider the age of your child. It is recommended that children younger than 6 years old not sleep on the top bunk. Older children who are able to climb vertically may prefer stairs than climbing a ladder. Additionally should you be planning on using your bunk bed as an extra bed for children or adults with limited mobility stairs are the most suitable choice. A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bed will require 95” of space on either side. If you don't have this much space, you can opt for a u-shaped staircase that doesn't need as much space but still provides a safe and secure way to access the top bunk. Some beds allow you to disconnect the stairs when they're not in use. This reduces the size of the bed and makes it more versatile for multipurpose spaces. There are stairs that connect to the end the bed. This eliminates the need for separate handrails and makes it easier to climb up and to the bottom for kids. Guard Rails Guard rails let kids climb in and out of their beds on their own and provide them with an experience of freedom and confidence. They must be placed correctly to ensure that there are no gaps or loosening between guardrails and the bed's frame. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing guard rails and be sure to check them regularly to ensure they are not loose or have holes that could result in entrapment. Keep bunk beds clear of electrical appliances and other objects that can become projectiles while your children are playing or sleeping. Make sure you place bunks away from windows, which could be a danger to fall if kids get up on the top level. You may want to install an evening light on the ladder to illuminate the ladder's climb and descent in the event that your child gets up at the night to go to the bathroom, or if they wake up due to an erupting storm and have to leave their bedroom. A safety net can be placed on top of the bunk to stop children from falling off while they're sleeping or playing. This is a great idea, particularly for older children who tend to sleep on the top bunk. The guardrails must be securely attached to the bunk beds. They cannot be removed without tools. The openings in the guardrails that are above the mattress foundation shall not be greater than 3.5 inches to prevent strangulation and entrapment. To test this, insert the wedge block as shown in Figure 1 into each of the openings on the lower edge of the highest member of the guardrail and above the mattress's underside foundation. Then apply 33-lbf (147-N) force in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the largest end of the block, and maintain it for a period of 1 minute. It is also a good idea to teach children not to hang things on the guardrails or ladder, like clothing, belts and sports equipment. Instead a rack for clothes is recommended to ensure that these items don't become a strangulation hazard for your child(ren). Be sure that not more than one child sleeps on the top bunk. This could lead to a risky imbalance and even falls. Mattresses When selecting a mattress for bunk beds, think about the size and age of your child. A bunk mattress should last for at least eight years or until siblings are no longer sharing bedrooms. You'll want to select one that will grow with your child, and still provide enough comfort as they grow older. Bunk mattresses are usually full-size or twin, and there are plenty of options that will be suitable for either. If your child suffers from allergies or asthma choose an hypoallergenic mattress that has dust mite barriers and a moisture-wicking cover. A mattress with an antimicrobial layer will protect the foam against harmful bacteria and germs. Another crucial aspect to consider is the feeling of your mattress. Children are generally heavier than adults and require an appropriate mattress that is firm, yet comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattresses have a firm side and a soft side that can accommodate both children's needs. Memory foam mattresses are a good choice for children, but we wouldn't recommend them because they tend not to cool effectively and can be hard on the spines of infant children. Think about a hybrid or latex mattress, which offers strong support and cooling infusions to your guest or child to sleep comfortably. Low-profile mattresses are usually the best option for bunk beds for children. They are designed to be smaller than regular mattresses and maximize the height of the safety rails for the top bunk. They eliminate “filler” materials to provide the highest quality and a slim design. Think about an innerspring model or a hybrid with upper comfort layers that can be removed and replaced as your child develops. These models will give you a good idea of how the mattress will hold up as your child grows and you can always add a mattress pad or bed skirt to prevent it from slipping off the frame. Some beds have side rails or lip built in to prevent this. Storage Bunk beds are an excellent option to make space in shared children's rooms. They can also be an affordable alternative to purchasing two separate single beds. A lot of bunks have the option to add a trundle which can be put under the bottom bunk when not in use. Consider installing a kids bedroom furniture combination set that includes bookshelves, desks, or dressers to maximize storage and space in a bedroom with a bunk bed. This will allow you to keep all of your child's personal items such as clothing, toys and clothes in one spot without cramming them into overstuffed chests or closets. These kids bedroom furniture sets are available from a variety of retailers and typically comply with all safety standards of the federal government. The stacking bunks provide an opportunity for creativity and children can transform the spaces below into secret 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 from Chasing Paper, and the ceiling is painted Benjamin Moore Blue Jean. If you cannot install an stairwell to your bunk beds, a ladder is an option. They are constructed with a combination Single Socket Flange, Single Socket Degree Side Outlet Fittings. They can be easily adjusted in order to increase or decrease distance between ladder rungs. The ladder rungs are also placed in a straight line with the ground rather than higher, to make climbing easier. Installing loft beds that can be lowered to just above the floor is another way to maximize the space in the bunk bedroom. This allows you to slide desks, dressers and toy chests under the elevated beds. This is a true maximize of space and can be a great solution for smaller bedrooms, or in a huge family home where the beds need to be able to accommodate many sleepers.
