Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds can add drama to kids' rooms, and they also provide them with an excitement. To make bunk beds more appealing to kids, Ms. Keenan often includes a shelf to store books or a reading lamp in each sleeping space. A lot of our kids' beds can be converted into two beds that are complete ideal if you are planning to move your children into their own bedrooms at some point. Choose from finishes like brushed gray, cream white and rich walnut. Stairs and ladders When choosing kids beds bunk there is the option to select between ladders or stairs. Ladders are less expensive and easy to install, and they provide an easy way to climb into the bed at the top. They are more secure than stairs, since they provide a greater area for children to walk on and include a handrail that is integrated. There are grooves on the steps to prevent slips when climbing up and down the bed. If you like the design and appearance of stairs they could make an elegant addition to your bunk bed. Staircases are also ideal for rooms that are tight on space, as they don't obstruct the room like ladders do. They can be constructed of wood or metal, and they can match the wide variety of bedroom designs. Some staircases even include integrated storage drawers. They are ideal for adding more space to the bunk bed. When choosing between kids double bunk bed and stairs, you should also consider the age of your child. It is recommended that children less than 6 years old should not be sleeping on the top bunk. Children older than 6 years old who are able to climb vertically could be better off with stairs than climbing a ladder. Additionally, if you're planning on using your bunk bed as a guest bed for younger children or adults with mobility issues, stairs are the preferred choice. A straight staircase that runs along the sides of the bunk requires at least 95” of space on each side. If you don't have the space, you can choose the u-shaped stairs that does not require as much room but allows you to reach the top bunk in a safe and safely. Some beds have the option of removing the stairs when not in use, which further reduces their footprint and makes them more suitable for multipurpose rooms. There are also staircases that connect to the bottom of the bed and eliminate the requirement for a separate handrail and makes it easier for children to climb up and down. Guard Rails Guard rails let kids climb in and out of their beds without assistance and provide them with the feeling of independence and confidence. They must be set in a proper way to ensure there aren't any gaps or loosening between the guardrails and the frame of the bed. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines when installing guard rails and make sure to inspect them on a regular basis to ensure they are not loose or have holes that could cause trapping. Keep bunk beds out of electrical appliances and other items that could be projectiles while your children are playing or sleeping. Position bunk beds away from windows to avoid an injury to fall risk when your children climb up on the top level. One safety feature you might think about is a night lighting for the ladder; this can help illuminate the path up and down in the event that kids awake at night to go to the bathroom or get woken by a storm and have to get out of their rooms in a safe manner. Another great security feature for bunk beds is a safety net, that can be put up on the top level to keep children from falling over while they are asleep or playing. This is a great idea, particularly for older children who tend to sleep on 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 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 opening on the lower edge of the uppermost guardrail member and above the underside of the mattress foundation. Then apply a 33-lbf (147-N) force in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the large end of the block and keep it there for 1 minute. It's also an excellent idea to instruct kids not to hang anything on the guardrails or ladder, like clothing, belts and sports equipment. Instead a clothes rack is recommended to ensure that the objects do not pose a strangulation danger for your child(ren). Also, ensure that more than one child is not sleeping on the top of the bunk, as this could cause an imbalance that could cause falling. Mattresses Take into consideration your child's age and size when choosing a mattress for bunk bed. A bunk mattress should last at the least eight years or until the children are no longer sharing bedrooms. You'll want to choose one that can grow with your child, and still provide adequate comfort as they grow older. There are a variety of bunk mattress sizes. They are typically full or twin size. If your child is suffering from asthma or allergies, choose a hypoallergenic bed with a dust-mite barrier and moisture-wicking cover. A mattress with an antimicrobial layer will protect the foam from harmful bacteria and germs. Another important consideration is the feel of your mattress. Kids generally weigh less than adults, so they require mattresses that feel firm but also comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattresses have an extra firm side as well as a soft side to meet children's requirements. Memory foam mattresses can work well for kids However, they're not our first recommendation since they can hold heat and are too harsh on young spines. Consider a hybrid or latex mattress instead, which offer strong support with cooling infusions that will ensure that your child or guest asleep cool and comfortable. A mattress with a low profile is usually the best option for kids bunk beds. These are designed to be thinner than regular mattresses and to increase the height of the safety rail for the top bunk. They also reduce “filler” materials to offer premium quality in slim designs. If your child would like to try a mattress more substantial than a standard mattress, think about an hybrid or innerspring model with comfort layers above that can be removed or replaced as your child develops. These models will give you an idea of how the mattress will hold up as your child grows and you can always put in the mattress skirt or mattress pad to keep it from sliding off the frame. Some mattresses have side rails or a lip that are built-in to stop this. Stores Bunk beds are a great option to free up space in shared kids rooms. Bunk beds can also be a cost-effective alternative to purchasing two full-sized single beds. Many bunks offer the option to add a trundle, which can be put underneath the bottom bunk when not being used. To maximize storage space and space in a room with bunk beds, you should consider creating a kids' bedroom furniture set which includes desks, dressers or bookcases. This will let you keep all of your child's personal items including toys, clothing and clothes in one spot without cramming them into overstuffed closets or chests. The sets of kids bedroom furniture can be found from a variety of retailers. They meet federal safety standards. Stacked bunks can be an ideal playground for the imagination as kids can turn the spaces underneath into cosy hidden play areas and hideaway spaces. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked 6 bunks in this room to create the ultimate kids space that can be used for playing, sleeping and even superhero cape twirls. The room is decorated with a bubble wallcovering of Chasing Paper, and the ceiling is painted Benjamin Moore Blue Jean. If you are unable to build an stairwell to your stacked bunk beds then a ladder is a simple alternative. These ladders are built with 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 ladder rungs to make it easier for children to climb. The ladder rungs can also be set directly on the ground rather than higher, to make climbing easier. Installing loft beds that can be lifted to just above the floor is another method to maximize the space of the bunk bed room. This allows you to slide desks, dressers, or toy chests underneath the elevated beds. This is a great method to maximize space in small bedrooms, or in large family homes where beds must be capable of accommodating multiple sleepers.
