Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds can add drama to kids' rooms, and they also provide them with an excitement. To make bunks more appealing to children Ms. Keenan often includes a ledge to hold books or a reading lamp in every sleeping space. A lot of our kids' beds bunk are convertible to two twin beds in one which is ideal if you intend to let your children move to their own bedrooms in the near future. Pick from finishes like brushed gray, cream white and rich walnut. Stairs and ladders You can choose between stairs and ladders when it comes to bunk beds for kids. Ladders are easy to install and are also less expensive. They also provide an easy way to climb into the top bunk bed. They are also considered to be 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 a more elegant addition for your bunk bed. Staircases can also be utilized in rooms with limited space since they aren't as imposing as ladders. They can be made from metal or wood and can be matched to the wide variety of bedroom designs. Some staircases even include integrated storage drawers. These are a great way to add more space to the bunk bed. Another thing to consider when deciding between stairs or a ladder is the age of your child. While it is recommended that no one sleep on the top bunk before the age of 6, children who are comfortable with climbing vertically may be better off with stairs than a ladder. If you plan to use your bunk bed to accommodate guests, such as young children or adults with limited mobility, it is best to choose stairs. A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bunk requires a minimum of 95” of space on each side. If you do not have enough space, you can opt for a u shaped staircase which doesn't require as much space but still allows you to get access to the top bunk safely and securely. Certain beds let you disconnect the stairs when they're not being used. This reduces the footprint of the bed and makes it more adaptable to multi-purpose spaces. There are stairs that connect to the top of the bed. This eliminates the need for separate handrails and makes it easier to climb up and down to the bottom for children. Guard Rails Guard rails provide children with the confidence and independence to climb into and out of beds on their own. They must be set in a proper way to ensure that there aren't any gaps or loosening between guardrails and the bed's frame. If you decide to use guard rails, be sure to follow the instructions of the manufacturer and inspect them frequently for any looseness or holes that could potentially lead to the entrapment. One of the most important safety concerns for bunk beds is to ensure they are kept away from electrical devices and other objects that could be projectiles if your children play or sleep. Position bunk beds away from windows to prevent a potential fall hazard when your children climb up on the upper floor. You might want to put an evening light on the ladder to illuminate the way up and down if your child wakes at night to use the bathroom, or wake up due to a storm to leave their room. Another excellent security feature for bunk beds is a safety net, which can be installed on the top level to keep children from falling over while they are asleep or playing. This is a great idea for older kids, who are more likely to sleep in the top bunk. The guardrails should be secured to the bunk beds. They cannot be removed without tools. The openings in the guardrail above the mattress base should not be more than 3.5 inches wide to avoid strangulation or entrapment. To test this, insert the wedge block in Figure 1 into each of the openings on the lower edge of the topmost guardrail member and above the underside of the mattress foundation. Apply an amount of 33 lbf (147 N) in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the largest edge of the block for one minute. It is also an excellent idea to instruct kids not to hang anything on the guardrails or ladder such as belts, clothing and sports equipment. Instead a rack for clothes is recommended to ensure that the objects don't become a strangulation hazard for your child(ren). Be sure that no more than one child sleeps on the top bunk. This could lead to an unsafe imbalance and fall. Mattresses Consider the age and size of your child when selecting a mattress to fit a bunk bed. A bunk mattress should last for at least eight years, or until siblings do not share the same bedroom and you'll need to pick one that's designed to expand with your child while still providing sufficient support as they grow older. There are a variety of bunk mattress sizes. They are typically full or twin size. If your kiddos suffer from asthma or allergies choose an hypoallergenic mattress that has a dust mite barrier as well as an wicking cover for moisture. A mattress with an antimicrobial coating will protect the foam from harmful bacteria and germs. Another factor to consider is the feel of your mattress. Kids are usually lighter than adults and need mattresses that are firm but also comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattresses have a firm side and a soft side to accommodate both children's requirements. Memory foam mattresses can be great for children however they're not the first choice as they can trap heat and may be too hard on young spines. Consider a latex or hybrid mattress, which offers strong support and cooling infusions for your guest or child to sleep comfortably. Low-profile mattresses are often the ideal choice for bunk beds for children. Bunk Beds Store are designed to be thinner than regular mattresses and maximize safety rail height for the top bunk. They minimize “filler” material to offer top quality and durability with slim designs. Consider an innerspring model or a hybrid with upper comfort layers which can be removed and 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 a mattress pad or bed skirt to stop it from slipping off the frame. Some beds have side rails or lip built-in to prevent this. Stores Bunk beds can be the ideal way to make space in shared rooms for kids. Bunk beds can also be a cost-effective alternative to purchasing two large single beds. Many bunks allow to add a trundle that can be placed under the bottom bunk when not in use. To maximize space and storage in a space with bunk beds, you should consider creating a kids' bedroom furniture set which includes desks, dressers or bookcases. This will let you store all of your child's clothes, toys and personal items in one place instead of cramming everything into overstuffed chests or closets. These sets of kids bedroom furniture can be found at a variety of retailers. They meet federal safety standards. The stacking bunks provide a playground for imagination and children can transform the spaces below into secret hideaways or cosy play areas. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked 6 bunks in this room for the ultimate kids space that can be used for sleeping, playing and even twirling superhero capes. The room is decorated with a bubble wallcovering from Chasing Paper, and the ceiling is painted Benjamin Moore Blue Jean. If you cannot install a staircase to your stacked bunk beds A ladder is a simple alternative. They are constructed with a combination Single Socket, Flange, and 90 Degree Side Outlet Fittings. They can be easily adjusted to increase or decrease distance between the ladder rungs. The rungs of the ladder are also placed so that they are flush with the ground instead of being above it to make climbing less intimidating. Installing loft beds that can be lifted to just above the floor is another way to maximize the space of a bunk bedroom. This allows you to slide dressers, desks, or toy chests beneath the beds that are elevated. This is a great method to maximize space in small bedrooms or large family homes where beds need to be sufficient for multiple people to sleep.
