Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds can add excitement and drama to a child's room. To make bunks more appealing to kids Ms. Keenan often includes a shelf to store books or a reading lamp in every sleeping space. A lot of our bunk beds for kids can be made into two twin beds. This is ideal when you plan to make them move to their own bedroom in the near future. Choose from finishes like white, brushed gray and rich walnut. Stairs and ladders When choosing kids beds bunk, you have the option to select between ladders or stairs. kids bunk beds can be installed easily and are less expensive. They also offer an easy way to climb into the top bunk bed. They are also considered safer than staircases, as they have a bigger surface for children to walk on and have a built-in handrail. Ladders also usually have grooves on the steps which can prevent slippage while climbing up or down the bed. If you prefer the design and look of stairs, they could make an elegant addition to your bunk bed. Staircases are also suitable for rooms that are small in space since they don't protrude into the room as ladders do. They can be constructed of wood or metal and can be matched to an array of bedroom styles. Some staircases even include integrated storage drawers. They are ideal for adding more space to the bunk bed. When choosing between a ladder or stairs, you should also consider the age of your child. It is recommended that no one sleep on the top bunk before the age of 6, older children who are comfortable with vertical climbing might be better off using stairs rather than a ladder. If you plan to use your bunk bed to accommodate 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 either side. If you do not have the space, you can opt for a u shaped staircase which doesn't require as much space, but still allows you to reach the top bunk in a safe and safely. Some beds have the option of removing the stairs when they're not in use, which reduces their footprint and makes them more suited for rooms with multiple uses. There are stairs that connect to the bottom of 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 allow kids to climb in and out of their beds on their own and give them the feeling of independence and confidence. However, they must be set correctly, ensuring that no gaps or sagging occurs between the guard rails and the bed frame. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing guard rails and ensure that you inspect them on a regular basis to ensure that they're not loose or have holes that could lead to trapping. One of the most important safety tips for bunk beds is to keep them free from electrical devices and other objects that could turn into projectiles if your children play or sleep. Set bunk beds far from windows to avoid a potential fall hazard in the event that your children are on the top level. You might want to put a nightlight on the ladder to illuminate the way up and down in the event that your child gets up at night to use the bathroom, or wake up due to an erupting storm and have to leave their room. A safety net could be placed on the top of the bunk to keep children from falling out when they're sleeping or playing. This is especially a good idea for older children, who may be more likely to sleep on the top bunk. Guardrails should be secured to the bunk bed structure and are not removed without the use of tools. The guardrail openings that are above the mattress base should not be larger than 3.5 inches wide to prevent strangulation or entrapment. To test this, place the wedge block in Figure 1 into each opening on the lower edge of the uppermost member of the guardrail and above the underside of the mattress foundation. Apply a force of 33 lbf (147 N) in a direction perpendicular the plane of the large edge of the block for 1 minute. It is a good idea to tell your children not to hang anything on the ladder or guardrail, such as clothing, belts, and sporting equipment. Instead, you should use a clothes rack to prevent these items from becoming a strangulation hazard for your child. Be sure that not more than one child can sleep on the top bunk. This could result in a dangerous imbalance and falls. Mattresses Be aware of 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 stop sharing bedrooms. You'll want to select one that will grow with your child, but still offer enough comfort as they grow older. There are a myriad of options for bunk mattress sizes. They are typically twin or full size. If your kiddos suffer from asthma or allergies choose an hypoallergenic mattress that has a dust mite barrier and a cover that wicks moisture. Kids are likely to experience lots of accidents and spills, which is why mattresses with an antimicrobial layer will help to shield the foam from harmful bacteria and germs. The feeling of your mattress is crucial. Kids generally weigh less than adults, which means they need an item that is firm but also comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattresses come with a firm side and a soft side that can accommodate both children's requirements. Memory foam mattresses are a good choice for kids, but we don't recommend them due to their tendency not to cool effectively and can be hard on the spines of infant children. You should consider a hybrid or a latex mattress instead, which can provide strong support with 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. These are designed to be thinner than regular mattresses and maximize safety rail height for the top bunk. They also minimize “filler” materials to provide the highest quality in a slim design. If your child is looking to try a mattress more substantial than a standard bed, consider an innerspring or hybrid model with comfort layers above that can be removed or replaced as your child develops. These models will give you a clear idea of how the mattress will hold up as your child grows and you can always add an extra mattress skirt or mattress pad to prevent it from sliding off the frame. Some beds even have an integrated lip or side rails to stop this from happening. Storage Bunk beds are the ideal option to free up space in shared rooms for kids. Bunk beds can also be a cost-effective alternative to buying two full-sized single beds. Some bunks offer the option of an trundle bed that can be hidden beneath the bunk that is not in use. To maximize storage and space in a room that has bunk beds, you should consider installing a combination kids bedroom furniture set that includes desks, dressers and/or bookcases. This will allow you to keep all of your child's personal belongings including toys, clothing and clothes in one location without having to cram them into overstuffed chests or closets. The sets of kids bedroom furniture are available at a variety of retailers. They meet federal safety standards. Stacking bunks can be a playground for imagination as kids can transform the spaces below into hidden hideaways or cosy play areas. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked six bunks to create the ultimate children space. It can be used as a place for playing, sleeping or even for superhero cape twirling. The room features the bubble wallcovering of Chasing Paper and a ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to create the ultimate escape. If you are unable to build stairs for your stacked kids bunk A ladder is an easy solution. These ladders are built with a combination of Single Socket Tee, Flange and 90 Degree Side Outlet Tee fittings. They can be easily adjusted to alter the distance between rungs of a ladder to make it easier for toddlers to climb. The ladder's rungs are also set in a way that they are in line with the ground instead of being above it to make climbing less daunting. The installation of loft beds that can be lowered to just above the floor is another way to maximize the space of a bunk bedroom. This lets you slide dressers, desks, or toy chests under the elevated beds. This is a great method to maximize the space in smaller bedrooms or large family homes where beds have to be sufficient for multiple people to sleep.
