Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds can bring excitement and drama to a child's space. To make bunks more appealing to kids Ms. Keenan often includes a ledge to hold books or an reading lamp in each sleeping space. Many of our bunk beds for kids can be transformed into two twin beds. This is ideal for those who plan to move them into their own bedroom in the future. Choose from finishes like the brushed gray, creamy white and rich walnut. Stairs and Ladders If you're looking for bunk beds for kids there is the option to choose between stairs or ladders. Ladders are cheaper and easy to install and offer a straightforward means of climbing into the bed at the top. They are more secure than stairs, because they offer a larger area for children to walk on, and also have an integrated handrail. Ladders also usually have grooves in the steps which prevent slippage when climbing up or down the bed. If you like the design and appearance of stairs, they could be an elegant addition to your bunk bed. Staircases can also be used in rooms with limited space since they don't protrude as ladders. They can be constructed from metal or wood and are able to match an array of bedroom styles. Some staircases are equipped with storage drawers that are an excellent way to expand the space of bunk beds. When choosing between a ladder and stairs take into account the age of your child. While it is recommended nobody sleep on the top bunk below the age of 6, children who are comfortable with vertical climbing may be better off with stairs than a ladder. If you are planning to use your bunk bed for guests, like young children or adults with limited mobility, it is best to use stairs. A straight staircase on the side of the bed requires 95” of space on either side. If you don't have enough space, you can choose the u-shaped stairs that doesn't require as much space however it still allows you to get access to the top bunk safely and safely. Certain beds let you detach the stairs when not being used. This reduces the size of the bed, making it more adaptable to multi-purpose spaces. 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 children the confidence and independence to climb into and out of bed on their own. However, they must be placed properly, ensuring that there aren't any gaps or sagging occurs between the rails of the guard and bed frame. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines when installing guard rails, and make sure to examine them regularly to ensure that they aren't loose or have holes that could lead to the entrapment. Keep bunk beds clear of electrical appliances and other items that could be projectiles while your children are playing or sleeping. Place bunk beds away from windows to prevent an injury to fall risk when your children climb up on the upper level. One safety feature you might want to consider is a night light for the ladder. it can aid in illuminating the path and down in case children awake at night and need to go to the bathroom or are woken by a storm and have to make their way out of their rooms in a safe manner. A safety net could be installed at the top of the bunk to prevent children from falling out when they are sleeping or playing. This is a great idea, especially for older children, who are more likely to sleep on the top bunk. Guardrails should be secured to the bunk bed structure and are not removable without the use of tools. Openings in the guardrails above the mattress foundation must not be larger than 3.5 inches to avoid strangulation and entrapment. The wedge block is placed on Figure 1 in each opening of the uppermost guardrail member and above the mattress foundation. Then apply 33-lbf (147-N) force in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the larger end of the block and maintain it for a period of 1 minute. It's also recommended to teach youngsters not to hang things on the ladders or guardrails for example, such as clothing, belts and sports equipment. Instead a clothes rack should be used to ensure that these items aren't a strangulation risk for your child(ren). Also, make sure that more than one kid should not sleep on the top of the bunk, as this could cause a dangerous imbalance which may result in falls. Mattresses When choosing a mattress for bunk beds, consider your child's size and age. A bunk mattress will last for at least eight years or until siblings do not share the same bedroom, so you'll want to choose a mattress that is designed to grow with your child and still provide adequate support as they get older. Bunk mattress sizes are typically full-size or twin, and there are plenty of options that can accommodate either. If kids bunk beds suffer from allergies or asthma you should choose an allergy-free mattress with dust mite barriers and a moisture-wicking cover. Mattresses with an antimicrobial layer will protect the foam from harmful bacteria and germs. The feel of your mattress is also crucial. Children are typically lighter than adults and need mattresses that are firm but also comfortable. A lot of hybrid and latex mattresses have an extra firm side as well as a soft side that can accommodate both children's requirements. Memory foam mattresses work well for kids however they're not the first choice because they tend to retain heat and could be too hard on young spines. Think about a hybrid or a latex mattress instead, which offer solid support with cooling infusions to ensure that your child or guest sleeping cool and comfortable. Low-profile mattresses are typically the best choice for bunk beds for children. These mattresses are designed to be smaller than normal mattresses, and to maximize the safety rail's height on the top bunk. They eliminate “filler” materials to provide top quality and durability with slim designs. If your child would like to try a mattress that's thicker than a regular mattress, think about an hybrid or innerspring mattress with comfort layers above that can be removed or replaced as the child develops. These models will give you an idea of the longevity of the mattress as your child grows. You can also put in a bed skirt or mattress pad to stop it from sliding. Some beds come with a an integrated lip or side rails to prevent this from happening. Stores Bunk beds can be the ideal way to save space in shared kids rooms. Bunk beds are also a less expensive alternative to purchasing two full-sized single beds. Many bunks also offer the option of a trundle bed which can be hidden beneath the bottom bunk when it is not in use. You might want to consider installing a bedroom for your child furniture set that has bookshelves, desks, or dressers to maximize storage space in a room that has bunk beds. This will allow you to keep all of your child's clothes as well as toys and personal belongings in one place instead of cramming everything into chests or closets that are overstuffed. These kids bedroom furniture sets are available from a number of retailers and generally comply with all safety standards of the federal government. Stacked bunks can be an imaginative playground as kids can turn the spaces underneath into cosy places to hide and play. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked six bunks to create the ultimate kids' space. It can be used for sleeping, playing 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 cannot install an stairwell to your stacked bunk beds, a ladder is an option. These ladders are built 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 ladder rungs to make it easier for little ones to climb. The ladder's rungs are also set in a way that they are flush with the ground instead of above it, to make climbing less daunting. Loft beds that can be lowered to just above the ground is another way to maximize the space in the bunk bed room. This allows you slide desks, dressers, or toy chests under the elevated beds. This is a great way to maximize space in bedrooms that are small or in large family homes where beds must be capable of accommodating multiple sleepers.
