Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds add drama to kids' rooms, and they also provide them with an excitement. Ms. Keenan adds a shelf to store books, or a reading light in each sleeping space to make bunk beds more appealing to children. A lot of our kids' beds bunk are convertible to two complete twin beds which is ideal if you intend to move your children to their own bedrooms at some point. Choose from finishes such as brushed white, gray and rich walnut. Stairs or Ladders If you're looking for bunk beds for kids there is the option to choose between stairs or ladders. Ladders are more affordable and simple to put in and offer an easy method of climbing into the top bunk. They are also safer than stairs, because they offer a larger area for children to walk on and include an integrated handrail. Ladders usually have grooves in the steps to prevent slips when climbing up and down the bed. If you prefer the style and appearance 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 obstruct the room like ladders do. They are typically made of wood or metal and can match a variety of bedroom styles. Some staircases even include integrated storage drawers. They are a great way to add more space to the bunk bed. Another factor to consider when deciding between stairs and a ladder is the age of your child. It is recommended that children younger than 6 years old not sleep 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. If you plan to use your bunk bed for guests, like younger children or adults with limited 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 don't have that space, you could opt for a u-shaped staircase which doesn't require as much space, but offers a secure and safe method of getting to the top bunk. Some beds come with the option of removing the stairs when they're not being used, which reduces their footprint and makes them more suited for multipurpose rooms. 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 children. kids bunk beds let children climb in and out of their beds without assistance, giving them the feeling of freedom and confidence. They must be set in a proper way to ensure there are no gaps or loosening between guardrails and the bed's frame. If you decide to use guard rails, follow the manufacturer's instructions and check them frequently for any looseness or holes that could potentially lead to an entrapment. Keep bunk beds away from electrical appliances and other things that could be projectiles while your children are playing or sleeping. Place bunk beds away from windows to prevent a potential fall hazard in the event that your children are on the top level. One safety feature you might want to consider is a night lighting for the ladder; it will 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 from their bedroom in a safe manner. A safety net could be installed at the top of the bunk to keep children from falling out when they're sleeping or playing. This is a great idea especially for older children, who tend to sleep on the top bunk. Guardrails must be firmly attached to the bunk bed structure and not removed without the use of tools. Openings in the guardrails above the mattress foundation must not be greater than 3.5 inches to prevent strangulation and entrapment. To test this, insert the wedge block in Figure 1 into each opening in the lower edge of the uppermost guardrail member and above the mattress's underside foundation. Then apply 33-lbf (147-N) force in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the large end of the block, and sustain it for 1 minute. It is also an excellent idea to instruct children not to hang things on the guardrails or ladder, like 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, ensure that more than one child does not sleep on the top of the bunk, since this can create an imbalance that could cause falling. Mattresses When choosing a mattress to use for bunk beds, consider the size and age of your child. A bunk mattress will last for at least eight years, or until siblings do not share the same bedroom and you'll need to select a mattress designed to grow with your child while still providing adequate support as they grow older. Bunk mattress sizes are typically full-size or twin, and there are a variety of options that will accommodate either. If your child suffers from allergies or asthma, opt for an allergy-free mattress with a dust mite barrier as well as an wicking cover for moisture. Kids tend to have lots of accidents and spills, which is why mattresses with an antimicrobial layer can help keep the foam safe from harmful bacteria and germs. Another factor to consider is the feeling of your mattress. Children weigh less than adults, which means they require a mattress that feels firm but also comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattress have a firm and a soft side to meet the needs of both kids and adults. Memory foam mattresses can be a great choice for children However, they're not our first recommendation since they can hold heat and are too difficult on spines of young children. Consider bunk bed for kids or hybrid mattress, which provides strong support and cooling infusions to your child or guests to sleep comfortably. Low-profile mattresses are typically the best choice for bunk beds for children. They are designed to be smaller than standard mattresses, and maximize the height of the safety rails on the top bunk. They also reduce “filler” materials to provide top quality and slim designs. If your child wants to try a mattress that's more substantial than a standard mattress, think about an hybrid or innerspring model with comfort layers on the top that can be removed or replaced as the 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 put in a mattress pad or bed skirt to stop it from sliding off the frame. Some beds have a built-in lip or side rails to stop this from happening. Stores Bunk beds are an excellent option to make space in shared rooms for children. They also can be an affordable alternative to purchasing two separate single beds. Many bunks also offer the option of adding an trundle bed that can be tucked away beneath the bottom bunk when it is not being used. To maximize storage and space in a space with bunk beds, you should consider installing a mix kids bedroom furniture set which includes desks, dressers or bookcases. This will allow you to keep all your child's personal belongings, clothing and toys in one spot without cramming them into overstuffed closets or chests. These combination kids bedroom furniture sets are available from a range of retailers and typically comply with all safety standards of the federal government. The stacking bunks provide an ideal playground for children, as children can transform the spaces below into secret hideaways or cosy play areas. 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 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 construct an stairwell to your bunk that is stacked the ladder could be an ideal solution. The ladders are constructed 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 rungs of a ladder to make it easier for children to climb. The rungs of the ladder are also placed so that they're in line with the ground instead of above it, so that climbing is less intimidating. The installation of loft beds that can be lowered to just above the floor is another way to maximize the space in a bunk bedroom. This lets you slide desks, dressers or toy chests under the elevated beds. This is a true maximization of space and it is a great choice for smaller bedrooms or in a big family home where beds have to be able to accommodate several sleepers.
