Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds can add drama to kids' rooms and provide the feeling of adventure. To make bunk beds more appealing to children Ms. Keenan often includes a shelf to store books or a reading lamp in each sleeping nook. A lot of our kids' beds bunk are convertible to two beds that are complete ideal if you are planning to have your children move to their own bedrooms at some point. Choose from finishes like the brushed gray, creamy white and rich walnut. Stairs or ladders When you are choosing a bunk bed for your kids there is the option to choose between stairs or ladders. Ladders are less expensive and simple to put in and offer a straightforward means of climbing into the bed at the top. They are also considered safer than staircases, because they have a bigger surface for children to walk on and a built-in handrail. Ladders also tend to have grooves on the steps, which help prevent slippage when climbing up or down the bed. If kids bunk bed prefer the style and look 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 protrude into the space like ladders do. They can be made from wood or metal and are able to match an array of bedroom styles. Some staircases come with storage drawers which can be an excellent way to expand the space of bunk beds. When choosing between a staircase and a ladder take into account the age of your child. While it is recommended that nobody sleep on the top bunk under the age of 6, children who are comfortable with climbing vertically might be better off using stairs than a ladder. Additionally, if you're planning on using your bunk bed as guest beds for smaller children or for adults with a mobility issues stairs are the most suitable choice. A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bunk requires at least 95” of space on each side. If you don't have this much space, you could opt for a u-shaped staircase that doesn't require as much space, but provides a safe and secure way to access the top bunk. Certain beds let you remove the stairs when they are not in use. This reduces the size of the bed, making it more suited to multi-purpose spaces. There are also staircases that connect to the bottom of the bed, which eliminates the requirement for a separate handrail and makes it easier for children to climb up and down. Guard Rails Guard rails allow kids to climb in and out of their beds without assistance and give them a sense of independence and confidence. They must be placed correctly to ensure there aren't any gaps or loosening between the guardrails and the bed's frame. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines 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 result in trapping. Keep bunk beds clear of electrical appliances and other items that could be projectiles while your children are playing or sleeping. Position bunk beds away from windows to prevent the risk of falling if your children get up on the top level. A safety feature you may want to consider is a night light for the ladder; it can help illuminate the path up and down in the event that kids awake at night and need to go to the bathroom or are woken during a storm and need to get from their bedroom safely. Another excellent safety feature for bunks is a safety net which can be installed on the top level to keep children from falling over while asleep or playing. This is especially a good idea for older kids, who are more likely to sleep in 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 shall not be greater than 3.5 inches to prevent entrapment and strangulation. To test this, insert the wedge block shown in Figure 1 into each of the openings on the lower edge of the highest guardrail member and above the mattress's underside foundation. Apply an amount of 33 lbf (147 N) in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the larger edge of the block for one minute. It is a good idea to inform your children to not hang anything on the guardrail or ladder for example, belts, clothing, and sports equipment. Instead you should make use of a clothes rack to prevent these objects from becoming a strangulation hazard for your child. Be sure that no more than one child sleeps on the top bunk. This can lead to a dangerous imbalance and falls. Mattresses Take into consideration your child's age and size when selecting a mattress to fit a bunk beds. A bunk mattress should last for at least eight years or until siblings are no longer sharing a bedroom and you'll need to choose a mattress that is designed to adapt to the needs of your child, while providing adequate support as they grow older.

If your child has asthma or allergies, opt for an hypoallergenic mattress with an anti-dust barrier and a moisture-wicking cover. Kids tend to have many accidents and spills, so mattresses with an antimicrobial layer will to shield the foam from harmful bacteria and germs. The feeling of your mattress is also crucial. Kids are usually lighter than adults and need mattresses that are firm but also comfortable. A lot of hybrid and latex mattresses come with an extra firm side as well as a soft side to accommodate both children's needs. Memory foam mattresses are great for kids but we don't recommend them because they tend not to cool properly and could be hard on the spines of young children. You should consider a hybrid or a latex mattress instead, which will provide strong support with cooling infusions to ensure your child or guest is sleeping cool and comfortable. Low-profile mattresses are typically the best option for bunk beds for children. These are designed to be smaller than regular mattresses and to increase the height of the safety rails for the top bunk. They also minimize “filler” materials to offer top quality and slim designs. If your child is looking to test a mattress that's more substantial than a standard bed, consider an hybrid or innerspring mattress with comfort layers on the top that can be removed or replaced as the child develops. These models will give you an idea of the mattress's durability as your child grows. You can also put in a mattress skirt or bed pad to stop it from sliding. Some beds have side rails or lip built in to prevent this. Stores Bunk beds are a great option to make space in rooms shared by children. kids bunk bed can also be a cheaper alternative to buying two separate full sized single beds. A lot of bunks have the option to add a trundle that can be put under the bottom bunk when not in use.

The ladder rungs are also placed directly on the ground instead of above to facilitate climbing. Installing loft beds that can be lowered to just above the floor is another way to maximize the space of a bunk bed room. This lets you slide desks, dressers and toy chests directly beneath the beds. This is an effective maximize of space and can be a great option for smaller bedrooms, or in a big family home where beds have to be able to accommodate many people sleeping.
