Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds add drama to kids' rooms, and they also provide them with a sense of adventure. To make bunks more appealing to kids, Ms. Keenan often includes a shelf to store books or a reading lamp in each sleeping nook. Many of our kids beds bunk are convertible to two twin beds in one, perfect if you plan to move your children into their own bedrooms in the near future. Choose from finishes like white, brushed gray and rich walnut. Ladders and Stairs When choosing kids beds bunk there is the option to pick between ladders or stairs. Ladders can be easily installed and are also less expensive. They also provide an easy way to get into the top bunk bed. They are also safer than stairs, as they provide a wider surface area for children to walk on and have a handrail that is integrated. Ladders usually have grooves in the steps to prevent slipping when climbing up and down the bed. If you prefer the look and design of stairs, they may be a more elegant addition to your bunk bed. They can also be used in rooms that are small as they don't protrude as ladders. They are typically made of wood or metal and can complement the various styles of bedrooms. Some staircases are even equipped with storage drawers. These are an excellent 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 no one sleep on the top bunk under the age of 6, older children who are comfortable with vertical climbing may be better off with stairs rather than a ladder. Additionally when you're thinking of using your bunk bed as a guest bed for younger children or adults who have limited mobility, stairs are the preferred option. A straight staircase on the side of the bed will require 95” of space each side. If you don't have the space, you can choose a u shaped staircase which doesn't require as much room but still allows you to reach the top bunk in a safe and securely. Certain beds let you disconnect the stairs when they're not in use. This reduces the footprint of the bed and makes it more versatile for multipurpose spaces. You can also find staircases that connect to the bottom 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 let kids climb into and out of their beds without assistance and provide them with the feeling of independence and security. They must be set in a proper way to ensure that there are no gaps or loosening between the guardrails and the bed frame. If you choose to use guard rails, follow the instructions of the manufacturer and inspect them on a regular basis for any looseness or holes which could cause an entrapment. Keep bunk beds clear of electrical appliances and other items that can become projectiles while your children are playing or sleeping. Be sure to place bunks away from windows, which could cause a risk of falling when children climb up to the top level. It is possible to install a nightlight on the ladder so that it can illuminate the steps up and down in the event that your child gets up at night to use the bathroom, or wake up due to the sound of a storm and are forced to leave their bedroom. Another excellent security feature for bunk beds is a safety net, which can be placed at the top to keep children from falling down while asleep or playing. This is a great idea particularly for older children who are more likely to sleep on the top bunk. The guardrails should be secured to the bunk beds and can't be removed without tools. The openings in the guardrails that are above the mattress foundation should not be more than 3.5 inches to avoid strangulation and entrapment. To test this, place the wedge block shown in Figure 1 into each of the openings on the lower edge of the topmost member of the guardrail and above the mattress's underside foundation. Apply 33 lbf (147 N) in a direction perpendicular the plane of the large edge of the block for a minute. It is a good idea to tell your children not to hang any objects on the guardrail or ladder, such as belts, clothing, and sporting equipment. Instead you should utilize an organized rack to keep these objects from becoming a strangulation risk for your child. Be sure that not more than one child sleeps on the top bunk. This can lead to an unsafe imbalance and fall. Mattresses When choosing a mattress for bunk beds, take into account the size and age of your child. A bunk mattress should last for at least eight years or until siblings stop sharing bedrooms. You'll want to select one that can grow with your child, but still offer enough comfort as they get older. There are many options for bunk mattress sizes. They are typically full or twin size. If your kiddos suffer from allergies or asthma, opt for an hypoallergenic mattress that has dust mite barriers and a moisture-wicking cover. Kids tend to have a lot of accidents and spills, which is why a mattress that has an antimicrobial layer can help protect the foam from harmful bacteria and germs. bunk bed for kids of your mattress is important. Kids generally weigh less than adults, so they require an item that is firm but also comfortable. A lot of hybrid and latex mattresses have an extra firm side as well as a soft side to accommodate both children's requirements. Memory foam mattresses can work well for kids However, they're not our first recommendation as they can trap heat and may be too difficult on spines of young children. Think about a hybrid or a latex mattress instead, which will provide solid support and cooling infusions that will keep your child or guest resting cool and comfortable. A low-profile mattress is often the best choice for children's bunk beds. These mattresses are designed to be less bulky than normal mattresses, and increase the safety rail height of the top bunk. They also reduce “filler” materials to provide the highest quality in an ultra-slim design. Think about an innerspring model or hybrid that has upper comfort layers which can be removed and replaced as your child develops. These models can provide you with an idea of the longevity of the mattress as your child grows. You can also include an extra bed skirt or mattress pad to prevent it from sliding. Some beds even have built-in lip or side rails to prevent this from happening. Stores Bunk beds can be a great option to free up space in shared kids rooms. 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 tucked away beneath the bottom bunk when it is not being used. To maximize space and storage in a space with bunk beds, think about installing a combination kids bedroom furniture set that includes dressers, desks and/or bookcases. This will let you store all of your child's clothes as well as toys and personal belongings in one location instead of cramming everything in overstuffed closets or chests. These kids bedroom furniture sets are available from a range of retailers and generally meet all federal safety standards. Stacking bunks can be a playground for imagination, as children 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 sleeping, playing or even for superhero cape twirling. The room is decorated with a bubble wallcovering of Chasing Paper, and the ceiling is painted Benjamin Moore Blue Jean. If you cannot install an stairwell to your stacked bunk beds then a ladder is a good alternative. They are constructed with a combination Single Socket Flange, Single Socket, and 90 Degree Side Outlet Fittings. They can be easily adjusted in order to increase or decrease distance between ladder rungs. The ladder's rungs are also placed so that they're in line with the ground rather than above it, to make climbing less daunting. Another way to maximize space in a room that has bunk beds is to put up loft beds for kids that can be lowered down to just above the floor. This lets you slide desks, dressers and toy chests right under the beds. This is an excellent way to maximize space in small bedrooms or large family homes where beds have to be able to accommodate multiple sleepers.
