Ladders or Stairs

You can pick between stairs and ladders when choosing bunk beds for kids. Ladders are easy to install and are cheaper. They also offer an easy way to get into the top bunk bed. They are also considered safer than stairs, since they have a bigger area for children to step on and a built-in handrail. Ladders also tend to have grooves on 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 are also great for rooms that are small on space since they don't protrude into the room like ladders do. They are usually made of wood or metal and can match various styles of bedrooms. Some staircases even include integrated storage drawers. These are a great way to add more space to the bunk bed.

When choosing between a staircase and a ladder it is important to consider the age of your child. While it is recommended that no one sleep on the top bunk under the age of 6, older children who are comfortable with climbing vertically might be better off using stairs rather than a ladder. In addition should you be planning on using your bunk bed as a guest bed for younger children or adults with mobility issues stairs are the most suitable choice.

A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bed will require 95" of space each side. If you don't have the space, you can opt for the u-shaped stairs that doesn't require as much space but allows you to get access to the top bunk in a safe and safely. Certain beds offer the option of distancing the stairs when not in use, which further reduces their footprint and makes them more suited for multipurpose rooms. You can also find stairs that connect to the ends of the bed and eliminate the requirement for a separate handrail and makes it easier for children to climb up and down.

Guard Rails

Guard rails give children the confidence and the freedom to climb in and out of beds on their own. They must be placed correctly to ensure there aren't any gaps or loosening in between the guardrails and the bed's frame. If you decide to install guard rails, make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions and check them regularly for any looseness or holes that could potentially lead to entrapment.

One of the most important safety concerns for bunk beds is to ensure they are kept away from electrical devices and other objects that could be projectiles while your children play or sleep. Make sure you place bunks away from windows, which could be a danger to fall when children climb up to the top level.

You may want to install an evening light on the ladder to light the steps up and down in the event that your child gets up at the night to go to the bathroom, or are woken by an erupting storm and have to leave their bedroom.

Another excellent safety feature for bunks is a safety net which can be installed on the top level to keep children from falling down while they are asleep or playing. This is a great idea, especially for older children who tend to sleep on the top bunk.

The guardrails must be securely attached to the bunk beds and cannot be removed without tools. Openings in the guardrails above the mattress foundation should not be more than 3.5 inches to avoid strangulation and entrapment. The wedge block is placed in Figure 1 in each opening of the uppermost guardrail member, and above the mattress foundation. Apply 33 lbf (147 N) in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the large edge of the block for a minute.

It is also a good idea to teach youngsters not to hang anything on the ladders or guardrails, like clothing, belts and sports equipment. Instead a rack for clothes should be used to ensure that the objects don't become a strangulation hazard for your child(ren). Be sure that no more than one child is sleeping on the top bunk. This can lead to a dangerous imbalance and falls.

Mattresses

Be aware of the age of your child and their size when choosing a mattress for bunk beds. A bunk mattress should last for at least eight years or until the children are no longer sharing bedrooms. You'll want to select one that can grow with your child, and still offer enough comfort as they get older.

There are a variety of bunk mattress sizes. They are usually full or twin size. If your child suffers from allergies or asthma choose an allergy-free mattress that has a dust-mite barrier and moisture-wicking cover. Mattresses with an antimicrobial coating will shield the foam from harmful bacteria and germs.

The comfort of your mattress is also crucial. Children typically weigh less than adults, so they need a mattress that feels firm, but also comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattresses come with an extra firm side as well as a soft side that can accommodate both children's needs.

Memory foam mattresses work well for kids, but they're not our first recommendation because they tend to hold heat and are too difficult on spines of young children. Consider a latex or hybrid mattress, which offers strong support and cooling infusions that allow your child or guests to rest comfortably.

Low-profile mattresses are often the ideal choice 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 reduce "filler" materials to provide top quality and an ultra-slim design.

If your child wants to test a mattress that's thicker than a regular 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 provide you with 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 have a side rails or a lip built-in to prevent this from happening.

Storage


Bunk beds are an excellent alternative to save space in shared children's rooms. They also can be an affordable alternative to purchasing two separate, full-sized single beds. Many bunks also provide the option of adding an trundle bed that can be hidden under the bottom bunk when it is not being used.

You might want to consider installing a bedroom for your child furniture combination set that includes bookshelves, desks, or dressers to maximize storage space in a room with a bunk bed. This will let you store all of your child's clothes as well as toys and personal belongings in one spot instead of stuffing everything into overstuffed chests or closets. These combination kids bedroom furniture sets are available from a number of retailers and usually comply with all safety standards of the federal government.

The stacking bunks provide a playground for imagination, as children can transform the spaces below into hidden spaces for play or cozy spaces. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked six bunks to create the ultimate kids space. It can be used as a place for sleeping, playing or even for superhero cape twirling. The room has a bubble wallcovering by Chasing Paper and a ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to create the perfect escape.

If you are unable to build a staircase to your bunk that is stacked the ladder could be a simple solution. The ladders are constructed using a single socket Flange, Single Socket Degree Side Outlet Fittings. They can be easily adjusted in order to increase or decrease the distance between the ladder rungs. The ladder rungs can also be positioned flush with the ground, rather than higher to aid in climbing.

Loft beds that can be lifted to just above the floor is another method to maximize the space of the bunk bedroom. This allows you to slide dressers, desks or toy chests directly beneath the beds. This is a great way to maximize space in small bedrooms, or in large family homes where beds have to be able to accommodate multiple sleepers.
