Kids Beds Bunk

Bunk beds can add excitement and drama to a child's space. To make bunk beds more appealing to children, Ms. Keenan often includes a ledge to hold books or an reading lamp in each sleeping space.


A lot of our kids' beds can be converted into two twin beds in one, perfect if you plan to have your children move into their own bedrooms in the near future. Choose from finishes like brushed white, gray and rich walnut.

Stairs and ladders

When you are choosing a bunk bed for your kids you can choose to pick between ladders or stairs. Ladders are easy to install and are also less expensive. They also provide an easy way to get into the top bunk bed. They are also considered to be safer than staircases, as they have a bigger surface for children to walk on and have 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, then they can make a more elegant addition for your bunk bed. They can also be used in rooms with limited space since they don't protrude as ladders. bunk beds for kids can be made from wood or metal and are able to match a wide range of bedroom designs. Some staircases have integrated storage drawers. They are ideal for adding more space to the bunk bed.

When deciding between a ladder or stairs, you should also consider the age of your child. While it is recommended nobody sleep on the top bunk below the age of 6, older children who are comfortable climbing vertically might be better off using stairs rather than a ladder. Additionally should you be planning on using your bunk bed as an extra bed for children or adults who have mobility issues stairs are the best choice.

A straight staircase on the side of the bunk requires a minimum of 95" of space on each side. If you don't have that space, you could opt for a u-shaped stairs that doesn't need as much space, but provides a safe and secure means of accessing the top bunk. Certain beds let you detach the stairs when not being used. This reduces the footprint of the bed and makes it more adaptable to multi-purpose spaces. There are also stairs that connect to the bottom of the bed. This eliminates the need for separate handrails, and makes it easier to climb to the bottom for kids.

Guard Rails

Guard rails let children climb in and out of their beds independently and provide them with a sense of freedom and confidence. But they must be positioned correctly, ensuring that no gaps or sagging occurs between the rails that guard the bed frame. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines when installing guard rails and be sure to check them regularly to ensure that they aren't loose or have holes that could lead to the entrapment.

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

A safety feature you may think about is a night lighting for the ladder; it can aid in illuminating the path and down in the event that children awake at night and need to go to the bathroom or get woken by a storm and have to make their way out of their rooms safely.

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 especially for older children who tend to sleep on the top bunk.

The guardrails must be secured to the bunk beds. They cannot be removed without tools. The guardrail openings that are above the mattress base must not exceed 3.5 inches wide to avoid strangulation or entrapment. To test this, insert the wedge block shown in Figure 1 into each opening on the lower edge of the uppermost member of the guardrail and above the mattress's underside foundation. Then apply 33-lbf (147-N) force in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the large end of the block and keep it there for 1 minute.

It is also a good idea to teach children not to hang things on the ladders or guardrails, like clothing, belts and sports equipment; instead a rack for clothes is recommended to ensure that these items do not pose a strangulation danger for your child(ren). Be sure that no more than one child sleeps on the top bunk. This could lead to a dangerous imbalance and falls.

Mattresses

When choosing a mattress to use for bunk beds, take into account the size of your child and their age. A bunk mattress should last 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 grow older.

Bunk mattress sizes are usually twin or full-size, and there are plenty of alternatives that will be suitable for either. If your child suffers from allergies or asthma you should choose an allergy-free mattress with dust mite barriers and a moisture-wicking cover. A mattress with an antimicrobial coating will protect the foam from harmful bacteria and germs.

The comfort of your mattress is important. Children are typically heavier than adults, and require a mattress which is firm, but also comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattresses come with one side that is firm and the other soft side to meet children's requirements.

Memory foam mattresses are a good choice for kids but we don't recommend them as they tend not to cool well and can be hard on the spines of small children. Think about a hybrid or a latex mattress instead, which offer solid support with cooling infusions that will ensure your child or guest is asleep cool and comfortable.

Low-profile mattresses are usually the best choice for bunk beds for children. These mattresses are designed to be thinner than regular mattresses, and increase the safety rail's height on the top bunk. They also minimize "filler" materials to offer premium quality in a slim design.

If your child is looking to try a mattress thicker than a regular mattress, think about an innerspring or hybrid model with comfort layers on the top that can be removed or replaced as your child develops. These models will give you a good idea of how the mattress will stand up as your child grows and you can always include a mattress skirt or mattress pad to stop it from slipping off the frame. Some beds have a side rails or a lip built-in to stop this from happening.

Stores

Bunk beds can be the ideal way to save space in shared rooms for kids. They also can be a cheaper alternative to purchasing two separate full sized single beds. Many bunks allow to add a trundle that can be put underneath the bottom bunk when not in use.

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

Stacked bunks can become an imaginative playground as kids can turn the spaces beneath into cozy hideaways and secret play zones. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked 6 bunks in this room to create the ultimate kids space that can be used to sleep, play and even 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 getaway.

If you are unable to build stairs for your stacked kids bunk the ladder could be a simple solution. 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 alter the distance between rungs of a ladder to make it easier for little ones to climb. The ladder rungs are set directly on the ground rather than higher to facilitate climbing.

The installation of loft beds that can be lifted to just above the floor is another method to maximize space in the bunk bedroom. This lets you slide dressers, desks, or toy chests under the beds that are elevated. This is an excellent way to maximize space in bedrooms that are small, or in large family homes where beds need to be able to accommodate multiple sleepers.
