Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds can bring excitement and drama to a childs space Ms Keenan adds a shelf to store books or a reading light in each sleeping nook to make bunk beds more appealing to children Many of our kids beds bunk are convertible to two complete twin beds ideal if you are planning to move your children to their own bedrooms in the near future Pick from finishes like white brushed gray and rich walnut Stairs and ladders When you are choosing a bunk bed for your kids there is the option to select between ladders or stairs Ladders are easy to install and are cheaper They also provide an easy way to climb into the top bunk bed They are more secure than stairs since they provide a greater area for children to walk on and also have a handrail that is integrated Ladders also usually have grooves on the steps which help prevent slippage when climbing up or down the bed If you like the design and appearance of stairs they could be a more elegant addition for your bunk bed Staircases can also be utilized in rooms with limited space as they arent as imposing as ladders They are often constructed of metal or wood and can match a variety of bedroom styles Some staircases are equipped with storage drawers which can be an excellent way to expand the space of bunk beds When deciding between a ladder or stairs take into account the age of your child While it is recommended that nobody sleep on the top bunk under the age of 6 older children who are comfortable climbing vertically might be better off using stairs instead of a ladder In addition when youre thinking of using your bunk bed as a guest bed for younger children or adults with limited mobility stairs are the most suitable choice A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bed requires 95 of space on either side If you dont have this much space you can opt for a ushaped stairs which doesnt require as much space but still offers a secure and safe means of accessing 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 multipurpose spaces You can also find stairs that connect to the end the bed This eliminates the need for separate handrails and makes it easier to climb to the bottom for kids Guard Rails Guard rails allow kids to climb in and out of their beds on their own giving them a sense of freedom and confidence They must be positioned correctly to ensure that there are no gaps or loosening in between the guardrails and the beds frame If you decide to use guard rails be sure to follow the instructions of the manufacturer and inspect them regularly for any holes or looseness which could cause the entrapment One of the most important safety concerns for bunk beds is to keep them away from electrical devices and other items that could become projectiles while your children play or sleep Be sure to place bunks away from windows which could cause a risk of falling if kids get up on the top level You might want to put an evening light on the ladder so that it can illuminate the steps up and down in the event that your child gets up at the end of the night to use the bathroom or are woken by the sound of a storm and are forced to leave their bedroom Another great safety feature for bunks is a safety net which can be placed on the top of the bunk to stop children from falling over while asleep or playing This is a great idea especially for older children who tend to sleep on the top bunk The guardrails should be secured to the bunk beds They cannot be removed without tools The openings in the guardrail above the mattress foundation should not be larger than 35 inches wide to avoid strangulation or entrapment Place the wedge block as shown on Figure 1 in each opening of the uppermost guardrail member and above the mattress foundation Apply 33 lbf 147 N in a direction perpendicular the plane of the largest edge of the block for a minute It is also a good idea to teach youngsters not to hang things on the guardrails or ladder like clothing belts and sports equipment instead a clothes rack is recommended to ensure that these objects arent a strangulation risk for your children Make sure that no more than one child sleeps on the top bunk This could result in a dangerous imbalance and falls Mattresses When choosing a mattress for bunk beds consider the size of your child and their age A bunk mattress should last for at least eight years or until siblings do not share bedrooms so youll want to pick one thats designed to adapt to the needs of your child and still provide adequate support as they grow older There are many options for bunk mattress sizes They are usually full or twin size If your child has allergies or asthma choose an hypoallergenic mattress with an antidust barrier and a moisturewicking cover A mattress with an antimicrobial coating will protect the foam from harmful bacteria and germs Another important consideration is the mattresss feel Children weigh less than adults so they need a mattress that feels firm but also comfortable Many hybrid and latex mattress come with a firm and softer side to meet the needs of both kids and adults Memory foam mattresses are great for kids but we dont recommend them as they tend not to cool properly and could be a strain on the spines of small children Think about a hybrid or a latex mattress instead which can provide solid support and cooling infusions to ensure that your child or guest asleep cool and comfortable A mattress with a low profile is usually the best choice for kids bunk beds These mattresses are designed to be smaller than regular mattresses and to maximize the safety rail height of the top bunk They eliminate filler material to offer the highest quality and slim lines You can consider an innerspring or hybrid that has upper comfort layers which can be removed and replaced as your child grows These models will give you an idea of how the mattress will perform as your child grows and you can always add a mattress pad or bed skirt to stop it from slipping off the frame Some beds have side rails or lip that are builtin to stop this Storage Bunk beds can be a great option to free up space in shared kids rooms They also can be an affordable alternative to purchasing two separate full sized single beds Many bunks also offer the option of adding a trundle bed which can be hidden under the bunk that is not in use You might want to consider installing a bedroom for your child furniture set that includes bookshelves desks or

overstuffed closets or chests These bedroom furniture sets are available from a range of retailers and generally meet all federal safety standards Stacking bunks can be an opportunity for creativity

build an stairwell for your stacked kids bunk a ladder can be an easy solution The ladders are constructed using a combination Single Socket Flange and 90 Degree Side Outlet Fittings They can be easily adjusted in order to increase or decrease distance between ladder rungs The ladder rungs can also be positioned flush with the ground rather than above to aid in climbing Another method to maximize space in a room with bunk beds is to install loft beds for kids that can be moved down to just above the floor This allows you to slide dressers desks or toy chests directly under the beds
