Kids Beds Bunk

Bunk beds add drama to kids' rooms and also give them a sense of adventure. To make bunks more appealing to children Ms. Keenan often includes a ledge to hold books or a reading lamp in each sleeping space.

Many of our bunk beds for kids can be made into two twin beds. This is perfect if your plan is to move them to their own bedroom at some point. Pick 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 stairs or ladders. Ladders can be easily installed and are cheaper. They also offer an easy way to get into the top bunk bed. They are also more secure than stairs since they provide a greater surface for children to walk on and have a handrail that is integrated. Ladders also tend to have grooves on the steps which can prevent slippage while climbing up or down the bed.

If you like the look and design of stairs, they can be a beautiful addition to your bunk bed. They can also be used in rooms with limited space since they aren't as imposing as ladders. They are typically constructed of metal or wood and can be a great match for a variety of bedroom styles. Some staircases come with storage drawers that can be an excellent way to expand the space of bunk beds.

Another factor 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, children who are comfortable with vertical climbing might be better off using stairs instead of a ladder. Also, if you're planning on using your bunk bed as guest beds for smaller children or adults with limited mobility stairs are the best option.

A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bed requires 95" of space each side. If you don't have that space, you could opt for a u-shaped staircase that doesn't require as much space, but 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 versatile for multipurpose spaces. You can also find staircases that connect to the end 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 let children climb into and out of their beds without assistance and provide them with a sense of independence and confidence. They must be set in a proper way to ensure there are no gaps or loosening between guardrails and the bed frame. If you decide to use guard rails, follow the instructions of the manufacturer and inspect them on a regular basis for any looseness or holes that could lead to the entrapment.

One of the most important safety concerns for bunk beds is to ensure they are kept away from electrical devices as well as other objects that could turn into projectiles while your children play or sleep. Position bunk beds away from windows to prevent a potential fall hazard in the event that your children are on the upper level.

You might want to put a nightlight on the ladder to illuminate the ladder's climb and descent in the event that your child gets up at the end of the night to use the bathroom, or wake up due to a storm to leave their bedroom.

A safety net can be placed on the top of the bunk to stop children from falling off while they sleep or play. 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 cannot be removed without tools. The guardrail openings above the mattress foundation should not be larger than 3.5 inches wide to prevent entrapment or strangulation. 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 underside of the mattress foundation. Apply a force of 33 lbf (147 N) in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the large edge of the block for one minute.

It is also an excellent idea to instruct kids not to hang things on the ladders or guardrails, like clothing, belts and sports equipment; instead a rack for clothes should be used to ensure that these items do not pose a strangulation danger for your child(ren). Make sure that no more than one child is sleeping on the top bunk. This could lead to a dangerous imbalance and falls.

Mattresses

The comfort of your mattress is crucial. Children typically weigh less than adults, which means they need an item that is firm but is also comfortable. A lot of hybrid and latex mattresses have a firm side and a soft side to accommodate the needs of both kids and adults.

Memory foam mattresses be great for children, but they're not the first choice as they can retain heat and could be too harsh on young spines. Consider a hybrid or a latex mattress that provides solid support and cooling infusions that allow your child or guests to rest comfortably.

A low-profile mattress is often the best choice for kids bunk beds. These are designed to be smaller than regular mattresses and maximize the height of the safety rail for the top bunk. They reduce "filler" material to provide premium quality with slim lines.

If your child would like to try a mattress that's more hefty than a regular bed, consider an innerspring or hybrid model with comfort layers on the top that can be removed or replaced as the child grows. These models will give you an idea of how the mattress will hold up as your child grows and you can always add a mattress skirt or mattress pad to keep it from slipping off the frame. Some mattresses have side rails or a lip built-in to prevent this.

Loft beds that can be lowered to just above the ground is another method to maximize the space in the bunk bedroom. This allows you to slide desks, dressers and toy chests directly beneath the beds.
