Kids Beds Bunk

Bunk beds add drama to kids' rooms and also give them the feeling of adventure. Ms. Keenan adds a shelf for books or a reading lamp in each sleeping nook to make bunk beds more attractive to children.

Many of our beds for kids bunk are convertible to two twin beds in one which is ideal if you intend to have your children move to their own bedrooms in the near future. Pick from finishes such as white, brushed gray and rich walnut.

Ladders and Stairs

If you're looking for bunk beds for kids you can choose to select between stairs or ladders. Ladders can be installed easily and are less expensive. They also offer an easy way to climb into the top bunk bed. They are also considered safer than stairs, since 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 help prevent slippage when climbing up or down the bed.

If you prefer the design and appearance of stairs they could be a more elegant addition for your bunk bed. Staircases are also ideal for rooms that are limited on space, as they don't protrude into the room as ladders do. They can be made from wood or metal, and they can match the wide variety of bedroom styles. Some staircases even include integrated storage drawers. These are a great way to add more space to the bunk bed.

When deciding between a staircase and a ladder, you should also consider the age of your child. It is recommended that nobody sleep on the top bunk before the age of 6, older children who are comfortable climbing vertically may be better off with stairs rather than a ladder. Also should you be planning on using your bunk bed as a guest bed for younger children or adults who have mobility issues stairs are the best choice.

A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bunk requires at least 95" of space on each side. If you don't have that much space, you could opt for a u-shaped stairs that doesn't need as much space, but offers a secure and safe method of getting to the top bunk. Certain beds let you remove the stairs when they are not being used. This reduces the footprint of the bed, making it more adaptable to multi-purpose spaces. There are stairs that connect to the top of the bed. This eliminates the requirement for separate handrails and makes it easier to climb to the bottom for children.

Guard Rails

Guard rails give kids the confidence and freedom to climb in and out of bed on their own. But they must be positioned properly, making sure that there are no gaps or loosening occurs between the rails that guard the bed frame. If you choose to use guard rails, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and check them regularly for any holes or looseness which could cause an entrapment.

One of the most important safety tips for bunk beds is to keep them away from electrical devices and any other objects that could turn into projectiles while your children play or sleep. Set bunk beds far from windows to prevent the risk of falling if your children get up on the top level.

A safety feature you may think about is a night lighting for the ladder; it will help illuminate the path up and down in the event that kids awake at night to go to the bathroom, or wake up during a storm, and need to get from their bedroom safely.

A safety net can be placed on the top of the bunk to keep children from falling out when they're sleeping or playing. This is a great idea especially for older children who tend to sleep on the top bunk.

Guardrails should be secured to the bunk bed structure and not removable without the use of tools. The openings in the guardrail above the mattress base must not exceed 3.5 inches wide to avoid strangulation or entrapment. Place  childrens bunk bed  as shown in Figure 1 in each opening of the uppermost guardrail member and above the mattress foundation. Then apply a 33-lbf (147-N) force in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the larger end of the block and maintain it for a period of 1 minute.

It is a good idea to instruct your children not to hang anything on the guardrail or ladder, such as clothing, belts, and sporting equipment. Instead you should utilize a clothes rack to prevent these items from becoming a strangulation risk for your child. Also, make sure that more than one child is not sleeping on the top of the bunk, as this could cause an imbalance that could result in falls.

Mattresses

Consider the age and size of your child when selecting a mattress for a bunk beds. A bunk mattress will last for at least eight years, or until siblings do not share the same bedroom, so you'll want to choose a mattress that is designed to expand with your child and still provide adequate support as they grow older.

There are a myriad of options for bunk mattress sizes. They are typically full or twin size. If your child suffers from allergies or asthma choose a hypoallergenic bed with an anti-dust barrier and a moisture-wicking cover. Kids are likely to experience many accidents and spills, which is why a mattress that has an antimicrobial layer can help keep the foam safe from harmful bacteria and germs.

Another important consideration is the feel of your mattress. Kids are usually heavier than adults and require a mattress which is firm, yet comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattress have a firm side and a soft side to accommodate the needs of both children and adults.

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

Low-profile mattresses are often the best choice for bunk beds for children. These mattresses are designed to be thinner than normal mattresses, and to maximize the safety rail's height on the top bunk. They eliminate "filler" material to provide top quality and durability with slim lines.

If your child would like to try a mattress that's more substantial than a standard bed, consider an hybrid or innerspring mattress with comfort layers above that can be removed or replaced as your child grows. These models will give you an idea of how the mattress will stand up as your child grows and you can always include the mattress skirt or mattress pad to keep it from sliding off the frame. Some beds even have an integrated lip or side rails to prevent this from happening.

Storage

Bunk beds can be a great way to save space in shared rooms for kids. Bunk beds can also be a cost-effective alternative to purchasing two full-sized single beds. Many bunks offer the option to add a trundle which can be put under the bunk that is not in use.

To maximize space and storage in a room with bunk beds, you should consider creating a kids' bedroom furniture set which includes desks, dressers and/or bookcases. This will allow you to keep all of your child's personal items such as clothing, toys and clothes in one location without having to cram them into overstuffed chests or closets. These sets of bedroom furniture can be found at a variety of stores. They are safe to use and meet federal standards.

Stacked bunks can become an imaginative playground as children can transform the spaces beneath into cozy hideaways and secret play zones. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked six bunks to create the ultimate children' space. It can be used as a place to sleep, play or even for twirling superhero capes. The room is decorated with a bubble wallcovering made of Chasing Paper, and the ceiling is painted Benjamin Moore Blue Jean.

If you are unable to build an stairwell to your stacked bunk beds A ladder is a simple alternative. These ladders are constructed with 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 rungs of the ladder are also placed in a way that they are flush with the ground instead of being above it to make climbing less intimidating.

Installing loft beds that can be lifted to just above the floor is another method to maximize space in the bunk bed room. This allows you slide desks, dressers or toy chests underneath the beds on top. This is an excellent way to maximize space in small bedrooms or large family homes where beds need to be capable of accommodating multiple sleepers.
