Kids Beds Bunk

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

Stairs and Ladders

When choosing kids beds bunk there is the option to choose between stairs or ladders. Ladders are cheaper and easy to install and provide an easy method of climbing into the bed at the top. They are also more secure than stairs as they provide a wider surface for children to walk on, and also have an integrated handrail. There are grooves on the steps to prevent slips when climbing up and down the bed.

If you prefer the style and look of stairs, they could be an elegant addition to your bunk bed. They can also be used in rooms with limited space since they don't protrude as ladders. They can be made from wood or metal and are able to match an array of bedroom styles. Some staircases are equipped with storage drawers that can be an ideal way to expand the space of bunk beds.

Another factor to consider when choosing between stairs and a ladder is the age of your child. It is recommended that no one sleep on the top bunk below the age of 6, children who are comfortable with climbing vertically may be better off with stairs than a ladder. Additionally, if you're planning on using your bunk bed as a guest bed for younger children or adults who have mobility issues stairs are the best option.

A straight staircase that runs along the sides 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 which doesn't require as much space, but provides a safe and secure way to access the top bunk. Certain beds offer the option of removing the stairs when they're not in use, which reduces their footprint and makes them more versatile for multipurpose rooms. There are stairs that connect to the end the bed. This eliminates the need for separate handrails and makes it easier to climb up and down to the bottom for kids.

Guard Rails

Guard rails allow kids to climb into and out of their beds on their own, giving them a sense of independence and confidence. However, they must be placed properly, ensuring that there aren't any gaps or movement occurs between guard rails and the bed frame. If you choose to use guard rails, be sure to follow the directions of the manufacturer and examine them regularly for any looseness or holes that could lead to entrapment.

Keep bunk beds away from electrical appliances and other items that could be projectiles while your children are playing or sleeping. Set bunk beds far from windows to avoid an injury to fall risk when your children climb up on the upper level.

You might want to put an evening light on the ladder to illuminate the way up and down if your child wakes at the night to go to the bathroom, or if they are woken by a storm to leave their room.

Another great security feature for bunk beds is a safety net which can be placed on the top of the bunk to keep children from falling over while they are asleep or playing. This is especially a good idea for older kids, who are more likely to sleep in the top bunk.

The guardrails must be securely attached to the bunk beds and can't be removed without tools. The openings in the guardrails that are above the mattress foundation should not be greater than 3.5 inches to prevent strangulation and entrapment. Place the wedge block as shown in Figure 1 in each opening of the uppermost guardrail member and over the mattress foundation. Apply a force of 33 lbf (147 N) in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the largest edge of the block for one minute.

It's a good idea to tell your children not to hang anything on the guardrail or ladder like belts, clothing, and sporting equipment. Instead, you should use an organized rack to keep the objects from creating a strangulation risk for your child. Be sure that no more than one child sleeps on the top bunk. This could lead to a dangerous imbalance and falls.

Mattresses

Take into consideration the age and size of your child when selecting a mattress to fit a bunk bed. A bunk mattress should last for at least eight years or until the children are no longer sharing a bedroom. You should select one that grows with your child and still offer enough comfort as they get older.

If your child is suffering from allergies or asthma choose an hypoallergenic mattress with an anti-dust barrier and a moisture-wicking cover. Mattresses with an antimicrobial layer will protect the foam against harmful bacteria and germs.

Another important consideration is the feel of your mattress. Kids generally weigh less than adults, so they need a mattress that feels firm but is also comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattress have a firm side and a softer side to meet the needs of both children and adults.

Memory foam mattresses work well for kids bunk bed however they're not the first choice because they tend to retain heat and could be too difficult on spines of young children. Consider a hybrid or a latex mattress, which provides strong support and cooling infusions for your guest or child to sleep comfortably.

A mattress with a low profile is typically the best choice for children's bunk beds. These are designed to be slimmer than regular mattresses and to increase safety rail height for the top bunk. They eliminate "filler" material to offer premium quality with slim designs.

You can consider an innerspring or hybrid that has upper comfort layers which can be removed and replaced as your child develops. These models will provide an idea of the mattress's durability as your child grows. You can also add an extra bed skirt or mattress pad to stop it from sliding. Some beds have a built-in lip or side rails to stop this from happening.

Storage

Bunk beds are an excellent alternative to save space in shared children's rooms. They also can be a cheaper alternative to buying two separate, full-sized single beds. Many bunks allow to add a trundle that can be placed under the bottom bunk when not being used.

You might want to consider installing a bedroom for your child furniture set that has desks, bookcases, and/or dressers to maximize storage space in a room with a bunk bed. This will let you keep all of your child's personal belongings such as clothing, toys and clothes in one spot without cramming them into overstuffed closets or chests. These kids bedroom furniture sets are available from a variety of retailers and typically comply with all safety standards of the federal government.

The rungs of the ladder are also placed in a way that they are in line with the ground instead of being above it to make climbing less intimidating.

Another way to maximize space in a room that has bunk beds is to put up loft kids beds which can be lowered to just above the floor. This lets you move desks, dressers or toy chests right under the beds. This is a great method to maximize space in bedrooms that are small or large family homes where beds must be sufficient for multiple people to sleep.
