Ladders

A bunk bed is an excellent option for children to reduce space without risking security. It is crucial to keep in mind that children should not sleep on the top bunk bed over double until they reach six years old. The ladder used to climb on and off of the top bunk could cause injuries if it's not properly installed or used. When selecting a ladder, you must consider a variety of factors to ensure your child can safely climb up and down the bunk.

The first thing to take into consideration when choosing the height of a ladder. The ideal ladder height is between 58-60 inches, but this can vary depending upon the size of the bunk. The ladder should be attached to the bunk's side frame, and not extend higher than 5 inches above the top guardrails. This will stop a child from being trapped between the ladder and the guardrail.

The number of rungs is an additional aspect to consider when selecting a bunk ladder. The ladder should have at least seven rungs, and they should be equally spaced. The width of the ladder should be proportional to the child's age and height so that they can easily use it. It is also an ideal idea to choose an upholstered ladder. These ladders will have a tread that is grippy and can minimize the risk of falling off the bed.

Many bunk beds come with a built-in staircase, which is a great choice for those who don't wish to buy separate ladders.

To apply the tape, you'll need to remove the black liner from the ladder and then cut it to the right size. Once it is set, you'll need to press firmly on both sides to ensure it sticks properly.

Headboards

While the maximum capacity of a top bunk is often stated as being equivalent to or higher than the standard twin mattress, most manufacturers recommend that the top bunk be used only with a mattress that is no thicker than 4 to 6 inches. Any thicker and the sleeper may end up being higher than the guard rails which can pose a risk.

If your top bunk has an straight ladder that can be anchored to the bed by using a set of ladder hooks that are positioned over the frame. The hooks can be positioned to either the left or right side of the ladder, in the event that they are not blocked by a headboard.

The desk should be built outside the bed frame (left image below) at either end instead of inside the bed (right image below). A desk built inside the bunk isn't advisable as it could cause children to strike their feet or head on it when they get in and out of the bed. The desk should be set in a way that the child can reach the chair with ease, and not too far away from the bed.

Under-bed drawers are an additional excellent option for top bunk beds. These storage spaces are great to store bedding sheets, sheets, seasonal clothes, toys, and other things.
