Kids Beds Bunk
Bunk beds can bring excitement and drama to a child's bedroom. To make bunk beds more appealing to kids, Ms. Keenan often includes a bookcase or an reading lamp in each sleeping nook.
Many of our bunk beds for kids can be transformed into two twin beds. This is perfect for those who plan to make them move to their own bedroom in the near future. Pick from finishes such as the brushed gray, creamy white and rich walnut.
Stairs or ladders
When you are choosing a bunk bed for your kids there is the option to pick between stairs or ladders. Ladders are more affordable and simple to put in, and they provide an easy method of climbing into the top bunk. They are also considered to be safer than staircases, as they have a bigger surface for children to walk on and have a built-in handrail. There are grooves on the steps to prevent slipping when climbing up and down the bed.
However, if you prefer the style and look of stairs, they may be a beautiful addition to your bunk bed. Staircases can also be utilized in rooms with limited space as they do not protrude like ladders. They can be constructed from wood or metal and are able to match a wide range of bedroom designs. Some staircases even include integrated storage drawers, which 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 below the age of 6, children who are comfortable climbing vertically might be better off using stairs instead of a ladder. If you plan to use your bunk bed to accommodate guests, such as older children or adults with limited mobility, it is best to choose stairs.
A straight staircase on the side of the bunk requires at least 95" of space on each side. If you don't have the space, you can choose the u-shaped stairs that does not require as much space but still allows you to get access to the top bunk in a safe and securely. Certain beds let you disconnect the stairs when they're not in use. This reduces the size of the bed, making it more adaptable to multi-purpose spaces. There are also stairs that connect to the top of the bed. This eliminates the need for separate handrails and makes it easier to climb up and down to the bottom for children.
Guard Rails
Guard rails provide children with the confidence and the freedom to climb into and out of bed on their own. They must be positioned correctly to ensure there are no gaps or loosening in between the guardrails and the bed's frame. If you choose to use guard rails, make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions and check them frequently for any holes or looseness which could cause an entrapment.
One of the most important safety considerations for bunk beds is to keep them away from electrical devices as well as other objects that could be projectiles when your kids play or sleep. Position bunk beds away from windows to prevent a potential fall hazard if your children get up on the upper level.
A safety feature you may be considering is a night light for the ladder; it can help to illuminate the ladder's path up and down in case children awake at night to go to the bathroom or are woken by a storm and have to get out of their room safely.
Another excellent safety feature for bunks is a safety net, which can be placed at the top to keep children from falling down while asleep or playing. This is especially a good idea for older children, who are more likely to sleep in the top bunk.
The guardrails must be securely attached to the bunk beds and cannot be removed without tools. The openings in the guardrail above the mattress base should not be larger than 3.5 inches wide to prevent strangulation or entrapment. Place the wedge block as shown in Figure 1 in each of the openings in the topmost guardrail member and above the mattress foundation. Then apply 33-lbf (147-N) force in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the larger end of the block, and sustain it for 1 minute.
It's a good idea to instruct your children not to hang anything on the guardrail or ladder like belts, clothes, or sporting equipment. Instead you should utilize an organized rack to keep these items from becoming an injury to your child. Make sure that no more than one child can sleep on the top bunk. This could result in a dangerous imbalance and falls.
Mattresses
When choosing a mattress for bunk beds, take into account the size and age of your child. A bunk mattress should last for at least eight years or until the children are no longer sharing the same bedroom. You'll want to choose one that will grow with your child, but still offer enough comfort as they age.
Bunk mattresses are usually full-size or twin, and there are plenty of options that will accommodate either. If your child has asthma or allergies, choose an hypoallergenic mattress with a dust-mite barrier as well as a moisture-wicking cover. A mattress with an antimicrobial coating will shield the foam against harmful bacteria and germs.
Another factor to consider is the mattress's feel. Kids generally weigh less than adults, which means they need mattresses that feel firm but also comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattresses have a firm side and a soft side to meet children's requirements.
Memory foam mattresses are good for kids, but we don't recommend them due to their tendency not to cool effectively and can be hard on the spines of small children. Consider a hybrid or a latex mattress, which offers strong support and cooling infusions to your child or guests to rest comfortably.
A low-profile mattress is often the best option for kids bunk beds . These mattresses are designed to be smaller than normal mattresses, and to maximize the safety rail's height on the top bunk. They reduce "filler" material to provide top quality and durability with slim lines.
You can consider an innerspring or a hybrid with upper comfort layers that can be removed and replaced as your child grows. These models can provide you with an idea of the durability of the mattress as your child grows. You can also add a mattress skirt or bed pad to stop it from sliding. Some beds have side rails or lip that are built-in to stop this.
Storage
Bunk beds are a great alternative to save space in rooms shared by children. They also can be an affordable alternative to purchasing two separate single beds. Many bunks also offer the option of a trundle bed that can be hidden under the bottom bunk when it is not being used.
To maximize space and storage in a space with bunk beds, consider installing a combination kids bedroom furniture set which includes desks, dressers or bookcases. This will allow you keep all your child's clothing along with toys and other personal items in one spot instead of cramming everything into overstuffed chests or closets. These kids bedroom furniture sets are available from a range of retailers and typically meet all federal safety standards.
Stacking bunks can provide an ideal playground for children and children can transform the spaces below into hidden places to play or cozy areas. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked 6 bunks in this room to create the ultimate play space for kids that can be used to sleep, play and even superhero cape twirls. The room is decorated with a bubble wallcovering of Chasing Paper, and the ceiling is painted Benjamin Moore Blue Jean.
If you're unable to construct stairs to your bunk that is stacked, a ladder can be an easy solution. The ladders are constructed with a combination of Single Socket Tee Flange, Single Socket Tee and 90 Degree Side Outlet Tee fittings. They can be easily adjusted to alter the distance between rungs of a ladder to make it easier for little ones to climb. The ladder's rungs are also placed in a way that they are flush with the ground instead of above it, to make climbing less intimidating.
Installing loft beds that can be lowered to just above the ground is another way to maximize the space in the bunk bed room. This allows you to slide dressers, desks, or toy chests under the beds that are elevated. 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.
