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 shelf to store books or an reading lamp in each sleeping space. A lot of our bunk beds for kids can be made into two twin beds. This is a great option if your plan is to make them move to their own bedroom at some point. Pick from finishes like brushed gray, cream white and rich walnut. Stairs and Ladders When you are choosing a bunk bed for your kids there is the option to select between ladders or stairs. Ladders can be easily installed and are less expensive. They also offer an easy way to get into the top bunk bed. They are more secure than stairs, because they offer a larger area for children to walk on and include an integrated handrail. Ladders usually have grooves in the steps to prevent slips when climbing up and down the bed. If you prefer the style and appearance of stairs then they can make a more elegant addition for your bunk bed. Staircases are also great for rooms that are small on space, as they don't obstruct the room as ladders do. They are typically made of metal or wood and can match a variety of bedroom styles. Some staircases have integrated storage drawers. They are a great way to add more space to the bunk bed. Another factor to consider when choosing between stairs and a ladder is the age of your child. kids treehouse bunk bed is recommended that children younger than 6 years old not sleep on the top bunk. Older children who are able to climb vertically may prefer stairs than climbing a ladder. If you intend to use your bunk bed for guests, for example, young children or adults with limited mobility, it is best to choose stairs. A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bed will require 95” of space on each side. If you don't have that room, you can choose a u-shaped staircase which doesn't require as much space but still offers a secure and safe method of getting to the top bunk. Some beds come with the option of distancing the stairs when they're not in use, which further reduces their footprint and makes them more suitable for rooms with multiple uses. There are stairs that connect to the end the bed. This eliminates the requirement for separate handrails and makes it easier to climb to the bottom for children. Guard Rails Guard rails let kids climb in and out of their beds on their own, giving them a sense of independence and confidence. They must be positioned correctly to ensure that there aren't any gaps or loosening between guardrails and the bed's frame. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing guard rails, and ensure that you examine them regularly to ensure they are not loose or have holes that could cause trapping. Keep bunk beds out of electrical appliances and other items that can become projectiles while your children are playing or sleeping. Be sure to place bunks away from windows, which could cause a risk of falling when children climb up to the top level. You may want to install an evening light on the ladder to illuminate the way up and down in the event that your child gets up at the night to go to the bathroom, or are awakened by a storm to leave their room. Another great safety feature for bunks is a safety net, which can be placed on the top level to stop children from falling down while asleep or playing. This is especially a good idea for older children who may be more likely to sleep on the top bunk. The guardrails must be secured to the bunk beds. They cannot be removed without tools. The openings in the guardrail above the mattress foundation should not be more than 3.5 inches wide to avoid strangulation or entrapment. To test this, insert the wedge block shown in Figure 1 into each opening in the lower edge of the topmost guardrail member and above the mattress's underside foundation. Apply a force of 33 lbf (147 N) in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the largest edge of the block for 1 minute. It is a good idea to tell your children not to hang any items on the ladder or guardrail for example, belts, clothing, and sports equipment. Instead you should make use of an organized rack to keep these objects from becoming a strangulation hazard for your child. Also, make sure that more than one kid is not sleeping on the top level of the bunk, as this could create a dangerous imbalance which may lead to falls. Mattresses When choosing a mattress for bunk beds, take into account your child's size and age. A bunk mattress should last at the least eight years or until siblings stop sharing the same bedroom. You'll want to choose one that will grow with your child, and still offer enough comfort as they get older. There are many options for bunk mattress sizes. They are usually full or twin size. If your child is suffering from asthma or allergies, opt for an hypoallergenic mattress with an anti-dust barrier and a moisture-wicking cover. Children are prone to many accidents and spills, so a mattress with an antimicrobial layer will help protect the foam from harmful bacteria and germs. The feeling of your mattress is crucial. Kids generally weigh less than adults, so they need mattresses that feel firm, but also comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattress have a firm and a softer side to meet the needs of both children. Memory foam mattresses are good for kids, but we don't recommend them due to their tendency not to cool well and can be hard on the spines of young children. Consider a hybrid or a latex mattress, which provides strong support and cooling infusions for your child or guests to sleep comfortably. Low-profile mattresses are typically the ideal choice for bunk beds for children. They are designed to be less bulky than standard mattresses, and maximize the safety rail's height on the top bunk. They eliminate “filler” material to provide the highest quality and a slim design. If your child is looking to try a mattress more substantial than a standard mattress, think about an hybrid or innerspring mattress with comfort layers above that can be removed or replaced as the child grows. These models can provide an idea of the longevity of the mattress as your child grows. You can also include an extra bed skirt or mattress pad to prevent it from sliding. Some beds even have side rails or a lip built-in to stop this from happening. Stores Bunk beds are the ideal way to make space in shared kids rooms. They can also be a cheaper alternative to purchasing two separate single beds. A lot of bunks have the option to add a trundle which can be tucked underneath the bottom bunk when not in use. Consider putting up a kids' bedroom furniture set that has desks, bookcases, and/or dressers to maximize storage and space in a room that has bunk beds. This will allow you to keep all your child's clothing, toys and personal items in one place instead of stuffing everything into overstuffed closets or chests. The sets of kids bedroom furniture are available from a variety of retailers. They are safe to use and meet federal standards. Stacked bunks are a playground for the imagination as children can transform the space beneath into cozy places to hide and play. 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 superhero cape twirling. 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 install an stairwell to your bunk that is stacked the ladder could be a simple solution. These ladders are built with a combination of Single Socket Tee, Flange and 90 Degree Side Outlet Tee fittings and can be easily adjusted to alter the distance between rungs of a ladder to make it easier for children to climb. The ladder rungs are set flush with the ground, instead of above to facilitate climbing. Another method to maximize space in a room that has bunk beds is to put up loft kids beds that can be lowered down to just above the floor. This lets you move desks, dressers or toy chests right under the elevated beds. kids triple bunk beds is a true maximize of space and can be a great option for smaller bedrooms, or in a large family home where the beds need to be able to accommodate several people sleeping.
