Kids Beds Bunk
Kids beds bunk make room in kids' rooms and are available in different styles. Loft beds, for example, raise a twin or full bed just a few feet above the floor to provide more space to study, play, and relax.
Choose between steps or ladders with a white finish that will complement cottage, coastal, and colorful bedroom décor. Stairs are also available with the rich gray or walnut finish.
Ladders
Bunk beds with ladders are a great option for kids as they offer a safe way to get to the top of the bed. Ladders take up less space on the floor than stairs. They're also a better option for children with disabilities, like cerebral palsy. They have a difficult to climb the stairs. Stairs can be hazardous for anyone, not just parents or grandparents who may have to assist the child up and down.
Ladders come in various styles and sizes, so it's important to choose one that is comfortable for kids to climb. A good ladder will have steps that are wide to make it easier for little feet, and a handrail to help them hold the bars. It should be set up so that your child is able to reach it without fear from their bed.
The ladder should be simple to use for kids who wake up at late at night to use the toilet or to drink water. This is essential because kids are more alert and able to use the ladder while asleep. The ladder shouldn't be placed near a ceiling fan, because it could cause them to fall or get caught in the blades. You can place an overhead light near the ladder to ensure that your children can see it even in the dark.
When choosing bunk beds, parents should ensure that they select models that meet all safety standards. The top bunk, for example, must have guardrails at least 5 inches in height and be securely attached to its frame. It is crucial to avoid rough play and jumping on the bunk, as these actions can weaken the mattress and cause it to collapse. It is also a good idea to place the bunk in a corner, which helps reduce the number of sides where a child could fall.
It is also essential to make sure the right size mattress fits the frame of the bunk. This will prevent children from falling out of bed, which can be a common injury on bunk beds. It's a good idea for children to review bunk bed rules regularly especially when they're attending sleepovers.
Stairs
Bunk beds with stairs are distinctive. They're a fusion of safety, elegance and practicality. They are also easy for children to reach and give an older look. If you're planning on installing bunks in your child's bedroom you should consider adding an additional set of stairs to increase the safety. Stairs are also an excellent option if you're looking to increase the storage space in your bunk bed design.
A bunk bed with stairways can make the most of a small space. You can include a comfortable seating area where your child can relax or study. You can also add built-in drawers that can be used as extra beds. Select a color scheme that matches the theme of your bedroom to make your child's bedroom feel distinct. For instance, this particular bunk made by Alicia Lane Interiors has a train-car design that feels at home with the Thibaut wallpaper and brass wall lights.
Bunk beds can be easily transformed by adding accessories that add an element of personality and fun to your kid's space. Erin Martin and Kim Dempster are the owners of the Marin County home in California decorated their bunk bed to look like a ship's berth. The curtains' grommets evoke bubbles, while blue and white bedding makes the bunks feel cool and comfortable.
If you plan on building your own bunk beds, you can use Kee Klamp fittings to add a custom design. This DIY bunk bed frame, for example, features a black finish on the staircase and natural wood ladder rungs. You can also alter the distance between the ladder rungs to accommodate your child's height, resulting in an attractive staircase that is safe for all ages.
A custom-built bunk can be taken apart if your child gets bored of it. You can use the fittings for an entirely new desk, shelving unit or other design. This is a cheaper option than buying a pre-built bed and throwing it away when your child grows out of it.
Bunks are available for an array of age groups. From young children to teenagers, bunks can be designed to meet your requirements. This bunk bed, for instance, has a full-size bottom and a twin over it, making it perfect for older kids who still need plenty of room to sleep. This bedroom is made by Amber Interiors also includes a built-in desk and shelves for studying or storage of books.
Guardrails
Bunk beds make great beds for children's rooms, as they permit you to place more than one bed in the space that otherwise would not be enough. The ideal bunk bed for kids offers a comfortable sleeping surface, plenty of space for toys and books and enough storage to keep all their things neatly organized. It should also be equipped with security features like ladders and guard rails that they can easily climb.
Look for guardrails built into the design of the bunk, and that don't require additional hardware or attachments. This eliminates any security concerns and ensures that your child's bunk bed will be a safe sleeping place at night. You can also buy guardrails that are separately available and compatible with all bunk beds. They are generally less expensive and are exactly as effective as built-in ones.
Make sure that the guardrails on the bunk bed are at least five inches above the mattress level. This will stop children from climbing up the guardrails and falling off the bed. You should also check that the guardrails are tight and secure. A loose guardrail can collapse when an infant and cause injuries.
It is not a one-size fits all approach when it comes to children getting at a point where they can sleep in the top bunk. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has reached at minimum the age of six. Even if they're old enough, you'll want to make sure that they've reached the physical and mental maturity to make it to the top of the bunk and sleep there in a safe manner.
If you're worried that your child might not be ready for sleeping in the top bunk, consider a loft or corner bunk instead. This design incorporates two beds that are elevated across one corner of the room, allowing both children to have their own private sleeping spaces while freeing up space for play and storage. If you decide to go with this option ensure that all children adhere to the same rules for getting up from their beds with no music or electronics and lights out at a time that is reasonable.
Mattresses
The mattress in a loft or bunk bed provides the foundation for your children's restful sleeping and growth. Finding the best mattress for your child's needs can be easy.
The first step is to consider the size of your child. Toddlers can fit comfortably in twin beds, while teens may require larger options such as a queen or full size. Also, you should be aware of growth spurts, and if your child will be sharing a mattress with their siblings.
Once you've determined the size of mattress you need, you should consider the materials and firmness level. It's an excellent idea to visit a local mattress shop so your child can try out different models and see what ones feel comfortable. Many online mattresses provide extended sleep trials that give your kids a chance to test the bed before purchasing.
The Milliard Helix Kids is a great option for bunk frame beds. It has an 4.7-star Amazon rating and fits the majority of standard sizes for bunk frames. It is medium-firm and comes in a compact box for quick and easy installation. The top layer is composed of a non-toxic, waterproof fabric to avoid accidents.
