Kids Beds Bunk
Bunk beds can bring excitement and drama to a child's space. To make bunk beds more appealing to children, Ms. Keenan often includes a bookcase or a reading lamp in every sleeping space.
Many of our bunk beds for kids can be made into two twin beds. This is perfect when you plan to move them to their own bedroom in the near future. Pick from finishes such as white, brushed gray and rich walnut.
Ladders and Stairs
You can pick between stairs or ladders when it comes to bunk beds for children. Ladders are less expensive and easy to set up, and they provide an easy method of climbing into the top bed. They are more secure than stairs, as they provide a wider surface for children to walk on and include a handrail that is integrated. Ladders also usually have grooves in the steps which can prevent slippage while climbing up or down the bed.
If you like the design and look of stairs, they could make an elegant addition to your bunk bed. Staircases are also ideal for rooms that are tight on space since they don't obstruct the space like ladders do. They can be constructed of metal or wood and can be matched to the wide variety of bedroom designs. Some staircases even include integrated storage drawers. They are ideal for adding more space to the bunk bed.
When deciding between a ladder or stairs, you should also consider the age of your child. It is recommended that children younger than 6 years old should not be sleeping on the top bunk. Children older than 6 years old who are able to climb vertically could be better off with stairs than climbing a ladder. In addition, if you're planning on using your bunk bed as guest beds for smaller children or adults with mobility issues stairs are the best choice.
A straight staircase on the opposite side of the bed requires 95" of space each side. If you don't have the space, you can choose an u-shaped staircase that doesn't require as much room however it 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 being used. This reduces the size of the bed and makes it more suited 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 kids.
Guard Rails
Guard rails give children the confidence and freedom to climb in and out of beds on their own. They must be placed correctly to ensure there aren't any gaps or loosening between guardrails and the bed's frame. If you decide to use guard rails, follow the instructions of the manufacturer and inspect them frequently for any looseness or holes which could cause entrapment.
One of the most important safety tips for bunk beds is to keep them away from electrical devices as well as other objects that could turn into projectiles if your children play or sleep. Position bunk beds away from windows to prevent an injury to fall risk when your children climb up on the upper level.
A safety feature you may be considering is a night light for the ladder. it will aid in illuminating the path and down in the event that kids awake at night to go to the bathroom or are woken by a storm and have to get out of their room safely.
Another great security feature for bunk beds is a safety net which can be installed on the top level to prevent children from falling off when they're asleep or playing. This is a great idea, especially for older children who tend to sleep on the top bunk.
The guardrails must be securely attached to the bunk beds. They cannot be removed without tools. The guardrail openings above the mattress foundation should not be larger than 3.5 inches wide to prevent strangulation or entrapment. To test kids bunk bed , place the wedge block shown in Figure 1 into each of the openings on the lower edge of the highest guardrail member and above the mattress's underside foundation. Then apply 33-lbf (147-N) force in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the largest end of the block and maintain it for a period of 1 minute.
It's a good idea inform your children to not hang anything on the ladder or guardrail, such as belts, clothes, or sports equipment. Instead you should make use of a rack for clothes to stop these objects from becoming a strangulation hazard for your child. Make sure that no more than one child can sleep on the top bunk. This could result in a risky imbalance and even falls.
Mattresses
When choosing a mattress for bunk beds, think about your child's size and age. A bunk mattress will last for at least eight years, or until siblings are no longer sharing bedrooms and you'll need to select a mattress designed to adapt to the needs of your child, while providing sufficient support as they grow older.
There are many options for bunk mattress sizes. They are usually full or twin size. If your child suffers from allergies or asthma you should choose an allergy-free mattress with a dust mite barrier and a moisture-wicking cover. Kids are likely to experience many spills and accidents, so mattresses with an antimicrobial layer will keep the foam safe from harmful bacteria and germs.
Another factor to consider is the feel of your mattress. Children are typically heavier than adults, and require a mattress which is firm but also comfortable. Many latex and hybrid mattresses have a firm side and a soft side to meet children's needs.
Memory foam mattresses are good for kids, but we don't recommend them because they tend not to cool effectively and can be a strain on the spines of young children. You should consider a hybrid or a latex mattress instead, which will provide solid support and cooling infusions to keep your child or guest asleep cool and comfortable.
Low-profile mattresses are usually the best choice for bunk beds for children. These mattresses are designed to be less bulky than regular mattresses, and maximize the safety rail's height on the top bunk. They also reduce "filler" materials to offer the highest quality in slim designs.
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 on the top that can be removed or replaced as the child develops. These models will give you a clear idea of how the mattress will hold up as your child grows, and you can always add the mattress skirt or mattress pad to stop it from sliding off the frame. Some beds have a an integrated lip or side rails to prevent this from happening.
Stores
Bunk beds are an excellent option for saving space in rooms shared by children. They also can be a cheaper alternative to buying two separate full sized single beds. A lot of bunks have the option to add a trundle which can be tucked under the bottom bunk when not in use.
You might want to consider installing a bedroom for your child furniture set that includes bookshelves, desks, or dressers to maximize storage space in a room that has bunk beds. This will let you keep all of your child's personal items including toys, clothing and clothes in one place without cramming them into overstuffed chests or closets. The sets of kids bedroom furniture are sold at a variety of stores. They meet federal safety standards.
Stacked bunks can become an imaginative playground as children can transform the space beneath into cozy hidden play areas and hideaway spaces. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked six bunks to create the ultimate children space. It can be used for sleeping, playing or even for twirling superhero capes. The room is decorated with a bubble wallcovering from Chasing Paper, and the ceiling is painted Benjamin Moore Blue Jean.
If you aren't able to build an stairwell to your bunk that is stacked A ladder is an ideal solution. The ladders are constructed 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 ladder rungs to make it easier for children to climb. The ladder rungs are also set in a straight line with the ground rather than above to facilitate climbing.
Another way to maximize space in a room that has bunk beds is to install loft beds for kids that can be moved down to just above the floor. This allows you slide dressers, desks, or toy chests under the beds that are elevated. This is a great way to maximize the space in smaller bedrooms, or in large family homes where beds need to be sufficient for multiple people to sleep.
