Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds add drama to kids rooms and they also provide them with the feeling of adventure To make bunk beds more appealing to children Ms Keenan often includes a shelf to store books or a reading lamp in every sleeping nook A lot of our bunk beds for kids can be made into two twin beds This is ideal for those who plan to make them move to their own bedroom at some point Pick from finishes like the brushed gray creamy white and rich walnut Stairs or ladders When you are choosing a bunk bed for your kids you have the option to choose between ladders or stairs Ladders can be easily installed and are also less expensive They also offer an easy way to get into the top bunk bed They are also considered to be safer than staircases because they have a wider area for children to step on and a handrail builtin Ladders also tend to have grooves on the steps which help prevent slippage when climbing up or down the bed If you prefer the style and look of stairs they could make an elegant addition to your bunk bed Staircases can also be utilized in rooms with limited space since they do not protrude like ladders They are usually constructed of metal or wood and can match various styles of bedrooms Some staircases even include integrated storage drawers which are an excellent way to add more space to the bunk bed When choosing between a staircase and a ladder you should also consider the age of your child It is recommended that children less than 6 years old not sleep on the top bunk Older children who are able to climb vertically could do better with stairs rather than using a ladder Additionally should you be planning on using your bunk bed as an extra bed for 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 on either side If you do not have the space you could opt for the ushaped stairs that does not require as much space but still allows you to get access to the top bunk in a safe and safely Certain beds offer the option of detaching the stairs when theyre not in use which further reduces their footprint and makes them more suited for multipurpose rooms There are stairs that connect to the bottom of the bed This eliminates the need for separate handrails and makes it easier to climb up and to the bottom for kids Guard Rails Guard rails let children climb in and out of their beds on their own giving them a sense of independence and security They must be set in a proper way to ensure there are no gaps or loosening between guardrails and the frame of the bed If you decide to use guard rails make sure you follow the instructions of the manufacturer and inspect them frequently for any looseness or holes that could potentially lead to an entrapment One of the most important safety tips for bunk beds is to keep them free from electrical devices and other items that could become projectiles if your children play or sleep Place bunk beds away from windows to avoid the risk of falling in the event that your children are on the top level A safety feature you may be considering is a night lighting for the ladder this can aid in illuminating the path and down in case children wake at night to go to the bathroom or wake up during a storm and need to get from their bedroom safely A safety net can be placed on the top of the bunk to stop children from falling out when they sleep or play This is a great idea for older children who may be 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 guardrails that are above the mattress foundation shall not be more than 35 inches to avoid entrapment and strangulation To test this insert the wedge block shown in Figure 1 into each of the openings on the lower edge of the uppermost member of the guardrail and above the mattresss underside foundation Apply kids bunk beds of 33 lbf 147 N in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the larger edge of the block for one minute Its a good idea inform your children to not hang any objects on the guardrail or ladder such as belts clothes or sporting equipment Instead you should make use of a clothes rack to prevent these objects from becoming an injury to your child Also make sure that more than one kid does not sleep on the top floor of the bunk as this could create an unsafe imbalance that could lead to falling Mattresses When choosing a mattress to use for bunk beds consider the size of your child and their age A bunk mattress should last for at least eight years or until siblings are no longer sharing bedrooms Youll want to select one that grows with your child but still provide adequate comfort as they get older Bunk mattress sizes are typically fullsize or twin and there are plenty of alternatives that will be suitable for either If your child suffers from asthma or allergies choose an allergyfree mattress with a dust mite barrier as well as an wicking cover for moisture Mattresses that have an antimicrobial coating will shield the foam against harmful bacteria and germs Another important consideration is the feel of your mattress Children are generally heavier than adults and require an appropriate mattress that is firm but also comfortable Many latex and hybrid mattresses have a firm and a softer side to meet the needs of both kids and adults Memory foam mattresses are great for kids but we dont recommend them because they tend not to cool well and can be a strain on the spines of small children Consider a latex or hybrid mattress that provides solid support and cooling infusions for your child or guests to rest comfortably A mattress with a low profile is usually the best choice for childrens bunk beds They are designed to be less bulky than standard mattresses and increase the safety rails height on the top bunk They also reduce filler materials to offer the highest quality in an ultraslim design If your child would like to test a mattress thats thicker than a regular mattress think about an innerspring or hybrid model with comfort layers on the top that can be removed or replaced as your child grows These models will give you an idea of the durability of the mattress as your child grows You can also put in an extra bed skirt or mattress pad to stop it from sliding Some mattresses have side rails or a lip builtin to prevent this Stores Bunk beds are an excellent option for saving space in rooms shared by children They can also be a costeffective alternative to purchasing two separate single beds Many bunks offer the option to add a trundle that can be tucked under the bunk that is 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 with a bunk bed This will let you store all your childs clothing as well as toys and personal belongings in one location instead of stuffing everything into overstuffed closets or chests These combination kids bedroom furniture sets are available from a variety of retailers and generally meet all federal safety standards Stacking bunks can provide a playground for imagination and children can transform the spaces below into hidden hideaways or cosy play areas Designer Elizabeth Georgantas

Paper and the ceiling is painted Benjamin Moore Blue Jean If youre unable to construct a staircase to your stacked bunk beds then a ladder is a good alternative The ladders are constructed with a combination of Single Socket Tee Flange Single Socket Tee and 90 Degree Side Outlet Tee fittings and can be easily adjusted to increase or decrease the distance between rungs of a ladder to make it easier for toddlers to climb The ladder rungs are also positioned in a straight line with the ground rather than higher to make climbing easier Another method to maximize space in a room that has bunk beds is to put up loft kids beds that can be moved down to just above the floor This allows you to move desks dressers or toy chests under the beds This is a great way to maximize space in small bedrooms or large family homes where beds need to be capable of accommodating multiple sleepers
