Kids Beds Bunk
Bunk beds can add drama to kids' rooms and also give them an excitement. Ms. Keenan adds a shelf to store books or a reading light in each sleeping nook to make bunk beds more attractive to children.
A lot 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 at some point. Pick from finishes such as the brushed gray, creamy white and rich walnut.
Stairs or Ladders
If you're looking for best bunk bed beds for kids you can choose to select between stairs or ladders. Ladders are more affordable and easy to set up and provide a straightforward means of climbing into the bed at the top. They are also more secure than stairs since they provide a greater surface area for children to walk on and have an integrated handrail. Ladders also usually have grooves on the steps, which prevent slippage when climbing up or down the bed.
However, if you prefer the look and design of stairs, they can be a more elegant addition to your bunk bed. Staircases are also great for rooms that are limited on space, as they don't protrude into the space like ladders do. They are often constructed of metal or wood and can be a great match for the various styles of bedrooms. Some staircases have integrated storage drawers that are a great way to increase the size of a bunk bed.
Another thing to consider when deciding between stairs or a ladder is the age of your child. While it is recommended that no one sleeps on the top bunk before the age of 6, older children who are comfortable with climbing vertically might be better off using stairs than a ladder. If you are planning to use your bunk bed to accommodate guests, for example, younger children or adults who have limitations in mobility, it's recommended to use stairs.
A straight staircase that runs along the sides of the buy bunk bed requires a minimum of 95" of space on each side. If you don't have enough space, you can opt for a u shaped staircase which doesn't require as much space but allows you to get access to the top bunk in a safe and securely. Certain beds offer the option of distancing the stairs when not in use, which further reduces their footprint and makes them more suited for multipurpose rooms. You can also find stairs that connect to the top of the bed. This eliminates the requirement for separate handrails and makes it easier to climb up and to the bottom for kids.
Guard Rails
Guard rails give kids the confidence and the freedom to climb in and out of beds on their own. But they must be positioned properly, making sure that there are no gaps or sagging occurs between the guard rails and the bed frame. If you decide to install guard rails, be sure to follow the directions of the manufacturer and examine them on a regular basis for any holes or looseness that could lead to an entrapment.
Keep bunk beds out of electrical appliances and other objects that could be projectiles while your children are playing or sleeping. Make sure you place bunks away from windows, which could be a danger to fall in the event that children climb on the top floor.
One safety feature you might be considering is a night lighting for the ladder; it will help to illuminate the ladder's path up and down in the event that children awake at night and need to go to the bathroom, or wake up during a storm and need to make their way from their bedroom in a safe manner.
Another great safety feature for bunks is a safety net which can be installed on the top level to prevent children from falling down while asleep or playing. This is a great idea for older kids bunk beds, who are more likely to sleep on the top bunk.
The guardrails must be securely attached to the bunk beds. They cannot be removed without tools. The openings in the guardrails over the mattress foundation should not be more than 3.5 inches to prevent strangulation and entrapment. To test this, insert the wedge block shown in Figure 1 into each of the openings on the lower edge of the uppermost guardrail member and above the underside of the mattress foundation. Then apply a 33-lbf (147-N) force in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the largest end of the block, and sustain it for 1 minute.
It's also a good idea to teach youngsters not to hang anything on the guardrails or ladder such as belts, clothing and sports equipment; instead a rack for clothes is recommended to ensure that the objects don't become a strangulation hazard for your child(ren). Be sure that not more than one child sleeps on the top bunk. This could lead to a risky imbalance and even falls.
Mattresses
Consider your child's age and size when choosing a mattress for bunk beds. A bunk mattress will last for at least eight years or until siblings are no longer sharing bedrooms, so you'll want to choose a mattress that is designed to grow with your child while still providing adequate support as they grow older.
There are a myriad of options for bunk mattress sizes. They are typically twin or full size. If your child suffers from allergies or asthma choose a hypoallergenic mattress with a dust mite barrier and a moisture-wicking cover. Mattresses with an antimicrobial coating will shield the foam from harmful bacteria and germs.
Another important consideration is the mattress's feel. Children are generally heavier than adults and require mattresses that are firm, yet comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattress have a firm side and a softer side to meet the needs of both children.
Memory foam mattresses are a good choice for kids but we don't recommend them as they tend not to cool effectively and can be hard on the spines of small children. You should consider a hybrid or a latex mattress instead, which will provide solid support and cooling infusions that will ensure that your child or guest asleep cool and comfortable.
A mattress with a low profile is usually the best bunk choice for children's bunk beds. They are designed to be smaller than standard mattresses and increase the height of the safety rail for the top bunk. They minimize "filler" material to provide premium quality with a slim design.
Consider an innerspring model or hybrid that has upper comfort layers which can be removed and replaced as your child develops. These models will give you an idea of how the mattress will hold up as your child grows and you can always add an extra mattress skirt or mattress pad to prevent it from sliding off the frame. Some mattresses have side rails or a lip that are built-in to stop this.
Storage
Bunk beds can be a great way to make space in shared kids rooms. Bunk beds can also be a cheaper alternative to buying two full-sized single beds. Some bunks offer the option of adding a trundle bed that can be hidden under the bunk that is not in use.
You might want to consider installing a bedroom for your child furniture combination set that includes bookshelves, desks, or dressers to maximize storage and space in a room with a bunk bed. This will allow you to keep all your child's personal belongings including toys, clothing and clothes in one spot without cramming them into overstuffed closets or chests. These combination kids bedroom furniture sets are available from a number of retailers and typically meet all federal safety standards.
Stacking bunks can be an ideal playground for children and children can transform the spaces below into secret places to play or cozy areas. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked six bunks to create the ultimate children' space. It can be used for sleeping, playing or even for superhero cape twirling. The room features the bubble wallcovering of Chasing Paper and a ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to create the ultimate getaway.
If you cannot install an stairwell to your bunk beds then a ladder is a simple alternative. They are constructed with a single socket, Flange, and 90 Degree Side Outlet Fittings. They can be easily adjusted to increase or decrease the distance between ladder rungs. The rungs of the ladder are also positioned 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 floor is another way to maximize space in the bunk bedroom. This lets you slide dressers, desks, or toy chests underneath the elevated beds. This is an excellent way to maximize space in bedrooms that are small, or in large family homes where beds have to be sufficient for multiple people to sleep.
