Kids Beds Bunk
Bunk beds add drama to kids' rooms and provide the feeling of adventure. To make bunk beds more appealing to kids Ms. Keenan often includes a bookcase or a reading lamp in every sleeping space.
Many of our kids beds can be converted into two complete twin beds which is ideal if you intend to let your children move to their own bedrooms in the near future. Choose from finishes like brushed gray, cream white and rich walnut.
Stairs and Ladders
When choosing kids beds bunk, you have the option to pick between ladders or stairs. Ladders are more affordable and easy to install and provide a straightforward means of climbing into the top bed. They are also considered to be safer than staircases, because they have a bigger area for children to step on and a built-in handrail. Ladders usually have grooves in the steps to avoid slips when climbing up and down the bed.
If you prefer the style and appearance of stairs they could be a more elegant addition for your bunk bed. Staircases can also be used in rooms with limited space as they do not protrude like ladders. They are typically constructed of metal or wood and can be a great match for a variety of bedroom styles. Some staircases come with storage drawers that are an ideal way to expand the size of a bunk bed.
Another thing to take into consideration when deciding between stairs or a ladder is the age of your child. While it is recommended that no one sleep on the top bunk before the age of 6, older children who are comfortable with vertical climbing may be better off with stairs rather than a ladder. If you are planning to use your double bunk beds for kids bed for guests, such as older children or adults who have 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 either side. If you don't have this much space, you can opt for a u-shaped stairs which doesn't require as much space, but provides a safe and secure method of getting to the top bunk. Some beds allow you to remove the stairs when they are not being used. This reduces the footprint of the bed, making it more adaptable to multi-purpose spaces. You can also find stairs that connect to the ends of the bed, which eliminates the need for a separate handrail, and makes it easier for children to climb up and down.
Guard Rails
Guard rails provide children with the confidence and freedom to climb in and out of bed independently. However, they must be placed correctly, ensuring that no gaps or sagging occurs between the guard rails and the bed frame. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines when installing guard rails, and make sure to inspect them on a regular basis to ensure they are not loose or have holes that could lead to the entrapment.
Keep bunk beds out of electrical appliances and other things that could be projectiles while your children are playing or sleeping. Place bunk beds away from windows to prevent the risk of falling if your children get up on the upper level.
One safety feature you might want to consider is a night light for the ladder; it will help illuminate the path up and down in the event that children awake at night to go to the bathroom or get woken during a storm and need to make their way out of their rooms safely.
Another great safety feature for bunks is a safety net, which can be installed on the top level to keep children from falling over while they are asleep or playing. This is a great idea particularly for older children who are more likely to sleep on the top bunk.
Guardrails must be securely attached to the bunk bed's structure and must not be removed without the use of tools. The openings in the guardrail above the mattress base must not be more than 3.5 inches wide to avoid strangulation or entrapment. To test this, place the wedge block as shown in Figure 1 into each of the openings on the lower edge of the highest member of the guardrail 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 larger end of the block and sustain it for 1 minute.
It's also recommended to teach kids bunk beds with mattress not to hang things on the ladders or guardrails such as belts, clothing and sports equipment. Instead a clothes rack is recommended to ensure that these items aren't a strangulation risk for your child(ren). Also, make sure that more than one kid is not sleeping on the top floor of the bunk, since this could create an unsafe imbalance that could lead to falling.
Mattresses
When selecting a mattress 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 the same bedroom So, you'll want to select a mattress designed to grow with your child, while providing sufficient support as they grow older.
There are many options for bunk mattress sizes. They are typically full or twin size. If your child suffers from asthma or allergies, opt for a hypoallergenic mattress with a dust mite barrier as well as an wicking cover for moisture. A mattress with an antimicrobial coating will shield the foam against harmful bacteria and germs.
The feeling of your mattress is also important. Children are generally heavier than adults, and require a mattress which is firm, yet comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattress have a firm side and a soft side to accommodate the needs of both children and adults.
Memory foam mattresses are a good choice for kids, but we don't recommend them due to their tendency not to cool effectively and can be a strain on the spines of small children. You should consider a hybrid or a latex mattress instead, which will provide solid support with cooling infusions that will keep your child or guest asleep cool and comfortable.
Low-profile mattresses are typically the best option for bunk beds for children. They are designed to be smaller than regular mattresses and to increase the height of the safety rails for the top bunk. They also reduce "filler" materials to offer top quality and a slim design.
Consider an innerspring model or a hybrid with upper comfort layers that can be removed and replaced as your child develops. These models will give you a good idea of how the mattress will perform as your child grows, and you can always add an extra mattress pad or bed skirt to prevent it from sliding off the frame. Some beds have a built-in lip or side rails to stop this from happening.

Bunk beds are an excellent option to make space in shared rooms for children. They can also be an affordable alternative to buying two separate, full-sized single beds. Many bunks offer the option to add a trundle that can be placed under the bunk that is not in use.
Consider installing a kids bedroom furniture set that includes desks, bookcases, and/or dressers to maximize storage space in a room with a bunk bed. This will allow you to keep all of your child's clothes as well as toys and personal belongings in one location instead of stuffing everything into overstuffed chests or closets. These combination kids bunkbed bedroom furniture sets are available from a range of retailers and typically meet all federal safety standards.
Stacking bunks can be an opportunity for creativity as kids can transform the spaces below into hidden hideaways or cosy play areas. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked 6 bunks in this room for the ultimate space for kids triple bunk beds that can be used to sleep, play and even superhero cape twirls. 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 construct an stairwell to your bunk beds, a ladder is an option. 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 toddlers to climb. The ladder's rungs are also placed in a way that they are directly in contact with the ground, rather than above it, so that climbing is less intimidating.
Another method to maximize space in a room with bunk bed kids beds is to install loft kids beds which can be lowered to just above the floor. This lets you slide desks, dressers and toy chests directly under the elevated beds. This is an excellent way to maximize space in small bedrooms or large family homes where beds need to be sufficient for multiple people to sleep.
