Kids Beds Bunk

Bunk beds provide drama to children's rooms and provide the feeling of adventure. Ms. Keenan adds a shelf to hold books or a reading lamp in each sleeping nook to make bunk beds more appealing to children.

Ladders or Stairs

You can pick between ladders or stairs when you are choosing bunk beds for children. Ladders are more affordable and easy to install, and they provide an easy method of climbing into the top bunk. They are also more secure than stairs because they offer a larger area for children to walk on and have a handrail that is integrated. They also have grooves in the steps which prevent slippage when climbing up or down the bed.

If you like the design and appearance of stairs, they could make an elegant addition to your bunk bed. Staircases are also great for rooms that are tight on space, as they don't extend into the space like ladders do. They are often constructed of metal or wood and can complement a variety of bedroom styles. Some staircases have integrated storage drawers that can be an ideal way to expand the space of a bunk bed.

When deciding between a ladder and stairs, you should also consider the age of your child. It is recommended that children under 6 years old should not be sleeping on the top bunk. Children older than 6 years old who are able to climb vertically may do better with stairs rather than a ladder. If you plan to use your bunk bed for guests, for example, older children or adults with limited mobility, it's best to use stairs.

A straight staircase on the side of the bed will require 95" of space on either side. If you don't have enough space, you can choose a u shaped staircase which doesn't require as much room however it still allows you to access the top bunk in a safe and safely. Certain beds offer the option of distancing the stairs when not being used, which reduces their footprint and makes them more versatile for multipurpose rooms. There are also stairs that connect to the top of the bed. This eliminates the requirement for separate handrails and makes it easier to climb up and down to the bottom for children.

Guard Rails

Guard rails give children the confidence and the freedom to climb into and out of bed on their own. They must be placed correctly to ensure there are no gaps or loosening between the guardrails and the bed's frame. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer 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 entrapment.

One of the most important safety considerations for childrens bunk bed beds is to keep them free from electrical devices and other objects that could be projectiles when your kids play or sleep. Position bunk beds away from windows to avoid the risk of falling when your children climb up on the upper level.

You may want to install an evening light on the ladder to light the ladder's climb and descent when your child awakes at the end of the night to use the bathroom, or if they wake up due to an erupting storm and have to leave their room.

Another great security feature for bunk beds is a safety net, that can be put up on the top level to keep children from falling over when they're asleep or playing. This is a great idea, particularly for older children who tend to sleep on the top bunk.

The guardrails must be securely attached to the bunk beds and can't be removed without tools. The guardrail openings that are above the mattress foundation should not be larger than 3.5 inches wide to prevent entrapment or strangulation. The wedge block is placed in Figure 1 in every opening in the uppermost guardrail member and above the mattress foundation. Apply 33 lbf (147 N) in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the large edge of the block for a minute.

It is a good idea to instruct your children not to hang any items on the ladder or guardrail for example, belts, clothes, or sports equipment. Instead, you should use a clothes rack to prevent these objects from becoming a strangulation risk for your child. Also, make sure that more than one kid should not sleep on the top floor of the bunk, as this can create a dangerous imbalance which may cause falling.

Mattresses

Take into consideration the age and size of your child when selecting a mattress for a bunk bed.

If your kiddos suffer from allergies or asthma, opt for a hypoallergenic mattress with dust mite barriers and a cover that wicks moisture. A mattress with an antimicrobial coating will shield the foam from harmful bacteria and germs.

Another factor to consider is the feeling of your mattress. Children weigh less than adults, so they require a mattress that feels firm but is also comfortable. A lot of hybrid and latex mattresses have one side that is firm and the other soft side that can accommodate both children's needs.

Memory foam mattresses are good for children, but we wouldn't recommend them as they tend not to cool properly and could be hard on the spines of infant children. You should consider a hybrid or a latex mattress instead, which will provide solid support and cooling infusions that will keep your child or guest resting cool and comfortable.

Low-profile mattresses are usually the best choice for bunk beds for children. These are designed to be slimmer than standard mattresses and increase safety rail height for the top bunk. They minimize "filler" material to offer premium quality with slim lines.

If your child is looking to try a mattress more substantial than a standard mattress, think about an hybrid or innerspring mattress with upper comfort layers that can be removed or replaced as your child develops. These models will give you a clear idea of how the mattress will stand up as your child grows and you can always add an extra mattress pad or bed skirt to keep it from sliding off the frame. Some mattresses have side rails or a lip built in to prevent this.
