Kids Beds Bunk Bunk beds can add drama and adventure to a child's space. To make bunk beds more appealing to children, Ms. Keenan often includes a shelf to store books or a reading lamp in every sleeping space. A lot of our kids' beds can be converted into two complete twin beds ideal if you are planning to let your children move into their own bedrooms in the near future. Pick from finishes like brushed gray, cream white and rich walnut. Ladders or Stairs You can pick between ladders or stairs when you are choosing bunk beds for children. Ladders are less expensive and easy to set up and offer a straightforward means of climbing into the bed at the top. They are also considered to be safer than staircases, because they have a bigger surface for children to step on and a built-in handrail. Ladders often have grooves in the steps to prevent slips when climbing up and down the bed. If you prefer the style and appearance of stairs they could make a more elegant addition for your bunk bed. Staircases are also great for rooms that are small in space since they don't extend into the space like ladders do. They are often made of metal or wood and can be a great match for various styles of bedrooms. Some staircases come with storage drawers that are a great way to increase the space of a bunk bed. Another factor to consider when choosing between stairs and a ladder is the age of your child. It is recommended that no one sleeps on the top bunk before the age of 6, older children who are comfortable with vertical climbing might be better off using stairs than a ladder. Additionally when you're thinking of using your bunk bed as a guest bed for younger children or adults who have limited mobility stairs are the best choice. A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bunk requires a minimum of 95” of space on each side. If you don't have that space, you can opt for a u-shaped staircase that doesn't require as much space but still offers a secure and safe method of getting to the top bunk. Some beds come with the option of removing the stairs when they're 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 to the bottom for kids. Guard Rails Guard rails let children climb in and out of their beds without assistance and provide them with an experience of freedom and confidence. They must be placed correctly to ensure that there aren't any gaps or loosening between the guardrails and the bed frame. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing guard rails, and be sure to examine them regularly to ensure they are not loose or have holes that could result in trapping. One of the most important safety concerns for bunk beds is to ensure they are kept away from electrical devices and any other objects that could turn into projectiles while your children play or sleep. Position bunk beds away from windows to avoid the risk of falling if your children get up on the top level. You may want to install an evening light on the ladder to light the steps up and down in the event that your child gets up at night to use the bathroom, or are awakened by an erupting storm and have to leave their room. Another excellent security feature for bunk beds is a safety net which can be installed at the top to stop children from falling over while they are asleep or playing. This is a great idea especially for older children who are more likely to sleep on the top bunk. Guardrails should be secured to the bunk bed structure and not removed without the use of tools. The openings in the guardrails that are above the mattress foundation must not be greater than 3.5 inches to prevent entrapment and strangulation. To test this, insert the wedge block in Figure 1 into each opening in the lower edge of the highest guardrail member and above the underside of the mattress foundation. Apply a force of 33 lbf (147 N) in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the largest edge of the block for one minute. It's a good idea tell your children not to hang any objects on the ladder or guardrail, such as belts, clothing, and sports equipment. Instead you should utilize an organized rack to keep the objects from creating an injury to your child. Be sure that no more than one child sleeps on the top bunk. This can lead to an unsafe imbalance and fall. Mattresses Consider your child's age and size when selecting a mattress to fit a bunk beds. A bunk mattress should last at the least eight years or until siblings are no longer sharing bedrooms. You should select one that will grow with your child and still provide adequate comfort as they age. There are many options for bunk mattress sizes. They are usually full or twin size. If bunkbedsstore.uk suffer from allergies or asthma choose 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. Another factor to consider is the feeling of your mattress. Children are typically heavier than adults, and require mattresses that are firm, yet comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattresses have one side that is firm and the other soft side to accommodate both children's requirements. Memory foam mattresses can be great for children However, they're not the first choice since they can trap heat and may be too difficult on spines of young children. Think about a hybrid or a latex mattress instead, which offer strong support with cooling infusions that will keep your child or guest asleep cool and comfortable. A low-profile mattress is often the best option for kids bunk beds. These mattresses are designed to be smaller than regular mattresses, and maximize the safety rail height of the top bunk. They also minimize “filler” materials to provide the highest quality in a slim design. You can consider an innerspring or hybrid with upper comfort layers which can be removed and replaced as your child grows. These models will give you an idea of how the mattress will stand up as your child grows and you can always put in an extra mattress pad or bed skirt to stop it from sliding off the frame. Some mattresses have side rails or a lip built-in to prevent this. Storage Bunk beds are a great alternative to save space in shared children's rooms. Bunk beds can also be a cheaper alternative to purchasing two large single beds. Many bunks also offer the option of adding a trundle bed which can be hidden beneath the bunk that is not being used. To maximize storage and space in a room that has bunk beds, consider installing a mix kids bedroom furniture set that includes dressers, desks and/or bookcases. This will let you keep all your child's personal belongings, clothing and toys in one place without cramming them into overstuffed closets or chests. These combination kids bedroom furniture sets are available from a number of retailers and usually meet all federal safety standards. Stacking bunks can be an ideal playground for children as kids can transform the spaces below into hidden places to play or cozy areas. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked six bunks to create the ultimate children' space. It can be used as a place for sleeping, playing or even for twirling superhero capes. The room is decorated with the bubble wallcovering of Chasing Paper and a ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to create the ultimate escape. If you are unable to build a staircase to your stacked bunk beds, a ladder is an option. They are constructed with a combination Single Socket, Flange, and 90 Degree Side Outlet Fittings. They can be easily adjusted in order to increase or decrease the distance between the ladder rungs. The rungs of the ladder are also placed so that they're in line with the ground rather than above it, to make climbing less intimidating. Another way to maximize space in a room with bunk beds is to put up loft kids beds that can be moved down to just above the floor. This allows you to slide dressers, desks, or toy chests beneath the beds that are elevated. 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.
