Kids Beds Bunk
Bunk beds add drama to kids' rooms and also give them the feeling of adventure. To make bunks more appealing to children Ms. Keenan often includes a ledge to hold books or a reading lamp in every sleeping nook.
A lot of our kids' beds bunks can be converted to two complete twin beds, perfect if you plan to let your children move into their own bedrooms at some point. Pick from finishes like white, brushed gray and rich walnut.
Stairs or ladders
You can choose between stairs or ladders when you are choosing bunk beds for children. Ladders can be easily installed and are less expensive. They also provide an easy way to climb into the top bunk bed. They are also considered to be safer than stairs, since they have a bigger surface for children to step on and a handrail built-in. They also have grooves in the steps which can prevent slippage while climbing up or down the bed.
However, if you prefer the design and style of stairs, they could be a more elegant option to your bunk bed. Staircases can also be utilized in rooms with limited space as they aren't as imposing as ladders. They are often made of wood or metal and can match various styles of bedrooms. Some staircases have integrated storage drawers, which are a great way to add more space saving bunk beds for kids to the bunk bed.
When deciding between a staircase and a ladder, you should also consider the age of your child. It is recommended that children younger than 6 years old should not be sleeping on the top bunk. Children older than 6 years old who can climb vertically may prefer stairs than climbing a ladder. Additionally when you're thinking of using your bunk bed as a guest bed for younger children or adults with mobility issues stairs are the best option.
A straight staircase on the opposite side of the bed will require 95" of space on either side. If you don't have that much space, you could opt for a u-shaped stairs that doesn't require as much space but still provides a safe and secure way to access the top bunk. Certain beds offer the option of removing the stairs when they're not in use, which reduces their footprint and makes them more suited for rooms that can be used in multiple ways. You can also find staircases that connect to the bottom of the bed and eliminate the requirement for a separate handrail and makes it easier for children to climb up and down.
Guard Rails
Guard rails let kids climb into and out of their beds without assistance and give them a sense of independence and security. They must be set in a proper way to ensure that there aren't any gaps or loosening in between the guardrails and the bed frame. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer when installing guard rails and ensure that you inspect them on a regular basis to ensure that they aren't loose or have holes that could result in entrapment.
Keep bunk beds out of electrical appliances and other items that can become projectiles while your children are playing or sleeping. Set bunk beds far from windows to avoid an injury to fall risk when your children climb up on the upper level.
You may want to install an evening light on the ladder so that it can illuminate the ladder's climb and descent if your child wakes at the night to go to the bathroom, or if they are awakened by a storm to leave their room.
A safety net could be put up on the top of the bunk to keep children from falling off while they are sleeping or playing. This is a great idea, especially for older children, who tend to sleep on the top bunk.
The guardrails must be secured to the bunk beds. They cannot be removed without tools. The openings in the guardrails that are above the mattress foundation must not be greater than 3.5 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 highest guardrail member and above the mattress's underside foundation. Apply an amount of 33 lbf (147 N) in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the larger edge of the block for 1 minute.
It's a good idea to inform your children to not hang any objects on the guardrail or ladder like belts, clothing, and sports equipment. Instead you should make use of a rack for clothes to stop these objects from becoming a strangulation risk for your child. Be sure that not more than one child sleeps on the top bunk. This could result in an unsafe imbalance and fall.
Mattresses

Another important consideration is the mattress's feel. Children are generally heavier than adults, and require an appropriate mattress that is firm, yet comfortable. A lot of hybrid and latex mattresses come with an extra firm side as well as a soft side that can accommodate both children's needs.
Memory foam mattresses can be great for children, but they're not our first recommendation because they tend to retain heat and could be too harsh on young spines. Think about a hybrid or latex mattress that provides solid support and cooling infusions for your child or guests to rest comfortably.
A mattress with a low profile is typically the best option for kids bunk bed bunk beds. These mattresses are designed to be less bulky than normal mattresses, and increase the safety rail's height on 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 clear idea of how the mattress will perform as your child grows and you can always add the mattress skirt or mattress pad to prevent it from sliding off the frame. Some beds even have side rails or a lip built-in to stop this from happening.
