Many of our kids beds bunk are convertible to two twin beds in one, perfect if you plan to have your children move to their own bedrooms in the near future. Pick from finishes like brushed gray, cream white and rich walnut.

Ladders and Stairs

If you're looking for bunk beds for kids there is the option to select between stairs or ladders. Ladders are more affordable and simple to put in and provide a straightforward means of climbing into the top bunk. They are more secure than stairs, since they provide a greater surface for children to walk on and include an integrated handrail. There are grooves on the steps to avoid slips when climbing up and down the bed.

If you like the design and appearance of stairs they could be an elegant addition to your bunk bed. Staircases can also be utilized in rooms with limited space as they do not protrude like ladders. They can be constructed from wood or metal and are able to match the wide variety of bedroom designs. Some staircases have integrated storage drawers which can be an excellent way to expand the size of bunk beds.

Another thing to take into consideration when deciding between stairs and a ladder is the age of your child. It is recommended that no one sleep on the top bunk before the age of 6, children who are comfortable with climbing vertically may be better off with stairs than a ladder. Additionally should you be planning on using your bunk bed as an extra bed for children or for adults with a mobility issues, stairs are the preferred choice.

A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bed will require 95" of space on each side. If you do not have enough space, you could opt for a u shaped staircase which doesn't require as much space, but still allows you to reach the top bunk in a safe and safely. Certain beds let you disconnect the stairs when they're not in use. This reduces the footprint of the bed, making it more adaptable to multi-purpose spaces. There are also staircases that connect to the bottom of the bed and eliminate the need for a separate handrail, and makes it easier for children to climb up and down.

Guard Rails

Guard rails let kids climb in and out of their beds independently and give them a sense of independence and security. They must be placed correctly to ensure there aren't any gaps or loosening in between the guardrails and the bed's frame. If you choose to use guard rails, make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions and check them regularly for any holes or looseness that could lead to the entrapment.

Keep bunk beds away from electrical appliances and other objects that can become projectiles while your children are playing or sleeping. Make sure you place bunks away from windows, as they could be a danger to fall when children climb up to the top level.

A safety feature you may be considering is a night light for the ladder. it will help illuminate the path up and down in the event that children wake at night to go to the bathroom or get woken during a storm, and need to make their way out of their room in a safe manner.

Another great security feature for best rated bunk beds beds is a safety net that can be put up on the top level to keep children from falling off when they're asleep or playing. This is a great idea especially 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 tools. The openings in the guardrail above the mattress foundation should not be more than 3.5 inches wide to prevent strangulation or entrapment. To test this, place the wedge block shown in Figure 1 into each of the openings on the lower edge of the uppermost member of the guardrail and above the mattress's underside foundation. Then apply 33-lbf (147-N) force in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the largest end of the block, and keep it there for 1 minute.

It's a good idea to inform your children to not hang any objects on the guardrail or ladder, such as belts, clothes, or sports equipment. Instead you should utilize an organized rack to keep these items from becoming a strangulation risk for your child. Also, ensure that more than one kid is not sleeping on the top of the bunk as this could cause an unsafe imbalance that could result in falls.

Mattresses

When choosing a mattress for bunk beds, consider your child's size and age. A bunk mattress will last for at least eight years, or until siblings no longer share the same bedroom, so you'll want to select a mattress designed to grow with your child, while providing adequate support as they grow older.

There are many options for bunk mattress sizes. They are usually full or twin size. If your child suffers from allergies or asthma, opt for a hypoallergenic mattress with dust mite barriers and a cover that wicks moisture. Kids are likely to experience many accidents and spills, which is why a mattress that has an antimicrobial layer will protect the foam from harmful bacteria and germs.

Another factor to consider is the feel of your mattress. Children weigh less than adults, so they require an item that is firm but also comfortable. Many hybrid and latex mattresses come with a firm side and a soft side to meet children's needs.

Memory foam mattresses are a good choice for kids, but we don't recommend them because they tend not to cool well and can be a strain on the spines of small children. You should consider a hybrid or a latex mattress instead, which offer solid support and cooling infusions to ensure that your child or guest asleep cool and comfortable.

Low-profile mattresses are usually the ideal choice for bunk beds for children. They are designed to be thinner than regular mattresses, and to maximize the safety rail's height on the top bunk. They also eliminate "filler" materials to offer premium quality in slim designs.

Think about an innerspring model or hybrid that has upper comfort layers which can be removed and replaced as your child grows. These models can provide an idea of the mattress's durability as your child grows. You can also add a mattress skirt or bed pad to stop it from sliding. Some beds come with a built-in lip or side rails to prevent this from happening.

Stores

Bunk beds can be the ideal option to free up space in shared kids rooms. They can also be a cost-effective alternative to purchasing two separate, full-sized single beds. Many bunks offer the option to add a trundle which can be tucked underneath the bottom bunk when not in use.

You might want to consider installing a bedroom for your child furniture combination set that includes bookcases, desks, and/or dressers to maximize storage space in a room that has a best childrens bunk beds bed. This will allow you to keep all of your child's personal belongings, clothing and toys in one place without cramming them into overstuffed chests or closets. These kids bedroom furniture sets are available from a variety of retailers and typically meet all federal safety standards.

Stacking bunks can be an ideal playground for children, as children can transform the spaces below into hidden spaces for play or cozy spaces. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked 6 bunks in this room for the ultimate space for kids that can be used to sleep, play and even twirling superhero capes. The room is decorated with a bubble wallcovering from Chasing Paper, and the ceiling is painted Benjamin Moore Blue Jean.

If you're unable to install stairs for your stacked kids bunk, a ladder can be an easy solution. The ladders are constructed with a combination of Single Socket Tee Flange, Single Socket Tee and 90 Degree Side Outlet Tee fittings and can be easily adjusted to alter the distance between ladder rungs to make it easier for children to climb. The ladder rungs are also positioned in a straight line with the ground rather than above to facilitate climbing.

Loft beds that can be lowered to just above the ground is another way to maximize space in the bunk bedroom. This allows you to move desks, dressers or toy chests right beneath the beds. This is an excellent way to maximize space in bedrooms that are small, or in large family homes where beds need to be capable of accommodating multiple sleepers.
