+Kids Beds Bunk
+
+Bunk beds add drama to kids' rooms and provide an excitement. To make bunks more appealing to children, Ms. Keenan often includes a ledge to hold books or a reading lamp in each sleeping space.
+
+Many of our bunk beds for kids can be converted into two twin beds. This is ideal for those who plan to move them into their own bedroom in the near future. Choose from finishes like brushed white, gray and rich walnut.
+
+Ladders or Stairs
+
+You can pick between ladders or stairs when choosing bunk beds for children. Ladders are less expensive and simple to put in and offer a straightforward means of climbing into the top bunk. They are also considered to be safer than staircases, as they have a wider area for  [bunkbedsstore](https://www.bunkbedsstore.uk/) children to step on and a built-in handrail. Ladders also tend to have grooves on the steps which can prevent slippage while climbing up or down the bed.
+
+If you prefer the design and appearance of stairs, then they can make an elegant addition to your bunk bed. They can also be used in rooms with limited space since they aren't as imposing as ladders. They can be constructed of metal or wood and are able to match an array of bedroom styles. Some staircases have integrated storage drawers that are a great way to increase the size of a bunk bed.
+
+When deciding between a ladder or stairs it is important to consider the age of your child. It is recommended that children under 6 years old should not be sleeping on the top bunk. Older children who can climb vertically might do better with stairs rather than using a ladder. Also should you be planning on using your bunk bed as a guest bed for younger children or for adults with a limited mobility stairs are the best choice.
+
+A straight staircase on the opposite side of the bed will require 95" of space each side. If you don't have that much space, you could choose 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 allow you to remove the stairs when they are not in use. This reduces the size of the bed and makes it more suited to multi-purpose spaces. 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 to the bottom for kids.
+
+Guard Rails
+
+Guard rails let children climb in and out of their beds without assistance and give them an experience of independence and confidence. However, they must be set properly, ensuring that there aren't any gaps or loosening occurs between the rails of the guard and bed frame. If you decide to use guard rails, make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions and check them frequently for any looseness or holes that could lead to entrapment.
+
+One of the most important safety considerations for bunk beds is to keep them free from electrical devices and any other items that could become projectiles while your children play or sleep. Place bunk beds away from windows to prevent a potential fall hazard if your children get up on the top level.
+
+You may want to install a nightlight on the ladder to light the ladder's climb and descent 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 bedroom.
+
+Another great safety feature for bunks is a safety net which can be placed on the top of the bunk to stop children from falling down while they are asleep or playing. This is especially a good idea for older children who may be more likely to sleep in the top bunk.
+
+The guardrails must be secured to the bunk beds and can't be removed without tools. The openings in the guardrails over the mattress foundation must not be larger than 3.5 inches to avoid entrapment and strangulation. To test this, insert the wedge block in Figure 1 into each opening in the lower edge of the uppermost guardrail member and above the underside of the mattress foundation. Then apply a 33-lbf (147-N) force in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the large end of the block and maintain it for a period of 1 minute.
+
+It is a good idea to instruct your children not to hang any items on the ladder or guardrail, such as clothing, belts, and sports equipment. Instead, you should use an organized rack to keep these objects from becoming a strangulation risk for your child. Make sure that no more than one child is sleeping on the top bunk. This could result in a risky imbalance and even falls.
+
+Mattresses
+
+When selecting a mattress for bunk beds, think about your child's size and age. A bunk mattress should last for at least eight years, or until siblings are no longer sharing bedrooms, so you'll want to select a mattress designed to grow with your child and still provide adequate support as they get older.
+
+There are a myriad of options for bunk mattress sizes. They are typically full or twin size. If your children suffer from asthma or allergies choose an allergy-free mattress with dust mite barriers and an wicking cover for moisture. A mattress with an antimicrobial layer will protect the foam against harmful bacteria and germs.
+
+The feel of your mattress is also important. Children weigh less than adults, so they require mattresses that feel firm but is also comfortable. A lot of hybrid and latex mattresses have a firm and a soft side to accommodate the needs of both children and adults.
+
+Memory foam mattresses are great for kids but we don't recommend them as they tend not to cool effectively and can be hard on the spines of infant children. Consider a latex or hybrid mattress that provides solid support and cooling infusions for your guest or child to sleep comfortably.
+
+Low-profile mattresses are typically the ideal choice for bunk beds for children. They are designed to be less bulky than standard mattresses, and maximize the safety rail's height on the top bunk. They also minimize "filler" materials to offer the highest quality in a slim design.
+
+You can consider an innerspring or hybrid with upper comfort layers that can be removed and replaced as your child grows. These models can provide you with an idea of the durability of the mattress as your child grows. You can also put in a mattress skirt or bed pad to stop it from sliding. Some beds even have built-in lip or side rails to prevent this from happening.
+
+Storage
+
+Bunk beds are a great option to free up space in shared kids rooms. They also can be a cheaper alternative to purchasing two separate single beds. A lot of bunks have the option to add a trundle, which can be placed under the bunk that is not being used.
+
+To maximize storage and space in a room that has bunk beds, you should consider installing a combination kids bedroom furniture set that includes desks, dressers or bookcases. This will allow you to keep all your child's clothing as well as toys and personal belongings in one location instead of stuffing everything into overstuffed closets or chests. These sets of bedroom furniture are sold from a variety of retailers. They meet federal safety standards.
+
+Stacked bunks can become a playground for the imagination as kids can turn the space beneath into cozy hideaways and secret play zones. Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked 6 bunks in this room to create the ultimate space for kids that can be used for sleeping, playing 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 a simple alternative. They are constructed using a combination of Single Socket Tee Flange, Single Socket Tee, and 90 Degree Side Outlet Tee fittings. They can be easily adjusted to alter the distance between ladder rungs to make it easier for toddlers to climb. The rungs of the ladder are also positioned so that they are flush with the ground rather than above it, to make climbing less daunting.
+
+The installation of loft beds that can be lowered to just above the ground is another method to maximize the space of a bunk bed room. This allows you to slide desks, dressers and toy chests under the elevated beds. This is a great method to maximize space in small bedrooms, or in large family homes where beds need to be capable of accommodating multiple sleepers.
