Ladders are more affordable and easy to set up, and they provide an easy method of climbing into the bed at the top. They are also considered to be safer than staircases, as they have a wider area for children to step on and have a built-in handrail. Ladders usually have grooves in the steps to avoid slips when climbing up and down the bed.If you prefer the design and appearance of stairs they could be a more elegant addition for your bunk bed. Staircases can also be utilized in rooms with limited space as they do not protrude like ladders. They can be constructed of metal or wood and can be matched to a wide range of bedroom styles. Some staircases come with storage drawers that are an ideal way to expand the space of a bunk bed.Another factor to consider when deciding between stairs or a ladder is the age of your child. While it is recommended that no one sleep on the top bunk below the age of 6, children who are comfortable with climbing vertically might be better off using stairs than a ladder. In addition should you be planning on using your bunk bed as guest beds for smaller children or for adults with a mobility issues, stairs are the preferred option.A straight staircase along the sides of the bunk requires at least 95" of space on each side. If you don't have enough space, you can opt for the u-shaped stairs that does not require as much space, however it still allows you to get access to the top bunk in a safe and safely. Some beds have the option of distancing the stairs when they're not being used, which reduces their footprint and makes them more suitable for rooms that can be used in multiple ways. 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 RailsGuard rails give children the confidence and the freedom to climb in and out of beds on their own. They must be placed correctly to ensure that there are no gaps or loosening between the guardrails and the bed's frame.

This is a great idea especially for older children, who are more likely to sleep on the top bunk.The guardrails must be secured to the bunk beds and cannot be removed without tools. The guardrail openings above the mattress base should not be larger than 3.5 inches wide to avoid strangulation or entrapment. Place the wedge block shown on Figure 1 in each opening of the uppermost guardrail member and over the mattress foundation. Apply an amount of 33 lbf (147 N) in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the larger edge of the block for a minute.It is a good idea to inform your children to not hang any items on the guardrail or ladder like belts, clothing, and sports equipment. Instead you should utilize a rack for clothes to stop these items from becoming a strangulation hazard for your child. Also, ensure that more than one child does not sleep on the top of the bunk, as this could cause a dangerous imbalance which may cause falling.MattressesBe aware of the age and size of your child when selecting a mattress to fit a bunk beds.

They are typically twin or full size. If your child suffers from asthma or allergies, choose an allergy-free mattress that has a dust-mite barrier and moisture-wicking cover. Kids are likely to experience many spills and accidents, so mattresses with an antimicrobial layer will protect the foam from harmful bacteria and germs.The comfort of your mattress is important. Children weigh less than adults, so they need an item that is firm but also comfortable. A lot of hybrid and latex mattresses have one side that is firm and the other soft side to meet children's requirements.Memory foam mattresses are good for kids but we don't recommend them due to their tendency not to cool well and can be a strain on the spines of infant children. Think about a hybrid or latex mattress, which provides strong support and cooling infusions for your guest or child to sleep comfortably.Low-profile mattresses are typically the best choice for bunk beds for children. They are designed to be thinner than regular mattresses, and increase the safety rail's height on the top bunk. They also eliminate "filler" materials to offer the highest quality in a slim design.If your child wants to try a mattress that's thicker than a regular mattress, think about an hybrid or innerspring model with upper comfort layers that can be removed or replaced as the child grows. These models will provide an idea of the mattress's durability as your child grows. You can also include a bed skirt or mattress pad to stop it from sliding. Some beds even have side rails or a lip built-in to stop this from happening.StoresBunk beds are a great option to make space in rooms shared by children.

Many bunks also offer the option of adding a trundle bed which can be hidden under the bottom bunk when it is not in use.To maximize space and storage in a room with bunk beds, consider creating a kids' bedroom furniture set that includes desks, dressers or bookcases. This will allow you to keep all your child's clothing, toys and personal items in one place instead of stuffing everything into overstuffed closets or chests.

Designer Elizabeth Georgantas stacked six bunks to create the ultimate kids' space. It can be used for playing, sleeping or even for twirling superhero capes. The room is decorated with a bubble wallcovering by Chasing Paper and a ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to create the ultimate escape.If you cannot install an stairwell to your bunk beds then a ladder is a simple alternative. They are constructed using a combination of Single Socket Tee, Flange 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 rungs of the ladder are also positioned so that they are directly in contact with the ground, instead of above it, to make climbing less daunting.Another way to maximize space in a room with bunk beds is to put up loft beds for kids that can be lowered down to just above the floor. bunk bed for kids lets you slide dressers, desks or toy chests beneath the beds.
