Many of our bunk beds for Kids L Shaped Bunk Beds can be transformed into two twin beds. This is ideal if your plan is to make them move to their own bedroom in the near future. Pick from finishes like brushed gray, creamy white and rich walnut.

Ladders or Stairs

You can choose between stairs and ladders when you are choosing bunk beds for children. Ladders can be easily installed and are less expensive. They also offer an easy way to climb into the top bunk bed. They are more secure than stairs, since they provide a greater surface area for children to walk on, and also have an integrated handrail. Ladders also usually have grooves on the steps, which prevent slippage when climbing up or down the bed.

If you like the design and appearance of stairs they could make an elegant addition to your bunk bed. They can also be used in rooms that are small as they aren't as imposing as ladders. They can be made from wood or metal, and they can match a wide range of bedroom styles. Some staircases are even equipped with storage drawers. These are ideal for adding more space to the bunk bed.

Another thing to take into consideration when choosing between stairs and a ladder is the age of your child. While it is recommended no one sleeps on the top bunk before the age of 6, older children who are comfortable with climbing vertically might be better off using stairs rather than a ladder. If you are planning to use your bunk bed for guests, such as younger children or adults who have limited mobility, it's best bunk beds for kids to choose stairs.

A straight staircase that runs along the side of the bed requires 95" of space each side. If you don't have the space, you could opt for an u-shaped staircase that doesn't require as much space, however it still allows you to access the top bunk in a safe and securely. Some beds allow you to detach the stairs when not being used. This reduces the footprint of the bed, making it more adaptable to multi-purpose spaces. You can also find stairs that connect to the top of the bed. This eliminates the need for separate handrails, and makes it easier to climb up and to the bottom for kids.

Guard Rails

Guard rails allow kids to climb into and out of their beds independently, giving them an experience of freedom and confidence. They must be placed correctly to ensure that there aren't any gaps or loosening between guardrails and the frame of the bed. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer when installing guard rails, and ensure that you inspect them on a regular basis to ensure they are not loose or have holes that could lead to trapping.

Keep bunk beds clear of electrical appliances and other things that could become projectiles when your children are playing or sleeping. Position bunk beds away from windows to avoid an injury to fall risk in the event that your children are on the upper floor.

You may want to install a nightlight on the ladder to light the ladder's climb and descent if your child wakes at night to use the bathroom, or are awakened by a storm to leave their room.

A safety net could be placed on top of the bunk to keep children from falling off while they sleep or play. This is especially a good idea for older children, who may be more likely to sleep on the top bunk.

The guardrails should be secured to the bunk beds. They cannot be removed without tools. The openings in the guardrails that are above the mattress foundation should not be greater than 3.5 inches to prevent entrapment and strangulation. The wedge block is placed on Figure 1 in every opening in the uppermost guardrail member, and above the mattress foundation. Apply a force of 33 lbf (147 N) in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the larger edge of the block for 1 minute.

It's also a good idea to teach kids bunkbed not to hang anything on the ladders or guardrails for example, such as clothing, belts and sports equipment; instead, a clothes rack is recommended to ensure that these objects aren't a strangulation risk for your child(ren). Also, make sure that more than one child does not sleep on the top level of the bunk, since this could create a dangerous imbalance which may result in falling.

Mattresses

Take into consideration the age and size of your child when selecting a mattress to fit a bunk beds. A bunk mattress should last at least eight years or until the children are no longer sharing a bedroom. You should select one that can grow with your child, and still provide enough comfort as they get older.

There are a variety of bunk mattress sizes. They are typically twin or full size. If your child is suffering from asthma or allergies, choose a hypoallergenic bed with an anti-dust barrier and a moisture-wicking cover. Kids tend to have many accidents and spills, so a mattress that has an antimicrobial layer can help keep the foam safe from harmful bacteria and germs.

Another crucial aspect to consider is the mattress's feel. Children are typically heavier than adults and require a mattress which is firm, yet comfortable. Many latex and hybrid mattresses come with one side that is firm and the other soft side to meet children's needs.

Memory foam mattresses are great for children, but we wouldn't recommend them because they tend not to cool effectively and can be a strain on the spines of small children. Consider a hybrid or latex mattress instead, which offer solid support and cooling infusions to ensure your child or guest is asleep cool and comfortable.

Low-profile mattresses are usually the best choice for bunk beds for children. These are designed to be smaller than regular mattresses and to increase safety rail height for the top bunk. They also minimize "filler" materials to offer premium quality in a slim design.

Consider an innerspring model or hybrid with upper comfort layers that can be removed and replaced as your child develops. These models can give you an idea of the durability of the mattress as your child grows. You can also include an extra bed skirt or mattress pad to prevent it from sliding. Some beds even have side rails or a lip built-in to stop this from happening.

Storage

Stacked bunks can become an imaginative playground as children can transform the spaces underneath into cosy hidden play areas and hideaway spaces.
