Stairs and Ladders

Another thing to consider when deciding between stairs or a ladder is 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 are able to climb vertically could prefer stairs than climbing a ladder.

If you don't have this much room, you can choose a u-shaped staircase that doesn't need as much space but still offers a secure and safe method of getting to the top bunk. Some beds have the option of detaching the stairs when they're not being used, which reduces their footprint and makes them more versatile for multipurpose rooms. You can also find 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 Rails

Guard rails let children climb in and out of their beds independently, giving them an experience of independence and confidence. However, they must be placed properly, making sure that there are no gaps or sagging occurs between the rails of the guard and bed frame.

The guardrails must be secured to the bunk beds and cannot be removed without tools. The openings in the guardrail above the mattress base must not be more than 3.5 inches wide to prevent strangulation or entrapment. Place the wedge block shown in Figure 1 in every opening in the uppermost guardrail member, and above the mattress foundation. Apply 33 lbf (147 N) in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the larger edge of the block for 1 minute.

Mattresses
