Ladders and Stairs

When choosing kids beds bunk, you have the option to select between ladders or stairs. Ladders are less expensive and easy to set up and provide a straightforward means of climbing into the top bed. They are more secure than stairs, as they provide a wider surface area for children to walk on, and also have an integrated handrail. There are grooves on the steps to prevent slipping when climbing up and down the bed.

Staircases are also suitable for rooms that are small on space, as they don't extend into the space like ladders do. They are often made of metal or wood and can be a great match for the various styles of bedrooms. Some staircases come with storage drawers that are an ideal way to expand the size of bunk beds.

When deciding between a ladder and stairs, you should also consider the age of your child. While it is recommended that no one sleep 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. Also when you're thinking of using your bunk bed as a guest bed for younger children or for kids beds adults with a limited mobility stairs are the best option.

A straight staircase on the side of the bunk requires at least 95" of space on each side. If you don't have the space, you can opt for a u shaped staircase which doesn't require as much room but allows you to get access to the top bunk safely and safely. Some beds come with the option of detaching the stairs when not in use, which further reduces their footprint and makes them more suitable for multipurpose rooms. 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 kids climb in and out of their beds on their own and provide them with the feeling of independence and security.

A safety net can be installed on top of the bunk to prevent children from falling out while they're sleeping or playing. This is a great idea, particularly for older children who tend to sleep on the top bunk.

The guardrails must be secured to the bunk beds and cannot be removed without tools. The openings in the guardrails over the mattress foundation should not be more than 3.5 inches to avoid entrapment and strangulation. Place the wedge block shown in 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 direction perpendicular the plane of the large edge of the block for one minute.

It's also a good idea to teach kids not to hang anything on the guardrails or ladder for example, such as clothing, belts and sports equipment; instead a rack for clothes should be used to ensure that these objects don't become a strangulation hazard for your child(ren).
