Ladders also usually have grooves on the steps, which prevent slippage when climbing up or down the bed.

When choosing between a staircase and Kids beds a ladder take into account the age of your child. It is recommended that children less than 6 years old not sleep on the top bunk. Children older than 6 years old who can climb vertically could prefer stairs than climbing a ladder.

A straight staircase on the side of the bed will require 95" of space on either side. If you do not have enough space, you can opt for the u-shaped stairs that doesn't require as much space but allows you to access the top bunk in a safe and securely. Some beds come with the option of detaching the stairs when not in use, which further reduces their footprint and makes them more versatile for rooms that can be used in multiple ways. You can also find staircases that connect to the bottom of the bed, which eliminates the requirement for a separate handrail and makes it easier for children to climb up and down.

Guard Rails

Guard rails let kids climb into and out of their beds on their own and provide them with the feeling of freedom and confidence. However, they must be set properly, making sure that there are no gaps or sagging occurs between the guard rails and the bed frame.

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

It is also a good idea to teach youngsters not to hang anything on the guardrails or ladder for example, such as clothing, belts and sports equipment. Instead a clothes rack is recommended to ensure that these items don't become a strangulation hazard for your child(ren). Also, ensure that more than one child does not sleep on the top floor of the bunk, since this could cause a dangerous imbalance which may lead to falls.

Low-profile mattresses are typically the best choice for bunk beds for children. These are designed to be thinner than regular mattresses and to increase the height of the safety rail for the top bunk. They minimize "filler" materials to provide premium quality with slim lines.

These models will give you a clear idea of how the mattress will hold up as your child grows, and you can always include the mattress skirt or mattress pad to prevent it from slipping off the frame.
