A lot of our bunk beds for kids can be transformed into two twin beds. This is perfect when you plan to move them into their own bedroom at some point. Choose from finishes like brushed white, gray and rich walnut.

Ladders or Stairs

You can choose between ladders or stairs when you are choosing bunk beds for children. Ladders can be installed easily and are less expensive. They also provide an easy way to get into the top bunk bed. They are also considered to be safer than staircases, as they have a bigger area for children to step on and a handrail built-in. They also have grooves on the steps, which can prevent slippage while climbing up or down the bed.

If you prefer the look and design of stairs, bunkbedsstore they can be a more elegant option to your bunk bed. Staircases are also great for rooms that are tight on space, as they don’t obstruct the room like ladders do. They can be made from metal or wood and can be matched to a wide range of bedroom styles. Some staircases come with storage drawers which can be an ideal way to expand the size of a bunk bed.

When choosing between a staircase and a ladder take into account the age of your child. It is recommended that no one sleep on the top bunk under the age of 6, older children who are comfortable climbing vertically may be better off with stairs than a ladder. Additionally should you be planning on using your bunk bed as an extra bed for children or adults with limited mobility stairs are the best choice.

If you do not have enough space, you can opt for the u-shaped stairs that does not require as much room but allows you to get access to the top bunk in a safe and securely. Certain beds let you remove the stairs when they are not being used. This reduces the size of the bed and makes it more suited to multi-purpose spaces. You can also find staircases that connect to the bottom of the bed, which eliminates the need for a separate handrail and makes it easier for children to climb up and down.

Guard Rails

Guard rails let children climb into and out of their beds on their own and give them an experience of freedom and confidence. They must be set in a proper way to ensure there are no gaps or loosening between guardrails and the bed’s frame. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing guard rails and be sure to inspect them on a regular basis to ensure that they’re not loose or have holes that could cause the entrapment.
