Ladders

A bunk bed is an excellent option for children to save space without sacrificing security. It is crucial to remember that children shouldn't sleep on the top bunk until they're six years old. The ladder used to climb on and off of the upper bunk can cause injuries if it's not used or installed correctly. To ensure that your child is able to safely get on and off the bunk, there are several things to consider when selecting a ladder.

The first thing to take into consideration when selecting a ladder is its height. The ideal ladder height is between 58 and 60 inches, though this can vary depending on the dimensions of the bunk. The ladder should be fixed to the side of the bunk frame, and not extend higher than 5 inches above the top guardrails. This will help to stop a child from becoming trapped between the guardrails and the ladder.

Another factor to consider when selecting a bunk ladder is the number of rungs it has. Ideally the ladder should have at least seven rungs, and be evenly spaced apart. The length of the ladder should be in line to your child's height as well as age to ensure that they are capable of using it easily. It is also an ideal idea to choose a ladder with padded treads. These ladders will have a grippy tread which will reduce the chance of slipping off the bunk.

A lot of bunk beds come with a built-in staircase, which is a great choice for those who do not want to buy separate ladders. Some ladders fit flush into the bottom of the bunk bed and do not interfere when the lower trundle is shut or opened. Some are slanted and provide an easy, safe climbing surface that is suitable for both adults and children.

You can make your bed ladder even more comfortable by adding antislip tape. This is a cheap and simple solution that can improve your child's grip on the ladder while climbing. To apply the tape you will first need to remove the black lining of the ladder. Then cut it down to the proper size. Once it's in place, you will have to press it hard on all sides to ensure it adheres correctly.

Headboards

A headboard is a huge frame where a child will rest his or her head while sleeping. It could be constructed of metal, wood or any other upholstery material. A headboard can be made to fit into a frame with or without siderails. It could also have features such as built-in shelving that can aid in organizing the child's possessions and create a cozy environment to sleep.

While the maximum capacity of top bunks is usually stated as being at or above a standard twin mattress the majority of manufacturers recommend that the top bunk is used only with a mattress that is no thicker than 4 to 6 inches. If the mattress is too thick it could result in the sleeper ending in being higher than guardrails. This could be dangerous.

If your top bunk is equipped with an straight ladder it can be secured to the bed by using ladder hooks that mount over the frame. The hooks can be affixed to either the left or right side of the ladder unless there is a headboard blocking them. You can also pick an angled ladder if you need a more permanent solution.

Footboards

This bed component gives the bunk a finished look and provides a secure spot to hold an alarm clock or lamp. It can be upholstered with the same fabric as the other elements of your bunk, or you can pick a sleek metal version for a contemporary look that can be incorporated into a variety of designs.

A desk can be built into a bunk bed for small bedrooms. This will provide an area for children to work or study. The desk should not be built inside the frame of the bed. Instead it should be placed at the foot of the bed (left image). A desk built inside the bunk is not practical because it can cause children to strike their feet or head on it while they climb into and out of the bed. The desk must also be set up so that the child can reach the chair easily, but not too far away from the mattress.

Under-bed drawers are an additional excellent option for top bunk beds. These storage areas can be used to store sheets, bedding and seasonal clothes. They also work well for toys.
