Ladders
A bunk bed is a great option to make space in a child's bedroom without the safety features. It is crucial to keep in mind that children shouldn't sleep on the top bunk until they're six years old. The ladder used to climb onto and off of the top bunk can result in injuries if not properly installed or used. To ensure that your child is able to safely get on and off the bunk, there are several things you should look for when selecting the ladder.
The first thing to think about when selecting the height of a ladder. The ideal ladder height is between 60 and 58 inches, though this can vary depending on the size of the bunk. The ladder must also be secured to the back of the frame for the bunk and should not extend beyond 5 inches over the top guardrails or end panels. This will help prevent a child from being trapped between the guardrails or the ladder.
Another factor to consider when choosing a bunk ladder is the number of rungs it has. Ideally, the ladder should have at least seven rungs and should be evenly spaced. The length of the ladder should be matched to your child's height and age to ensure that they are able to use it easily. You should also select a ladder that has padded treads. These ladders will have a tread that is grippy and can reduce the risk of slipping off the bunk.
Many bunk beds come with an built-in ladder, which is an excellent option for those who don't want to purchase separate ladders. Some ladders are able to are able to be inserted in the bottom of the bunk bed and do not interfere when the lower trundle is opened or closed. Some ladders are angled to provide a safe and comfortable climbing surface for adults and children.
You can make your bed ladder even more comfortable by adding antislip tape. This simple and inexpensive solution can improve your child's grip when climbing the ladder. To apply the tape, you will have to remove the liner in black from the ladder and then cut it to the proper size. Once the tape is in place, you will be required to press it firmly on all sides to ensure that it sticks properly.
Headboards
A headboard is a large frame that the child's head rests while they sleep. It can be made from wood, metal or any other upholstery material. A headboard can be designed to fit into a bed frame with or without side rails. It can have a feature such as built-in shelving that can aid in organizing the child's possessions and create a relaxing environment for sleeping.
A trundle could be attached to the bottom bunk to provide a second sleeping space for guests when guests and family come over for sleep-overs.

Some bunk beds include an trundle and others have it as an optional feature that can be bought separately.
The safety of a top bunk is of vital importance to parents, especially when children are young. While the maximum capacity of top bunks is usually stated as being equal to or greater than a standard twin mattress most manufacturers advise that the top bunk be used only with a mattress no thicker than 4 to 6 inches. If the mattress is too thick the sleeper could end up being higher than the guardrails. This could be a risk.
If your top bunk is equipped with an straight ladder, it can be secured to the bed by using the ladder hooks that can be hung over the frame. The hooks can be affixed to either the left or right side of the ladder, unless the headboard is blocking them. You can also opt for angled ladders if you want the most durable solution. These stick out a little and take up more space, however they are easier to secure to the bed.
Another option to consider for a bunk bed is a handrail. This sturdy handrail can be added to any staircase or ladder and will assist children safely climb up and down from the top bunk.

It can be covered in a fabric that matches the other bunks, or a sleek metal version is available for a modern design that will complement a variety of styles.
A bunk bed could be outfitted with a desk, which provides a work or study area for children in smaller bedrooms. The desk shouldn't be constructed within the frame of the bed. Instead, it should be built near the end of the bed (left image). It is not a good idea to build a desk in the bunk bed because children can strike their feet or head on the desk as they climb in and out of the bed. The desk should be set so that the child can reach the chair with ease, and is not too far from the bed.
Under-bed drawers are a fantastic option for top bunk beds. These storage spaces can be used to store extra bedding, sheets and seasonal clothes. They can also be used for toys. They also provide a great method to keep clutter out of view.
