Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Kids bunk beds are an excellent way to maximize space while saving money on separate rooms. Choose models with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to avoid gaps or spaces where children may become stuck or trapped.

Another thing to consider is how the bed can be accessible: bunks are usually equipped with ladders or stairs with angled ladders taking less space than standard vertical ones.

Space-saving Design

Bunk beds can be an excellent method to make the most of space in a tiny room. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or even the small space in your home, bunks for kids can help you reduce floor space without giving up any comfort or style. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen designs so that your children can sleep side by side while still enjoying their personal space. A bunk bed for three is also an ideal option, especially when you intend to use the lower bunk for a playroom or office during the day.

The majority of bunks have ladders built into the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. To ensure safety it is recommended that the height of the ladder should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling. This will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk doesn't sleep too high.

Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs if you want your children's bedroom furniture to appear stylish. This will not only add a chic accent to your child's bedroom but also provide ample storage space for all the books, toys and other knickknacks that they might need.

Some bunks offer the ability to convert from a standard bed to a futon. This lets your kids make use of the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon in the evening for an incredibly comfortable bed. This type of bunk bed is ideal if you have enough space and your kids are old enough to manage the additional sleeping surface.

If you do not have the space to accommodate a traditional bunk bed, think about a corner bunk or loft. These beds are placed in the corner of the room. This leaves space for other furniture, like dressers or shelves. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, so your kids can do their homework while still in their bed. This helps them stay focused during their study time and helps them develop good habits.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds are great for kids who want to sleep in a separate room but don't have enough space to have two bedrooms. Most of our bunk beds come with a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb up to the top bed. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which could be risky. Kids should only climb the top bunk when they are able do it safely. This is usually at least six years of age.

While many parents are tempted to buy bunk beds with straight ladders, we recommend selecting beds with angled ladders to increase security and ease of use. These ladders offer a smoother climbing experience and are also more comfortable to hold. To climb, kids place their feet on the rungs one at a time and then climb up until they reach the top bunk. Consider a ladder that has anti-slip grooves as well as handhole cutouts to help youngsters to hold onto the ladder while they climb.

If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we provide various styles of stairs that can be fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. They have a railing that runs around the stairs to provide additional safety. They also have a wider tread that stops people from sliding and falling. For a more stylish look, consider an stairwell with built-in storage drawers. They are ideal for keeping your kids beds' rooms organized and neat.

A loft bed that doesn't have an attached ladder to the bunk below is another method of reducing space. This leaves more room for children to play and sleep under. These bunk beds and lofts often resemble a fun treehouse, which makes them an excellent choice for kids who enjoy spending time outdoors. Some of our bunk and loft beds include a slide for an additional thrill.
