For a typical child, a twin loft bed offers plenty of sleeping space that will easily last them well into their teenage years. Because these frames typically accommodate twin-sized mattresses, they're also more cost and space efficient than bunk beds. But what if your kids require more space to play than the traditional sleeping area provides?

If so, then take a look at this L-shaped loft bed from Pottery Barn. This frame will give your children the space they've always wanted for their playroom and still leave plenty of space for sleeping and studying.

While most loft beds have an accessible ladder for children to climb up into them, this one has a safer option that has railings on both sides of the structure, which help prevent falls. It's also designed in a way that children can only climb up and down the ladder at the foot or head of the bed. This helps to further reduce the risk of falling.

This loft bed made by DHP takes things one step higher and makes it more fun for the youngsters by incorporating the slide they can use to reach the top of their bedroom. Of course, it's always essential to train your children on how to safely use the ladder and avoid over-exuberant play on the top of the loft bed.

Whether your kids have smaller rooms or are sharing more space with a sibling, a loft bed such as this one from Storkcraft can free up lots of floor space.

Style

Maximizing space is crucial when decorating a child's bedroom. From bedding and clothes to books, toys and games, rooms for kids can be quite crowded, so making the maximum use of vertical space is essential. A loft bed can be a great solution for children.

Loft beds come in different styles to meet the needs of children. The only limit is your imagination. If your child is fond of playing pretend to be an astronaut or play house, a loft designed to look like that structure is the ideal place for them to play.

Experts believe that loft beds keep children to be safe, regardless of design, as long as they are positioned correctly in the room, and are not being used for climbing, jumping or any other unsupervised activity. They typically feature guard rails that are built high enough to prevent kids from falling off the top bunk. Additionally, if a ladder or stairs is included with the bed, they must be securely attached.

Installing curtains or other partitions around your loft beds with desk bed can help make your children feel safer when they sleep. This is a quick and affordable way to create an area that gives your child the feeling that they are in their own space. It's also a great option to block out noise from the rest of the house. If you're looking for an loft bed with plenty of storage space, look for one with shelves or cubbies on the lower level. This will allow your children to keep all their equipment within arm's reach and can save lots of floor space that would otherwise be taken up by a desk.

Safety

Bunk and loft beds are fun for children, but they can also be dangerous. Toddlers and children under the age of six are more susceptible to injuries from falling off these beds, which usually have guardrails along the sides but not at the top. It is crucial for parents to show their children the proper way to use these types of beds and also to ensure that they do not play on the top or bottom bunks, or the ladder.

Most accidents that occur on bunk beds and loft beds are caused by kids falling off the top of the bed. This is particularly common for children who do not have the reasoning skills needed to realize that the bunk bed is not a place to sleep or play. Other dangers include children tumbling down the ladder or on the bed's side, and playing under the bed, where they could be trapped by hanging clothes or toys.

Some loft and bunk beds come with ladders built into to reduce the chance of children falling or get trapped. Additionally, it's recommended to put a safety net for the loft bed to prevent kids from falling off the edge of the loft.

Storage

A kids loft bed can be used to store toys, clothing and other personal belongings. It can also be used as a desk or study area with a laptop or computer.
