Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space and save money on separate rooms. Look for models with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that prevent gaps or spaces where children could be trapped or entangled.
The way the bed is accessible is also a crucial aspect. Bunk beds are generally accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders take less space than traditional vertical ladders.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are a great way to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for kids are a great option to make space in a tiny room or attic. They also provide convenience and elegance. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your children can share a bed while enjoying their own space. A bunk bed for three is also a great option, especially in the event that you plan to use the bottom bunk as a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of bunks have ladders built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling for safety reasons. This will avoid head bumps and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk does not sleep too high.
If you're looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture looking chic think about a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This not only provides an additional stylish element to the room of your child but it also provides ample storage for every book, toy or knick-knack they may require to store away.
Some bunks also have the possibility of expanding from a standard bed into 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 at night for a comfortable place to sleep. This kind of bunk is great for rooms with a lot of space and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface.
If you do not have the space to fit a traditional bunk bed, think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of your children's' room, which leaves the room for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Alternatively, some bunks feature beds with desks that are attached, making it simple for your little ones to do homework while lying in the bed. This will help them to remain focused and help them develop good habits during their study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are great for kids who want to sleep in a separate room but don't have the space to create two separate bedrooms. Many of our beds have a ladder that makes it easier for children to reach the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which can be risky. Children should only climb onto the top bunk only if they are old enough to do so safely, which usually happens when they are at least six years old.
Many parents are tempted by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angle ladders to improve the safety and ease of use. These ladders are easier to grasp and offer a smoother experience. To climb, children simply set their feet on each step one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Think about a ladder that comes with anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to help children to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If you are seeking an all-time solution there are a myriad of styles of stairways that can be fixed permanently to the frame of a bunk bed. The stairs have a railing that surrounds the staircase for additional safety and an extra wide tread to avoid slips and falls. For a more decorative appearance, you can opt for an stairwell with built-in storage drawers, which are an excellent way to keep your children's rooms tidy and tidy.
Another method to reduce space is by opting for loft beds that don't connect to the bottom bunk using a ladder at all, which leaves plenty of space underneath for kids to play or sleep. The loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them a great option for kids who enjoy playing outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds have a slide that can be added to add a touch of fun.
Extra Storage

These beds make use of vertical space to store clothes books, toys, and much more without taking up floor space. They also work in traditional and contemporary bedroom designs.
