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 stop gaps or spaces where children could get stuck or caught.
The method by which the bed is accessed is also important. bunk bed for kids are usually accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders take up less space than standard ladders that are vertical.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal method to make the most of space in a tiny room. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or the small space in your home, bunks for kids will help you reduce floor space without losing any style or comfort. Most bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your kids can share a bed while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent choice, particularly if the bottom bunk can be used as an office or playroom during the day.
The majority of bunk beds have an escalator or ladder built into the frame. To ensure safety it is recommended that the height of the ladder should not be more than 5 to 6 feet from the ceiling. This will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't sleep too high.
If you want to keep your children's bedroom furniture stylish, consider choosing a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This will not only add a stylish design to your child's room but also provide ample storage space for all the books, toys and knickknacks they may need.
Some bunks offer the ability to convert from a standard bed into an actual futon. This lets your kids use the lower bed as a sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon in the evening for a comfortable place to sleep. This kind of bunk bed is perfect when you have enough space and your children are old enough to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space to accommodate the traditional bunk bed, think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of the room. This makes room for other furniture like cabinets or shelves. Additionally, some bunks have beds that have desks attached, which makes it easy for your little kids to work while sitting up in bed. This helps them stay focused during study time and promotes good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are a great solution for children who prefer to sleep in separate rooms, but don't have enough space for two separate rooms. A majority of our beds feature an incline to make it easier for children to access the top bunk. This is more secure than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed, which can be risky. Kids should only attempt to climb up onto the top bunk if they are old enough to do so safely, which typically happens when they are at least six years old.
While many parents are tempted to buy bunk beds with straight ladders, we would suggest choosing beds with angled ladders to increase security and ease of use. These ladders are more comfortable to hold and offer a smoother experience. To climb up, kids simply put 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 handhole cutouts and anti-slip grooves to allow youngsters to hold onto the ladder as they climb.
If you're looking for an all-time solution there are a myriad of types of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of bunk beds. They have a railing that runs around the stairs to offer additional security. They also feature a wider tread that stops people from sliding and falling. To give a more attractive look, consider the stairs that have built-in storage drawers. They are an excellent way to keep your kids' rooms organized and tidy.
A loft bed that doesn't have an attached ladder to the bottom bunk is another method of reducing space. This allows more space for kids to play and sleep under. These loft and bunk beds often resemble a fun treehouse, which makes them a great option for kids who enjoy being outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds come with a slide to add a touch of fun.

These beds can be used with both traditional and modern bedroom styles.
