Kids Bunk Bed – A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Find beds with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or areas that children might become trapped or stuck.
Another consideration is how the bed is accessed: bunks usually feature staircases or ladders and angled ladders take up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal way to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for kids are a great option to free up space in a tiny room or attic. They also offer the comfort and style. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your kids can share a bed while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed can be an excellent choice, particularly in the event that the lower bunk can be used as a playroom or office during the day.
The majority of bunk beds come with a ladder or staircase built into the frame. To ensure safety the ladder’s height should not be more than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This will prevent bumps on heads while making sure that the kid sleeping on the top bunk isn’t high up.
If you want to keep your kids’ bedroom furniture looking chic look into an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add an extra stylish touch to the room of your child however, it also offers ample storage for every book, toy or knick-knack they may require to put away.
Some bunks also offer the possibility of expanding from a standard bed into a futon. This lets your children make use of the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day and then slide out the top futon to create a comfortable sleeping area at night. This kind of bunk is ideal if you have the room and your kids are old enough to handle the additional sleeping space.
If you do not have enough space for a traditional bunk bed consider a corner bunk or loft. These beds are set in the corner of your children’s rooms, which leave the room for other kids’ furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, which means that your children can complete their homework while in bed. This will help them to stay focused and instil good habits for studying.
Easy Climbing Ladder
bunk bed for kids beds are perfect for kids who want to sleep separately but don’t have enough space to have two bedrooms. A lot of our bunk beds are equipped with a ladder that makes it easy for children to climb to the top of the bed. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bunk bed, which can be risky. Children should only 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.
Many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds with straight ladders, we suggest choosing beds with angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. They provide a smoother climbing experience, and are also easier to grasp. 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. Consider a ladder that has anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to allow children to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If you are looking for a permanent solution there are a myriad of styles of stairways that can be fixed permanently to the frame of bunk beds. They have a railing that runs around the stairs to offer additional security. They also have a wider tread to prevent slipping and falling. You can select an option with built-in drawers for a more decorative appearance. This is a great way to keep your child’s space clean and organized.
A loft bed without a ladder connecting it to the bunk below is another method of reducing space. This gives more space for kids to play and sleep underneath. These bunk beds and lofts often resemble a fun treehouse, making them an excellent choice for kids who enjoy being outdoors. Some of our bunk beds and lofts come with a slide for an extra touch of fun.
Extra Storage
Many bunk and loft bed options offer additional storage space to ensure that children’s rooms are clean. These beds make use of vertical space to store clothes, books, toys and more, without taking up floor space. These beds are compatible with both traditional and modern bedroom styles.

It allows them to keep the belongings of each other from each other.
