Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great choice to save money and maximize space. Choose beds that have solid foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or spaces where children can become trapped or stuck.
Another consideration is how the bed is accessible: bunks are usually equipped with staircases or ladders with angled ladders taking less space than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the perfect solution to maximize a small space. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or the most compact room in your home, bunks for kids can help you save floor space without losing any style or comfort. Most bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your children can share a bed while still having their own space. A bunk bed for three is a great option, especially when you intend to use the lower bunk as an office or playroom during the daytime.
Most bunks have ladders built into the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. The ladder's height shouldn't exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling to ensure safety. This will avoid head bumps and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk does not rest too high.
If you're looking to keep your kids' bedroom furniture stylish look into a wooden bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a chic touch to your child's bedroom and provide plenty of storage space for all the toys, books and other knickknacks that they might need.
Some bunks also have the ability to expand from a standard bed to an actual futon. This lets your kids utilize the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day and then slide out the top futon for an ideal sleeping space at night. This kind of bunk bed is perfect when you have enough space and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping space.
If you don't have the space for the traditional bunk you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are placed across the corner of your children's room, leaving the remaining space for other kids' furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunks also have beds with a desk that are attached, making it simple for your young children to complete their homework while sitting up in bed. This will help them focus and develop good habits during their study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be an ideal solution for children who want to be able to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space to have two separate rooms. A lot of our bunk beds have a ladder that makes it easy for children to climb up to the top bed. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bunk bed which can be risky. Children should only climb on top bunks when they are old enough to do so safely, which is usually when they are at least six years old.
Many parents are tempted by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we suggest angled ladders to increase the safety and ease of use. These ladders are easier to grasp and offer a smoother experience. To climb, kids put their feet on the rungs in a sequence and then climb up until they reach the top bunk. Consider a ladder that has handhole cutouts and anti-slip grooves to make it easier for children to grip the ladder while they climb.
If you're seeking an all-time solution, there are many different designs of stairways that could be fixed permanently to the frame of bunk beds. They have a railing that encircles the staircase to provide additional security and an extra wide tread to avoid accidents and falls. For a more stylish look, you can choose a set of stairs with built-in storage drawers. They are ideal for keeping your children's rooms organized and tidy.
A loft bed without a ladder that connects it to the bottom bunk is another way to save space. This leaves more room for kids to play in and sleep under. These bunk beds and lofts often resemble a fun treehouse, which makes them an ideal choice for kids who enjoy playing outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds have an added slide to add an extra spark of excitement.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds also have storage options that can help children keep their rooms neat and tidy. These beds can store clothes, books toys, books, and more vertically, saving valuable floor space. These beds work well with both traditional and modern bedroom styles.
