Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for children are a great way to save money while maximizing space. Look for models that have sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to avoid gaps or spaces where children could become stuck or entangled.
The method by which the bed is accessed is also important. Bunk beds are usually accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders use less space than standard vertical ladders.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal solution to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for kids are a great way to free up space in a tiny room or attic. They also provide the comfort and style. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your kids can sleep side-by-side while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent option, particularly in the event that the lower bunk can be used as a playroom or office during the day.
Most bunks have an attached ladder to 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 prevent bumps on heads and to ensure that the kid sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high.
If you're looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture in style think about a wooden bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a chic accent to your child's bedroom and provide plenty of storage space for all the toys, books and other items they might require.
Some bunks also offer the possibility of expanding from a standard bed to the futon. This lets your kids make use of the lower bed as a sofa during the day and pull out the top futon in the evening for the perfect place to sleep. This type of bunk is perfect when you have a room and your children are old enough to manage the additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have enough space for the traditional bunk consider alternatives 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 bunk beds come with an attached desk, which means that your children can complete their homework while in bed. This can help them remain focused and help them develop good habits during study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are an ideal solution for children who prefer to sleep in separate rooms, but don't have enough space for two separate rooms. Many of our bunk beds come with a ladder that makes it easy for children to climb up the top of the bed. This is more secure than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed, which could be dangerous. Children should only climb up onto the top bunk only if they are mature enough to climb safely, which typically happens when they reach six years old.
Many parents are attracted by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we suggest angle ladders to improve security and ease of use. They provide a smoother climbing experience, and they're also easier to grip. To climb, kids simply set their feet on each step one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. For added safety, choose a ladder with grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand hole cutouts that allow kids to hold onto when they climb.
If you're seeking a permanent solution There are a variety of types of stairs that can be permanently mounted to the frame of bunk beds. These stairs feature an edging that is placed around the staircase to provide additional security, and they have an extra wide tread to avoid accidents and falls. You can select an item with built-in drawers for a more decorative appearance. This is a great way to keep your child's space organized and tidy.
A loft bed that doesn't have an attached ladder to the bottom bunk is another option to reduce space. This gives more space for kids to play and sleep on. These loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them a great option for kids who enjoy spending time outdoors. Some of our bunk and loft beds come with an optional slide for an additional thrill.
Extra Storage
A variety of loft and bunk beds have additional storage options to help children keep their rooms tidy. These beds use vertical space to store clothes books, toys, and more, without taking up valuable floor space. These beds work well with both modern and traditional bedroom styles.
