Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great option to save money and make the most of space. Find beds with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to avoid gaps or spaces where children could become stuck or entangled.
Another thing to consider is how the bed is accessed: bunks usually feature stairs or ladders with angled ladders taking up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal way to make the most of a tiny space. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or even the most compact room in your home, bunk beds for kids help you reduce floor space without giving up any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds come with twin over full or twin over queen configurations so your children can sleep side-by-side while still enjoying their personal space. A three-person bunk bed can be an excellent option, particularly if the bottom bunk will be used as an office or playroom during the day.
Most bunks have ladders built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. For safety reasons, the ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling. This is to avoid bumped heads while making sure that the kid sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high.
Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs If you want your child's bedroom furniture to be stylish. 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 can also be converted to a futon. This allows your kids to 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 type of bunk bed is perfect if you have enough space and your kids are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space for a traditional bunk, look into options like a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of your children's' room, which leaves the remaining space for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Alternatively, some bunks feature beds with desks attached, which makes it simple for your little ones to do homework while sitting up in their bed. This will help them focus and develop good habits during their study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are the ideal solution for kids who prefer to sleep in separate rooms, but do not have the space for two separate rooms. Many of our beds have a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb up the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which could be dangerous. Kids should only attempt to climb up 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.
While many parents are tempted to buy bunk beds that have straight ladders, we recommend choosing beds with angled ladders for added safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grasp and offer a smoother experience. To climb, best kids bunk beds place their feet on the rungs one at a time and move up until they reach top bunk. Consider a ladder that has anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to make it easier for children to hold onto the ladder as they climb.
If you're looking for a permanent solution, we provide various styles of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. These stairs have an edging around the staircase to provide additional safety. They also feature a wider tread that prevents slipping and falling. To give a more attractive look, consider the stairs that have built-in storage drawers, which are ideal for keeping your children's rooms tidy and neat.
A loft bed that doesn't have a ladder that connects it to the bunk below is another way to save space. This gives more space for kids to play in and sleep on. These loft and bunk beds often resemble a fun treehouse, making them a great option for children who love being in the outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds come with a slide to add a touch of fun.
Extra Storage
Many bunk and loft beds have additional storage to ensure that children's rooms are tidy. These beds use vertical space to store clothing books, toys, books and much more without taking up floor space. These beds are compatible with both traditional and modern bedroom styles.
