Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space and save money on separate rooms. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or spaces that children might become trapped or stuck.
Another consideration is how the bed can be accessible: bunks are usually equipped with ladders or stairs and angled ladders take up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds can be a great way to maximize space in a small room. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or the smallest room in your home, bunk beds for kids will help you save floor space without sacrificing any comfort or style. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen designs so that your kids can sleep side by side while enjoying their own space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent choice, particularly if the bottom bunk will be used as an office or playroom during the daytime.
The majority of bunks have an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. The ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling due to safety concerns. This will avoid head bumps and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk does not rest too high.
If you want to keep your kids' bedroom furniture looking chic think about a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. Not only will this add an extra stylish touch to your children's room but it also provides ample storage space for each book, toy or items they'll require to store away.
Some bunks also have the possibility of expanding from a standard bed to an actual futon. This lets your kids use the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night for an incredibly comfortable bed. This type of bunk is ideal if you have the room and your children are old enough to manage the extra sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space for the traditional bunk consider alternatives such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This allows room for other furniture, like dressers or shelves. Additionally, some bunks have beds with a desk attached, which makes it easy for your little ones to do homework while lying in their bed. This helps them stay focused during study time and helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are great for children who wish to sleep in a separate room but don't have enough room for two separate bedrooms. Most of our beds come with a ladder to make it easier for kids to access the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which could be risky. Children should only climb onto the top bunk only if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which usually happens when they are at least six years old.
Many parents are tempted by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angle ladders to improve safety and convenience. These ladders offer a smoother climbing experience and are also easier to grasp. To climb, children simply place their feet on each rung one at a and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Look for a ladder with anti-slip grooves as well as handhole cutouts to allow children to grip the ladder as they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we offer various styles of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. They have a railing that encircles the staircase for additional safety and also an extra wide tread to avoid falls and slips. For a more stylish look, consider the stairs that have built-in storage drawers that are ideal for keeping your children's rooms tidy and neat.
Another method to reduce space is by opting for a loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk using any ladder, which leaves plenty of space beneath for children to play and to sleep. Many of these bunk beds and lofts are designed to be reminiscent of a treehouse or some other amusing structure, making them the ideal option for children who enjoy spending time outside. Some of our bunk beds and lofts have a slide that can be added to add a touch of fun.
