Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for children are a great option to save money while maximizing space. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports to avoid gaps or spaces where children may become stuck or trapped.
Another thing to consider is how the bed is accessible: bunks typically have staircases or ladders with angled ladders taking less space than traditional vertical ones.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are an excellent option to maximize space in a tiny room. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or the small space in your home, bunks for kids can help you reduce floor space without losing any style or comfort. The majority of bunk beds are twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your kids can share a bed while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent option, particularly if the bottom bunk can be used as an office or playroom during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds have a ladder or staircase built into the frame. For safety reasons it is recommended that the height of the ladder should not be more than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This is to prevent bumped heads while making sure that the kid sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high up.
Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs If you want your child's bedroom furniture to look stylish. This not only provides an elegant touch to your children's room however, it also offers ample storage for every book, toy or knick-knack they may need to stow away.
Some bunks also offer the ability to convert from a standard bed to a futon. This lets your children make use of the lower bed as a sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night to provide a comfortable place to sleep. This type of bunk bed is great when you have enough space and your kids are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space for traditional bunks consider alternatives such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are placed across the corner of your child's rooms, which leave the space for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your kids can do their homework while in their beds. This helps them remain focused during study time and helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be an ideal solution for children who prefer to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space to have two separate rooms. A lot of our bunk beds come with a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb to the top of the bed. This is much safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which could be risky. Kids should only climb the top bunk when they are able to safely do so. This is usually at least six years of age.
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 more comfortable to hold. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs one at a time and move up until they reach the top bunk. To ensure safety, choose a ladder with grooved anti-slip steps and hand hole cutouts that make it easier for children to hold onto while they climb.
If you're looking for an option that is permanent, there are many different styles of stairways that can be permanently attached to the frame of a bunk bed. These stairs feature a railing that encircles the stairs to ensure safety, and they have more treads to prevent slips and falls. You can choose a set with built-in drawers to give it an appealing appearance. This is a great option to keep your child's room organized and tidy.
A loft bed without an attached ladder to the bottom bunk is another method of reducing space. This leaves more room for kids to play and sleep on. A lot of these bunk beds and lofts are designed to be reminiscent of a treehouse or some other structures that are fun, making them the ideal option for children who enjoy spending time outside. Some of our loft and bunk beds come with an optional slide to add an extra thrill.
Extra Storage
