Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or spaces that children might be trapped or entangled.
The method by which the bed is accessed is also important. Bunk beds are typically accessed via stairs or ladders and angled ladders use up less space than standard vertical ladders.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal solution to maximize a small space. Whether you're looking to outfit an attic bedroom or even the small space 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 enjoying their own space. A bunk bed for three is a great option, especially when you intend to use the bottom bunk for a playroom or office during the day.
Bunkbedsstore have a ladder or staircase built into the frame. The ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling due to safety concerns. This will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk does not sleep too high.
If you're looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture in style look into an oak bunk bed with stairs. Not only will this add an extra stylish touch to your kids' room, but it also offers ample storage space for each book, toy and knick-knack they may require to put away.
Some bunks can be expanded from a bed to a futon. This lets your children utilize the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime, and then pull out the top futon to create an ideal sleeping space at night. This kind of bunk bed is ideal when you have enough space and your kids are old enough to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space for a traditional bunk you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of your children's' room, which leaves the remaining space for other kids' furniture such as shelves or dressers. Additionally, some bunks have beds that have desks that are attached, making it easy for your little children to complete their homework while lying down in their bed. This can help them stay focused and instil 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 to have two separate rooms. Many of our beds have a ladder to make it easier for kids to access the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which could be dangerous. Kids should only attempt to climb onto the top bunk only if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which typically happens when they reach six years old.
Many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds that have straight ladders, we suggest choosing beds with angled ladders for added security and ease of use. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience and are also easier to grasp. To climb, children simply put their feet on each rung one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Look for a ladder with anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to allow children to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If you're seeking an all-time solution there are a myriad of types of stairs that can be permanently mounted to the frame of bunk beds. They have a railing that surrounds the staircase for additional safety and also more treads to prevent slips and falls. For a more decorative look, consider the stairs that have built-in storage drawers that are a great way to keep your children's rooms tidy and tidy.
A loft bed without an attached ladder to the bunk below is another method of reducing space. This gives more space for children to play and sleep under. The loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them an ideal choice for kids who enjoy spending time in the outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds have an added slide for an additional touch of excitement.

These beds are compatible with both modern and traditional bedroom styles.
