Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports to prevent gaps or spaces where children may become stuck or trapped.
Another factor to consider is how the bed can be accessed: bunks usually feature staircases or ladders with angled ladders taking less space than standard vertical ones.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are the perfect solution to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for children are a great way to save space in a tiny room or attic. They also provide the comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds come with twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your kids can share a bed while enjoying their own space. A bunk bed for three is also an excellent option, particularly in the event that you plan to use the lower bunk as an office or playroom during the daytime.
The majority of bunks have a ladder built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. For safety reasons, the height of the ladder should be no higher than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This is to avoid bumped heads while ensuring the younger kid sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high up.
If you want to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style think about a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This will not only add a stylish touch to your child's bedroom and provide plenty of storage space for all the toys, books and knickknacks they may need.
Some bunks also offer the ability to convert from a standard bed into an actual futon. This lets your children make use of the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then pull out the top futon for a comfortable sleeping area at night. This kind of bunk is ideal for rooms with a lot of space and your kids are old enough to manage the additional 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 placed across the corner of your child's rooms, which leave the space for other furniture such as shelves or dressers. Additionally, some bunks have beds that have desks connected, which makes it simple for your little kids to work while sitting up in their bed. This can help them stay focused and instil good habits during their study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be the ideal solution for kids who prefer to sleep in separate rooms, but do not have the space to have two separate rooms. A majority of our beds feature a ladder that makes it easier for kids to access the top bunk. This is safer than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed which can be risky. Children should only climb on the top bunk when they are able safely do so. This is usually at least six years of age.
While many parents are tempted to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we suggest opting for ones with angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grasp and offer a smoother experience. To climb up, kids simply put their feet on each rung one at a and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Think about a ladder that comes with anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to allow children to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If you're seeking an option that is permanent there are a myriad of types of stairs that can be fixed permanently to the frame of bunk beds. They have a railing that runs around the stairs to provide additional safety. They also feature a wider tread that prevents slipping and falling. You can select an option with built-in drawers for an attractive appearance. bunk bed for kids is a great way to keep your child's space neat and tidy.
A loft bed that doesn't have a ladder connecting it to the bunk below is another method of reducing space. This allows more space for kids to play in and sleep underneath.

Some of our bunk beds and lofts come with a slide for an extra touch of fun.
