Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space and save money on separate rooms. Look for models with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or spaces where children could become trapped or stuck.

The method by which the bed is accessed is also important. Bunk beds are typically accessed via stairs or ladders, and angled ladders take up less space than standard ladders that are vertical.

Space-saving Design

Bunk beds are the ideal way to make the most of a tiny space. Bunk beds for kids are a great way to make space in a tiny room or attic. They also offer the comfort and 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 having their own space. A bunk bed for three is an excellent option, particularly when you intend to use the bottom bunk as a playroom or office during the daytime.

Most bunks come with a ladder built into the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. The ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling for safety reasons. This is to avoid bumped heads and to ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk isn't high up.

If you're looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture stylish, consider choosing an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a fashionable design to your child's room, but also provide ample storage space for all the books, toys and other items they might require.

Some bunks can be converted from a bed to a 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 to create an ideal sleeping space at night. This kind of bunk bed is perfect for those who have plenty of space and your kids are old enough to be able to handle the extra sleeping space.

If you do not have the space to fit the traditional bunk bed, look into a corner bunk or loft. These beds are set in the corner of your kids room, leaving the remaining space for other kids' furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while in their beds. This can help them focus and develop good habits during study time.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds are great for kids who want to sleep separately but don't have enough space to create two separate bedrooms. Most of our bunk beds are equipped with a ladder that makes it easy for children to climb up the top of the bed. This is much safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which can be dangerous. Children should only climb onto the top bunk if they are old enough to do so safely, which usually happens when they reach six years old.

Many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds with straight ladders, we would suggest selecting beds with angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grip and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs one at a time and then climb up until they reach top bunk. For added safety, consider choosing a ladder with grooved anti-slip steps as well as hand hole cutouts that allow kids to hold onto as they climb.

If you are seeking a permanent solution there are a myriad of types of stairs that can be permanently mounted to the frame of bunk beds. The stairs have an edging that is placed around the stairs to ensure safety and more treads to prevent accidents and falls. For a more decorative look, consider the stairs that have built-in storage drawers, which are ideal for keeping your children's rooms organized and tidy.

Another method to reduce space is to choose a loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk by any ladder and leaves plenty of space underneath for children to play and sleep. A lot of these loft and bunk beds are designed to resemble a treehouse or other amusing structure, making them the ideal option for children who love to spend time outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds include a slide that can add a touch of excitement.

These beds make use of vertical space to store clothes books, toys, books and more, without taking up floor space. These beds can be used with both traditional and modern bedroom styles.
