Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for children are a great option to save money while maximizing space. Look for models with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or areas where children can get stuck or caught.
The method by which the bed is accessible is also crucial. Bunk beds are typically accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders use less space than standard ladders that are vertical.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be a great way to maximize space in a small space. Bunk beds for kids are a great option to free up space in a small space or attic. They also provide comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds come with twin over full or twin over queen designs so that your children can sleep side by side while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent choice, particularly if the bottom bunk is used as a playroom or office during the day.
The majority of bunk beds come with a ladder or staircase built into the frame. To ensure safety the ladder's height should not be more than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This will prevent bumps on heads while ensuring the younger child who is sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high up.
If kids bunk beds looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture stylish think about a wooden 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 toys, books and knickknacks they may need.
Some bunks also offer the ability to expand from a standard bed into an actual futon. This lets your children use the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day, and then pull out the top futon to make an ideal sleeping space at night. This type of bunk is great if you have the room and your children are old enough to handle the additional sleeping space.
If you do not have the space to accommodate a traditional bunk bed, consider a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of the room. This leaves space for other furniture, like dressers or shelves. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while in their bed. This will help them to stay focused and instil good habits during study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are great for children who wish to sleep separately but don't have enough room to have two bedrooms. A majority of our beds feature a ladder to make it easier for children to reach the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which can be risky. Children should only climb on top bunks only if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which usually happens when they reach six years old.
Many parents are enticed to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we recommend choosing beds that have angled ladders for more safety and convenience. They provide a smoother climbing experience, and are also easier to grasp. To climb, kids simply place their feet on each rung one at a and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Consider a ladder that has anti-slip grooves as well as handhole cutouts to help children to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If you're looking for an option that is permanent there are a myriad of designs of stairways that could be fixed permanently to the frame of a bunk bed. The stairs have a railing that encircles the staircase to provide additional security and also more treads to prevent slips and falls. You can choose an item with built-in drawers for an appealing appearance. This is a great way to keep your child's bedroom clean and organized.
Another way to save space is by opting for an loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk by an elevated ladder and leaves plenty of room underneath for kids to play or sleep. Many of these bunk beds and lofts are designed to look like a treehouse or another fun structure, so they're a great choice for kids who enjoy spending time in the outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds come with a slide to add a touch of fun.

These beds can store clothes, books toys, and other items vertically, thereby saving floor space. These beds are compatible with both traditional and modern bedroom styles.
