Kids Bunk Bed – A Great Way to Maximize Space

Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space while saving money on separate rooms. Look for models that have solid foundations and mattress supports to avoid gaps or spaces where children could become stuck or trapped.

Another consideration is how the bed can be accessible: bunks are usually equipped with staircases or ladders with angled ladders taking less space than traditional vertical ones.

Space-Saving Design

Bunk beds can be the ideal way to maximize space in a tiny room. Whether you’re looking to outfit an attic bedroom or even the most compact room in your home, bunk beds for kids will help you reduce floor space without losing any style or comfort. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen configurations so your kids can share a bed while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent option, especially in the event that the lower bunk will be used as a playroom or office during the day.

The majority of bunks have an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. For safety reasons it is recommended that the ladder’s height should not be more than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk does not sleep too high.

If you’re looking to keep your kids’ bedroom furniture looking chic, consider choosing a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This will not only add an additional stylish element to your kids’ room but it also provides ample storage space for every book, toy or things they might require to put away.

Some bunks can also be converted to a futon. This allows your children to use the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day, and then pull out the top futon to create an ideal sleeping space at night. This kind of bunk bed is ideal for those who have plenty of space and your kids are old enough to manage the extra sleeping space.

If you do not have the space to accommodate a traditional bunk bed look into a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of your children’s room, leaving the remaining space for other furniture such as shelves or dressers. Some bunks also have beds with a desk that are attached, making it simple for your young children to complete their homework while lying in bed. This helps them stay focused during study time and encourages good habits.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds are ideal for kids who want to sleep separately but don’t have the space to have two bedrooms. A majority of our beds feature a ladder to make it easier for kids to reach the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which could be dangerous. Children should only climb the top bunk when they are able do it safely. This usually happens at least six years of age.

Although many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds that have straight ladders, we recommend selecting beds that have angled ladders for more security and ease of use. They provide a smoother climbing experience, and they’re also more comfortable to hold. To climb, kids put their feet on the rungs one at atime and then move upwards until they reach top bunk. To ensure safety, choose a ladder that has grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand holes that allow kids to hold onto as they climb.

If you’re looking for a more permanent solution, we have various styles of stairs that can be fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. These stairs have a railing that runs around the stairs to offer additional security. They also feature a wider tread to prevent slipping and falling. You can pick an option with built-in drawers for an appealing appearance. This is a great option to keep your child’s room clean and organized.

A loft bed that doesn’t have a ladder connecting it to the bottom bunk is another way to save space. This gives more space for children to play and sleep underneath. Many 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 love spending time outside. Some of our loft and bunk beds have a slide that can be added for an extra touch of fun.

Extra Storage

A variety of loft beds and bunk beds offer additional storage options for kids to keep their rooms neat and tidy. These beds utilize vertical space to store clothing, books, toys and more, without taking up valuable floor space. These beds can be used with both traditional and modern bedroom styles.

Fun Slide

The fun of bunk beds for kids can be enhanced even further with the addition of a slide. The excitement of children racing down the top bunk is a great way to encourage imaginative play and activity which makes it easier for them to fall asleep at the end of the night.

Bunk beds with slides are a great choice for families with growing children and shared rooms. Kids can climb up the ladder, then slide down the slide. This will provide hours of fun in their room.

Based on the assembly height the slide extends about 190 cm into the room. An exit opening of 70 cm is required.
