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 that have solid foundations and mattress supports to prevent gaps or spaces where children may become stuck or trapped.
Another consideration is how the bed can be accessed: bunks usually feature ladders or stairs and angled ladders take less space than traditional vertical ones.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are a great way to maximize space in a tiny room. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or the small space in your home, bunks for kids will help you reduce floor space without losing any style or comfort. 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 also a great option, especially in the event that you plan to use the lower bunk as a playroom or office during the day.
The majority of bunk beds come with a ladder or staircase built into the frame. For safety reasons it is recommended that the height of the ladder should be no higher 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 rest too high.
Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs If you want your child's bedroom furniture to look elegant. Not only will this add an additional stylish element to the room of your child however, it also offers ample storage space for every book, toy, and other things they might need to stow away.
Some bunks can also be converted from a bed to a futon. This lets your kids use the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day, and then pull out the top futon for a comfortable sleeping area at night. This kind of bunk bed is perfect for those who have plenty of space and your kids are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface.
If you do not have the space to accommodate a traditional bunk bed, consider a corner bunk or loft. These beds are positioned in the corner of your kids room, leaving the remaining space for other furniture like dressers or shelves. Additionally, some bunks have beds with desks connected, which makes it simple for your young ones to do homework while sitting up in the bed. This helps them remain focused during the study period and helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be an ideal solution for children who prefer to sleep in separate rooms, but don't have enough space to have two separate rooms. Most of our beds come with a ladder to make it easier for kids to climb up the top bunk. This is safer than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed, which can be risky. Kids should only climb the top bunk when they are able to do it safely. This is usually at least six years of age.
While many parents are tempted to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we would suggest selecting beds with angled ladders for added security and ease of use. These ladders are easier to grip and offer a smoother experience. To climb up, kids simply place 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 as well as handhole cutouts to make it easier for children to grip the ladder as they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we provide several different types of stairs that can be permanently fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs have an edging that is placed around the staircase to provide additional security and a larger tread to prevent falls and slips. For a more stylish look, consider a set of stairs with built-in storage drawers, which are ideal for keeping your children's rooms organized and neat.
A loft bed without an attached ladder to the bunk below is another way to save space. This gives more space for kids to play in and sleep underneath. A lot of these bunk beds and lofts are designed to resemble a treehouse or other amusing structure, making them a great choice for kids who love spending time in the outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds also feature an optional slide for an extra touch of fun.
