Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space and save money on separate rooms. Choose models with solid foundations and mattress supports to avoid gaps or spaces in which children could become stuck or entangled.
The method by which the bed can be accessible is also a crucial aspect. Bunk beds are typically accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders use up less space than standard ladders that are vertical.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are a great way to maximize a small space. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or the most compact room in your home, bunk beds for kids can help you save floor space, without sacrificing any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds are twin over full or queen over twin designs, which means your children can share a bed while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent option, especially when the bunk on the bottom is used as a playroom or office during the day.
The majority of bunks have ladders built into the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. The ladder's height shouldn't exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling for safety reasons. This is to prevent bumped heads and to ensure that the child who is sleeping on the top bunk isn't high.
If you want to keep your children's bedroom furniture in style look into an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a fashionable touch to your child's bedroom and provide plenty of storage space for all the toys, books and other knickknacks that they might need.
Some bunks also have the ability to convert from a standard bed to a futon. This allows your kids to use the lower bed as a sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night to provide a comfortable place to sleep. This type of bunk is ideal if you have the room and your children are old enough to manage the additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have enough space for the traditional bunk consider alternatives such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are placed in the corner of the room. This leaves space for other furniture, like dressers or shelves. Additionally, some bunks have beds that have desks connected, which makes it simple for your young children to complete their homework while sitting up in the bed. This helps them stay focused during their study time and helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are an ideal solution for children who prefer to sleep in separate rooms, but do not have the space for two separate rooms. Most of our beds come with an incline to make it easier for kids to access the top bunk. This is more secure than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed, which can be risky. Kids should only attempt to climb onto the top bunk if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which is usually when they are at least six years old.
While many parents are tempted to buy bunk beds with straight ladders, we recommend selecting beds with angled ladders to increase security and ease of use. They provide a smoother climbing experience, and they're also easier to grasp. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs one at a time and move up until they reach the top bunk. For added security, you should consider a ladder with grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand hole cutouts that make it easier for children to hold onto when they climb.
If you're seeking a permanent solution, there are many different types of stairs that can be permanently mounted to the frame of a 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, you can choose an stairwell with built-in storage drawers that are an excellent way to keep 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 using any ladder, which leaves plenty of space beneath for children to play and sleep. These bunk beds and lofts typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them a great option for kids who enjoy being in the outdoors. Some of our bunk and loft beds have an added slide for an additional thrill.
Extra Storage
A variety of loft beds and bunk beds also have storage options that can help children keep their rooms tidy and neat. These beds can store clothes, books toys, books, and more vertically, saving valuable floor space. These beds are compatible with both modern and traditional bedroom styles.

Fun Slide
A slide can boost the enjoyment of a children's bunk bed. The excitement of the children rushing down the top bunk encourages creative play and activities which makes it easier for them to fall asleep at night.
Bunk beds with slides offer the perfect opportunity to mix sleep and play in one space, ideal for shared rooms for kids and growing families. Kids can climb the ladder and then slide down the slide. This can provide hours of fun in their room.
