Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great way to save money while maximizing space. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports to prevent gaps or spaces where children could become stuck or trapped.
Another consideration is how the bed is accessible: bunks are usually equipped with ladders or stairs, with angled ladders taking up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be the ideal option to maximize space in a small space. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or the most compact room in your home, bunks for kids help you save floor space without losing any style or comfort. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen designs so that your kids can sleep side by side while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent choice, particularly if the bottom bunk is used as a playroom or office during the daytime.
Most bunks have a ladder built into the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. To ensure safety it is recommended that the height of the ladder should not be more than 5 to 6 feet from the ceiling. This will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk doesn't sleep too high.
If you're looking to keep your kids' bedroom furniture stylish, consider choosing an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a chic accent to your child's bedroom but also provide ample storage space for all the books, toys and knickknacks they may need.
Some bunks also offer the ability to convert from a standard bed to a futon. This allows your children to use the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then pull out the top futon to make an ideal sleeping space at night. This type of bunk is ideal for rooms with a lot of space and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping space.
If you don't have the space to fit a traditional bunk bed, think about a corner bunk or loft. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This leaves space for other furniture, like dressers or shelves. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, which means that your children can complete their homework while still in bed. This can help them stay focused and instil good habits for studying.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are 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 an incline to make it easier for children to reach the top bunk. This is more secure than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed which could be dangerous. Children should only climb on the top bunk when they can safely do so. This usually happens at least six years old. age.
Although many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds with straight ladders, we recommend selecting beds with angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grip and provide a more pleasant experience. To climb, kids put their feet on the rungs one at atime and then climb up until they reach the top bunk. Look for a ladder with anti-slip grooves as well as handhole cutouts to help children to hold onto the ladder as they climb.
If you are seeking an option that is permanent there are a myriad of styles of stairways that can be permanently mounted to the frame of a bunk bed. They have an edging around the staircase to offer additional security. They also have a larger tread that stops people from sliding and falling. You can select an option with built-in drawers for an attractive appearance. This is a great choice to keep your child's bedroom organized and tidy.
Another option to save space is to select a loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk using any ladder and leaves plenty of room underneath for children to play or to sleep. These loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them an excellent choice for kids who enjoy spending time outside. Some of our loft and bunk beds come with a slide to add an extra element of fun.
Extra Storage

These beds can be used to store clothes, books, toys, and more vertically, saving valuable floor space. These beds are compatible with both traditional and modern bedroom styles.
