Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Bunk beds for kids are a great way to save money and maximize space. Find beds with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to prevent gaps or areas where children may become stuck or entangled.

The method by which the bed is accessible is also a crucial aspect. Bunk beds are typically accessed via stairs or ladders and angled ladders use up less space than standard ladders that are vertical.

Space-saving Design

Bunk beds are the ideal way to maximize space in a tiny room. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or even the small space in your home, bunk beds for kids help you save floor space without giving up any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds come with twin over full or twin over queen configurations so your children can share a bed while still enjoying their personal space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent choice, particularly if the bottom bunk will be used as an office or playroom during the daytime.

Most bunk beds have an escalator or ladder built into the frame. For safety reasons the height of the ladder should be no higher than 5-6 feet from the ceiling. This will avoid head bumps and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk does not sleep too high.

Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs if you want your children's bedroom furniture to appear stylish. This will not only add an additional stylish element to the room of your child, but it also offers ample storage space for every book, toy, and other things they might require to put away.

Some bunks offer the ability to expand from a standard bed into the futon. This lets your kids make use of the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night for an incredibly comfortable bed. This type of bunk bed is ideal if you have enough space and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface.

If you don't have the space to accommodate a traditional bunk bed think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are placed across the corner of your kids' room, which leaves the space for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, which means that your children can complete their homework while in their bed. This helps them remain focused during their study time and encourages 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 for two separate rooms. A majority of our beds feature a ladder to make it easier for children to access the top bunk. This is safer than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed, which can be risky. Kids should only attempt to climb on top bunks only if they are mature enough to climb safely, which usually happens when they reach six years old.

Although many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds with straight ladders, we would suggest selecting beds that have angled ladders for more security and ease of use. These ladders offer a smoother climbing experience and are also more comfortable to hold. To climb, children simply place their feet on each rung one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. For even more security, you should consider a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps as well as hand holes that make it easier for children to hold onto when they climb.

If you're looking for a permanent solution, we have several different types of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. These stairs feature an edging that is placed around the staircase to provide additional security and also a larger tread to prevent accidents and falls. For a more stylish appearance, you can opt for an stairwell with built-in storage drawers, which are an excellent way to keep your kids' rooms organized and neat.

Another way to save space is to select a loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk by a ladder at all and leaves plenty of space beneath for children to play and sleep. The loft and bunk beds often resemble a fun treehouse, making them an excellent choice for children who love being outside. Some of our bunk and loft beds include a slide that can add a spark of excitement.

Extra Storage

Many bunk and loft beds provide additional storage options that can help children keep their rooms neat and tidy. These beds can be used to store books, clothes, toys, and more vertically, thereby saving floor space. These beds work well with both modern and traditional bedroom styles. Pottery Barn Kids has a an extensive selection of twin beds that will fit your child's bedroom and requirements.

The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers can be used as a storage solution to your child's bunk beds. It has two large drawers that can be used to store shoes, clothing as well as bedtime essentials and other things. The drawers have unidirectional casters that make it easy for children to open and close them. This is an excellent option for kids who live in a single room. It helps keep each other's belongings away from each other.

This Maxtrix loft comes with a built in desk and hutch, which can be used as a study nook. The solid wood desk for children can easily be removed from under the bed, and folds up when it is not in use, leaving space in the room for play.

When it's time to go to bed the bunk at the bottom of this Maxtrix can be turned into a comfy sofa.

Fun Slide

A slide can increase the excitement of a kid's bunk bed. Kids love jumping down from the top bunk and the excitement stimulates active and imaginative play, making it much easier to get up and ready for the night's sleep.

Bunk beds that slide are a great choice for growing families and shared rooms. Kids can race up the ladder, then slide down the slide. This can bring hours of fun to their rooms.

For rooms with limited space our bunk bed with slide options include the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower, which can be connected to either the side of the ladder, or the front of the frame for the best childrens bunk beds bed.
