Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for children are a great option to save money and make the most of space. Choose beds that have solid foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or areas where children could become trapped or stuck.
The method by which the bed is accessed is also important. Bunk beds are usually accessed via stairs or ladders, and angled ladders take up less space than standard vertical ladders.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are a great way to make the most of a tiny space. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or even the smallest room in your home, bunks for kids help you save floor space, without losing any style or comfort. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen designs so that your children can sleep side-by-side while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed can be an excellent option, especially in the event that the lower bunk will be used as a playroom or office during the day.
Most bunk beds have 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 5-6 feet from the ceiling. This will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't sleep too high.
If kids bunk bed looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture stylish look into an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a stylish design to your child's room but also provide ample storage space for all the toys, books and knickknacks they may need.
Some bunks also offer the possibility of expanding from a standard bed to an actual futon. This lets your kids utilize the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day and then pull out the top futon to make an ideal sleeping space at night. This kind of bunk is perfect for rooms with a lot of space and your children are old enough to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If you do not have the space to fit the traditional bunk bed, think about a corner bunk or loft. These beds are placed across the corner of your child's room, leaving the room for other furniture such as shelves or dressers. Additionally, some bunks have beds with desks connected, which makes it simple for your young kids to work while lying down in their bed. This will help them stay focused during the study period and encourages good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are the ideal solution for kids who prefer to sleep in separate rooms, but don't have enough space for two separate rooms. Most of our beds come with a ladder to make it easier for children to climb up the top bunk. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which could be dangerous. Kids should only attempt to climb up onto the top bunk if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which is usually when they reach six years old.
Many parents are tempted by the straight ladders that are found on bunk beds, but we suggest angled ladders to increase security and ease of use. These ladders are easier to grasp and offer a smoother experience. To climb, kids put their feet on the rungs one at a time and then climb up until they reach top bunk. Think about a ladder that comes with handhole cutouts and anti-slip grooves to allow youngsters to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If you're looking for a permanent solution, we offer several different types of stairs that can be fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. They have a railing that runs around the stairs to offer additional security. They also have a wider tread to prevent slipping and falling. For a more stylish look, consider an stairwell with built-in storage drawers that are ideal for keeping your kids' rooms organized and tidy.
Another option to save space is by opting for loft beds that don't connect to the bottom bunk with an elevated ladder and leaves plenty of room underneath for children to play or to sleep. Many of these bunk and loft beds are designed to resemble a treehouse or other amusing structure, making them an ideal choice for children who love spending time outside. Some of our loft and bunk beds come with a slide for an extra touch of fun.

These beds use vertical space to store clothing books, toys, and more, without taking up valuable floor space. These beds work well with both modern and traditional bedroom styles.
