Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Choose beds that have sturdy foundations and mattress supports that prevent gaps or areas where children could become trapped or stuck.
The method by which the bed is accessible is also a crucial aspect. Bunk beds are generally 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 perfect way to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for kids are a great way to make space in a tiny room or attic. They also provide convenience and elegance. Most bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your kids can share a bed while still having their own space. A bunk bed for three is also an ideal option, especially in the event that you plan to use the lower bunk as an office or playroom during the day.
The majority of bunk beds have an entryway or ladder built into the frame. For safety reasons the height of the ladder should not be more than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This is to prevent bumped heads while ensuring the younger child who is sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high up.
If you're looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture stylish, consider choosing a wooden bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a stylish touch to your child's bedroom, but also provide ample storage space for all the toys, books and other knickknacks that they might need.
Some bunks can also be expanded from a bed to a futon. This allows your children to make use of the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day and then slide out the top futon for an ideal sleeping space at night. This type of bunk bed is ideal when you have enough space and your children are old enough to manage the extra sleeping space.
If you don't have the space to accommodate a traditional bunk bed, think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of the room. This allows room for other furniture like cabinets or shelves. Some bunks also have beds with a desk connected, which makes it easy for your little children to complete their homework while lying down in the bed. bunk beds for kids will help them stay focused and instil good habits during their study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are ideal for kids who want to sleep separately but don't have enough space to have two bedrooms. Most of our bunk beds come with a ladder that makes it easy for children to climb up the top bed. This is safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which can be dangerous. Children should only climb onto the top bunk when they are mature enough to climb safely, which is usually when they are at least six years old.
Although many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds with straight ladders, we would suggest choosing beds with angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders are more comfortable to hold and provide a more pleasant experience. To climb, children simply set their feet on each rung one at a and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. For even more safety, consider choosing a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps and hand holes that allow kids to hold on to while they climb.
If you are seeking an option that is permanent There are a variety of designs of stairways that could be permanently attached to the frame of bunk beds. They have a railing around the staircase to ensure safety. They also have a wider tread that stops people from sliding and falling. You can pick an option with built-in drawers for a more decorative appearance. This is a great choice to keep your child's bedroom clean and organized.

They also work in traditional and contemporary bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a wide selection of twin beds that can be adapted to your child's room and their needs.
