Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports that prevent gaps or spaces that children might get stuck or caught.
The way the bed is accessible is also crucial. Bunk beds are generally accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders take less space than traditional ladders that are vertical.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal way to maximize space in a tiny room. Bunk beds for kids are a great option to make space in a small room or attic. They also provide the comfort and style. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen configurations so your kids can share a bed while still enjoying their personal space. A bunk bed for three is an ideal option, especially if you plan to use the bottom bunk as a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds have a ladder or staircase built into the frame. The ladder's height shouldn't exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling for safety reasons. This will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk does not sleep too high.
If you want to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style 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 other items they might require.
Some bunks also offer the ability to convert from a standard bed into the futon. This allows your kids to use the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night to provide a comfortable place to sleep. This kind of bunk bed is great for those who have plenty of space and your children are old enough to manage the additional sleeping surface.
If you do not have the space to fit a traditional bunk bed, consider a corner bunk or loft. These beds are placed across the corner of your children's room, leaving the remaining space for other kids' furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunks also have beds that have desks attached, which makes it simple for your young children to complete their homework while lying in their bed. This will help them focus and develop good habits during study time.
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. Many of our beds have an incline to make it easier for kids to reach the top bunk. This is more secure than climbing the sides of the bunk bed which can be risky. Kids should only attempt to climb on top bunks if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which usually happens when they are at least six years old.
Many parents are tempted by the straight ladders on bunk beds, but we suggest angles 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 in a sequence and then climb up until they reach the top bunk. Consider a ladder that has handhole cutouts and anti-slip grooves to make it easier for children to grip the ladder as they climb.
If you're looking for a permanent solution, we provide various styles of stairs that can be fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. These stairs have a railing that runs around the stairs to offer additional security. They also have a wider tread that prevents slipping and falling. To give a more attractive look, consider an stairwell with built-in storage drawers, which are an excellent way to keep your kids' rooms organized and neat.
