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 sturdy foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or spaces that children might get stuck or caught.
Another consideration is how the bed can be accessible: bunks are usually equipped with stairs or ladders and angled ladders take less space than traditional vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal solution to maximize a small space. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or even the small space in your home, bunk beds for kids can help you save floor space without sacrificing any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds come with twin over full or twin over queen designs so that your kids can sleep side-by-side while enjoying their own space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent option, especially when the bunk on the bottom will be used as a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of bunks have ladders built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. The ladder's height shouldn't exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling for safety reasons. This will prevent bumping heads 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 child's bedroom furniture to be elegant. This will not only add an elegant touch to the room of your child, but it also offers ample storage space for every book, toy, and other knick-knack they may need to stow away.
Some bunks also offer the ability to convert from a standard bed to an actual futon. This allows your children to utilize the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day and then slide out the top futon to make a comfortable sleeping area at night. This type of bunk bed is ideal when you have enough space and your kids are old enough to manage the extra sleeping surface.
If you do not have the space to accommodate a traditional bunk bed, think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This makes room for other furniture, like cabinets or shelves. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, so your kids can do their homework while still in their beds. This helps them stay focused during their study time and promotes good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are an ideal solution for children who want to be able to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space to have two separate rooms. A majority of our beds feature an incline to make it easier for kids to reach the top bunk. This is more secure 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 old enough to be able to do it safely, which usually happens when they are at least six years old.
Many parents are enticed to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we would suggest choosing beds with angled ladders to increase security and ease of use. These ladders are more comfortable to hold and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, kids simply place their feet on each rung one at a and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Think about a ladder that comes with anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to help children to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If you're seeking an all-time solution There are a variety of designs of stairways that could be permanently mounted to the frame of bunk beds. These stairs have an edging around the staircase to offer additional security. They also have a larger tread to prevent slipping and falling. For a more stylish appearance, you can opt for an stairwell with built-in storage drawers, which are an excellent way to keep your children's rooms tidy and neat.
A loft bed that doesn't have a ladder connecting it to the bottom bunk is another method of reducing space. This leaves more room for kids to play in and sleep under. These loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, making them an excellent choice for kids who enjoy being outside. Some of our bunk beds and lofts have a slide that can be added for an extra touch of fun.
Extra Storage

These beds make use of vertical space to store clothes books, toys, and more, without taking up floor space. These beds can be used with both traditional and modern bedroom styles.
