Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are an excellent way to maximize space while saving money on separate rooms. Look for models that have solid foundations and mattress supports to stop gaps or areas where children can become trapped or entangled.
The method by which the bed is accessible is also a crucial aspect. Bunk beds are usually accessed via stairs or ladders and angled ladders take less space than traditional ladders that are vertical.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal solution to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for kids are a great option to free up space in a small space or attic. They also provide comfort and style. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your children 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 lower bunk for a playroom or office during the day.
Most bunk beds have an entryway or ladder built into the frame. The ladder's height shouldn't exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling for safety reasons. This will prevent bumps on heads and to ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high.
If you're looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture stylish, consider choosing an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a fashionable design to your child's room but also provide ample storage space for all the toys, books and other knickknacks that they might need.
Some bunks can be expanded from a bed to a futon. This lets your children make use of the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night to provide the perfect place to sleep. This kind of bunk is great for rooms with a lot of space and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface.
If you don't have enough space for traditional bunks consider alternatives such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of the room. This allows 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 bed. This will help them stay focused and instil good habits during study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be a great solution for children who want to sleep in separate rooms but don't have enough space to have two separate rooms. Many of our beds have a ladder to make it easier for children to access the top bunk. This is safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which could be risky. Kids should only attempt to climb onto the top bunk when they are mature enough to climb safely, which is usually when they reach six years old.
Although many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds that have straight ladders, we suggest selecting beds that have angled ladders for more security and ease of use. They provide a smoother climbing experience, and they're also easier to grasp. To climb, kids put their feet on the rungs one at a time and move up until they reach the top bunk. To ensure security, you should consider a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps as well as hand hole cutouts that make it easier for children to hold onto when they climb.
If you are seeking an option that is permanent, there are many different styles of stairways that can be permanently mounted to the frame of a bunk bed. They have a railing around the staircase to ensure safety. They also feature a wider tread that prevents slipping and falling. You can pick an item with built-in drawers for a more decorative appearance. This is a great choice to keep your child's space clean and organized.
Another method to reduce space is to select an loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk by a ladder at all leaving plenty of space underneath for kids to play or sleep. The loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, making them a great option for kids who enjoy spending time in the outdoors. Some of our bunk beds and lofts also feature an optional slide to add an extra element of fun.
Extra Storage
A variety of loft and bunk bed options offer additional storage space to ensure that children's rooms are neat. These beds make use of vertical space to store clothes, books, toys and more, without taking up valuable floor space. These beds work well with both modern and traditional bedroom styles.
