Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for children are a great way to save money and maximize space. Look for models that have sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to prevent gaps or spaces in which children may become stuck or entangled.
Another factor to consider is how the bed can be accessible: bunks typically have ladders or stairs and angled ladders take up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are a great solution to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for children are a great way to make space in a small room or attic. They also provide comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds are twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your children can share a bed while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent option, particularly in the event that the lower bunk will be used as an office or playroom during the day.
The majority of bunks have an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling for safety reasons. This will stop heads from bumping 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 stylish. This will not only add a fashionable touch to your child's bedroom and provide plenty of storage space for all the toys, books and other knickknacks that they might need.
Some bunks offer the possibility of expanding from a standard bed to an actual futon. This lets your kids make use of the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night for an incredibly comfortable bed. This type of bunk bed is perfect if you have enough space and your children are old enough to manage the extra sleeping surface.
If you don't have enough space for a traditional bunk bed think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are set in the corner of your child's rooms, which leave the room for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while in bed. This will help them focus and develop good habits for studying.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be the ideal solution for kids who want to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space for two separate rooms. Many of our beds have a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb up the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which could be risky. Children should only climb up onto the top bunk when they are old enough to do so safely, which usually happens when they reach six years old.
Many parents are attracted by the straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angles to increase safety and convenience. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience, and they're also easier to grasp. To climb, children simply place their feet on each step one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. For even more safety, choose a ladder with grooved anti-slip steps as well as hand holes that make it easier for children to hold on to when they climb.
If you're looking for a permanent solution, we offer many different styles of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs have a railing that surrounds the staircase to provide additional security and more treads to prevent accidents and falls. You can choose a set with built-in drawers for an attractive appearance. This is a great option to keep your child's space clean and organized.
Another way to save space is to select an loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk by a ladder at all and leaves plenty of space beneath for kids to play or sleep. These loft and bunk beds often resemble a fun treehouse, which makes them an excellent choice for children who love playing outdoors. Some of our bunk and loft beds have an added slide to add an extra touch of excitement.
Extra Storage
Many bunk and loft beds offer additional storage options for kids to keep their rooms tidy and clean. These beds can be used to store books, clothes toys, and other items vertically, thereby saving floor space. These beds can also be used in traditional and contemporary bedroom designs.
