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 models with solid foundations and mattress supports to avoid gaps or areas where children may become stuck or entangled.
Another factor to consider is how the bed is accessed: bunks usually feature ladders or stairs and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal way to maximize a small space. Whether you're looking to outfit an attic bedroom or even the small space in your home, bunk beds for kids help you save floor space without giving up any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your kids can share a bed, while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent option, particularly if the bottom bunk will be used as a playroom or office during the day.
Most bunk beds have an escalator or ladder built into the frame. For safety reasons the height of the ladder should not exceed 5 to 6 feet from the ceiling. This will avoid head bumps and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk does not sleep too high.
Think about a wooden bunkbed that has stairs for your kids' bedroom furniture to appear stylish. This not only provides an elegant touch to your kids' room however, it also offers ample storage for every book, toy, and other things they might require to store away.
Some bunks can be converted to a futon. This lets your kids make use of the lower bed as a sofa during the day and pull out the top futon in the evening for a comfortable place to sleep. This kind of bunk bed is perfect for those who have plenty of space and your kids are old enough to be able to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space for traditional bunks, look into options like a corner loft or bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of your child's' room, which leaves the space for other kids' furniture such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while in bed. This will help them stay focused during their study time and encourages good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are ideal for children who wish to be able to sleep independently but don't have enough space to create two separate bedrooms. Most of our beds come with an incline to make it easier for children to access 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 onto the top bunk when they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which usually happens when they reach six years old.
Many parents are enticed to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we would suggest choosing beds with angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience, and they're also more comfortable to hold. To climb up, kids simply put their feet on each step one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. For even more security, you should consider a ladder that has grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand holes that make it easier for kids to hold onto when they climb.
If you are looking for a permanent solution, there are many different types of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of a bunk bed. These stairs feature an edging that is placed around the staircase to provide additional security, and they have a larger tread to prevent slips and falls. You can select an item with built-in drawers to give it an attractive appearance. This is a great option to keep your child's room neat and tidy.
Another way to save space is to choose a loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk with an elevated ladder leaving plenty of space underneath for kids to play or sleep. The loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them a great option for kids who enjoy being outside. Some of our loft and bunk beds have an added slide to add an extra touch of excitement.
Extra Storage
Many bunk and loft beds offer additional storage options to ensure that children's rooms are tidy. These beds can be used to store clothes, books toys, books, and more vertically, thereby saving floor space. These beds are compatible with both traditional and modern bedroom styles. Pottery Barn Kids has a an extensive selection of twin beds that will fit your child's bedroom and requirements.
A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an a simple option to add more storage to your kiddo's bunk bed. It features two large drawers for clothing and footwear, bedtime essentials, and other items. The drawers are mounted on casters that are unidirectional making it easy for children to open and close them. This is a great option for children who share a room, as it helps to keep the belongings of one another out of reach.
This Maxtrix loft bed also includes a built-in desk as well as a an hutch to create a practical study nook. The solid wooden desk can be easily pulled out from under the bed, and folded back up when it is not being used. This allows for more room in the bedroom to play.

The fun factor of a bunk bed for kids can be enhanced even further by the addition of a slide. Kids love jumping down from the top bunk, and the excitement stimulates active and imaginative play, making it much easier to get up and ready to go to sleeping at night.
