kids l shaped bunk beds Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Kids bunk beds are an excellent way to maximize space and save money on separate rooms. Find beds with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to stop gaps or areas where children can become trapped or entangled.

Another consideration is how the bed can be accessible: bunks typically have ladders or stairs, with angled ladders taking less space than traditional vertical ones.

Space-saving Design

Bunk beds can be the ideal option to maximize space in a small space. Bunk beds for children are a great way to free up space in a small space or attic. They also offer comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds come with twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your kids can sleep side-by-side while still enjoying their personal space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent option, especially in the event that the lower bunk is used as an office or playroom during the day.

Most bunks come with a ladder built into the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. For safety reasons the ladder's height should not exceed 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk does not sleep too high.

If you want to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style, consider choosing a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. Not only will this add an additional stylish element to the room of your child, but it also offers ample storage for every book, toy and knick-knack they may require to store away.

Some bunks can also be expanded from a bed to a futon. This lets your kids use the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night for the perfect place to sleep. This kind of bunk is perfect if you have the room and your kids are old enough to manage the additional sleeping surface.

If you don't have enough space for the traditional bunk bed, consider a corner bunk or loft. These beds are placed across the corner of your kids room, leaving the room for other kids' furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Additionally, some bunks have beds with desks that are attached, making it easy for your little kids to work while sitting up in their bed. This will help them to focus and develop good habits for studying.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds can be an ideal solution for children who want to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space to have two separate rooms. A majority of our beds feature a ladder that makes it easier for children to reach the top bunk. This is safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which could be dangerous. Children should only climb on top bunks when they are old enough to do so safely, which typically happens when they reach six years old.

Many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds that have straight ladders, we suggest choosing beds with angled ladders to increase security and ease of use. These ladders offer a smoother climbing experience and are also more comfortable to hold. To climb, children simply set their feet on each rung one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. To ensure safety, choose a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps and hand holes that allow kids to hold on to while they climb.

If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we offer many different styles of stairs that can be fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. These stairs have an edging around the staircase to ensure safety. They also feature a wider tread to prevent slipping and falling. For a more stylish look, you can choose an stairwell with built-in storage drawers, which are a great way to keep your children's rooms tidy and neat.

A loft bed without a ladder that connects it to the bottom bunk is another option to reduce space. This gives more space for children to play and sleep under. The loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, making them an excellent choice for children who love playing in the outdoors. Some of our bunk and loft beds come with an optional slide to add an extra thrill.

These beds can store clothes, books, toys, and more vertically, saving valuable floor space. These beds can also be used in modern and traditional bedroom designs.

Fun Slide

A slide can enhance the enjoyment of a children's bunk bed. The excitement of kids racing down the top bunk stimulates creative play and activities and makes it easier for them to fall asleep at night.

Bunk beds that slide are a great choice for growing families and shared rooms. Kids can climb up the ladder, then slide down the slide. This will provide hours of fun in their space.
