10 Things We All Hate About Kids Bunk Bed
Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Find beds with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that prevent gaps or areas that children might get stuck or caught.
Another consideration is how the bed is accessible: bunks are usually equipped with staircases or ladders and angled ladders take up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are an excellent option to maximize space in a tiny room. Bunk beds for children are a great way to make space in a tiny room or attic. They also provide comfort and style. Most 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 bunk bed for three is also an ideal option, especially when you intend to use the lower bunk as an office or playroom during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds have a ladder or staircase built into the frame. For safety reasons, the height of the ladder should not be more than 5 to 6 feet from the ceiling. This will prevent bumps on heads while ensuring the younger child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high up.
Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs If you want your child's bedroom furniture to be elegant. This not only provides an additional stylish element to the room of your child however, it also offers ample storage space for every book, toy, and other things they might require to store away.
Some bunks can also be converted to a futon. This allows your children to make use of the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime, and then pull out the top futon for an ideal sleeping space at night. This kind of bunk bed is perfect for those who have plenty of space and your children are old enough to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have enough space for a traditional bunk, look into options like a corner loft or bunk. These beds are placed in the corner of the room. This allows room for other furniture such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while in bed. This can help them stay focused and instil good habits during their study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are perfect for children who wish to sleep in a separate room but don't have the space for two separate bedrooms. A majority of our beds feature a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb up the top bunk. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bunk bed which could be dangerous. Children should only climb on the top bunk when they are able do it safely. This usually happens at least six years of age.
Many parents are enticed by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angle ladders to improve security and ease of use. These ladders are easier to grip and offer a smoother experience. To climb, children simply place 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 hole cutouts that make it easier for kids to hold on to as they climb.
If you're looking for a permanent solution, we provide various styles of stairs that can be fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs have a railing that surrounds the staircase for additional safety and an extra wide tread to avoid slips and falls. To give a more attractive look, consider an stairwell with built-in storage drawers. They are an excellent way to keep your children's rooms tidy and tidy.
A loft bed that doesn't have a ladder connecting it to the bottom bunk is another way to save space. This leaves more room for kids to play in and sleep under. These loft and bunk beds often resemble a fun treehouse, making them a great option for children who love being outside. Some of our bunk beds and lofts come with a slide for an extra touch of fun.
