Don't Believe In These "Trends" About Kids Bunk Bed
Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for children are a great option to save money and make the most of space. Look for models that have sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to avoid gaps or spaces in which children may become stuck or entangled.
The way the bed is accessible is also crucial. Bunk beds are generally accessed via stairs or ladders and angled ladders take less space than standard ladders that are vertical.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal way to maximize a small space. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or even the most compact room in your home, bunks for kids help you save floor space without losing any style or comfort. The majority of bunk beds are twin over full or queen over twin designs, which means your children can share a bed while still having their own space. A bunk bed for three is also an ideal option, especially when you intend to use the bottom bunk as an office or playroom during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds have an escalator or ladder built into the frame. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling to ensure safety. This will prevent bumps on heads while ensuring the younger child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high up.
You should consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs for your kids' bedroom furniture to be elegant. This will not only add a chic accent to your child's bedroom, but also provide ample storage space for all the books, toys and knickknacks they may need.
Some bunks also offer the possibility of expanding from a standard bed to the futon. This lets your children use the lower bed as a sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night to provide the perfect place to sleep. This kind of bunk is ideal if you have the room and your kids are old enough to manage the extra sleeping space.
If you don't have enough space for traditional bunks you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are placed in the corner of the room. This allows room for other furniture, like cabinets or shelves. Some bunks also have beds that have desks connected, which makes it simple for your young ones to do homework while lying down in the bed. This helps them remain focused during their study time and helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing bunk bed for kids are a great solution for children who want to be able to sleep in separate rooms but don't have enough space for two separate rooms. A majority of our beds feature a ladder that makes it easier for kids to reach the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which can be dangerous. Children should only climb up onto the top bunk only if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which is usually when they are at least six years old.
Many parents are enticed by the straight ladders that are found on bunk beds, but we recommend angle ladders to improve the safety and ease of use. These ladders are more comfortable to hold and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, 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 safety, choose a ladder with grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand holes that make it easier for children to hold on to as they climb.
If you are looking for an option that is permanent, there are many different designs of stairways that could be fixed permanently to the frame of bunk beds. These stairs have an edging around the staircase to offer additional security. They also have a larger tread that prevents slipping and falling. You can pick an option with built-in drawers to give it a more decorative appearance. This is a great way to keep your child's space neat and tidy.
Another way to save space is to choose a loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk using an elevated ladder and leaves plenty of space beneath for kids to play or sleep. Many of these loft and bunk beds are designed to look like a treehouse or another fun structure, so they're a great choice for kids who love spending time outside. Some of our loft and bunk beds come with a slide to add a touch of fun.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds provide additional storage options for kids to keep their rooms tidy and clean. They can store books, clothes toys, and other items vertically, which saves valuable floor space. These beds also work well in traditional and modern bedroom designs.
