Kids Bunk Bed Isn't As Difficult As You Think
Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space while saving money on separate rooms. Look for models that have solid foundations and mattress supports to prevent gaps or spaces where children could become stuck or trapped.
Another consideration is how the bed can be accessed: bunks usually feature stairs or ladders and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal way to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for children are a great way to save space in a tiny room or attic. They also offer 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 bunk bed for three is also an ideal option, especially in the event that you plan to use the bottom bunk as a playroom or office during the day.
Most bunks have ladders built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. The ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling for safety reasons. This will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk does not sleep too high.
You should consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs for your kids' bedroom furniture to be elegant. This not only provides an extra stylish touch to the room of your child but it also provides ample storage space for every book, toy and items they'll require to store away.
Some bunks also offer the ability to convert from a standard bed into the futon. This lets your kids use the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime, and then pull out the top futon to make a comfortable sleeping area at night. This kind of bunk bed is perfect if you have enough space and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface.
If you don't have enough space for traditional bunks you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of your kids rooms, which leave the room for other kids' furniture such as shelves or dressers. Alternatively, some bunks feature beds with desks that are attached, making it simple for your young kids to work while lying down in bed. This will help them stay focused during study time and promotes good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are perfect for kids who want to sleep separately but don't have enough room to have two bedrooms. A majority of our beds feature a ladder that makes it easier for kids to reach the top bunk. This is more secure than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed, which can be risky. Kids should only attempt to climb on top bunks if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which usually happens when they reach six years old.
Many parents are enticed by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angles to increase the safety 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, consider choosing a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps and hand holes that make it easier for children to hold onto as they climb.
If you are looking for an all-time solution There are a variety of styles of stairways that can be permanently attached to the frame of bunk beds. They have an edging that is placed around the staircase for additional safety and also more treads to prevent slips and falls. For a more stylish look, consider an stairwell with built-in storage drawers, which are ideal for keeping your children's rooms organized and neat.
Another way to save space is by opting for a loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk with a ladder at all, which leaves plenty of room underneath for children to play and to sleep. Many of these bunk and loft beds are designed to look like a treehouse or another structures that are fun, making them the ideal option for children who love to spend time outdoors. Some of our bunk and loft beds include a slide that can add a spark of excitement.
Extra Storage
Many bunk and loft beds have additional storage space to ensure that children's rooms are neat. These beds can be used to store books, clothes, toys, and more vertically, which saves valuable floor space. These beds work well with both traditional and modern bedroom styles.

A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an a simple way to add extra storage to your kiddo's bunk bed.

This is a great choice for children who share rooms, since it allows them to keep one another's belongings away from each other's reach.
This Maxtrix loft comes with a built in desk and hutch to create a study nook. The solid wood desk can be easily removed from under the bed, and then folded back in when not in use.

Fun Slide
The fun factor of bunk beds for kids can be increased with the addition of slide. The excitement of kids racing down the top bunk stimulates imagination and play and makes it easier for them to fall asleep at night.
Bunk beds with slides offer an excellent way to combine play and sleep in the same space that is ideal for sharing rooms for children and families that are growing. Kids can race one another up the ladder and then slide down the slide, bringing hours of fun to their room.
