The Most Valuable Advice You Can Ever Receive On Kids Bunk Bed
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 with solid foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or spaces where children can get stuck or caught.
Another consideration is how the bed can be accessible: bunks are usually equipped with staircases or ladders, with angled ladders taking less space than traditional vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be the ideal way to maximize space in a tiny room. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or the smallest room in your home, bunks for kids can help you save floor space without losing any style or comfort. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your kids can share a bed while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed can be an excellent option, especially when the bunk on the bottom can be used as an office or playroom during the day.
Most bunks have ladders built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling due to safety concerns. This is to avoid bumped heads and to ensure that the child who is sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high up.
If you're looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture in style, consider choosing a wooden bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a fashionable touch to your child's bedroom and provide plenty of storage space for all the books, toys and knickknacks they may need.
Some bunks can be converted to a futon. This lets your kids use the lower bed as a sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night for an incredibly comfortable bed. This type of bunk bed is perfect when you have enough space and your kids are old enough to manage the extra sleeping space.
If you do not have the space to fit a traditional bunk bed think about a corner bunk or loft. These beds are positioned in the corner of your kids room, leaving the space for other kids' furniture like dressers or shelves. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your kids can do their homework while in bed. This helps them remain focused during the study period and helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are the ideal solution for kids who prefer to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space for two separate rooms. Most of our bunk beds are equipped with a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb up the top bed. This is safer than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed which can be risky. Kids should only attempt to climb up onto the top bunk if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which typically happens when they are at least six years old.
Many parents are enticed by the straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angle ladders to improve safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grip and provide a more pleasant experience. To climb, kids simply set their feet on each step one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Think about a ladder that comes with anti-slip grooves as well as handhole cutouts to help children to hold onto the ladder as they climb.
If you're looking for an all-time solution, there are many different designs of stairways that could be fixed permanently to the frame of a bunk bed. They have a railing that surrounds the stairs to ensure safety and an extra wide tread to avoid accidents and falls. To give a more attractive appearance, you can opt for an stairwell with built-in storage drawers. They are a great way to keep your kids' rooms organized and neat.
Another method to reduce space is to select loft beds that don't connect to the bottom bunk by an elevated ladder, which leaves plenty of space underneath for children to play or to sleep. These loft and bunk beds often resemble a fun treehouse, which makes them an excellent choice for kids who enjoy playing outside. Some of our bunk beds and lofts have a slide that can be added to add a touch of fun.
Extra Storage
A variety of loft beds and bunk beds also have storage options for kids to keep their rooms neat and tidy. These beds make use of vertical space to store clothing, books, toys and more, without taking up floor space. These beds can be used with both traditional and modern bedroom styles.
