What Freud Can Teach Us About Kids Bunk Bed
Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
Bunk beds are an excellent option to maximize space whether you're looking to maximize your floor space, or able to accommodate a large family. Be on the lookout for things like the angled staircases, slides and ladders that are protruding.
It's not a good idea to hang anything from the top bunk as it can be a strangulation hazard.
Ladders
It can be difficult for both adults and kids to climb up into the top bunk. While some may be enticed to climb up, this is dangerous for older people, children or those with joint issues. Ladders can be a great solution to this issue and provide an easy and safe entry point for children.
There are a variety of ladder options for kids bunk beds including straight and angled ones. Straight ladders connect directly to the frame of the bunk bed, while angled ladders stick out a bit from either side. Angled ladders are an excellent option for small spaces and are a breeze to use for anyone of all ages since they offer more space for feet when climbing up the bunk. Ladders also come in various designs and colors so that you can pick one that is in keeping with the design of your room or complements your bunk's color scheme.
Another great option is to select bunk beds that have stairs that are located on the sides of the bunk. Stairs take up more space than a ladder but they do not extend from the bunk's side making them a great option for rooms with plenty of floor space. A lot of bunk beds for kids with stairs also come with cubbies that double as bed storage, ideal for storing toys, books and pajamas.
