Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Find beds with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to stop gaps or areas where children may become stuck or trapped.
The method by which the bed can be accessible is also crucial. Bunk beds are generally accessed via stairs or ladders, and angled ladders take less space than traditional vertical ladders.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be a great way to maximize space in a small room. Bunk beds for kids are a great way to make space in a tiny room or attic. They also offer comfort and style. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen designs so that your kids can share a bed while still enjoying their personal space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent choice, particularly when the bunk on the bottom can be used as a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds have an entryway or ladder built into the frame. To ensure safety, the ladder's height should not be more than 5-6 feet from the ceiling. This is to prevent bumped heads and to ensure that the kid sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high.
You should consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs if you want your children's bedroom furniture to look elegant. This will not only add a fashionable touch to your child's bedroom and provide plenty of storage space for all the toys, books and other items they might require.
Some bunks offer the ability to expand from a standard bed into an actual futon. This lets your children make use of the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day and then pull out the top futon to make an incredibly comfortable sleeping area at night. This kind of bunk bed is perfect if you have enough space and your children are old enough to manage the additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space for traditional bunks you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are placed across the corner of your child's rooms, which leave the room for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Alternatively, some bunks feature beds with a desk that are attached, making it simple for your little ones to do homework while sitting up in the bed. This helps them remain focused during study time and promotes good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are perfect for children who wish to be able to sleep independently but don't have enough room to create two separate bedrooms. Most of our beds come with an incline to make it easier for children to reach the top bunk. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bunk bed, which could be dangerous. Kids should only attempt to climb onto the top bunk when they are mature enough to climb safely, which typically happens when they reach six years old.
Many parents are tempted by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angles to increase security and ease of use. These ladders are easier to grasp and provide a more pleasant experience. To climb up, kids simply set their feet on each rung 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 and handhole cutouts to help children to grip the ladder while they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we offer several different types of stairs that can be permanently fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs have an edging that is placed around the staircase to provide additional security, and they have an extra wide tread to avoid slips and falls. For a more decorative look, you can choose an stairwell with built-in storage drawers. They are an excellent way to keep your children's rooms tidy and neat.
A loft bed without an attached ladder to the bottom bunk is another method of reducing space. This leaves more room for children to play and sleep underneath. A lot of these bunk and loft beds are designed to be reminiscent of a treehouse or some other fun structure, so they're the ideal option for children who love spending time outside. Some of our bunk beds and lofts also feature an optional slide for an extra touch of fun.
Extra Storage

These beds make use of vertical space to store clothes books, toys, and more without taking up valuable floor space. These beds are compatible with both modern and traditional bedroom styles.
