Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great choice to save money and make the most of space. Choose models with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to avoid gaps or spaces where children may become stuck or entangled.
The method by which the bed can be accessible is also crucial. Bunk beds are usually accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders use 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 small space in your home, bunks for kids help you save floor space, without giving up any comfort or style. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen configurations so your kids can sleep side by side while still having their own space. A bunk bed for three is also a great option, especially if you plan to use the bottom bunk for a playroom or office during the day.
The majority of bunks have an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. The ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling to ensure safety. This will prevent bumps on heads and to ensure that the kid sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high up.
Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs for your kids' bedroom furniture to look stylish. This not only provides an additional stylish element to your children's room however, it also offers ample storage space for every book, toy or things they might require to store away.
Some bunks can be expanded from a bed to a futon. This lets your children utilize the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day, and then pull out the top futon to create an ideal sleeping space at night. This kind of bunk is ideal for rooms with a lot of space and your kids are old enough to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space to accommodate a traditional bunk bed, think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of your child's rooms, which leave the space for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while in their beds. This helps them remain focused during the study period and encourages good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be a great solution for children who want to sleep in separate rooms, but don't have enough space for two separate rooms. Many of our bunk beds are equipped with a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb up to the top of the bed. This is much safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which can be dangerous. 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 reach six years old.
Many parents are attracted by the straight ladders that are found on bunk beds, but we suggest angles to increase safety and convenience. They provide a smoother climbing experience, and they're also more comfortable to hold. To climb up, kids simply put their feet on each rung one at a and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. To ensure security, you should consider a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps as well as hand holes that make it easier for kids to hold onto when they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we offer several different types of stairs that can be fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs are equipped with an edging around the staircase to ensure safety. They also feature a wider tread to prevent slipping and falling. For a more decorative look, you can choose an stairwell with built-in storage drawers that are an excellent way to keep your children's rooms tidy and tidy.
Another option to save space is by opting for a loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk with an elevated ladder and leaves plenty of space underneath for kids to play or sleep. Many of these loft and bunk beds are designed to be reminiscent of a treehouse or some other amusing structure, making them an ideal choice for children who love to spend time outdoors. Some of our bunk beds and lofts come with a slide to add a touch of fun.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds also have storage options to help kids keep their rooms tidy and clean. These beds use vertical space to store clothing, books, toys and more, without taking up valuable floor space. They also work in modern and traditional bedroom designs.
