This Is The New Big Thing In Kids Bunk Bed
Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great option to save money and make the most of space. Choose models with solid foundations and mattress supports to prevent gaps or areas where children could become stuck or trapped.
Another thing to consider is how the bed is accessed: bunks usually feature stairs or ladders, with angled ladders taking up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal solution to maximize a small space. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or even the smallest room in your home, bunk beds for kids will help you save floor space without sacrificing any comfort or style. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your children can sleep side by side while still 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 daytime.
The majority of bunk beds come with a ladder or staircase built into the frame. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling to ensure safety. This will prevent bumps on heads while ensuring the younger child who is sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high up.
If you want to keep your children's bedroom furniture in style think about a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. Not only will this add an elegant touch to the room of your child however, it also offers ample storage for every book, toy, and other knick-knack they may require to store away.
Some bunks also offer the ability to convert from a standard bed into an actual futon. This lets your children use the lower bed as a sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night for the perfect place to sleep. This type of bunk is perfect when you have a room and your children are old enough to manage the extra sleeping surface.
If you do not have the space to fit a traditional childrens bunk bed bed look into a corner bunk or loft. These beds are positioned in the corner of the room. This makes room for other furniture, like cabinets or shelves. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while still in bed. This helps them remain focused during their study time and encourages good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are great for kids who want to be able to sleep independently but don't have enough space for two separate bedrooms. Most of our beds come with an incline to make it easier for kids to reach the top bunk. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bunk bed which could be dangerous. Children should only climb up onto the top bunk if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which is usually when they reach six years old.
Many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds (have a peek here) with straight ladders, we recommend selecting beds with angled ladders to increase security and ease of use. These ladders are more comfortable to hold and provide a more pleasant experience. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs in a sequence and move up 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 as they climb.
If you're seeking a permanent solution, there are many different designs of stairways that could be permanently attached to the frame of a bunk bed. The stairs have a railing that encircles the staircase to provide additional security and also an extra wide tread to avoid slips and falls. To give a more attractive look, you can choose the stairs that have built-in storage drawers. They are ideal for keeping your children's rooms organized and neat.
A loft bed that doesn't have an attached ladder to the bottom bunk is another way to save space. This gives more space for children to play and sleep underneath. These bunk beds and lofts typically resemble a treehouse, making them an ideal choice for children who love being in the outdoors. Some of our bunk and loft beds come with an optional slide to add an extra spark of excitement.
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 use vertical space to store clothes, books, toys and much more without taking up floor space. These beds are compatible with both traditional and modern bedroom styles.

The fun of bunk beds for kids can be enhanced with the addition of slides. The excitement of kids running down the top bunk encourages imagination and play which makes it easier to sleep at the end of the night.
