Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great way to save money while maximizing space. Choose beds that have solid foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or spaces that children might get stuck or caught.
Another thing to consider is how the bed can be accessible: bunks are usually equipped with staircases or ladders with angled ladders taking less space than standard vertical ones.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal way to maximize space in a small space. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or the most compact room in your home, bunks for kids can help you save floor space without giving up any comfort or style. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen configurations so your children can share a bed while still enjoying their personal space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent option, particularly if the bottom bunk can be used as a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds come with a ladder or staircase built into the frame. To ensure safety it is recommended that the height of the ladder should be no higher than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This is to avoid bumped heads while making sure that the child who is sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high up.
If you want to keep your children's bedroom furniture stylish think about a wooden bunk bed with stairs. bunk bed for kids will not only add a chic accent to your child's bedroom but also provide ample storage space for all the books, toys and other knickknacks that they might need.
Some bunks can also be converted from a bed to a futon. This allows your children to utilize the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then pull out the top futon to make an ideal sleeping space at night. This type of bunk is ideal for rooms with a lot of space and your kids are old enough to handle the extra sleeping space.
If you don't have the space for the traditional bunk you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of the room. This leaves space for other furniture, like cabinets or shelves. Additionally, some bunks have beds with a desk connected, which makes it simple for your young children to complete their homework while sitting up in their bed. This will help them stay focused and instil good habits for studying.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are an ideal solution for children who want to sleep in separate rooms, but do not have the space for two separate rooms. Most of our beds come with a ladder to make it easier for children to access the top bunk. This is more secure than climbing the sides of the bunk bed, which could be dangerous. Kids should only climb the top bunk when they are able to do it safely. This is usually at least six years of age.
Many parents are tempted by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angle ladders to improve security and ease of use. These ladders are more comfortable to hold and provide a more pleasant experience. To climb, kids place their feet on the rungs in a sequence and then climb up until they reach top bunk. Look for a ladder with anti-slip grooves as well as handhole cutouts to make it easier for children to grip the ladder while they climb.
If you're seeking an all-time 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 stairs to ensure safety, and they have more treads to prevent falls and slips. You can pick a set with built-in drawers for a more decorative appearance. This is a great way to keep your child's room neat and tidy.
A loft bed without an attached ladder to the bottom bunk is another way to save space. This allows more space for kids to play in and sleep on. These bunk beds and lofts often resemble a fun treehouse, making them an excellent choice for kids who enjoy playing outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds include a slide that can add a spark of excitement.
Extra Storage
Many bunk and loft beds offer additional storage options to ensure that children's rooms are clean. These beds make use of vertical space to store clothing books, toys, books and more, without taking up valuable floor space. These beds can also be used in traditional and modern bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a wide selection of twin over full beds that are perfect for your child's room and their needs.
The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers is a great option to provide additional storage space to your child's bunk beds. It comes with two drawers that can be used to store shoes, clothing, bedtime necessities, and other things. The drawers are mounted on unidirectional casters, which make it easy for kids to open and close them. This is a great choice for kids who share the same space, as it allows them to keep each other's possessions away from each other's reach.
This Maxtrix loft bed has a built-in desk and an hutch to create a practical study nook. The solid wood desk for children easily pulls out from underneath the bed and folds up when it is not in use, leaving space for play.

Fun Slide
A slide can boost the fun factor of a kids bunk bed. The excitement of the children racing down the top bunk encourages creative play and activities and makes it easier to sleep at night.
Bunk beds with slides are the perfect opportunity to mix sleep and play in one space, ideal for shared rooms for kids and growing families. Kids can climb up the ladder, then slide down the slide. This will provide hours of fun in their space.
