Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for children are a great option to save money while maximizing space. Look for models with solid foundations and mattress supports that prevent gaps or spaces where children could become trapped or stuck.
The method by which the bed is accessed is also important. Bunk beds are typically accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders take up less space than standard ladders that are vertical.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal solution to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for children are a great option to free up space in a small space or attic. They also provide comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds come with twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your children can share a bed while enjoying their own space. A bunk bed for three is a great option, especially in the event that you plan to use the lower bunk as a playroom or office during the day.
Most bunks come with an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. For safety reasons, the ladder's height should be no higher than 5-6 feet from the ceiling. This will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk doesn't sleep too high.
If you want to keep your children's bedroom furniture in style think about a wooden bunk bed with stairs. This not only provides an additional stylish element to your kids' room, but it also offers ample storage space for each book, toy or items they'll need to stow away.
Some bunks can be converted to a futon. This lets your kids use the lower bed as a sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night to provide an incredibly comfortable bed. This kind of bunk is perfect if you have the room and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space to fit the traditional bunk bed, consider a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of your kids room, leaving the remaining space for other kids' furniture like dressers or shelves. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while in bed. This helps them stay focused during their study time and promotes good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are an ideal solution for children who want to sleep in separate rooms, but do not have the space to have two separate rooms. Most of our bunk beds come with a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb up to the top bed. This is much safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which could be risky. Kids should only attempt to climb up onto the top bunk only if they are mature enough to climb safely, which typically happens when they are at least six years old.
Although many parents are enticed to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we suggest selecting beds that have angled ladders for more security and ease of use. These ladders offer a smoother climbing experience, and are also more comfortable to hold. To climb, kids simply put their feet on each rung one at a and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. For added safety, consider choosing a ladder that has grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand hole cutouts that allow kids to hold onto as they climb.
If you are looking for an option that is permanent there are a myriad of types of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of a bunk bed. The stairs have a railing that surrounds the staircase for additional safety and also a larger tread to prevent slips and falls. For a more decorative look, you can choose the stairs that have built-in storage drawers that are a great way to keep your children's rooms organized and tidy.
