Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space while saving money on separate rooms. Choose beds that have solid foundations and mattress supports that prevent gaps or areas where children could become trapped or stuck.
The method by which the bed can be accessed is also important. Bunk beds are generally accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders take up less space than standard vertical ladders.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be a great way to maximize space in a small space. Bunk beds for kids are a great way to save space in a small space or attic. They also provide convenience and elegance. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen configurations so your kids can sleep side by side while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent choice, particularly if the bottom bunk can be used as an office or playroom during the daytime.
The majority of bunks have an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling to ensure safety. This is to avoid bumped heads while ensuring the younger child who is sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high.
Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs If you want your child's bedroom furniture to look elegant. This not only provides an extra stylish touch to your children's room but it also provides ample storage space for each book, toy or knick-knack they may require to put away.
Some bunks can be converted to a futon. This lets your kids use the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day, and then pull out the top futon for an incredibly comfortable sleeping area at night. This type of bunk bed is ideal when you have enough space and your kids are old enough to be able to handle the extra sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space for a traditional bunk you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of your child's room, leaving the remaining space for other kids' furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your kids can do their homework while still in bed. This will help them stay focused during their study time and encourages good habits.
Easy Climbing affordable bunk beds for kids can be a great solution for children who want to be able to sleep in separate rooms, but don't have enough space for two separate rooms. A majority of our beds feature a ladder to make it easier for kids to reach the top bunk. This is more secure than climbing the sides of the bunk bed which can be risky. Children should only climb on top bunks if they are old enough to do so safely, which usually happens when they reach six years old.
Many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds that have straight ladders, we suggest choosing beds with angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grip and provide a more pleasant experience. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs one at a time and then climb up until they reach the top bunk. For added safety, choose a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps as well as hand hole cutouts that make it easier for children to hold onto while they climb.
If you are looking for an option that is permanent, there are many different types of stairs that can be fixed permanently to the frame of a bunk bed. They have a railing that runs around the stairs to offer additional security. They also have a wider tread to prevent slipping and falling. For a more decorative look, consider a set of stairs with built-in storage drawers that are an excellent way to keep your children's rooms tidy and neat.
A loft bed without a ladder that connects it to the bunk below is another option to reduce space. This leaves more room for kids to play in and sleep on. A lot of these bunk beds and lofts are designed to look like a treehouse or another amusing structure, making them a great choice for kids who enjoy spending time outside. Some of our bunk and loft beds have an added slide to add an extra spark of excitement.
