Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Choose models with solid foundations and mattress supports to prevent gaps or areas where children can become trapped or entangled.
Another consideration is how the bed can be accessible: bunks typically have staircases or ladders with angled ladders taking up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal way to make the most of a tiny space. Bunk beds for children are a great option to free up space in a tiny room or attic. They also offer the comfort and style. Most bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your kids can share a bed while having their own space. A bunk bed for three is an excellent option, particularly when you intend to use the bottom bunk as a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of bunks have ladders built into the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. To ensure safety it is recommended that the ladder's height should be no higher than 5 to 6 feet from the ceiling. This will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't sleep too high.
If you're looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture in style look into a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This not only provides an elegant touch to the room of your child however, it also offers ample storage space for each book, toy or knick-knack they may need to stow 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 slide out the top futon to make an ideal sleeping space at night. This kind of bunk is perfect if you have the room and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface.

This leaves space for other furniture, like dressers or shelves. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, which means that your kids can do their homework while still in bed. This can help them stay focused and instil good habits during their study time.

Many of our beds have a ladder that makes it easier for kids to access the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which could be risky. Children should only climb on the top bunk when they are able to do it safely. This usually happens at least six years of age.
While many parents are tempted to buy bunk Bed bunk beds with straight ladders, we suggest selecting beds with angled ladders for added safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grip and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, children simply set their feet on each rung one at a and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Consider a ladder that has anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to help children to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
