kids beds Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space and save money on separate rooms. Find beds with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or spaces that children might be trapped or entangled.
Another consideration is how the bed can be accessed: bunks usually feature staircases or ladders, with angled ladders taking up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be the ideal method to make the most of space in a tiny room. Bunk beds for children are a great option to free up space in a small room or attic. They also provide comfort and style. Most bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your kids triple bunk beds can share a bed while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent option, especially if the bottom bunk will be used as an office or playroom during the daytime.
Most bunks have a ladder built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling to ensure safety. This will prevent bumps on heads while making sure that the kid sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high up.
If you're looking to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style think about an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a stylish accent to your child's bedroom, but also provide ample storage space for all the toys, books and other knickknacks that they might need.
Some bunks also offer the ability to expand from a standard bed into the futon. This lets your kids bunk beds with storage use the lower bed as a sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night to provide the perfect place to sleep. This kind of bunk bed is perfect for those who have plenty of space and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space for traditional bunks you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This allows room for other furniture, like dressers or shelves. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, so your kids can do their homework while in their beds. This helps them remain focused during study time and helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are a great solution for children who prefer to sleep in separate rooms, but don't have enough space for two separate rooms. A majority of our beds feature a ladder that makes it easier for children to access the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing over the sides of the 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 typically happens when they reach six years old.
Many parents are tempted by the straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angles to increase safety and convenience. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience, and they're also easier to grasp. To climb, kids put their feet on the rungs one at atime and then climb up until they reach the top bunk. Look for a ladder with anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to make it easier for children to grip the ladder while they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we offer several different types of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. They have a railing that runs around the stairs to ensure safety. They also have a larger tread that stops people from sliding and falling. You can pick an item with built-in drawers for a more decorative appearance. This is a great way to keep your child's bedroom neat and tidy.
Another way to save space is by opting for loft beds that don't connect to the bottom bunk using an elevated ladder leaving plenty of space beneath for children to play and sleep. A lot of these loft and bunk beds are designed to resemble a treehouse or other structures that are fun, making them a great choice for kids bunk beds with storage who enjoy spending time in the outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds have a slide that can be added to add an extra element of fun.
Extra Storage
Many bunk and loft beds offer additional storage to aid children in keeping their rooms tidy. These beds use vertical space to store clothes books, toys, and more without taking up valuable floor space. These beds can also be used in traditional and contemporary bedroom designs.

Fun Slide
A slide can boost the excitement of a kid's bunk bed. Kids love jumping down the slide from the top bunk, and the excitement encourages them to engage in imaginative play, making it much easier to get up and ready to go to the night's sleep.
