The 10 Most Terrifying Things About Kids Bunk Bed

Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Kids bunk beds are an excellent way to maximize space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Choose beds that have sturdy foundations and mattress supports that prevent gaps or spaces that children might get stuck or caught.

Another consideration is how the bed can be accessible: bunks are usually equipped with ladders or stairs, with angled ladders taking less space than standard vertical ones.

Space-saving Design

Bunk beds are the ideal way to make the most of a tiny space. Bunk beds for kids are a great option to free up space in a small space or attic. They also offer comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds are twin over full or queen over twin designs, which means your kids can share a bed, while having their own space. A bunk bed for three is a great option, especially when you intend to use the bottom bunk for a playroom or office during the day.

Most bunks come with a ladder built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. The ladder's height shouldn't exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling to ensure safety. This will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk doesn't sleep too high.

If you're looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture stylish think about an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add an elegant touch to your kids' room however, it also offers ample storage space for every book, toy or items they'll require to store away.

Additionally, some bunks have beds that have desks attached, which makes it easy for your little ones to do homework while lying down in the bed. This will help them stay focused and instil good habits during their study time.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds are the ideal solution for kids bedroom furniture who prefer to sleep in separate rooms, but don't have enough space for two separate rooms. Many of our beds have 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 can be dangerous. Kids should only attempt to climb onto the top bunk only if they are old enough to do so safely, which typically happens when they are at least six years old.

While many parents are tempted to buy bunk beds that have straight ladders, we would suggest selecting beds with angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience, and are also easier to grip. To climb, children simply put their feet on each step one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Consider a ladder that has handhole cutouts and anti-slip grooves to allow children to grip the ladder while they climb.

The stairs have a railing that encircles the staircase for additional safety, and they have an extra wide tread to avoid slips and falls.
