10 Easy Ways To Figure Out Your 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. Look for models with solid foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or spaces that children might be trapped or entangled.

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

Space-Saving Design

Bunk beds are a great way to maximize space in a small room. Bunk beds for kids are a great option to make space in a small room or attic. They also provide comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds are twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your kids can share a bed while still having their own space. A bunk bed for three is a great option, especially in the event that you plan to use the bottom bunk as an office or playroom during the day.

The majority of bunk beds come with an entryway or ladder built into the frame. For safety reasons it is recommended that the height of the ladder should be no higher than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't sleep too high.

If you're looking to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style think about a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This will not only add a fashionable touch to your child's bedroom but also provide ample storage space for all the books, toys and other items they might require.

Some bunks also have the ability to convert from a standard bed to the futon. This lets your children utilize the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day and then slide out the top futon for a comfortable sleeping area at night. This kind of bunk bed is ideal if you have enough space and your kids are old enough to manage the additional sleeping surface.

If you don't have enough space for a traditional bunk, look into options like a corner loft or bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of your children's rooms, which leave the remaining space for other kids' furniture like dressers or shelves. Alternatively, some bunks feature beds with a desk attached, which makes it simple for your young kids to work while lying down in the bed. This helps them remain focused during study time and encourages good habits.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds can be an ideal solution for children who want to be able to sleep in separate rooms, but do not have the space for two separate rooms. Most of our bunk beds are equipped with a ladder that makes it simple for children to climb up to the top bed. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bunk bed, which could be dangerous. Kids should only attempt to climb on top bunks when they are mature enough to climb safely, which is usually when they are at least six years old.

Many parents are enticed to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we suggest selecting beds that have angled ladders for more safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grasp and provide a more pleasant experience. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs one at atime and move up until they reach the top bunk. Consider a ladder that has anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to allow children to hold onto the ladder as they climb.

If you are looking for a permanent solution there are a myriad of designs of stairways that could be permanently attached to the frame of a bunk bed. These stairs feature a railing that encircles the staircase to provide additional security and also an extra wide tread to avoid accidents and falls. You can pick an option with built-in drawers to give it an attractive appearance. This is a great way to keep your child's space organized and tidy.

Another option to save space is to select an loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk using an elevated ladder leaving plenty of room underneath for children to play or to sleep. These loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them a great option for kids who enjoy spending time outside. Some of our bunk and loft beds come with an optional slide for an additional touch of excitement.

Extra Storage

Many bunk and loft beds also have storage options that can help children keep their rooms tidy and neat. These beds utilize vertical space to store clothes, books, toys and more, without taking up floor space. These beds also work well in traditional and contemporary bedroom designs.
