Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great choice to save money while maximizing space. Look for models that have sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to avoid gaps or spaces in which children may become stuck or entangled.
Another thing to consider is how the bed is accessible: bunks are usually equipped with staircases or ladders and angled ladders take less space than traditional vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be an excellent way to maximize space in a tiny room. Whether you're looking to outfit an attic bedroom or even the small space in your home, bunks for kids help you save floor space without sacrificing any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds come with twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your kids can sleep side-by-side while still enjoying their personal space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent option, especially in the event that the lower bunk can be used as a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds come with an escalator or ladder built into the frame. For safety reasons the ladder's height should not be more than 5-6 feet from the ceiling. This will prevent bumps on heads while making sure that the kid sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high.
If you want to keep your kids' bedroom furniture stylish look into a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This will not only add a chic touch to your child's bedroom and provide plenty of storage space for all the books, toys and other items they might require.
Some bunks also have the ability to expand from a standard bed to an actual futon. This allows your kids to use the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night to provide an incredibly comfortable bed. This type of bunk is perfect for rooms with a lot of space and your kids are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface.
If you don't have enough space for the traditional bunk you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of the room. This allows room for other furniture like dressers or shelves. Alternatively, some bunks feature beds with desks attached, which makes it simple for your little ones to do homework while lying in the bed. This helps them stay focused during the study period and promotes good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are great for kids who want to sleep in a separate room but don't have the space to create two separate bedrooms. Many of our beds have a ladder that makes it easier for kids to climb up the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which can be risky. Children should only climb the top bunk when they are able to safely do so. This usually happens at least six years of age.
Many parents are tempted by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angles to increase the safety and ease of use. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience, and are also easier to grasp. To climb up, kids simply place their feet on each rung one at a and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Look for kids double bunk bed with anti-slip grooves as well as handhole cutouts to make it easier for youngsters to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If you're seeking a permanent solution there are a myriad of styles of stairways that can be fixed permanently to the frame of a bunk bed. These stairs feature an edging that is placed around the stairs to ensure safety and an extra wide tread to avoid falls and slips. You can pick a set with built-in drawers for an attractive appearance. This is a great option to keep your child's space organized and tidy.
Another way to save space is to select loft beds that don't connect to the bottom bunk by any ladder and leaves plenty of space beneath for children to play or sleep. These bunk beds and lofts typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them an ideal choice for kids who enjoy spending time outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds have a slide that can be added to add a touch of fun.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds also have storage options to help kids keep their rooms tidy and clean. These beds make use of vertical space to store clothing books, toys, and much more without taking up valuable floor space. These beds can also be used in modern and traditional bedroom designs.

A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is the perfect method to add storage space to your child's bunk bed.

Fun Slide
The fun of bunk beds for kids can be increased by adding a slide. Children love to race down the slide from the top bunk. The excitement encourages activity and imaginative play, making it easier to get them up and ready for the night's sleep.
