Why You're Failing At Kids Bunk Bed
Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space while saving money on separate rooms. Look for models with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or spaces that children might be trapped or entangled.
The way the bed is accessed is also important. Bunk beds are typically accessible via ladders or stairs, and angled ladders take less space than traditional ladders that are vertical.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal way to make the most of a tiny space. Whether you're looking to outfit an attic bedroom or the most compact room in your home, bunk beds for kids help you reduce floor space without sacrificing any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin designs, which means your kids can share a bed while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed can be an excellent option, especially in the event that the lower bunk is used as an office or playroom during the daytime.
Most bunk beds have an escalator or ladder built into the frame. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling due to safety concerns. This will prevent bumps on heads while making sure that the child sleeping on the top bunk isn't high up.
If you want to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style think about an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a stylish design to your child's room and provide plenty of storage space for all the books, toys and knickknacks they may need.
Some bunks can be converted to a futon. This allows your kids to make use of the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night for an incredibly comfortable bed. This kind of bunk bed is ideal for those who have plenty of space and your kids are old enough to manage the extra sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space to fit a traditional bunk bed, look into a corner bunk or loft. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This makes room 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 in their bed. This will help them remain focused and help them develop good habits during study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are ideal for children who wish to sleep separately but don't have enough space to create two separate bedrooms. Many of our beds have an incline to make it easier for children to climb up the top bunk. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which can be dangerous. Kids should only attempt to climb up onto the top bunk if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which is usually when they reach six years old.
Many parents are tempted by the straight ladders on bunk beds, but we suggest angle ladders to improve safety and convenience. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience, and are also more comfortable to hold. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs in a sequence and then climb up until they reach the top bunk. For added security, you should consider a ladder with grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand hole cutouts that make it easier for kids to hold onto as they climb.
If you are seeking an option that is permanent, there are many different styles of stairways that can be permanently attached to the frame of bunk beds. These stairs feature a railing that surrounds the staircase to provide additional security, and they have a larger tread to prevent slips and falls. You can select an option with built-in drawers to give it an appealing appearance. This is a great option to keep your child's bedroom neat and tidy.
Another option to save space is to select a loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk with a ladder at all, which leaves plenty of room underneath for children to play and to sleep. These bunk beds and lofts often resemble a fun treehouse, which makes them an ideal choice for kids who enjoy playing outdoors. bunk bed for kids of our bunk beds and lofts have a slide that can be added to add a touch of fun.
Extra Storage

They can store clothes, books toys, and other items vertically, saving valuable floor space. These beds work well with both modern and traditional bedroom styles.
