Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great choice to save money and maximize space. Choose models with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to avoid gaps or areas where children may become stuck or entangled.
Another consideration is how the bed is accessible: bunks typically have ladders or stairs and angled ladders take up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal way to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for children are a great option to free up space in a small room or attic. They also provide convenience and elegance. Most bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your kids can share a bed, while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed can be an excellent option, particularly if the bottom bunk is used as a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds come with a ladder or staircase built into the frame. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling for safety reasons. This will avoid head bumps and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk does not rest too high.
If you want to keep your children's bedroom furniture looking chic look into a wooden bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add an extra stylish touch to your children's room, but it also offers ample storage for every book, toy or knick-knack they may require to put away.
Some bunks can also be expanded from a bed to a futon. This lets your kids make use of the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day and pull out the top futon in the evening for an incredibly comfortable bed. This kind of bunk bed is ideal when you have enough space and your kids are old enough to be able to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If you do not have the space to accommodate a traditional bunk bed, consider a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are placed across the corner of your kids rooms, which leave the room for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunks also have beds with desks connected, which makes it simple for your little ones to do homework while sitting up in the bed. This helps them remain focused during the study period and encourages good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be a great solution for children who want to sleep in separate rooms, but don't have enough space to have two separate rooms. A majority of our beds feature an incline to make it easier for children to climb up the top bunk. This is more secure than climbing up the sides of the bunk 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 are at least six years old.
Many parents are tempted by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we suggest angles to increase security and ease of use. These ladders are more comfortable to hold and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, kids simply set their feet on each rung one at a and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. For even more safety, consider choosing a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps and hand holes that make it easier for kids to hold on to as they climb.
If you're looking for a permanent solution, we have many different styles of stairs that can be fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. They have an edging that is placed around the staircase for additional safety and also a larger tread to prevent accidents and falls. For a more decorative appearance, you can opt for a set of stairs with built-in storage drawers, which are a great way to keep your children's rooms organized and neat.
A loft bed without an attached ladder to the bunk below is another way to save space. This allows more space for kids to play in and sleep on. Many of these bunk and loft beds are designed to resemble a treehouse or other structures that are fun, making them an ideal choice for children who enjoy spending time outside. Some of our loft and bunk beds include a slide for an additional touch of excitement.
Extra Storage
Many bunk and loft beds offer additional storage space to ensure that children's rooms are tidy. These beds use vertical space to store clothing books, toys, and more without taking up valuable floor space. They also work in traditional and contemporary bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a an extensive selection of twin beds that will fit the room of your child and their needs.
