Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Choose models with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to stop gaps or spaces where children could become stuck or entangled.
The way the bed is accessible is also crucial. Bunk beds are typically accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders use up less space than standard vertical ladders.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the perfect way to make the most of a tiny space. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or the most compact room in your home, bunk beds for kids help you save floor space, without giving up any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds are twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your kids can share a bed, while having their own space. A bunk bed for three is an excellent option, particularly if you plan to use the lower bunk as an office or playroom during the day.
The majority of bunks have an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling to ensure safety. This will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk does not sleep too high.
Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs for your kids' bedroom furniture to appear elegant. Not only will this add an elegant touch to your children's room, but it also offers ample storage for every book, toy or things they might require to store away.
Some bunks can also be expanded from a bed to a futon. This allows your kids to use the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon in the evening for a comfortable place to sleep. This type of bunk is perfect when you have a room and your kids are old enough to manage the additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space to fit a traditional bunk bed think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of the room. This makes room for other furniture, like dressers or shelves. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while still in their bed. This can help them focus and develop good habits during study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are great for children who wish to sleep in a separate room but don't have enough room to have two bedrooms. Many of our bunk beds have a ladder that makes it simple for children to climb up to the top bed. This is more secure than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed which could be dangerous. Kids should only climb the top bunk when they are able safely climb it. This is usually at least six years of age.
Many parents are attracted by the straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders are more comfortable to hold and offer a smoother experience. To climb, children simply place their feet on each rung one at a and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. For added security, you should consider a ladder that has grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand holes that make it easier for children to hold onto when they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we offer various styles of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. kids bunk beds feature a railing that encircles the stairs to ensure safety and also a larger tread to prevent falls and slips. You can choose a set with built-in drawers to give it a more decorative appearance. This is a great way to keep your child's bedroom neat and tidy.
A loft bed without an attached ladder to the bottom bunk is another way to save space. This leaves more room for kids to play in and sleep under. Many of these bunk and loft beds are designed to be reminiscent of a treehouse or some other fun structure, so they're a great choice for kids who enjoy spending time in the outdoors. Some of our bunk and loft beds come with an optional slide that can add a spark of excitement.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds have additional storage space to aid children in keeping their rooms clean. These beds utilize vertical space to store clothes, books, toys and more, without taking up valuable floor space. These beds also work well in traditional and contemporary bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a numerous twin over full beds that will fit the room of your child and their needs.
A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is the perfect option to add more storage space to your child's bunk bed.

The drawers come with unidirectional casters which make it simple for children to open and close them. This is a great option for children who share one room. It can help keep each other's belongings away from each other.
