Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for children are a great option to save money and maximize space. Find beds with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to prevent gaps or spaces in which children could become stuck or trapped.
The method by which the bed is accessed is also important. Bunk beds are typically accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders use less space than traditional vertical ladders.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are a great method to make the most of space in a small room. Bunk beds for children are a great option to free up space in a small room or attic. They also provide comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your children can share a bed while having their own space. A bunk bed for three is also a great option, especially if you plan to use the bottom bunk as an office or playroom during the day.
The majority of bunks have a ladder built into the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling due to safety concerns. This will prevent bumps on heads while ensuring the younger child sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high up.
If you're looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture looking chic think about an oak bunk bed with stairs. This not only provides an extra stylish touch to the room of your child but it also provides ample storage space for every book, toy and knick-knack they may require to put away.
Some bunks can also be expanded from a bed to a futon. This lets your children use the lower bed as a sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night to provide a comfortable place to sleep. This kind of bunk bed is great for those who have plenty of space and your kids are old enough to be able to handle the extra sleeping space.
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 leaves space for other furniture, like dressers or shelves. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while in their beds. This can 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 in a separate room but don't have enough room to have two bedrooms. Many of our beds have a ladder that makes it easier for kids to access the top bunk. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which can be dangerous. Children should only climb onto the top bunk if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which usually happens when they reach six years old.
Many parents are enticed to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we recommend choosing beds that have angled ladders for more security and ease of use. These ladders are easier to grasp and offer a smoother experience. 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. 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 on to as they climb.
If you're looking for a permanent solution, we have several different types of stairs that can be fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs have a railing that surrounds the staircase for additional safety and a larger tread to prevent accidents and falls.
