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 that eliminate gaps or spaces where children could become trapped or stuck.
The way the bed is accessible is also a crucial aspect. kids bunk bed 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 a great way to make the most of a tiny space. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or the smallest room in your home, bunks for kids can help you save floor space, without giving up any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin designs, which means your children can share a bed while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent choice, particularly when the bunk on the bottom will be used as an office or playroom during the daytime.
Most bunks have ladders built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. To ensure safety the ladder's height should not be more than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This will avoid head bumps and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't sleep too high.
If you're looking to keep your kids' bedroom furniture looking chic think about a wooden bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a stylish touch to your child's bedroom, but also provide ample storage space for all the toys, books and other knickknacks that they might need.
Some bunks offer the ability to expand from a standard bed into the futon. This lets your children use the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then pull out the top futon to make a comfortable sleeping area at night. This type of bunk bed is perfect for those who have plenty of space and your kids are old enough to be able to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space to fit the traditional bunk bed, look into a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of the room. This makes room for other furniture such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, which means that your kids can do their homework while in their bed. This will help them to stay focused and instil good habits during study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are great for kids who want to sleep in a separate room but don't have enough space to have two bedrooms. Many of our beds have an incline to make it easier for children to access the top bunk. This is safer than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed which can be risky. Children should only climb the top bunk when they can safely do so. This usually happens at least six years of age.
Although many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds with straight ladders, we would suggest choosing beds with angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders are more comfortable to hold and offer a smoother experience. To climb, kids simply put their feet on each rung one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Look for a ladder with handhole cutouts and anti-slip grooves to help children to grip the ladder as they climb.
If you're looking for an option that is permanent, there are many different designs of stairways that could be permanently mounted to the frame of bunk beds. The stairs have a railing that encircles the staircase to provide additional security, and they have an extra wide tread to avoid slips and falls. You can choose an option with built-in drawers to give it a more decorative appearance. This is a great option to keep your child's bedroom organized and tidy.
A loft bed that doesn't have a ladder connecting it to the bottom bunk is another way to save space. This gives more space for kids to play and sleep under. These bunk beds and lofts often resemble a fun treehouse, making them an excellent choice for kids who enjoy playing outside. Some of our loft and bunk beds come with an optional slide to add an extra spark of excitement.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds also have storage options to help kids keep their rooms neat and tidy. These beds use vertical space to store clothing books, toys, and more without taking up valuable floor space. These beds are compatible with both traditional and modern bedroom styles.

A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an the perfect way to add extra storage space to your child's bunk bed. It has two drawers for clothing and footwear, bedtime essentials, and other things. The drawers have unidirectional casters which make it simple for children to open and shut them. This is an excellent option for children who share the same space, as it helps to keep each other's possessions out of each other's reach.
This Maxtrix loft bed also includes an integrated desk and an hutch to create a practical study area.

Fun Slide
The fun of a bunk bed for kids can be enhanced even further with the addition of slides. The excitement of the children rushing down the top bunk is a great way to encourage creative play and activities, making it easier for them to fall asleep at time of night.
