Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space and save money on separate rooms. Choose models with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to prevent gaps or spaces in which children could become stuck or entangled.
Another consideration is how the bed is accessible: bunks are usually equipped with staircases or ladders with angled ladders taking less space than standard vertical ones.
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 smallest room in your home, bunks for kids will help you reduce floor space without giving up any comfort or style. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your children can sleep side-by-side while still enjoying their personal space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent option, especially if the bottom bunk can be used as an office or playroom during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds have an escalator or ladder built into the frame. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling for safety reasons. This is to prevent bumped heads and to ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk isn't high up.
Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs if you want your children's bedroom furniture to be stylish. This will not only add an additional stylish element to your kids' room however, it also offers ample storage space for each book, toy, and other things they might require to store away.
Some bunks can be converted from a bed to a futon. This lets your kids make use of the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day and then slide out the top futon to create an ideal sleeping space at night. 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 additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space to fit the traditional bunk bed, think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of your children's' room, which leaves the space for other kids' furniture such as shelves or dressers. Some bunks also have beds that have desks connected, which makes it simple for your young ones to do homework while lying in bed. This will help them stay focused and instil good habits during study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are ideal for kids who want to be able to sleep independently but don't have the space to create two separate bedrooms. Many of our beds have an incline to make it easier for children to access the top bunk. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which can be risky. Children should only climb on the top bunk when they are able safely climb it. This is usually at least six years of age.
Many parents are enticed to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we would suggest selecting beds with angled ladders to increase security and ease of use. These ladders offer a smoother climbing experience and are also easier to grip. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs one at atime and then climb up until they reach top bunk. For even more security, you should consider a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps and hand hole cutouts that make it easier for kids to hold onto while they climb.
If you are looking for an all-time solution, there are many different styles of stairways that can be permanently mounted to the frame of bunk beds. The stairs are equipped with an edging around the staircase to ensure safety. They also have a wider tread that stops people from sliding and falling. You can choose an item with built-in drawers for an appealing appearance. This is a great choice to keep your child's space neat and tidy.
A loft bed that doesn't have a ladder that connects it to the bunk below is another method of reducing space. This allows more space for kids to play and sleep underneath. These bunk beds and lofts often resemble a fun treehouse, which makes them an excellent choice for children who love spending time outdoors. Some of our bunk and loft beds come with an optional slide for an additional spark of excitement.
Extra Storage
Many bunk and loft beds offer additional storage options to help children keep their rooms tidy. These beds use vertical space to store clothing books, toys, books and more without taking up valuable floor space. These beds can be used with both modern and traditional bedroom styles. Pottery Barn Kids has a numerous twin over full beds that will fit your child's room and their needs.
A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an easy way to add extra storage space to your child's bunk bed. It has two drawers to store clothing, footwear, bedtime essentials, and other items. The drawers come with unidirectional casters that make it easy for children to open and close them. This is an excellent option for children sharing rooms, since it can help keep the belongings of one another away from each other's reach.
This Maxtrix loft comes with a built in desk and hutch, which can be used as a study nook. The solid wood desk for kids can easily be removed from under the bed, and folds up when it is not in use, leaving space to play. It's a smart solution for children who love to make crafts all day long or use the computer for school assignments.
If it's time for bed the bunk at the bottom of this Maxtrix can be transformed into a comfortable sofa. This is a great choice for children who love having friends over for sleepovers or for parents trying to make space in their guest room. This twin futon is also a great option for kids younger than the age of transitioning from cribs to regular beds.
Kids who love to climb and have lots of energy will love the unique design and practicality of a bunk or loft bed. These beds are a great alternative to traditional bedroom furniture. They are available in a variety of different styles, finishes, and configurations. There are also options that include a storage ladder or a trundle bed for guests staying over which makes it simple to accommodate the changing needs of a family's requirements in a single space.
Fun Slide
The fun of bunk beds for kids can be enhanced even further by adding slide. The excitement of the children running down the top bunk is a great way to encourage creative play and activities, making it easier for them to fall asleep at night.
Bunk beds that have slides are a great way to combine sleep and play in one space, perfect for shared kid's rooms and growing families. Kids can race up the ladder, then slide down the slide. This can bring hours of fun to their space.
Our unique loft and bunk bed with slide models come in full and twin sizes so that they can fit comfortably in most rooms. They can be separated at a later time to create two standard beds. The bunk bed frame comes in a natural finish, but it is also ordered with either a White or Chestnut finish.
For rooms with a limited space, our bunk beds with slides include the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower, which can be connected to either the back of the ladder, or the front of the frame for the bunk bed. Based on the assembly height the slide extends about 190 cm into the room and an exit opening of 70cm is required.
