Kids Bunk Bed – A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space while saving money on separate rooms. Choose beds that have solid foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or areas where children can get stuck or caught.
Another factor to consider is how the bed is accessed: bunks usually feature ladders or stairs and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal method to make the most of space in a small room. Bunk beds for children are a great way to free up space in a small room or attic. They also offer convenience and elegance. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen designs so that your children can sleep side by side while enjoying their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent choice, particularly in the event that the lower bunk is used as a playroom or office during the day.
Most bunks have an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. metal bunk beds ‘t exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling for safety reasons. This is to prevent bumped heads while ensuring the younger kid sleeping on the top bunk doesn’t get too high.
Think about a wooden bunkbed that has stairs If you want your child’s bedroom furniture to appear stylish. kids bunk bed with stairs provides an elegant touch to your kids’ room however, it also offers ample storage space for every book, toy or things they might require to store away.
Some bunks offer the ability to expand from a standard bed into a futon. This lets your children use the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night for an incredibly comfortable bed. This kind of bunk bed is perfect if you have enough space and your kids are old enough to manage the extra sleeping space.
If you don’t have enough space for a traditional bunk you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of your kids room, leaving the space for other furniture like dressers or shelves. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while still in their beds. This can help them remain focused and help them develop good habits during study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are the ideal solution for kids who want to sleep in separate rooms, but don’t have enough space to have two separate rooms. Many of our bunk beds come with a ladder that makes it easy for children to climb up to the top bed. This is safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which can be risky. Kids should only climb the top bunk when they are able safely do so. This usually happens at least six years of age.
Many parents are enticed by the straight ladders that are found on bunk beds, but we suggest angle ladders to improve the safety and ease of use. They provide a smoother climbing experience, and they’re also more comfortable to hold. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs one at atime and then move upwards until they reach the top bunk. For even more safety, consider choosing a ladder with grooved anti-slip steps and hand hole cutouts that make it easier for kids to hold onto while they climb.
If you’re looking for a permanent solution, we offer various styles of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. These stairs have a railing around the staircase to provide additional safety. They also have a wider tread to prevent slipping and falling. You can pick an option with built-in drawers for a more decorative appearance. This is a great option to keep your child’s bedroom organized and tidy.
Another way to save space is by opting for an loft bed that doesn’t connect to the bottom bunk with a ladder at all and leaves plenty of room underneath for children to play or sleep. The loft and bunk beds often resemble a fun treehouse, making them an ideal choice for kids who enjoy playing outside. Some of our loft and bunk beds also feature an optional slide for an extra touch of fun.
