Kids Bunk Bed: 11 Things You're Not Doing

Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Bunk beds for kids are a great option to save money while maximizing space. Find beds with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or areas where children could get stuck or caught.

The method by which the bed can be accessed is also important. Bunk beds are typically accessible via ladders or stairs, and angled ladders take up less space than standard ladders that are vertical.

Space-saving Design

Bunk beds are the ideal way to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for kids are a great option to free up space in a tiny room or attic. They also offer the comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your kids can share a bed, while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent choice, particularly if the bottom bunk is used as an office or playroom during the day.

The majority of bunk beds come with an escalator or ladder built into the frame. To ensure safety, the height of the ladder should be no higher than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This is to avoid bumped heads while making sure that the child sleeping on the top bunk isn't high.

Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs If you want your child's bedroom furniture to be stylish. Not only will this add an extra stylish touch to your kids' room, but it also offers ample storage space for each book, toy, and other knick-knack they may require to store away.

Some bunks can be converted from a bed to a futon. This allows your kids to use the lower bed as a sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon in the evening for an incredibly comfortable bed. This kind of bunk bed is perfect if you have enough space and your children are old enough to handle the additional sleeping surface.



If you don't have the space for traditional bunks consider alternatives such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are placed in the corner of the room. This allows room for other furniture, like cabinets or shelves. Some bunks also have beds with a desk connected, which makes it simple for your young children to complete their homework while sitting up in their bed. This helps them remain focused during their study time and promotes good habits.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds are an ideal solution for children who want to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space to have two separate rooms. A lot of our bunk beds are equipped with a ladder that makes it easy for children to climb up to the top bed. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which could be dangerous. Children should only climb the top bunk when they can do it safely. This usually happens at least six years of age.

Many parents are attracted by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angles to increase the safety and ease of use. These ladders are easier to grip and provide a more pleasant 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 even more safety, consider choosing a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps and hand hole cutouts that make it easier for children to hold onto while they climb.

If you're looking for a permanent solution, we provide several different types of stairs that can be fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. These stairs feature a railing that encircles the staircase to provide additional security and also more treads to prevent accidents and falls. You can select 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.

Another option to save space is by opting for loft beds that don't connect to the bottom bunk using a ladder at all and leaves plenty of room underneath for children to play and to sleep. A lot of these bunk beds and lofts are designed to be reminiscent of a treehouse or some other fun structure, so they're a great choice for kids who love to spend time outside. Some of our bunk beds and lofts have a slide that can be added for an extra touch of fun.

Extra Storage

These beds utilize vertical space to store clothes, books, toys and much more without taking up floor space. These beds can also be used in modern and traditional bedroom designs.
