Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great way to save money and make the most of space. Choose beds that have solid foundations and mattress supports that prevent gaps or spaces where children can become trapped or stuck.
Another factor to consider is how the bed is accessible: bunks typically have ladders or stairs and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be a great way to maximize space in a small room. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or the most compact room in your home, bunk beds for kids help you save floor space, without losing any style or comfort. The majority of bunk beds are twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your children can share a bed, while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed can be an excellent option, especially in the event that the lower bunk can be 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. To ensure safety the ladder's height should not exceed 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk does not rest too high.
If you're looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture looking chic look into an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add an extra stylish touch to your kids' room however, it also offers ample storage space for each book, toy, and other knick-knack they may need to stow away.
Some bunks can be converted to a futon. This allows your children to use the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then pull out the top futon for an ideal sleeping space at night. This type of bunk is great if you have the room and your children are old enough to manage the extra sleeping space.
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 leaves space for other furniture, like cabinets or shelves. Additionally, some bunks have beds with desks that are attached, making it easy for your little kids to work while sitting up in their bed. This helps them remain focused during their study time and helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are ideal for children who wish to be able to sleep independently but don't have enough room to create two separate bedrooms. A lot of our bunk beds have a ladder that makes it easy for children to climb to the top bed. This is more secure than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed which could be dangerous. Kids should only attempt to climb onto the top bunk only if they are old enough to do so safely, which is usually when they are at least six years old.
Many parents are enticed by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we suggest angles to increase safety and convenience. They provide a smoother climbing experience, and are also easier to grip. To climb up, kids simply set 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 youngsters to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If you are looking for a permanent solution there are a myriad of types of stairs that can be fixed permanently to the frame of bunk beds. These stairs have a railing around the staircase to provide additional safety. They also have a larger tread to prevent slipping and falling. You can select an item with built-in drawers to give it an attractive appearance. This is a great way to keep your child's room organized and tidy.
A loft bed without a ladder that connects it to the bunk below is another method of reducing space. This gives more space for kids to play in and sleep under. A lot of these bunk beds and lofts are designed to be reminiscent of a treehouse or some other amusing structure, making them the ideal option for children who enjoy spending time outside. Some of our loft and bunk beds include a slide that can add a touch of excitement.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds also have storage options that can help children keep their rooms tidy and neat. These beds make use of vertical space to store clothing books, toys, books and more without taking up floor space. These beds are compatible with both modern and traditional bedroom styles.
