Kids Bunk Bed – A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great option to save money and maximize space. Choose models with solid foundations and mattress supports to stop gaps or spaces where children could become stuck or entangled.
Another factor to consider is how the bed is accessed: bunks usually feature stairs or ladders and angled ladders take up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are a great way to make the most of a tiny space. Bunk beds for children are a great way to save space in a small room or attic. They also offer the comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds are twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your kids can share a bed while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent option, particularly if the bottom bunk can be used as a playroom or office during the day.
Most bunks come with an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. For safety reasons it is recommended that the ladder’s height should not exceed 5 to 6 feet from the ceiling. This is to prevent bumped heads while making sure that the child who is sleeping on the top bunk isn’t high.
If you want to keep your children’s bedroom furniture in style think about an oak bunk bed with stairs. This not only provides an elegant touch to the room of your child however, it also offers ample storage space for each book, toy, and other things they might require to store away.
Some bunks can also be converted to a futon. This lets your children make use of the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day and then pull out the top futon to create an ideal sleeping space at night. This type of bunk bed is ideal if you have enough space and your kids are old enough to manage the extra sleeping surface.
If you don’t have the space to accommodate the traditional bunk bed, think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are placed in the corner of the room. This makes room for other furniture like cabinets or shelves. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, which means that your kids can do their homework while in their bed. This will help them stay focused during study time and promotes good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are a great 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 come with a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb to the top of the bed. This is safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which can be dangerous. Kids should only climb the top bunk when they are able to safely climb it. This usually happens at least six years of age.
While many parents are tempted to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we recommend opting for ones that have angled ladders for more safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grip and offer a smoother experience. To climb, kids put their feet on the rungs one at atime and then move upwards until they reach the top bunk. To ensure safety, choose a ladder with grooved anti-slip steps as well as hand hole cutouts that make it easier for children to hold onto when they climb.
If you’re looking for a permanent solution, we offer several different types of stairs that can be permanently fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. These stairs feature a railing that encircles the stairs to ensure safety, and they have more treads to prevent slips and falls. To give a more attractive look, you can choose an stairwell with built-in storage drawers, which are a great way to keep your children’s rooms organized and tidy.
Another way to save space is by opting for an loft bed that doesn’t connect to the bottom bunk with an elevated ladder, which leaves plenty of room underneath for kids to play or sleep. Many of these loft and bunk beds are designed to resemble a treehouse or other amusing structure, making them an ideal choice for children who love to spend time outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds include a slide that can add a thrill.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds offer additional storage space to ensure that children’s rooms are clean. These beds make use of vertical space to store clothes books, toys, books and more, without taking up floor space. They also work in traditional and contemporary bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a numerous twin beds that will fit the room of your child and their requirements.
