Kids Bunk Bed – A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or areas where children can be trapped or entangled.
Another consideration is how the bed can be accessible: bunks typically have staircases or ladders and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are a great way to maximize space in a small space. If you’re looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or even the smallest room in your home, bunk beds for kids can help you save floor space, without giving up any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin designs, which means 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 bed uk will be used as an office or playroom during the day.
Most bunk beds have a ladder or staircase built into the frame. For safety reasons the height of the ladder should not be more than 5-6 feet from the ceiling. This is to avoid bumped heads while ensuring the younger child who is sleeping on the top bunk doesn’t get too high up.
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 a chic accent to your child’s bedroom, but also provide ample storage space for all the toys, books and knickknacks they may need.
Some bunks can also be converted from a bed to a futon. This lets your children utilize the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day, and then pull out the top futon to make a comfortable sleeping area at night. This type of bunk is perfect if you have the room and your kids are old enough to manage the extra sleeping surface.
If you do not have the space to accommodate the traditional bunk bed, consider a corner bunk or loft. These beds are set in the corner of your child’s room, leaving the room for other furniture such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while in their bed. This helps them stay focused during study time and promotes good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder

Most of our bunk beds have a ladder that makes it easy for children to climb to the top bed. This is safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which can be dangerous. Kids should only attempt to climb on top bunks if they are mature enough to climb safely, which is usually when they reach six years old.

These ladders offer a smoother climbing experience, and they’re also more comfortable to hold. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs one at a time and then move upwards until they reach the top bunk. Think about a ladder that comes with anti-slip grooves as well as handhole cutouts to help children to grip the ladder as they climb.

The stairs have an edging that is placed around the staircase for additional safety, and they have a larger tread to prevent falls and slips.
