Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space and save money on separate rooms. Choose beds that have solid foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or spaces where children could become trapped or stuck.
The way the bed is accessed is also important. Bunk beds are generally accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders use less space than traditional vertical ladders.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the perfect solution to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for kids are a great option to make space in a small room or attic. They also provide comfort and style. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen configurations so your kids can sleep side-by-side while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent option, particularly in the event that the lower bunk can be used as an office or playroom during the daytime.
The majority of bunks have ladders built into the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. The ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling for safety reasons. This will prevent bumps on heads and to ensure that the kid sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high up.
If you want to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style look into a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This will not only add a fashionable touch to your child's bedroom and provide plenty of storage space for all the books, toys and knickknacks they may need.
Some bunks offer the possibility of expanding from a standard bed into a futon. This lets your children make use of the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night to provide an incredibly comfortable bed. This type of bunk bed is ideal when you have enough space and your children are old enough to be able to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If you do not have enough space for the traditional bunk bed, consider a corner bunk or loft. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This makes room for other furniture like dressers or shelves. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, which means that your kids can do their homework while still in their bed. This helps them remain focused during their study time and promotes good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are great for children who wish to be able to sleep independently but don't have the space 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 of the bed. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bunk bed, which can be risky. Children should only climb on the top bunk when they are able to safely climb it. This is usually at least six years of age.
Many parents are enticed to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we would suggest choosing beds with angled ladders for added safety and convenience. These ladders are more comfortable to hold and provide a more pleasant experience. To climb, children simply set their feet on each step 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 allow youngsters to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we offer various styles of stairs that can be permanently fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs are equipped with a railing around the staircase to offer additional security. They also have a wider tread that stops people from sliding and falling. For a more decorative look, consider the stairs that have built-in storage drawers that are an excellent way to keep your children's rooms tidy and neat.
A loft bed without a ladder that connects it to the bottom bunk is another method of reducing space. This allows more space for kids to play and sleep under. A lot of these bunk and loft beds are designed to look like a treehouse or another structures that are fun, making them a great choice for kids who love to spend time outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds have an added slide for an additional thrill.
Extra Storage

These beds work well with both modern and traditional bedroom styles. Pottery Barn Kids has a wide selection of twin beds that are perfect for your child's bedroom and requirements.

This is a great option for children sharing rooms, since it helps to keep each other's possessions away from each other's reach.
