Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for children are a great option to save money and maximize space. Look for models that have sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to stop gaps or spaces in which children may become stuck or entangled.
Another consideration is how the bed is accessible: bunks typically have staircases or ladders and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be a great option to maximize space in a tiny room. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or the small space in your home, bunks for kids will help you reduce floor space without sacrificing any comfort or style. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen configurations so your children can share a bed while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed can be an excellent option, particularly if the bottom bunk is used as an office or playroom during the day.
Most bunks come with a ladder built into the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling to ensure safety. This will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk does not sleep too high.
If you're looking to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style think about a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This not only provides an extra stylish touch to your kids' room, but it also offers ample storage for every book, toy and knick-knack they may need to stow away.
Some bunks also offer the ability to convert from a standard bed into the futon. This allows your kids to use the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night to provide a comfortable place to sleep. This kind of bunk is perfect if you have the room and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping space.
If you don't have enough space for a traditional bunk consider alternatives such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are placed across the corner of your kids rooms, which leave the space for other kids' furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Alternatively, some bunks feature beds that have desks attached, which makes it simple for your young children to complete their homework while lying in their bed. This can help them remain focused and help them develop good habits during their study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are a great solution for children who prefer to sleep in separate rooms but don't have enough space for two separate rooms. Many of our beds have an incline to make it easier for kids to reach the top bunk. This is safer than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed, which could be dangerous. Children should only climb onto the top bunk if they are old enough to do so safely, which is usually when they are at least six years old.
Many parents are tempted by the straight ladders on bunk beds, but we suggest angled ladders to increase security and ease of use. These ladders are easier to grasp and offer a smoother experience. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs one at a time and move up until they reach top bunk. For added security, you should consider a ladder with grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand hole cutouts that make it easier for children to hold onto as they climb.
If you're looking for a permanent solution, we have various styles of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. They have an edging around the staircase to offer additional security. They also have a wider tread to prevent slipping and falling. For a more stylish look, consider an stairwell with built-in storage drawers that are ideal for keeping your children's rooms organized and neat.
A loft bed without a ladder connecting it to the bunk below is another option to reduce space. This gives more space for kids to play and sleep on. The loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them a great option for kids who enjoy spending time outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds come with a slide to add a touch of fun.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds offer additional storage options for kids to keep their rooms neat and tidy. These beds can store books, clothes toys, and other items vertically, which saves valuable floor space. They also work in modern and traditional bedroom designs.

The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers can be used to provide additional storage space to your child's bunk beds. It comes with two drawers that can be used to store shoes, clothing as well as bedtime essentials and other items. The drawers come with unidirectional casters that make it easy for children to open and shut them. This is an excellent option for children who share a room, as it helps to keep the belongings of one another out of reach.
This Maxtrix loft bed also comes with a built-in desk and hutch for a functional study area. The solid wood desk for kids can easily be removed from under the bed and folds up when not in use, preserving space in the room to play. This is a great solution for kids that like to use the computer or create all day.
The bottom bed on this Maxtrix bunk can be transformed into a comfy sofa if it's not the time to go to sleeping.

Fun Slide
A slide can increase the fun factor of a kids bunk bed . Children love rushing down from the top bunk and the excitement encourages activity and imaginative play, making it simpler to get them up and ready for sleep at night.
Bunk beds with slides are the perfect opportunity to mix play and sleep in the same space, ideal for shared rooms for children and families that are growing. Kids can race up the ladder, then slide down the slide. This can bring hours of fun into their room.

Our bunk beds with slides include the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. This can be attached to either the side of the ladder or in front, based on the size of the room. The slide can protrude up to 190 cm, depending on the assembly height. A 70 cm exit opening is required.
