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 sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to avoid gaps or spaces in which children may become stuck or entangled.
Another thing to consider is how the bed can be accessible: bunks typically have staircases or ladders and angled ladders take up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are the perfect solution to maximize a small space. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or even the smallest room in your home, bunks for kids can help you save floor space, without losing any style or comfort. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your kids can sleep side-by-side while still enjoying their personal space. A bunk bed for three is an ideal option, especially in the event that you plan to use the lower bunk as a playroom or office during the daytime.
Most bunk beds have an entryway or ladder built into the frame. The ladder's height shouldn't exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling for safety reasons. This is to prevent bumped heads while making sure that the child who is sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high up.
You should consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs If you want your child's bedroom furniture to look stylish. This will not only add a fashionable touch to your child's bedroom and provide plenty of storage space for all the toys, books and other knickknacks that they might need.
Some bunks offer the ability to convert from a standard bed into a futon. This lets your children utilize the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime, and then pull out the top futon to make an ideal sleeping space at night. This kind of bunk is great when you have a room and your children are old enough to manage the additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space for traditional bunks consider alternatives such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This allows room for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, so your kids can do their homework while in their bed. This can help them remain focused and help them develop good habits for studying.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be the ideal solution for kids who prefer to sleep in separate rooms, but don't have enough space to have two separate rooms. Many of our bunk beds have a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb up to the top of the bed. This is safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which could be risky. Kids should only attempt to climb on top bunks when they are mature enough to climb safely, which is usually when they are at least six years old.
Many parents are enticed by the straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angled ladders to increase the safety and ease of use. These ladders are easier to grip and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, kids place their feet on the rungs in a sequence and then move upwards until they reach the top bunk. To ensure safety, choose a ladder that has grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand holes that allow kids to hold on to while they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we provide various styles of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. These stairs have a railing that runs around the stairs to ensure safety. They also have a larger tread to prevent slipping and falling. To give a more attractive appearance, you can opt for an stairwell with built-in storage drawers that are a great way to keep your children's rooms organized and tidy.
Another method to reduce space is by opting for an loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk using an elevated ladder, which leaves plenty of space beneath for children to play or sleep. The loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them an ideal choice for kids who enjoy playing outside. Some of our loft and bunk beds have a slide that can be added to add an extra element of fun.
Extra Storage

These beds are compatible with both modern and traditional bedroom styles.
