The 10 Most Terrifying Things About Kids Bunk Bed

Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space and save money on separate rooms. Look for models with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that prevent gaps or areas that children might be trapped or entangled.

Another factor to consider is how the bed can be accessible: bunks are usually equipped with staircases or ladders and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ones.

Space-saving Design

Bunk beds are an excellent method to make the most of space in a small room. Whether you're looking to outfit an attic bedroom or the small space in your home, bunks for kids will help you reduce floor space without giving up any comfort or style. Most 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 bunk bed for three is an ideal option, especially in the event that you plan to use the bottom bunk for a playroom or office 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 from the ceiling due to safety concerns. This is to avoid bumped heads and to ensure that the kid sleeping on the top bunk isn't high up.

Think about a wooden bunkbed that has stairs if you want your children's bedroom furniture to be stylish. This will not only add a chic design to your child's room, but also provide ample storage space for all the books, toys and other knickknacks that they might need.

Some bunks can be expanded from a bed to a futon. This lets your kids make use of the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day, and then pull out the top futon to create an incredibly comfortable sleeping area at night. This kind of bunk bed is great when you have enough space and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping space.

If you don't have enough space for a traditional bunk bed, think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are set in the corner of your children's room, leaving the room for other furniture such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, so your kids can do their homework while still in their bed. This will help them stay focused during study time and encourages good habits.

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. A majority of our beds feature a ladder to make it easier for kids to access the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which could be risky. Kids should only attempt to climb onto the top bunk when they are mature enough to climb safely, which typically happens when they are at least six years old.

Many parents are tempted by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we suggest angles to increase the safety and ease of use. They provide a smoother climbing experience, and they're also more comfortable to hold. To climb, kids simply set their feet on each rung one at a and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Consider a ladder that has anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to allow children to grip the ladder while they climb.

If you're seeking an all-time solution there are a myriad of styles of stairways that can be permanently mounted to the frame of bunk beds. The stairs are equipped with a railing around the staircase to provide additional safety. They also have a larger tread that prevents slipping and falling. For a more stylish look, consider an stairwell with built-in storage drawers, which are an excellent way to keep your kids' rooms organized and neat.

Another option to save space is to choose loft beds that don't connect to the bottom childrens bunk bed using an elevated ladder and leaves plenty of space beneath for kids to play or to sleep.
