Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great choice to save money and maximize space. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports to prevent gaps or spaces where children could become stuck or trapped.
Another thing to consider is how the bed is accessible: bunks are usually equipped with stairs or ladders, with angled ladders taking less space than traditional vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the perfect way to maximize a small space. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or even the most compact room in your home, bunk beds for kids help you save floor space, without sacrificing any comfort or style. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen designs so that your kids can sleep side by side while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent option, especially when the bunk on the bottom can be used as a playroom or office during the daytime.
Most bunk beds have an entryway or ladder built into the frame. For safety reasons it is recommended that the ladder's height should not be more than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This will avoid head bumps and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't rest too high.
If you're looking to keep your kids' bedroom furniture looking chic think about an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a stylish design to your child's room and provide plenty of storage space for all the books, toys and other knickknacks that they might need.
Some bunks also have the ability to expand from a standard bed to the futon. This allows your kids to make use of the lower bed as a sofa during the day and pull out the top futon in the evening for the perfect place to sleep. This type of bunk is perfect when you have a room and your kids are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface.
If you do not have the space to fit a traditional bunk bed, consider a corner bunk or loft. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This allows room for other furniture, like cabinets or shelves. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while still in their beds. This will help them stay focused during the study period and encourages good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are the ideal solution for kids who want to sleep in separate rooms, but don't have enough space to have two separate rooms. A majority of our beds feature a ladder that makes it easier for kids to access the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which can be dangerous. Kids should only attempt to climb up onto the top bunk when they are mature enough to climb safely, which is usually when they reach six years old.
Many parents are tempted by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angled ladders to increase security and ease of use. These ladders are easier to grasp and offer a smoother experience. To climb, children simply put their feet on each step one at a time 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 looking for an option that is permanent There are a variety of styles of stairways that can be permanently attached to the frame of bunk beds. The stairs are equipped with a railing around the staircase to offer additional security. They also feature a wider tread that stops people from sliding and falling. For a more decorative look, consider the stairs that have built-in storage drawers, which are an excellent way to keep your children's rooms tidy and neat.
Another method to reduce space is to choose loft beds that don't connect to the bottom bunk with an elevated ladder leaving plenty of space beneath for children to play and sleep. A lot of these bunk and loft beds are designed to be reminiscent of a treehouse or some other structures that are fun, making them the ideal option for children who love spending time in the outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds come with a slide to add a touch of fun.
Extra Storage
A variety of loft and bunk bed options offer additional storage options to aid children in keeping their rooms neat. These beds can be used to store clothes, books toys, and other items vertically, saving valuable floor space. These beds work well with both modern and traditional bedroom styles.

Fun Slide
A slide can boost the excitement of a kid's bunk bed. The excitement of children running down the top bunk encourages creative play and activities and makes it easier for them to fall asleep at time of night.
Bunk beds that slide are a great choice for growing families and shared rooms. Kids can climb up the ladder, then slide down the slide. This can bring hours of fun to their space.
