Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great option to save money and maximize space. Find beds with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to avoid gaps or spaces in which children may become stuck or entangled.
Another factor to consider is how the bed can be accessed: bunks usually feature ladders or stairs and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ones.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal solution to maximize a small space. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or even the most compact room in your home, bunk beds for kids help you save floor space without giving up any comfort or style. Most bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your kids can share a bed while still having their own space. A bunk bed for three is also an excellent option, particularly when you intend to use the bottom bunk as a playroom or office during the daytime.
Most bunks have an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. For safety reasons the ladder's height should not be more than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk does not rest too high.
If you're looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture stylish look into an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a chic 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 can be expanded from a bed to a futon. This lets your children use the lower bed as a sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon in the evening for a comfortable place to sleep. This kind of bunk is perfect for rooms with a lot of space and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping space.
If you do not have enough space for a traditional bunk bed, consider a corner bunk or loft. These beds are placed in the corner of the room. This makes room for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your kids can do their homework while in bed. This will help them to stay focused and instil good habits during study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are a great solution for children who prefer to sleep in separate rooms, but do not have the space to have two separate rooms. Many of our beds have a ladder to make it easier for children to climb up 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 only if they are old enough to do so safely, which usually happens when they reach six years old.
Although many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds with straight ladders, we recommend selecting beds with angled ladders to increase security and ease of use. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience, and they're also easier to grasp. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs in a sequence and then climb up until they reach the top bunk. Think about a ladder that comes with anti-slip grooves as well as handhole cutouts to help children to grip the ladder while they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we provide many different styles of stairs that can be permanently fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. These stairs feature an edging that is placed around the stairs to ensure safety and also an extra wide tread to avoid accidents and falls. You can select a set with built-in drawers for a more decorative appearance. This is a great option to keep your child's room organized and tidy.
Another option to save space is by opting for loft beds that don't connect to the bottom bunk with any ladder, which leaves plenty of space beneath for children to play and sleep. A lot of these loft and bunk beds are designed to resemble a treehouse or other amusing structure, making them the ideal option for children who love to spend time outside. Some of our bunk and loft beds have an added slide for an additional thrill.
Extra Storage

These beds can be used to store clothes, books toys, and other items vertically, which saves valuable floor space. These beds also work well in traditional and modern bedroom designs.
