Kids Bunk Bed – A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space while saving money on separate rooms. Find beds with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to prevent 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 can be the ideal option to maximize space in a small room. Bunk beds for children are a great option to make space in a tiny room or attic. They also provide the comfort and style. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your kids can share a bed while enjoying their own space. A bunk bed for three is also an excellent option, particularly if you plan to use the bottom bunk as a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of 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 will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk does not rest too high.
If you’re looking to keep your children’s bedroom furniture in style think about a wooden bunk bed with stairs. Not only will this add an extra stylish touch to your kids’ room, but it also offers ample storage for every book, toy, and other things they might require to store away.
Some bunks also offer the possibility of expanding from a standard bed to an actual futon. This lets your children make use of the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then slide out the top futon for a comfortable sleeping area at night. This kind of bunk bed is perfect if you have enough space and your children are old enough to be able to handle the extra sleeping space.
If you don’t have the space to accommodate the traditional bunk bed, consider a corner bunk or loft. These beds are positioned in the corner of the room. This allows room for other furniture like dressers or shelves. Some bunks also have beds with a desk connected, which makes it simple for your little children to complete their homework while lying down in the bed. This helps them remain focused during the study period and helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be a great solution for children who want to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space to have two separate rooms. A lot of our bunk beds come with a ladder that makes it simple for children to climb up 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 old enough to be able to do it safely, which typically happens when they are at least six years old.
Many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds with straight ladders, we recommend selecting beds with angled ladders for added security and ease of use. They provide a smoother climbing experience, and they’re also easier to grasp. To climb up, kids simply put their feet on each rung one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. To ensure safety, consider choosing a ladder that has grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand holes that make it easier for children to hold onto when they climb.
If you’re looking for a more permanent solution, we offer various styles of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs have an edging that is placed around the staircase for additional safety, and they have more treads to prevent slips and falls. To give a more attractive appearance, you can opt for the stairs that have built-in storage drawers that are an excellent way to keep your children’s rooms organized and neat.
Another option to save space is to select loft beds that don’t connect to the bottom bunk using a ladder at all and leaves plenty of space underneath for kids to play or sleep. These loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, making them an excellent choice for kids who enjoy spending time in the outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds include a slide for an additional touch of excitement.
Extra Storage
A variety of loft beds and bunk beds also have storage options that can help children keep their rooms neat and tidy. They can store books, clothes, toys, and more vertically, saving valuable floor space. These beds work well with both traditional and modern bedroom styles. Browse the collection of twin over full bunk beds at Pottery Barn Kids to find the bed that best suits your child’s requirements and the design of their room.
The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers is a great option to add additional storage to your child’s bunk beds. It comes with two drawers that can be used to store shoes, clothing or bedtime necessities, among other things. The drawers are mounted on casters that are unidirectional that make it simple for children to open and close them. This is an excellent option for kids who share the same space, as it helps to keep one another’s belongings out of each other’s reach.
