Kids Bunk Bed – A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great choice to save money and make the most of space. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or spaces where children can get stuck or caught.
Another factor to consider is how the bed is accessed: bunks usually feature stairs or ladders, with angled ladders taking less space than traditional vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are a great way to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for children are a great way to free up space in a tiny room or attic. They also offer the comfort and style. 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 three-person bunk bed is an excellent option, particularly in the event that the lower bunk can be used as an office or playroom during the day.
The majority of bunk beds come with an escalator or ladder built into the frame. The ladder’s elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling for safety reasons. This will stop heads from bumping 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 in style 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 toys, books and knickknacks they may need.
Some bunks can also be converted to a futon. This allows your children to utilize the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then slide out the top futon to create an incredibly comfortable sleeping area at night. This type of bunk bed is perfect when you have enough space and your kids are old enough to manage the additional sleeping surface.
If you don’t have enough space for traditional bunks consider alternatives such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are placed in the corner of the room. This leaves space for other furniture like cabinets or shelves. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while in their bed. This will help them stay focused and instil good habits during study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are great for kids who want to sleep separately but don’t have enough space to create two separate bedrooms. Most of our beds come with a ladder that makes it easier for children to access the top bunk. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bunk bed, which could be dangerous. Kids should only climb the top bunk when they can do it safely. This usually happens at least six years old. age.
While many parents are tempted to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we would suggest choosing beds with angled ladders for added security and ease of use. These ladders are easier to grasp and offer a smoother experience. To climb, kids simply place their feet on each rung one at a and then move their bodies upwards 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 permanent solution, we provide various styles of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. These stairs feature a railing that surrounds the staircase for additional safety, and they have an extra wide tread to avoid slips and falls. You can pick an option with built-in drawers for a more decorative appearance. This is a great option to keep your child’s space organized and tidy.
Another option to save space is by opting for an loft bed that doesn’t connect to the bottom bunk using a ladder at all and leaves plenty of room underneath for children to play and sleep. Many of these bunk and loft beds are designed to resemble a treehouse or other fun structure, so they’re a great choice for kids who enjoy spending time outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds also feature an optional slide to add a touch of fun.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds also have storage options that can help children keep their rooms tidy and neat. These beds can store books, clothes toys, and other items vertically, which saves valuable floor space. These beds are compatible with both traditional and modern bedroom styles. Pottery Barn Kids has a wide selection of twin over full beds that can be adapted to your child’s room and their needs.
The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers can be used to provide additional storage space to your child’s bunk beds. It features two large drawers to store clothing, shoes, bedtime essentials and other items. The drawers have unidirectional casters that make it easy for children to open and shut them. This is a great option for kids who live in a single room. It helps keep each other’s belongings away from each other.
This Maxtrix loft bed also includes a built-in desk and the hutch for a useful study nook. The solid wood desk for kids is easily removed from underneath the bed, and folds up when not in use, preserving the space for play. This is a great choice for kids that like to work on their computer or do crafts all day long.
The bed at the bottom of this Maxtrix bunk can be transformed into a comfortable sofa when it’s not time to sleep.

Fun Slide
The fun factor of bunk beds for children can be enhanced by adding a slide. Kids love jumping down from the top bunk. The excitement stimulates active and imaginative play, making it simpler to get up and ready for the night’s sleep.
Bunk beds that slide are a great option for families with growing children and shared rooms. Kids can climb the ladder and then slide down the slide. This can bring hours of fun to their space.

Our bunk beds with slides come with the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. This can be connected either to the side of the ladder, or in front, based on the room size. Depending on assembly height, the slide protrudes about 190 cm into the room, and an exit opening of 70cm is required.
