Kids Bunk Bed – A Great Way to Maximize Space

Kids bunk beds are an excellent way to maximize space while saving money on separate rooms. Choose models with solid foundations and mattress supports to prevent gaps or areas where children can become trapped or entangled.

The method by which the bed is accessed is also important. Bunk beds are usually accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders use less space than standard vertical ladders.

Space-Saving Design

Bunk beds are the ideal way to maximize space in a small room. Bunk beds for kids are a great way to make space in a tiny room or attic. They also provide comfort and style. The majority of 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 in the event that you plan to use the bottom bunk as an office or playroom during the day.

Most bunk beds have an entryway or ladder built into the frame. The ladder’s height should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling due to safety concerns. This will prevent bumps on heads while ensuring the younger child sleeping on the top bunk doesn’t get too high up.

If you want to keep your children’s bedroom furniture stylish look into a wooden bunk bed that has 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 offer the ability to expand from a standard bed into an actual futon. This lets your kids use the lower bed as a sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night for the perfect place to sleep. This kind of bunk bed is perfect for those who have plenty of space and your kids are old enough to manage the extra sleeping space.

If you don’t have the space for a traditional bunk consider alternatives such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of the room. This allows room for other furniture such as shelves or dressers. Alternatively, some bunks feature beds with a desk attached, which makes it easy for your little children to complete their homework while lying down in bed. This helps them remain focused during study time and helps them develop good habits.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds are a great solution for children who want to be able to sleep in separate rooms but don’t have enough space for two separate rooms. A lot of our bunk beds come with a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb up the top bed. This is more secure than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed which can be risky. Children should only climb the top bunk when they can safely climb it. This usually happens at least six years of age.

Many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds with straight ladders, we suggest choosing beds that have angled ladders for more security and ease of use. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience, and are also easier to grasp. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs one at atime and move up until they reach the top bunk. Think about a ladder that comes with anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to allow youngsters to hold onto the ladder as they climb.

If you’re looking for an all-time solution there are a myriad of types of stairs that can be fixed permanently to the frame of a bunk bed. These stairs feature an edging that is placed around the staircase to provide additional security and also an extra wide tread to avoid slips 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 neat and tidy.

A loft bed that doesn’t have a ladder that connects it to the bottom bunk is another way to save space. This gives more space for kids to play and sleep underneath. These loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them a great option for kids who enjoy spending time outside. Some of our bunk and loft beds have an added slide to add an extra spark of excitement.

Extra Storage

Many bunk and loft beds offer additional storage options to help children keep their rooms clean. These beds use vertical space to store clothing books, toys, and more without taking up floor space. These beds work well with both traditional and modern bedroom styles. Explore the selection of full and twin bunk beds at Pottery Barn Kids to find the bed that best suits your child’s needs and the style of their room.

A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an a simple method to add storage to your kiddo’s bunk bed. It features two large drawers that can be used to store clothes, shoes, bedtime essentials, and other things. The drawers are mounted on casters that are unidirectional that make it simple for children to open and close them. This is a great option for kids who share a room. It can help keep each other’s belongings away from each other.

This Maxtrix loft comes with a built in desk and hutch that can be used to create a study nook. The solid wood desk for children easily pulls out from underneath the bed and folds up when not in use, preserving space to play. It’s a smart solution for kids who like to make crafts all day long or use computers for homework assignments.

If it’s time for bed, the bottom bunk of this Maxtrix can be converted into a comfortable sofa. This is a great solution for kids who like to invite their friends to sleepovers or parents who want to make space in the guest room. This twin over futon is also a great choice for kids younger than the age of transitioning from cribs to regular beds.

Children who love climbing and have a lot of energy will appreciate the unique look and functionality of a loft or bunk bed. These beds are a fun alternative for traditional bedroom furniture. They are available in different designs, finishes, and configurations. There are options that include a storage trundle or ladders for guests to sleep over, making it possible to meet the ever-changing needs of a family within the space of a single bedroom.

Fun Slide

The fun of bunk beds for kids can be increased by the addition of slides. The excitement of kids racing down the top bunk is a great way to encourage imagination and play which makes it easier to sleep at night.

Bunk beds with slides are a great option for families with growing children and shared rooms. Kids can race up the ladder, then slide down the slide. This will provide hours of fun in their rooms.

Our unique loft and bunk bed models with slide are available in full and twin sizes so they fit comfortably in most bedrooms, and can be divided to make two standard beds at a future date.

For rooms with a limited space, our bunk bed with slide options include the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower, which can be connected to either the back of the ladder, or the front of the frame for the bunk bed. Based on the height of the frame the slide extends approximately 190 cm into the room and an exit opening of 70 cm is required.
