The 10 Most Scariest Things About Kids Bunk Bed

Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space while saving money on separate rooms. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports that prevent gaps or areas where children can be trapped or entangled.

The method by which the bed is accessible is also a crucial aspect. Bunk beds are generally accessed via stairs or ladders and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ladders.

Space-Saving Design

Bunk beds are the ideal way to make the most of a tiny space. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or the smallest room in your home, bunks for kids can help you save floor space without giving up any comfort or 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 having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent choice, particularly in the event that the lower bunk will be used as a playroom or office during the daytime.

The majority of bunk beds have a ladder or staircase built into the frame. To ensure safety, the height of the ladder should not be more than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk doesn't rest too high.

If you want to keep your kids' bedroom furniture looking chic think about an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add an extra stylish touch to your children's room but it also provides ample storage space for each book, toy or knick-knack they may need to stow away.

Some bunks also offer the possibility of expanding from a standard bed into an actual futon. This lets your kids make use of the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night for the perfect place to sleep. This type of bunk is ideal for rooms with a lot of space and your kids are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface.

If you don't have enough space for a traditional bunk bed, look into a corner bunk or loft. These beds are placed across the corner of your child's rooms, which leave the remaining space for other furniture such as shelves or dressers. Some bunks also have beds with desks attached, which makes it easy for your little kids to work while lying in their bed. This helps them stay focused during the study period and promotes good habits.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds are an ideal solution for children who want to sleep in separate rooms, but do not have the space for two separate rooms. A majority of our beds feature a ladder that makes it easier for children to access the top bunk. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which can be risky. Children should only climb up onto the top bunk when they are old enough to do so safely, which typically happens when they reach six years old.

While many parents are tempted to buy bunk beds with straight ladders, we recommend opting for ones with angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grip and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, children simply place their feet on each rung one at a and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. To ensure safety, consider choosing a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps and hand holes that allow kids to hold on to when they climb.

If you are seeking an all-time solution there are a myriad of types of stairs that can be permanently mounted to the frame of a bunk bed. The stairs are equipped with a railing around the staircase to provide additional safety. They also have a wider tread that stops people from sliding and falling. You can pick a set with built-in drawers to give it a more decorative appearance. This is a great option to keep your child's bedroom organized and tidy.

A loft bed that doesn't have a ladder connecting it to the bottom bunk is another option to reduce space. This leaves more room for kids to play in and sleep underneath. These loft and bunk beds often resemble a fun treehouse, which makes them a great option for kids who enjoy playing outside. Some of our bunk beds and lofts also feature an optional slide to add an extra element of fun.

Extra Storage

Many bunk and loft beds offer additional storage to ensure that children's rooms are tidy. These beds can be used to store books, clothes, toys, and more vertically, saving valuable floor space. These beds can be used with both modern and traditional bedroom styles.

Fun Slide

A slide can boost the enjoyment of a children's bunk bed. The excitement of kids racing down the top bunk stimulates creative play and activities, making it easier to sleep at time of night.
