10 Best Facebook Pages Of All Time Concerning Kids Bunk Bed Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space and save money on separate rooms. Choose beds that have solid foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or areas where children can become trapped or stuck.

The method by which the bed can be accessible is also a crucial aspect. Bunk beds are typically accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders use less space than standard ladders that are vertical.

Space-saving Design

Bunk beds can be a great method to make the most of space in a small space. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or the smallest room in your home, bunks for kids will help you save floor space without sacrificing 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 an ideal option, especially when you intend to use the lower bunk as a playroom or office during the daytime.

Most bunks have an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. For safety reasons, the height of the ladder should not exceed 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This will prevent bumps on heads while making sure that the kid sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high.


Think about a wooden bunkbed that has stairs for your kids' bedroom furniture to look elegant. This not only provides an extra stylish touch to your children's room however, it also offers ample storage space for every book, toy, and other knick-knack they may require to put away.

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

If you don't have enough space for a traditional bunk you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This leaves space for other furniture like cabinets or shelves. Some bunks also have beds with a desk attached, which makes it simple for your young kids to work while sitting up in the bed. This will help them stay focused during the study period and encourages good habits.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds can be the ideal solution for kids who prefer to sleep in separate rooms, but don't have enough space to have two separate rooms. Most of our bunk beds have a ladder that makes it easy for children to climb up to the top bed. This is more secure than climbing the sides of the bunk bed which could be dangerous. Children should only climb onto the top bunk if they are mature enough to climb safely, which is usually when they reach six years old.

While many parents are tempted to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we suggest choosing beds that have angled ladders for more safety and convenience. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience, and are also easier to grip. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs in a sequence and then move upwards until they reach the top bunk. Think about a ladder that comes with anti-slip grooves as well as handhole cutouts to make it easier for children to grip the ladder while they climb.

If you're looking for an all-time solution, there are many different styles of stairways that can be permanently mounted to the frame of bunk beds. These stairs feature a railing that encircles the staircase to provide additional security and more treads to prevent accidents and falls. To give a more attractive look, you can choose an stairwell with built-in storage drawers, which are ideal for keeping your children's rooms tidy and neat.

Another way to save space is to choose loft beds that don't connect to the bottom bunk using an elevated ladder leaving plenty of space underneath for kids to play or to sleep. These bunk beds and lofts typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them an ideal choice for children who love being outdoors. Some of our bunk and loft beds have an added slide that can add a spark of excitement.

Extra Storage

A variety of loft beds and bunk beds also have storage options that can help children keep their rooms tidy and neat. These beds utilize vertical space to store clothes, books, toys and more, without taking up valuable floor space. These beds can also be used in traditional and contemporary bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a wide selection of twin over full beds that will fit your child's room and their needs.

The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers can be used to provide additional storage space to the bunk beds your child sleeps in. It uses two spacious drawers that can be used to store clothes and shoes, bedtime essentials and other things. The drawers come with unidirectional casters which make it simple for children to open and shut them. This is a great option for children sharing rooms, since it allows them to keep one another's belongings out of reach.

This Maxtrix loft bed has an integrated desk and an hutch to create a practical study nook. The solid wood desk can be easily pulled out from under the bed, and folded back in when not being used. This allows for more space in the bedroom for play. It's a smart solution for children who love to make crafts all day long or use computers for school assignments.

If it's time for bed, the bottom bunk of this Maxtrix can be converted into a comfy sofa. This is a great choice for kids who like to invite friends to sleepovers or parents who want to save space in their guest room.

Fun Slide

The fun of a bunk bed for kids can be increased by adding a slide. The excitement of kids rushing down the top bunk encourages imaginative play and activity, making it easier for them to fall asleep at time of night.

Bunk beds with slides offer a great way to combine play and sleep in one space that is ideal for sharing rooms for kids and growing families. Kids can race each other up the ladder, and then take turns sliding down the slide to bring hours of fun to their space.

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