Space-saving Design

Bunk beds can be an excellent way to maximize space in a small space. Bunk beds for children are a great option to free up space in a small room or attic. They also provide convenience and elegance. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen configurations so your children can share a bed while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent option, particularly if the bottom bunk is used as an office or playroom during the day.

Most bunks come with ladders built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. The ladder's height shouldn't exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling to ensure safety. This is to avoid bumped heads while ensuring the younger child sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high.

This allows your kids to make use of the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day and pull out the top futon in the evening 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 manage the extra sleeping space.

Consider a ladder that has handhole cutouts and anti-slip grooves to make it easier for youngsters to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
