10 Untrue Answers To Common Kids Bunk Bed Questions: Do You Know Which Ones? Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Bunk beds for kids are a great way to save money and maximize space. Choose beds that have solid foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or areas where children could get stuck or caught.

Another consideration is how the bed can be accessed: bunks usually feature stairs or ladders with angled ladders taking less space than standard vertical ones.

Space-saving Design

Bunk beds are a great way to maximize a small space. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or the small space 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 having their own space. A bunk bed for three is also a great option, especially if you plan to use the lower bunk as a playroom or office during the day.

The majority of bunks have an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. The ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling to ensure safety. This is to avoid bumped heads while ensuring the younger child who is sleeping on the top bunk isn't high.

If you want to keep your children's bedroom furniture looking chic look into a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This will not only add a chic accent to your child's bedroom 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 to a futon. This lets your kids use 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 if you have the room and your kids are old enough to manage the additional sleeping surface.

If you do not have the space to fit the traditional bunk bed, consider a corner bunk or loft. These beds are set in the corner of your child's rooms, which leave the space for other kids' furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, which means that your kids can do their homework while in bed. This will help them to stay focused and instil good habits for studying.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds are ideal for kids who want to sleep separately but don't have the space for two separate bedrooms. Many of our beds have an incline to make it easier for children to climb up the top bunk. This is more secure than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed, which could be dangerous. Kids should only climb the top bunk when they can safely do so. This is usually at least six years of age.

Many parents are attracted by the straight ladders that are found on bunk beds, but we recommend angle ladders to improve security and ease of use. They provide a smoother climbing experience, and are also more comfortable to hold. To climb up, kids simply set their feet on each step one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Think about a ladder that comes with anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to make it easier for children to grip the ladder as they climb.

If you're looking for a permanent solution, we offer various styles of stairs that can be permanently fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. These stairs have a railing around the staircase to offer additional security. They also have a larger tread that prevents slipping and falling. You can pick a set with built-in drawers to give it a more decorative appearance. This is a great choice to keep your child's room clean and organized.

Another option to save space is to select loft beds that don't connect to the bottom bunk using an elevated ladder leaving plenty of space beneath for children to play and to sleep. These loft and bunk beds often resemble a fun treehouse, which makes them an ideal choice for kids who enjoy spending time outdoors. Some of our bunk beds and lofts also feature an optional slide to add a touch of fun.

Extra Storage

Many bunk and loft beds offer additional storage options to help children keep their rooms tidy. These beds can store books, clothes toys, and other items vertically, saving valuable floor space. These beds work well with both modern and traditional bedroom styles. Pottery Barn Kids has a wide selection of twin beds that can be adapted to the room of your child and their needs.

The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers is a great option as a storage solution to your child's bunk beds. It features two large drawers for clothing, shoes, bedtime essentials, and other things. The drawers are equipped with casters that are unidirectional which make it simple for children to open and shut them. This is a great option for kids who share a room. It can help keep the belongings of each other from one another.

This Maxtrix loft bed also includes an integrated desk and an hutch to create a practical study area. The solid wood desk for kids easily pulls out from underneath the bed and folds up when it is not in use, leaving space to play. It's a great solution for kids who like to create all day long or use the computer for homework assignments.

The bottom bed on this Maxtrix bunk can be transformed into a cozy sofa when it's time to go to sleeping. This is a great option for kids who love to invite friends to sleepovers or parents who want to make space in the guest room.

There are options that include a storage trundle as well as a ladder for guests to stay over and it is possible to accommodate the changing needs of a family in the space of a single bedroom.


Fun Slide

The fun of a bunk bed for kids can be enhanced even further with the addition of slide. Kids love jumping down from the top bunk. The excitement stimulates active and imaginative play, making it simpler to get up and ready to go to sleeping at night.

Bunk beds with slide are a great choice for families that are growing and sharing rooms. Kids can race up the ladder, then slide down the slide. This will bring hours of fun into their space.

Our unique loft and bunk bed models with slide come in twin and full sizes so they can be easily incorporated into most rooms. They can be separated at a later time to create two standard size beds. This bunk bed frame comes with a natural-looking finish, but it can also be ordered with the option of a White or Chestnut finish.

For rooms with a limited space, our bunk beds with slides include the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower, which can be connected to either the side of the ladder or to the front of the frame for the bunk bed. The slide can extend up to 190 cm, depending on the assembly height. A 70-cm exit opening is required.

Pick your kids' bunk bed and add a slide to make the ultimate play and sleep combination! You can customize your child's bunk bed by adding a bottom play curtain to create a fun fort-like castle and drawers for trundles to give you extra sleeping space for overnight guests.
