Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space Bunk beds for children are a great option to save money and maximize space. Choose beds that have sturdy foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or areas where children could get stuck or caught. Another thing to consider is how the bed can be accessed: bunks usually feature ladders or stairs, with angled ladders taking up less room than standard vertical ones. Space-saving Design Bunk beds are a great way to maximize a small space. If https://velez-macdonald.thoughtlanes.net/15-unexpected-facts-about-kids-bunk-beds-for-sale-that-youve-never-heard-of looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or the most compact room in your home, bunk beds for kids will help you reduce floor space without giving up any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds come with twin over full or twin over queen configurations so your children can sleep side by side while still enjoying their personal space. A bunk bed for three is also an excellent option, particularly in the event that you plan to use the lower bunk as an office or playroom during the daytime. The majority of bunk beds come with a ladder or staircase built into the frame. To ensure safety it is recommended that the height of the ladder should not be more than 5 to 6 feet from the ceiling. This will avoid head bumps and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk does not rest too high. Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs if you want your children's bedroom furniture to appear stylish. This will not only add a stylish accent to your child's bedroom but also provide ample storage space for all the toys, books and other knickknacks that they might need. Some bunks can be converted to a futon. This allows your kids to use the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night to provide an incredibly comfortable bed. This type of bunk bed is great when you have enough space 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 placed in the corner of the room. This makes room for other furniture like cabinets or shelves. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while still in bed. This will help them stay focused during their study time and encourages good habits. Easy Climbing Ladder Bunk beds are great for kids who want to be able to sleep independently but don't have enough room for two separate bedrooms. A majority of our beds feature a ladder that makes it easier for children to reach the top bunk. This is safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which could be risky. Kids should only attempt to climb onto the top bunk only if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which typically happens when they reach six years old. Many parents are tempted by the straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angled ladders to increase the safety and ease of use. They provide a smoother climbing experience and are also more comfortable to hold. To climb, kids simply place their feet on each rung one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. For added security, you should consider a ladder that has grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand hole cutouts 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 attached to the frame of bunk beds. These stairs have a railing that runs around the stairs to offer additional security. They also have a larger tread to prevent slipping and falling. For a more decorative look, you can choose an stairwell with built-in storage drawers that are a great way to keep your kids' rooms organized and neat. A loft bed without a ladder that connects it to the bunk below is another option to reduce space. This allows more space for kids to play in and sleep underneath. The loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them an excellent choice for children who love being outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds come with an optional slide for an additional spark of excitement. Extra Storage Many loft and bunk beds also have storage options that can help children keep their rooms neat and tidy. These beds can be used to store clothes, books toys, and other items vertically, which saves valuable floor space. These beds also work well in modern and traditional bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a wide selection of twin beds that will fit your child's room and their needs. A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an an easy method to add storage space to your child's bunk bed. It has two large drawers that can be used to store shoes, clothes, bedtime necessities, and other things. The drawers are mounted on unidirectional casters making it easy for kids to open and close them. This is an excellent option for children who share rooms, since it allows them to keep the belongings of one another out of reach. This Maxtrix loft bed also includes a built-in desk as well as a the hutch for a useful study area. The solid wood desk can be easily pulled out from under the bed and folded back in when not being used. This creates more room in the bedroom to play.

Fun Slide The fun of bunk beds for children can be enhanced even further by adding slides. The excitement of kids racing down the top bunk encourages creative play and activities which makes it easier to sleep at time of night. Bunk beds with slides are a great choice for families with growing children and shared rooms. Kids can race each other up the ladder, and then slide down the slide to bring hours of entertainment to their rooms.

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