Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are an excellent way to maximize space and save money on separate rooms. Find beds with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to stop gaps or areas where children may become stuck or trapped.
The way 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 ladders that are vertical.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal option to maximize space in a tiny room. Bunk beds for kids are a great option to make space in a small room or attic. They also provide comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your children can share a bed, while having their own space. A bunk bed for three is a great option, especially when you intend to use the lower bunk as an office or playroom during the day.
Most bunks have an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. For safety reasons the ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling. This will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't rest too high.
If you're looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture in style, consider choosing a wooden bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add an elegant touch to your kids' room however, it also offers ample storage space for each book, toy or knick-knack they may need to stow away.
Some bunks can be converted from a bed to a futon. This lets your kids utilize the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then pull out the top futon to create an ideal sleeping space at night. This kind of bunk bed is ideal when you have enough space and your children are old enough to manage the additional sleeping surface.
If you do not have the space to accommodate a traditional bunk bed look into a corner bunk or loft. These beds are placed in the corner of the room. This allows room for other furniture, like cabinets or shelves. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, which means that your children can complete their homework while in bed. This will help them stay focused during the study period and encourages good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are an ideal solution for children who want to sleep in separate rooms but don't have enough space to have two separate rooms. A majority of our beds feature an incline to make it easier for kids to access the top bunk. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bunk bed which can be risky. Kids should only attempt to climb onto the top bunk when they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which is usually when they are at least six years old.
While many parents are tempted to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we would suggest opting for ones that have angled ladders for more security and ease of use. They provide a smoother climbing experience, and are also easier to grasp. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs one at a time and then move upwards until they reach top bunk. Consider a ladder that has anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to make it easier for youngsters to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If you are looking for an all-time solution there are a myriad of designs of stairways that could be permanently attached to the frame of a bunk bed. The stairs have a railing that encircles the staircase for additional safety and also an extra wide tread to avoid slips and falls. For a more stylish look, consider an stairwell with built-in storage drawers. They are ideal for keeping your children's rooms organized and neat.
A loft bed that doesn't have an attached ladder to the bunk below is another option to reduce space. This leaves more room for kids to play in and sleep on. Many of these loft and bunk beds are designed to resemble a treehouse or other amusing structure, making them an ideal choice for children who love to spend time outdoors.
