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 that prevent gaps or areas where children could be trapped or entangled.
The method by which the bed can be accessible is also a crucial aspect. Bunk beds are usually accessible via ladders or stairs, and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ladders.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are a great solution to maximize a small space. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or the small space in your home, bunk beds for kids can help you reduce floor space without losing any style or comfort. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your children can sleep side-by-side while still having their own space. A bunk bed for three is also an excellent option, particularly when you intend to use the bottom bunk as a playroom or office during the daytime.
Most bunks come with an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. To ensure safety the height of the ladder should be no higher than 5-6 feet from the ceiling. This is to avoid bumped heads while making sure that the child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high.
If you want to keep your children's bedroom furniture stylish think about an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add an additional stylish element to your kids' room, but it also offers ample storage space for every book, toy or items they'll require to store away.
Some bunks also offer the possibility of expanding from a standard bed to a futon. This lets your kids use the lower bed as a sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night to provide the perfect place to sleep. This kind of bunk is ideal if you have the room and your kids are old enough to manage the additional sleeping space.
If you don't have enough space for traditional bunks you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are placed in the corner of the room. This leaves space for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds have 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 helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are ideal for kids who want to be able to sleep independently but don't have enough room to have two bedrooms. Many of our bunk beds have a ladder that makes it easy for children to climb up the top bed. This is safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which could be risky. Kids should only climb the top bunk when they can do it safely. This is usually at least six years of age.
Many parents are attracted by the straight ladders on bunk bed s, but we recommend angles to increase security and ease of use. These ladders are more comfortable to hold and offer a smoother experience. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs one at atime and then move upwards until they reach the top bunk. Think about a ladder that comes with anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to help children to hold onto the ladder as they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we offer several different types of stairs that can be permanently fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. They have a railing that encircles the staircase to provide additional security and also a larger tread to prevent slips and falls. You can pick an option with built-in drawers for an attractive appearance. This is a great way to keep your child's room organized and tidy.
A loft bed without a ladder that connects it to the bottom bunk is another way to save space. This allows more space for kids to play in and sleep on. Many of these bunk and loft beds are designed to be reminiscent of a treehouse or some other amusing structure, making them a great choice for kids who love spending time in the outdoors. Some of our bunk beds and lofts also feature an optional slide for an extra touch of fun.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds also have storage options to help kids keep their rooms neat and tidy. These beds use vertical space to store clothes, books, toys and much more without taking up valuable floor space. These beds also work well in traditional and modern bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a wide selection of twin over full beds that are perfect for your child's bedroom and needs.

Fun Slide
The fun of a bunk bed for kids can be enhanced even further by the addition of a slide. The excitement of children running down the top bunk stimulates creative play and activities which makes it easier for them to fall asleep at night.
