Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for children are a great choice to save money and maximize space. Look for models with solid foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or spaces where children can become trapped or stuck.
Another thing to consider is how the bed is accessible: bunks typically have staircases or ladders and angled ladders take up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds can be a great option to maximize space in a small space. Bunk beds for kids are a great option to make space in a small space or attic. They also provide the comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your kids can share a bed while still having their own space. A bunk bed for three is also an ideal option, especially if you plan to use the bottom bunk for a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds have an entryway or ladder built into the frame. For safety reasons, the height of the ladder should be no higher than 5-6 feet from the ceiling. This will prevent bumps on heads while making sure that the child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high.
If you're looking to keep your kids' bedroom furniture looking chic look into a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This will not only add a stylish design to your child's room but also provide ample storage space for all the books, toys and other items they might require.
Some bunks also have the ability to convert from a standard bed into a futon. This lets your children make use of the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day and then slide out the top futon for an ideal sleeping space at night. This kind of bunk bed is great if you have enough space and your kids are old enough to handle the extra sleeping space.
If you do not have the space to fit a traditional bunk bed look into 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 kids can do their homework while still in their bed. This will help them to remain focused and help them develop good habits for studying.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are the ideal solution for kids who want to sleep in separate rooms but don't have enough space to have two separate rooms. Most of our beds come with a ladder to make it easier for children to access the top bunk. This is more secure than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed which can be risky. Children should only climb the top bunk when they can safely do so. This usually happens at least six years old. age.
While many parents are tempted to buy bunk beds with straight ladders, we recommend opting for ones with angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grasp and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, kids put their feet on the rungs one at a time and then climb up until they reach top bunk. Consider a ladder that has anti-slip grooves as well as handhole cutouts to allow youngsters to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If you're looking for an option that is permanent there are a myriad of styles of stairways that can be permanently mounted to the frame of bunk beds. The stairs are equipped with a railing around the staircase to offer additional security. They also feature a wider tread to prevent slipping and falling. To give a more attractive look, you can choose the stairs that have built-in storage drawers, which are ideal for keeping your children's rooms organized and neat.
Another option to save space is to select loft beds that don't connect to the bottom bunk using a ladder at all and leaves plenty of room underneath for children to play and to sleep. The loft and bunk beds often resemble a fun treehouse, which makes them a great option for children who love being outside. Some of our bunk and loft beds include a slide to add an extra touch of excitement.
Extra Storage
A variety of loft and bunk beds offer additional storage options to ensure that children's rooms are tidy. These beds use vertical space to store clothing, books, toys and much more without taking up floor space. These beds also work well in traditional and modern bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a wide selection of twin beds that can be adapted to your child's room and their needs.
A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is a simple way to add extra storage space to your child's bunk bed. It comes with two drawers that can be used to store shoes, clothes, bedtime necessities, and other things. The drawers are positioned on casters unidirectional that make it simple for children to open and close them. This is a great option for children sharing rooms, since it helps to keep each other's possessions away from each other's reach.
This Maxtrix loft bed includes a built-in desk as well as a hutch for a functional study area. The solid wood desk can be easily pulled out from under the bed and folded back up when it is not being used. This gives you more room in the bedroom for play.
