Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great choice to save money while maximizing space. Look for models that have solid foundations and mattress supports to avoid gaps or spaces in which children could become stuck or entangled.
The way the bed is accessible is also crucial. 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 the ideal option to maximize space in a small room. Bunk beds for children are a great way to make space in a tiny room or attic. They also provide convenience and elegance. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin designs, which means your children can share a bed, while having their own space. A bunk bed for three is also an excellent option, particularly in the event that you plan to use the lower bunk as a playroom or office during the day.
Most bunk beds have an escalator or ladder built into the frame. To ensure safety, the ladder's height should not be more than 5-6 feet from the ceiling. This is to avoid bumped heads and to ensure that the kid sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high up.
If you're looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture stylish, consider choosing an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a stylish touch to your child's bedroom, but also provide ample storage space for all the toys, books and other items they might require.
Some bunks can also be converted to a futon. This allows your kids to make use of the lower bed as a sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night to provide an incredibly comfortable bed. This kind of bunk bed is perfect for those who have plenty of space and your children are old enough to be able to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If you do not have the space to accommodate the traditional bunk bed, look into a corner bunk or loft. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This makes room for other furniture, like dressers or shelves. Additionally, some bunks have beds that have desks attached, which makes it easy for your little ones to do homework while sitting up in their bed. This will help them focus and develop good habits during study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be the ideal solution for kids who want to be able to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space for two separate rooms. Many of our bunk beds are equipped with a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb up the top bed. This is safer than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed, which could be dangerous. Children should only climb on top bunks when they are old enough to do so safely, which usually happens when they are at least six years old.
Many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds that have straight ladders, we suggest opting for ones with angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grip and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, kids simply place their feet on each step one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Look for a ladder with handhole cutouts and anti-slip grooves to help children to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If you are looking for an option that is permanent, there are many different styles of stairways that can be permanently attached to the frame of a bunk bed. These stairs have a railing around the staircase to provide additional safety. They also feature a wider tread that prevents 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 tidy.
Another way to save space is by opting for loft beds that don't connect to the bottom bunk using any ladder leaving plenty of space beneath for children to play or to sleep. The loft and bunk beds often resemble a fun treehouse, making them an excellent choice for children who love being outside. Some of our bunk and loft beds have an added slide to add an extra thrill.
Extra Storage
A variety of loft beds and bunk beds offer additional storage options to help kids keep their rooms tidy and neat. These beds utilize vertical space to store clothes books, toys, books and more, without taking up valuable floor space. These beds are compatible with both traditional and modern bedroom styles.

Fun Slide
A slide can enhance the excitement of a kid's bunk bed. Kids love jumping down the slide from the top bunk and the excitement encourages activity and imaginative play, making it much easier to get up and ready for sleep at night.
Bunk beds with slide are a great option for families that are growing and sharing rooms. Kids can race one another up the ladder and then take turns sliding down the slide to bring hours of entertainment to their space.
