Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space and save money on separate rooms. Find beds with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or areas where children could become trapped or stuck.
Another consideration is how the bed can be accessed: bunks usually feature ladders or stairs and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ones.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal way to make the most of a tiny space. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or even the small space in your home, bunk beds for kids will help you save floor space, without losing any style or comfort. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your kids can share a bed while enjoying their own space. A bunk bed for three is also an ideal option, especially in the event that you plan to use the bottom bunk for a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds have a ladder or staircase built into the frame. The ladder's height shouldn't exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling due to safety concerns. This will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk does not rest too high.
Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs if you want your children's bedroom furniture to be stylish. This will not only add a chic touch to your child's bedroom and provide plenty of storage space for all the books, toys and other items they might require.
Some bunks also have the ability to expand from a standard bed into 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 incredibly comfortable sleeping area at night. This kind of bunk is perfect if you have the room and your children are old enough to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space to fit the traditional bunk bed, think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are placed in the corner of the room. This makes room for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, which means that your children can complete their homework while in bed. This helps them stay focused during study time and helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are perfect for kids who want to sleep separately but don't have enough room to create two separate bedrooms. Most of our bunk beds come with a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb to the top of the bed. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bunk bed, which could be dangerous. Children should only climb up onto the top bunk when they are mature enough to climb safely, which usually happens when they reach six years old.
Many parents are attracted by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we suggest angled ladders to increase the safety 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 move up until they reach the top bunk. To ensure safety, choose a ladder that has grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand hole cutouts that allow kids to hold onto as they climb.
If you're looking for a permanent solution, we provide several different types of stairs that can be permanently fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs are equipped with a railing that runs around the stairs to offer additional security. They also have a larger tread that prevents slipping and falling. You can pick a set with built-in drawers to give it an appealing appearance. This is a great choice to keep your child's room organized and tidy.
Another option to save space is to choose an loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk by any ladder, which leaves plenty of room underneath for kids to play or to sleep. The loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, making them an excellent choice for kids who enjoy playing outdoors. Some of our bunk beds and lofts come with a slide to add an extra element of fun.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds offer additional storage options to ensure that children's rooms are clean. bunk bed for kids use vertical space to store clothes books, toys, and more, without taking up floor space. These beds also work well in traditional and modern bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a an extensive selection of twin over full beds that will fit the room of your child and their needs.
The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers is a great option to add additional storage to the bunk beds your child sleeps in.

The drawers are positioned on casters unidirectional that make it simple for children to open and close them. This is an excellent option for kids who live in a single room. It can help keep the belongings of each other from one another.
This Maxtrix loft includes a built-in desk and hutch, which can be used as an study area.

Fun Slide
A slide can enhance the excitement of a kid's bunk bed. Kids love jumping down the slide from the top bunk. The excitement encourages activity and imaginative play, making it simpler to get up and ready to go to the night's sleep.
