Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are an excellent way to maximize space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Choose beds that have solid foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or spaces where children could be trapped or entangled.
Another consideration is how the bed can be accessed: bunks usually feature ladders or stairs with angled ladders taking less space than traditional vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are a great solution to maximize a small space. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or the most compact room in your home, bunks for kids will help you save floor space without losing any style or comfort. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your children can sleep side by side while enjoying their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent choice, particularly when the bunk on the bottom can be used as an office or playroom during the daytime.
Most bunks come with a ladder built into the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. The ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling for safety reasons. This will prevent bumps on heads and to ensure that the child who is sleeping on the top bunk isn't high up.
If you want to keep your kids' bedroom furniture stylish, consider choosing an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a chic accent to your child's bedroom and provide plenty of storage space for all the toys, books and other items they might require.
Some bunks can also be converted from a bed to a futon. This allows your kids to use the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night for an incredibly comfortable bed. This type of bunk bed is great if you have enough space and your children are old enough to be able to handle the extra sleeping surface.
If you don't have enough space for the traditional bunk you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This leaves space for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your kids can do their homework while in their beds. This can help them focus and develop good habits during study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be an ideal solution for children who prefer to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space to have two separate rooms. Most of our beds come with a ladder that makes it easier for kids to climb up the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which could be dangerous. Kids should only attempt to climb onto the top bunk if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which is usually when they reach six years old.
Many parents are enticed to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we recommend 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 grip. To climb, children simply place their feet on each step one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. For added safety, consider choosing a ladder with grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand hole cutouts that make it easier for children to hold onto as they climb.
If you're looking for a permanent solution, we provide various styles of stairs that can be fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs are equipped with an edging around the staircase to provide additional safety. They also have a wider tread that prevents slipping and falling. For a more stylish look, consider the stairs that have built-in storage drawers, which are an excellent way to keep your children's rooms tidy and neat.
A loft bed that doesn't have an attached ladder to the bunk below is another way to save space. This gives more space for kids to play in and sleep underneath. The loft and bunk beds often resemble a fun treehouse, making them a great option for children who love spending time outside. Some of our loft and bunk beds have a slide that can be added to add a touch of fun.
Extra Storage
A variety of loft beds and bunk beds also have storage options to help kids keep their rooms neat and tidy. These beds can be used to store books, clothes toys, books, and more vertically, which saves valuable floor space. They also work in traditional and modern bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a an extensive selection of twin over full beds that are perfect for your child's bedroom and requirements.
A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an the perfect way to add extra storage space to your child's bunk bed. It has two large drawers that can be used to store shoes, clothes or bedtime necessities, among other things. The drawers are mounted on casters that are unidirectional making it easy for kids to open and close them. This is a great choice for children sharing the same space, as it can help keep the belongings of one another away from each other's reach.
This Maxtrix loft bed also has a built-in desk as well as a an hutch to create a practical study nook. The solid wood desk for children is easily removed from underneath the bed and folds up when not in use, preserving space for play.

Fun Slide
A slide can boost the excitement of a kid's bunk bed. Children love to race down from the top bunk and the excitement stimulates active and imaginative play, making it simpler to get up and ready for sleeping at night.
Bunk beds with slides offer an excellent way to combine play and sleep in the same space that is ideal for sharing kid's rooms and growing families. Kids can race up the ladder, then slide down the slide. This can bring hours of fun to their room.

Our bunk beds that have slides come with the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. This can be connected either to the side of the ladder or the front, depending on the dimensions of the room. The slide can extend up to 190cm depending on the height of the frame. A 70 cm exit opening is required.
