kids bunk bed with stairs - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space while saving money on separate rooms. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports to prevent gaps or areas where children could become stuck or entangled.
The method by which the bed can be accessible is also a crucial aspect. Bunk beds are generally accessed via stairs or ladders and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ladders.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds can be a great option to maximize space in a small room. Bunk beds for children are a great option to save space in a tiny room or attic. They also provide comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds are twin over full or queen over twin designs, which means your children can share a bed, while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed can be an excellent choice, particularly when the bunk on the bottom can be used as an office or playroom during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds have an entryway or ladder built into the frame. The ladder's height shouldn't exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling to ensure safety. This is to prevent bumped heads while ensuring the younger child who is sleeping on the top bunk isn't high.
If you want to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style, consider choosing a wooden 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 books, toys and other knickknacks that they might need.
Some bunks also have the possibility of expanding from a standard bed to a futon. This lets your kids utilize the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then slide out the top futon to make an incredibly comfortable sleeping area at night. This kind of bunk is perfect when you have a room and your kids are old enough to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have enough space for a traditional bunk consider alternatives such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of the room. This allows room for other furniture like dressers or shelves. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, which means that your children can complete their homework while still in bed. This will help them to focus and develop good habits for studying.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be the ideal solution for kids who prefer to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space for two separate rooms. Most of our beds come with a ladder to make it easier for children to climb up the top bunk. This is more secure than climbing the sides of the bunk bed, which can be risky. Kids should only climb the top bunk when they are able do it safely. This usually happens at least six years of age.
Many parents are tempted by the straight ladders that are found on bunk beds, but we recommend angle ladders to improve safety and convenience. These ladders are more comfortable to hold and offer a smoother experience. To climb, kids simply put their feet on each rung 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 grip the ladder as they climb.
If you're looking for a permanent solution, we have many different styles of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs have a railing that surrounds the staircase for additional safety and more treads to prevent slips and falls. You can choose a set with built-in drawers for an attractive appearance. This is a great choice to keep your child's space organized and tidy.
Another way to save space is to select loft beds that don't connect to the bottom bunk using any ladder leaving plenty of space beneath for children to play and sleep. These loft and bunk beds often resemble a fun treehouse, making them a great option for children who love being in the outdoors. Some of our bunk beds and lofts also feature an optional slide to add an extra element of fun.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds provide additional storage options to help kids keep their rooms neat and tidy. These beds can store books, clothes toys, books, and more vertically, saving valuable floor space. These beds also work well in modern and traditional bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a numerous twin over full beds that are perfect for the room of your child and their requirements.
A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an an easy option to add more storage space to your child's bunk bed. It uses two spacious drawers for clothing and shoes, bedtime essentials and other items. The drawers come with unidirectional casters which make it simple for children to open and close them. This is a great option for kids who live in a single room. It can help keep each other's belongings away from one another.
This Maxtrix loft bed comes with an integrated desk and an hutch to create a practical study area. The solid wood desk for children can easily be removed from under the bed, and folds up when not in use, preserving space in the room to play.

The bottom bed of this Maxtrix bunk can be turned into a comfortable sofa if it's not the time to go to sleep.

Fun Slide
The fun factor of a bunk bed for kids can be enhanced by adding slide. The excitement of kids racing down the top bunk is a great way to encourage creative play and activities and makes it easier to sleep at the end of the night.
