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. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports that prevent gaps or areas where children could become trapped or stuck.
The way the bed is accessible is also crucial. Bunk beds are generally accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders take less space than traditional vertical ladders.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the perfect way to make the most of a tiny space. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or even the smallest room in your home, bunks for kids can 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 children can sleep side by side while enjoying their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent option, particularly if the bottom bunk will be used as an office or playroom during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds come with a ladder or staircase built into the frame. The ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling due to safety concerns. This will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk does not rest too high.
If you're looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture looking chic think about a wooden bunk bed with stairs. This not only provides an additional stylish element to your children's room, but it also offers ample storage for every book, toy, and other knick-knack they may require to put away.
Some bunks can also be converted from a bed to a futon. This lets your children make use of the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night to provide an incredibly comfortable bed. This type of bunk is ideal if you have the room and your children are old enough to manage the additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space for the traditional bunk consider alternatives such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This leaves space for other furniture like dressers or shelves. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, which means that your kids can do their homework while in bed. This helps them stay focused during the study period and promotes good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are the ideal solution for kids who want to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space for two separate rooms. A lot of our bunk beds have a ladder that makes it easy for children to climb up the top bed. This is more secure than climbing the sides of the bunk bed, which can be risky. Kids should only attempt to climb onto the top bunk only if they are old enough to do so safely, which is usually when they reach six years old.
While many parents are tempted to buy bunk beds that have straight ladders, we would suggest opting for ones with angled ladders to increase security and ease of use. These ladders offer a smoother climbing experience, and they're also more comfortable to hold. To climb, kids place their feet on the rungs one at a time and move up until they reach top bunk. For even more safety, consider choosing a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps and hand holes that make it easier for kids to hold on to when they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we have various styles of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs are equipped with an edging around the staircase to provide additional safety. They also feature a wider tread to prevent slipping and falling. For a more decorative look, you can choose a set of stairs with built-in storage drawers, which are ideal for keeping your kids' rooms organized and tidy.
Another option to save space is to select a loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk by a ladder at all and leaves plenty of space beneath for kids to play or sleep. A lot of these loft and bunk beds are designed to look like a treehouse or another structures that are fun, making them an ideal choice for children who enjoy spending time outside. Some of our loft and bunk beds also feature an optional slide for an extra touch of fun.
Extra Storage
Many bunk and loft beds have additional storage options to aid children in keeping their rooms neat. These beds can be used to store books, clothes toys, books, and more vertically, which saves valuable floor space. These beds also work well in modern and traditional bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a numerous twin beds that are perfect for the room of your child and their requirements.
A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an the perfect method to add storage space to your child's bunk bed. It uses two spacious drawers for clothing, shoes, bedtime essentials, and other items. The drawers come with unidirectional casters that make it easy for children to open and close them. This is an excellent option for children who share one room. It allows them to keep their belongings separate from one another.
This Maxtrix loft includes a built-in desk and hutch, which can be used as a study nook. The solid wood desk for children is easily removed from underneath the bed, and folds up when not in use, preserving space to play. This is a great solution for children who like to play with computers or do crafts all day long.
The bed at the bottom of this Maxtrix bunk can be transformed into a comfy sofa when it's time for sleep. This is a great option for kids who enjoy hosting sleepovers with their friends or for parents trying to make space in their guest room.

Fun Slide
The fun factor of a bunk bed for kids can be enhanced even further by the addition of slides. Kids love jumping down from the top bunk, and the excitement encourages them to engage in imaginative play, making it easier to get up and ready to go to sleeping at night.
Bunk beds with slides are a great way to combine play and sleep in the same space, perfect for shared kid's rooms and growing families. Kids can climb the ladder and then slide down the slide. This can bring hours of fun into their rooms.

Our bunk beds that have slides include the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. This can be connected either to the side of the ladder, or in front, based on the size of the room. Based on the assembly height, the slide protrudes approximately 190 cm into the room and an exit opening of about 70 cm is required.
