Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Bunk beds for kids are a great option to save money while maximizing space. Choose models with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to stop gaps or spaces where children could become stuck or entangled.

Another consideration is how the bed is accessible: bunks typically have ladders or stairs with angled ladders taking less space than traditional vertical ones.

Space-saving Design

Bunk beds are the ideal way to make the most of a tiny space. Whether you're looking to outfit an attic bedroom or even the smallest room in your home, bunks for kids will help you save floor space, without giving up any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your children can share a bed while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent option, particularly if the bottom bunk is used as a playroom or office during the day.

Most bunks come with a ladder built into the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. 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 isn't too high up.

If you want to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style look into an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a chic touch to your child's bedroom but also provide ample storage space for all the toys, books and other knickknacks that they might need.

Some bunks can also be converted from a bed to a futon. Bunkbedsstore lets your kids use the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then pull out the top futon for a comfortable sleeping area at night. This type of bunk bed is great for those who have plenty of space and your children are old enough to manage the extra sleeping space.

If you don't have the space for traditional bunks, look into options like a corner loft or bunk. These beds are placed across the corner of your children's' room, which leaves the room for other furniture like dressers or shelves. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while still in their beds. This can help them remain focused and help them develop good habits during their study time.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds can be an ideal solution for children who want to be able to sleep in separate rooms, but do not have the space for two separate rooms. A lot of our bunk beds come with a ladder that makes it simple for children to climb up the top 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 if they are old enough to do so safely, which usually happens when they reach six years old.

Many parents are attracted by the straight ladders that are found on bunk beds, but we suggest angle ladders to improve security and ease of use. These ladders are more comfortable to hold and offer a smoother experience. To climb, kids place their feet on the rungs one at atime and move up until they reach top bunk. Consider a ladder that has handhole cutouts and anti-slip grooves to make it easier for youngsters to hold onto the ladder while they climb.

If you are seeking a permanent solution, there are many different styles of stairways that can be permanently mounted to the frame of a bunk bed. These stairs feature a railing that surrounds the staircase for additional safety and also more treads to prevent accidents and falls. You can select an item with built-in drawers to give it a more decorative appearance. This is a great option to keep your child's space organized and tidy.

A loft bed that doesn't have a ladder connecting it to the bunk below is another method of reducing space. This gives more space for kids to play in and sleep on. These bunk beds and lofts typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them an excellent choice for kids who enjoy being outside. Some of our bunk beds and lofts also feature an optional slide to add a touch of fun.

Extra Storage

Many loft and bunk beds have additional storage space to ensure that children's rooms are tidy. These beds make use of vertical space to store clothes books, toys, and more, without taking up floor space. These beds are compatible with both traditional and modern bedroom styles. Browse the collection of full and twin bunk beds at Pottery Barn Kids to find the perfect bed for your child's needs and design of their room.

A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an the perfect option to add more 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 items. The drawers have unidirectional casters which make it simple for children to open and shut them. This is an excellent option for kids who share a room, as it allows them to keep the belongings of one another away from each other's reach.

This Maxtrix loft comes with a built in desk and hutch that can be used to create a study nook. The solid wood desk for kids is easily removed from underneath the bed and folds back up when not in use, preserving space in the room to play. This is a great option for children who like to play with computers or craft all day.

When it's time to sleep, the bottom bunk of this Maxtrix can be transformed into a comfortable sofa. This is a great option for kids who love to invite their friends to sleepovers, or for parents who want to save space in the guest room. This twin over futon option is also great for children who are transitioning into regular beds from cribs.

Loft beds or bunk beds are great for kids who love climbing, and have lots of energy. These beds are a great alternative to traditional furniture for bedrooms and they're available in many designs, finishes and configurations. There are options that include a storage trundle or ladders for guests to sleep on which allows you to meet the ever-changing needs of a family in the space of a single bedroom.


Fun Slide

The fun of bunk beds for children can be increased by adding slides. The excitement of children racing down the top bunk is a great way to encourage creative play and activities which makes it easier for them to fall asleep at night.

Bunk beds with slides are a great option for growing families and shared rooms. Kids can climb the ladder and then slide down the slide. This can provide hours of fun in their room.

Our unique loft and bunk bed with slide models come in twin and full sizes, so they are able to fit comfortably into most rooms. They can also be separated at a later date to create two standard size beds. This bunk bed frame comes in a natural finish but it can also be ordered with a White or Chestnut finish.

For rooms with a limited space, our bunk beds with slides include the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower, which can be connected to either the side of the ladder or to the front of the frame for the bunk bed. The slide can extend up to 190cm depending on the height of the assembly. A 70-cm exit opening is required.

Choose the bunk beds for your kids and add a slide for the ultimate play-and-sleep combo! You can personalize your children's bunk bed by adding a bottom play curtain to create an exciting fort-like castle, and trundle drawers to provide extra sleeping space for guests staying overnight.
