Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are an excellent way to maximize space and save money on separate rooms. Choose beds that have solid foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or spaces where children can get stuck or caught.
Another factor to consider is how the bed is accessed: bunks usually feature staircases or ladders and angled ladders take up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal solution to maximize a small space. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or even the most compact room in your home, bunk beds for kids help you save floor space without sacrificing any comfort or style. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen designs so that your children can share a bed while still enjoying their personal space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent option, particularly in the event that the lower bunk can be used as a playroom or office during the day.
The majority of bunk beds have an entryway or ladder built into the frame. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling to ensure safety. This will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't sleep too high.
Think about a wooden bunkbed that has stairs for your kids' bedroom furniture to appear stylish. Not only will this add an extra stylish touch to your kids' room, but it also offers ample storage space for every book, toy, and other knick-knack they may require to put away.
Some bunks can also be converted to a futon. This allows your children to utilize the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then pull out the top futon to create an ideal sleeping space at night. This kind of bunk bed is great when you have enough space and your children are old enough to manage the extra sleeping surface.
If you don't have enough space for traditional bunks you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set 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 still in their beds. This can help them focus and develop good habits for studying.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be an ideal solution for children who want to sleep in separate rooms but don't have enough space to have two separate rooms. Many of our beds have a ladder to make it easier for children to access the top bunk. This is safer than climbing over 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 typically happens when they are at least six years old.
Although many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds that have straight ladders, we suggest choosing beds that have angled ladders for more safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grasp and provide a more pleasant experience. To climb, kids simply place their feet on each rung one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. For even more safety, consider choosing a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps and hand hole cutouts that make it easier for kids to hold on to as they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we offer various styles of stairs that can be fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. They have an edging around the staircase to ensure safety. bunkbedsstore.uk feature a wider tread that prevents slipping and falling. To give a more attractive look, you can choose an stairwell with built-in storage drawers that are ideal for keeping your children's rooms organized and neat.
A loft bed without an attached ladder to the bottom bunk is another option to reduce space. This leaves more room for kids to play in and sleep underneath. The loft and bunk beds often resemble a fun treehouse, which makes them an excellent choice for kids who enjoy being outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds come with an optional slide that can add a touch of excitement.
Extra Storage
