Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for children are a great option to save money and maximize space. Choose models with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to prevent gaps or spaces where children may become stuck or entangled.
Another consideration is how the bed is accessible: bunks typically have stairs or ladders and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ones.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are a great option to maximize space in a tiny room. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or even the smallest room in your home, bunks for kids can help you save floor space, without giving up any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds come with twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your kids can share a bed while still enjoying their personal space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent option, especially when the bunk on the bottom will be used as a playroom or office during the day.
Most bunks have ladders built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. 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 who sleeps on the top bunk doesn't rest too high.
Think about a wooden bunkbed that has stairs if you want your children's bedroom furniture to look stylish. Not only will this add an elegant touch to your kids' room but it also provides ample storage space for each book, toy and things they might require to put away.
Some bunks offer the possibility of expanding from a standard bed into an actual futon. bunk beds for kids lets your kids use the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night to provide a comfortable place to sleep. 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 affordable bunk beds for kids don't have the space for traditional bunks you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of your kids rooms, which leave the remaining space for other kids' furniture like dressers or shelves. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while still in their bed. This can help them remain focused and help them develop good habits during study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are great for kids who want to sleep in a separate room but don't have enough room to create two separate bedrooms. A majority of our beds feature an incline to make it easier for kids to access the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which can be dangerous. Kids should only climb the top bunk when they are able safely do so. This is usually at least six years of age.
Many parents are attracted by the straight ladders that are found on bunk beds, but we recommend angle ladders to improve the safety and ease of use. These ladders are easier to grasp and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, kids place their feet on the rungs one at atime and then move upwards until they reach the top bunk. For even more security, you should consider a ladder that has grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand holes that make it easier for kids to hold onto as they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we offer many different styles of stairs that can be permanently fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. They have an edging around the staircase to offer additional security. They also have a larger tread to prevent slipping and falling. You can choose an item with built-in drawers to give it an appealing appearance. This is a great way to keep your child's space neat and tidy.
A loft bed that doesn't have a ladder that connects it to the bottom bunk is another method of reducing space. This gives more space for kids to play and sleep underneath. Many of these bunk and loft beds are designed to be reminiscent of a treehouse or some other fun structure, so they're the ideal option for children who love to spend time in the outdoors. Some of our bunk beds and lofts come with a slide to add an extra element of fun.
Extra Storage
Many bunk and loft beds offer additional storage options that can help children keep their rooms tidy and neat. These beds use vertical space to store clothing books, toys, and more without taking up floor space. These beds are compatible with both modern and traditional bedroom styles.

Fun Slide
The fun factor of a bunk bed for kids can be enhanced by the addition of slides. Children love to race down the slide from the top bunk. The excitement stimulates active and imaginative play, making it easier to get up and ready to go to the night's sleep.
Bunk beds with slides are a great option for families with growing children and shared rooms. Kids can race each other up the ladder and take turns sliding down the slide and bring hours of fun to their space.
