Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great way to save money and make the most of space. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports to stop gaps or spaces where children could become stuck or entangled.
The method by which the bed is accessible is also a crucial aspect. Bunk beds are usually accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders take up less space than standard ladders that are vertical.

Bunk beds are the perfect way to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for children are a great option to free up space in a tiny room or attic. They also provide the comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds are twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your kids can share a bed while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed can be an excellent option, especially if the bottom bunk will be used as an office or playroom during the daytime.
Most bunks have ladders built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. The ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling to ensure safety. This will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk does not sleep too high.
If you're looking to keep your kids' bedroom furniture looking chic look into a wooden bunk bed with stairs. This not only provides an extra stylish touch to your kids' room but it also provides ample storage space for every book, toy or items they'll need to stow away.
Some bunks can also be expanded from a 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 create a comfortable sleeping area at night. This type of bunk bed is ideal if you have enough space and your children are old enough to be able to handle the extra sleeping space.
If you don't have the space for traditional bunks consider alternatives such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are placed across the corner of your children's room, leaving the 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 will help them stay focused during study time and promotes good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are the ideal solution for kids who prefer to sleep in separate rooms, but don't have enough space to have two separate rooms. A lot of our bunk beds come with a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb to the top bed. This is much safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which can be risky. Children should only climb on top bunks if they are mature enough to climb safely, which is usually when they reach six years old.
While many parents are tempted to buy bunk beds that have straight ladders, we suggest selecting beds with angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders offer a smoother climbing experience and are also more comfortable to hold. To climb, kids place their feet on the rungs in a sequence and then climb up until they reach the top bunk. Think about a ladder that comes with anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to make it easier for children to hold onto the ladder as they climb.
If you're seeking an all-time solution there are a myriad of types of stairs that can be permanently mounted to the frame of bunk beds. The stairs are equipped with a railing that runs around the stairs to ensure safety. They also have a wider tread that prevents slipping and falling. You can select an option with built-in drawers to give it a more decorative appearance. This is a great way to keep your child's bedroom neat and tidy.
Another option to save space is to select loft beds that don't connect to the bottom bunk using any ladder and leaves plenty of room underneath for children to play or to sleep. Many of these bunk and loft beds are designed to be reminiscent of a treehouse or some other fun structure, so they're a great choice for kids who enjoy spending time in the outdoors. Some of our bunk and loft beds have an added slide for an additional touch of excitement.
Extra Storage
A variety of loft beds and bunk beds provide additional storage options that can help children keep their rooms neat and tidy. These beds use vertical space to store clothes, books, toys and much more without taking up floor space. These beds can be used with both modern and traditional bedroom styles. Pottery Barn Kids has a an extensive selection of twin over full beds that are perfect for your child's bedroom and requirements.
A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an an easy method to add storage space to your child's bunk bed. It has two drawers for clothing, shoes, bedtime essentials and other items. The drawers are mounted on casters that are unidirectional that make it simple for children to open and close them. This is a great choice for kids who share the same space, as it helps to keep one another's belongings out of each other's reach.
This Maxtrix loft bed also includes a built-in desk as well as a the hutch for a useful study nook.

Fun Slide
A slide can enhance the excitement of a kid's bunk bed. The excitement of kids rushing down the top bunk stimulates imagination and play which makes it easier for them to fall asleep at time of night.
Bunk beds that slide are a great option for families that are growing and sharing rooms. Kids can race up the ladder and then take turns sliding down the slide and bring hours of enjoyment to their space.
