Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for children are a great way to save money and maximize space. Choose models with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to stop gaps or spaces in which children may become stuck or entangled.
Another factor to consider is how the bed can be accessible: bunks are usually equipped with stairs or ladders with angled ladders taking less space than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are a great way to maximize a small space. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or the small space in your home, bunks for kids will help you reduce floor space without sacrificing any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin designs, which means your children can share a bed, while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent option, particularly in the event that the lower bunk is used as an office or playroom during the day.
Most bunks have an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. The ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling due to safety concerns. This is to prevent bumped heads while ensuring the younger child who is sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high.
Think about a wooden bunkbed that has stairs for your kids' bedroom furniture to appear elegant. This will not only add a stylish accent to your child's bedroom but also provide ample storage space for all the books, toys and knickknacks they may need.
Some bunks also have the ability to expand from a standard bed to a futon. This lets your kids use the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then pull out the top futon to create an incredibly comfortable sleeping area at night. This kind of bunk bed is great for those who have plenty of space and your children are old enough to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have enough space for traditional bunks, look into options like a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This leaves space for other furniture, like cabinets or shelves. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your kids can do their homework while still in bed. This will help them stay focused and instil good habits during their study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are great for children who wish to sleep separately but don't have the space for two separate bedrooms. Most of our bunk beds come with a ladder that makes it easy for children to climb to the top bed. This is much safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which could be risky. Children should only climb onto the top bunk only if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which usually happens when they are at least six years old.
Although many parents are enticed to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we would suggest opting for ones with angled ladders to increase security and ease of use. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience and are also easier to grasp. To climb up, kids simply set their feet on each rung one at a and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Look for a ladder with anti-slip grooves as well as handhole cutouts to make it easier for children to grip the ladder while they climb.
If you're seeking an all-time solution, there are many different types of stairs that can be permanently mounted to the frame of a bunk bed. They have an edging that is placed around the stairs to ensure safety, and they have more treads to prevent accidents and falls. To give a more attractive look, consider the stairs that have built-in storage drawers that are an excellent way to keep your children's rooms organized and tidy.
