Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space and save money on separate rooms. Choose models with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to stop gaps or areas where children may become stuck or entangled.
Another thing to consider is how the bed is accessible: bunks are usually equipped with staircases or ladders, with angled ladders taking less space than traditional vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal way to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for kids are a great option to make space in a small space or attic. They also provide convenience and elegance. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your kids can sleep side-by-side while enjoying their own space. A three-person bunk bed can be an excellent choice, particularly in the event that the lower bunk can be used as a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of 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 will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk does not rest too high.
If you're looking to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style look into a wooden bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a chic design to your child's room and provide plenty of storage space for all the toys, books and other items they might require.
Some bunks can also be expanded from a bed to a futon. This lets your kids make use of the lower bed as a sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon in the evening for the perfect place to sleep. This type of bunk is perfect when you have a room and your kids are old enough to manage the extra sleeping space.
If you don't have enough space for the traditional bunk consider alternatives such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of your kids room, leaving the remaining space for other kids' furniture such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk bed s come with an attached desk, which means that your children can complete their homework while in their beds. This will help them stay focused during study time and helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are perfect for kids who want to be able to sleep independently but don't have the space to have two bedrooms. Most of our beds come with a ladder to make it easier for children to climb up the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which can be dangerous. Kids should only attempt to climb up onto the top bunk only if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which is usually when they are at least six years old.
While many parents are tempted to buy bunk beds that have straight ladders, we recommend opting for ones with angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grasp and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs one at a time and then move upwards until they reach top bunk. Look for a ladder with handhole cutouts and anti-slip grooves to make it easier for children to hold onto the ladder as they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we have various styles of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs have an edging that is placed around the stairs to ensure safety, and they have more treads to prevent falls and slips. You can select an option with built-in drawers for an attractive appearance. This is a great option to keep your child's room organized and tidy.
Another way to save space is to select a loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk using an elevated ladder, which leaves plenty of space underneath for children to play and sleep. Many of these loft and bunk beds are designed to be reminiscent of a treehouse or some other amusing structure, making them an ideal choice for children who enjoy spending time in the outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds also feature an optional slide for an extra touch of fun.
Extra Storage
A variety of loft and bunk beds have additional storage options to help children keep their rooms 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 modern and traditional bedroom styles. Pottery Barn Kids has a wide selection of twin over full beds that are perfect for your child's bedroom and needs.
The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers is a great option to provide additional storage space to the bunk beds your child sleeps in. It comes with two drawers that can be used to store shoes, clothes or bedtime necessities, among other items. The drawers are mounted on casters that are unidirectional making it easy for kids to open and close them. This is a great option for kids who share a room. It helps keep their belongings separate from one another.
This Maxtrix loft includes a built-in desk and hutch that can be used to create an area for study. The solid wood desk can be removed from underneath the bed and folded back into the bed when not being used. This creates more room in the bedroom to play. It's a smart solution for children who love to create all day long or use their computer to complete school assignments.
When it's time to go to bed the bunk at the bottom of this Maxtrix can be converted into a comfortable sofa. This is a great option for children who love having sleepovers with friends or for parents who are seeking to reduce the size of their guest room. This twin over futon is also great for younger children who are preparing to move to regular beds from cribs.
Children who love climbing and are full of energy will enjoy the unique design and practicality of a bunk or loft bed. They are a fun alternative for traditional bedroom furniture. They come in many various styles, finishes and configurations. There are also options that include a ladder for storage or a trundle to accommodate guests staying over which makes it simple to accommodate the changing needs of a family's requirements in one room.
Fun Slide
The fun factor of bunk beds for kids can be enhanced even further with the addition of slides. Children love rushing down the slide from the top bunk and the excitement stimulates active and imaginative play, making it much easier to get up and ready for the night's sleep.
Bunk beds with slides offer a great way to combine play and sleep in the same space, perfect for shared kid's rooms and growing families. Kids can race up the ladder, then slide down the slide. This will bring hours of fun into their space.
Our unique bunk and loft bed models with slide are available in twin over full size to fit comfortably in all bedrooms. They can be split to create two standard beds at a later time. This bunk bed frame comes in a natural finish but it can also be purchased with either a White or Chestnut finish.
For rooms with limited space, our bunk bed with slide options include the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower, which can be connected to either the back of the ladder, or the front of the frame for the bunk bed. Based on the height of the frame the slide extends approximately 190cm into the room, and an exit opening of 70 cm is required.
Pick your kids' bunk beds and include a slide to make the ultimate play-and-sleep combo! You can customize your kids bunk bed with optional bottom play curtain for an imaginative fort-like castle. You can also add drawers for trundles that can provide additional sleeping space for guests staying over.
If you're looking to improve your bunk bed's space-saving design with a slide that can be used as a bunk bed and still have the space for a Trundle, you should consider our Twin over Full Stacked Storage Bunk Bed with Trundle (shown below). This bunk bed that is space-saving has two underbed storage drawers and a twin trundle that pulls out of underneath the top bunk. It can sleep four or more people.
