10 Things We Hate About Kids Bunk Bed
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. Find beds with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or spaces that children might get stuck or caught.
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 can be an excellent way to maximize space in a tiny room. Whether you're looking to outfit an attic bedroom or the most compact room in your home, bunk beds for kids help you reduce floor space without losing any style or comfort. The majority of bunk beds come with twin over full or twin over queen designs so that your kids can share a bed while enjoying their own 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.
The majority of bunk beds come with an entryway or ladder built into the frame. The ladder's height shouldn't exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling for safety reasons. This is to avoid bumped heads and to ensure that the child who is sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high up.
You should consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs for your kids' bedroom furniture to look elegant. This will not only add an additional stylish element to your kids' room but it also provides ample storage for every book, toy and knick-knack they may require to store away.
Some bunks offer the ability to convert from a standard bed to the futon. This lets your kids use the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night for an incredibly comfortable bed. This kind of bunk bed is perfect when you have enough space and your kids are old enough to be able to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If you do not have the space to fit a traditional bunk bed, think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This allows room for other furniture like dressers or shelves. Some bunks also have beds with a desk that are attached, making it simple for your little kids to work while sitting up in the bed. This will help them remain focused and help them develop good habits for studying.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are great for children who wish to be able to sleep independently but don't have enough room for two separate bedrooms. Many of our bunk beds have a ladder that makes it simple for children to climb up to the top of the bed. This is more secure than climbing the sides of the bunk bed, which can be risky. Children should only climb on top bunks if they are old enough to do so safely, which usually happens when they are at least six years old.
Many parents are enticed to buy bunk bed bunk beds with straight ladders, we recommend choosing beds that have angled ladders for more safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grip and provide a more pleasant experience. To climb, children simply set 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 with grooved anti-slip steps as well as hand holes that make it easier for kids to hold onto as they climb.
If you're looking for a permanent solution, we offer various styles of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. These stairs feature an edging that is placed around the staircase for additional safety and also more treads to prevent slips and falls. You can select an option with built-in drawers to give it an appealing appearance. This is a great choice to keep your child's space neat and tidy.
A loft bed without a ladder connecting it to the bunk below is another method of reducing space. This leaves more room for kids to play in and sleep on. A lot of these loft and bunk beds are designed to be reminiscent of a treehouse or some other amusing structure, making them a great choice for kids who love to spend time outside. Some of our bunk beds and lofts also feature an optional slide to add an extra element of fun.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds offer additional storage options that can help children keep their rooms neat and tidy. They can store clothes, books, toys, and more vertically, thereby saving floor space. These beds can be used with both traditional and modern bedroom styles.
