10 Things We Hate About Kids Bunk Bed

Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Bunk beds for kids are a great option to save money while maximizing space. Look for models with solid foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or spaces where children could be trapped or entangled.

Another factor to consider is how the bed is accessible: bunks typically have stairs or ladders, with angled ladders taking less space than traditional vertical ones.

Space-Saving Design

Bunk beds are a great way to maximize a small space. Whether you're looking to outfit an attic bedroom or the small space in your home, bunks for kids can help you save floor space, without sacrificing any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your children can share a bed while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent option, particularly if the bottom bunk will be used as a playroom or office during the daytime.

The majority of bunk beds come with an escalator or ladder built into the frame. The ladder's height shouldn't exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling to ensure safety. This will prevent bumps on heads while making sure that the kid sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high.

If you're looking to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style, consider choosing an oak bunk bed with stairs. Not only will this add an extra stylish touch to your children's room however, it also offers ample storage space for each book, toy or knick-knack they may require to put away.

Some bunks can also be converted from a bed to a futon. This lets your kids use the lower bed as a sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night for an incredibly comfortable bed. This type of bunk bed is perfect when you have enough space and your children are old enough to manage the extra sleeping surface.

If  bunk bed for kids  don't have the space to fit a traditional bunk bed think about a corner bunk or loft. These beds are set in the corner of your kids' room, which leaves the space for other kids' furniture such as shelves or dressers. Some bunks also have beds with desks connected, which makes it simple for your young children to complete their homework while sitting up in the bed. This helps them remain focused during the study period and helps them develop good habits.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds are perfect for children who wish to sleep in a separate room but don't have the space for two separate bedrooms. Most of our bunk beds have a ladder that makes it easy for children to climb to the top of the bed. This is much safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which can be risky. Children should only climb up onto the top bunk when they are mature enough to climb safely, which usually happens when they are at least six years old.

Many parents are enticed by the straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grip and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, children simply put their feet on each step one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. To ensure security, you should consider a ladder that has grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand hole cutouts that make it easier for children to hold on to while they climb.

If you're seeking an all-time solution there are a myriad of types of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of a bunk bed. They have a railing that surrounds the staircase for additional safety and also a larger tread to prevent accidents and falls. For a more stylish look, you can choose an stairwell with built-in storage drawers, which are an excellent way to keep your children's rooms tidy and tidy.

Another method to reduce space is by opting for loft beds that don't connect to the bottom bunk with any ladder leaving plenty of space underneath for kids to play or sleep. A lot of these bunk beds and lofts are designed to resemble a treehouse or other amusing structure, making them a great choice for kids who enjoy spending time in the outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds have an added slide to add an extra touch of excitement.

Extra Storage

Many bunk and loft beds provide additional storage options to help kids keep their rooms tidy and neat. These beds use vertical space to store clothes, books, toys and more without taking up floor space. These beds also work well in modern and traditional bedroom designs.

It helps keep each other's belongings away from each other.

This Maxtrix loft includes a built-in desk and hutch to create an area for study. The solid wood desk can be removed from under the bed, and folded back in when not being used.

Fun Slide

The fun factor of bunk beds for kids can be enhanced even further by adding slides. Kids love jumping down the slide from the top bunk, and the excitement encourages activity and imaginative play, making it much easier to get up and ready for the night's sleep.

Bunk beds that slide are a great option for growing families and shared rooms. Kids can race one another up the ladder and then take turns sliding down the slide and bring hours of fun to their space.
