Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are an excellent way to maximize space and save money on separate rooms. Choose models with solid foundations and mattress supports to prevent gaps or areas where children can become trapped or trapped.
Another factor to consider is how the bed is accessed: bunks usually feature staircases or ladders with angled ladders taking less space than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be a great option to maximize space in a small room. Bunk beds for kids are a great option to make space in a tiny room or attic. They also provide the comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your kids can share a bed while having their own space. A bunk bed for three is also a great option, especially in the event that you plan to use the bottom bunk as an office or playroom during the daytime.
Most bunks have a ladder built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling due to safety concerns. This is to avoid bumped heads while ensuring the younger child who is sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high.

This type of bunk is perfect when you have a room and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space to fit a traditional bunk bed, think about a corner bunk or loft. These beds are positioned in the corner of your children's' room, which leaves the space for other furniture like dressers or shelves. Additionally, some bunks have beds with a desk that are attached, making it easy for your little children to complete their homework while lying down in bed.

A majority of our beds feature a ladder to make it easier for children to reach the top bunk. This is safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which can be risky. Kids should only climb the top bunk when they are able do it safely. This is usually at least six years of age.
Many parents are tempted by the straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angled ladders to increase the safety and ease of use. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience and are also more comfortable to hold. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs in a sequence and move up until they reach top bunk. Think about a ladder that comes with anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to allow youngsters to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If childrens bunk bed seeking an option that is permanent there are a myriad of types of stairs that can be fixed permanently to the frame of bunk beds. These stairs have a railing that runs around the stairs to provide additional safety. They also have a larger tread to prevent slipping and falling.
