Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are an excellent way to maximize space while saving money on separate rooms. Choose beds that have sturdy foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or spaces where children can get stuck or caught.
Another thing to consider is how the bed can be accessible: bunks typically have stairs or ladders and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ones.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds can be an excellent option to maximize space in a small room. Bunk beds for kids are a great option to make space in a small room or attic. They also provide the comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds are 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 also an excellent option, particularly if the bottom bunk can be used as an office or playroom during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds have an escalator or ladder built into the frame. For safety reasons it is recommended that the height of the ladder should be no higher than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This will prevent bumps on heads and to ensure that the child who is sleeping on the top bunk isn't high up.
Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs If you want your child's bedroom furniture to be elegant. This will not only add an extra stylish touch to your children's room but it also provides ample storage space for each book, toy and items they'll require to store away.
Some bunks can be expanded from a bed to a futon. This lets your children use the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then slide out the top futon to create an ideal sleeping space at night. This type of bunk bed is great for those who have plenty of space and your kids are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface.
If you don't have enough space for a traditional bunk bed, think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of your child's' room, which leaves the remaining space for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your kids can do their homework while still in their bed. This will help them remain focused and help them develop good habits during their study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are ideal for kids who want to sleep separately but don't have the space to create two separate bedrooms. A lot of our bunk beds are equipped with a ladder that makes it easy for children to climb to the top of the bed. This is more secure than climbing the sides of the bunk bed which can be risky.

These ladders are easier to grip and provide a more pleasant experience. To climb, kids simply place their feet on each rung one at a and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Consider a ladder that has anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to make it easier for youngsters to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
