Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space while saving money on separate rooms. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports to stop gaps or spaces in which children may become stuck or entangled.
Another thing to consider is how the bed can be accessible: bunks are usually equipped with stairs or ladders with angled ladders taking up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be the ideal method to make the most of space in a small room. Bunk beds for kids are a great way to save space in a small room or attic. They also offer the comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds are twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your kids can share a bed while having their own space. A bunk bed for three is a great option, especially in the event that you plan to use the lower bunk as an office or playroom during the day.
The majority of bunk beds come with a ladder or staircase built into the frame. For safety reasons the ladder's height should be no higher than 5-6 feet from the ceiling. This will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk does not sleep too high.
If you want to keep your children's bedroom furniture looking chic look into an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add an additional stylish element to the room of your child but it also provides ample storage space for every book, toy or knick-knack they may require to store away.
Some bunks can be converted from a bed to a futon. This allows your children to use the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day and then slide out the top futon to make a comfortable sleeping area at night. This type of bunk is perfect for rooms with a lot of space and your children are old enough to manage the additional sleeping space.
If you don't have enough space for a traditional bunk bed think about a corner bunk or loft. These beds are positioned in the corner of your child's room, leaving the room for other kids' furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Alternatively, some bunks feature beds with a desk that are attached, making it easy for your little children to complete their homework while lying down in the bed. This will help them stay focused during their study time and helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are great for children who wish to sleep in a separate room but don't have enough room to have two bedrooms. A majority of our beds feature an incline to make it easier for children to climb up the top bunk. This is safer than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed, which can be risky. Kids should only climb the top bunk when they are able do it safely. This usually happens at least six years of age.
Many parents are attracted by the straight ladders that are found on bunk beds, but we recommend angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grasp and offer a smoother experience. To climb, kids put their feet on the rungs one at atime and then move 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 holes that allow kids to hold on to when they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we provide various styles of stairs that can be permanently fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs have an edging that is placed around the staircase for additional safety, and they have more treads to prevent slips and falls. To give a more attractive look, consider an stairwell with built-in storage drawers. They are ideal for keeping your children's rooms organized and tidy.
Another option to save space is to select loft beds that don't connect to the bottom bunk using any ladder leaving plenty of space beneath for kids to play or to sleep. These bunk beds and lofts typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them an ideal choice for children who love playing outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds come with a slide to add an extra element of fun.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds provide additional storage options for kids to keep their rooms neat and tidy. These beds make use of vertical space to store clothing books, toys, books and more without taking up floor space. These beds also work well in modern and traditional bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a wide selection of twin beds that will fit your child's bedroom and needs.
The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers can be used as a storage solution to the bunk beds your child sleeps in. It comes with two drawers that can be used to store clothes, shoes, bedtime necessities, and other things. The drawers are mounted on casters that are unidirectional, which make it easy for children to open and close them. This is a great option for kids who share rooms, since it can help keep each other's possessions out of each other's reach.
This Maxtrix loft bed also has a built-in desk and hutch for a functional study area. The solid wooden desk can be easily removed from under the bed, and then folded back up when it is not being used. This allows for more room in the bedroom to play. It's a smart solution for kids who like to make crafts all day long or use computers for homework assignments.

This is an excellent option for kids who like hosting sleepovers with their friends or for parents who are trying to make space in their guest room.

They come in many various styles, finishes and configurations. There are also options that include a storage ladder or a trundle to accommodate guests staying over, making it easy to accommodate a family's evolving requirements in one room.
Fun Slide
A slide can enhance the excitement of a kid's bunk bed. The excitement of children racing down the top bunk is a great way to encourage imaginative play and activity, making it easier for them to fall asleep at night.
Bunk beds with slides offer the perfect opportunity to mix sleep and play in one space, ideal for shared rooms for kids and growing families. Kids can climb the ladder and then slide down the slide. This can provide hours of fun in their space.
Our unique loft and bunk bed models with slide are available in twin and full sizes, so they can fit comfortably in most rooms. They can be separated later to create two standard beds. This bed frame for bunk beds is crafted of solid birch and features natural finishes as shown but can also be purchased in White or Chestnut.
For rooms with limited space, our bunk bed with slide options include the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower, which can be attached to either the side of the ladder or the front of the bunk bed frame. The slide can extend up to 190 cm depending on the height of the frame. A 70-cm exit opening is required.
