The 15 Things Your Boss Would Like You To Know You Knew About Kids Bunk Bed
Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space and save money on separate rooms. Find beds with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or areas that children might become trapped or stuck.
Another consideration is how the bed is accessible: bunks are usually equipped with ladders or stairs and angled ladders take up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are the perfect solution to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for children are a great option to save space in a small room or attic. They also offer convenience and elegance. The majority of bunk beds come with twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your kids can sleep side-by-side while still having their own space. A bunk bed for three is a great option, especially if you plan to use the lower bunk for a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds come with an escalator or ladder built into the frame. To ensure safety, the height of the ladder should not exceed 5 to 6 feet from the ceiling. This is to avoid bumped heads while ensuring the younger child who is sleeping on the top bunk isn't high.
If you want to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style look into a wooden bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a stylish accent to your child's bedroom, but also provide ample storage space for all the books, toys and knickknacks they may need.
Some bunks also have the ability to expand from a standard bed to a futon. This allows your kids to make use of the lower bed as a sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon in the evening for an incredibly comfortable bed. This type of bunk is ideal if you have the room and your children are old enough to manage the additional sleeping space.
If you don't have enough space for the traditional bunk consider alternatives such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are placed across the corner of your child's' room, which leaves the remaining space for other furniture such as shelves or dressers. Alternatively, some bunks feature beds with a desk that are attached, making it simple for your young kids to work while sitting up in the bed. This can help them focus and develop good habits for studying.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be a great solution for children who want to be able to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space for two separate rooms. Most of our bunk beds come with a ladder that makes it simple for children to climb to the top bed. This is safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which can be risky. Children should only climb on top bunks if they are mature enough to climb safely, which is usually when they reach six years old.
Many parents are attracted by the straight ladders that are found on bunk beds, but we recommend angles to increase the safety and ease of use. They provide a smoother climbing experience and are also more comfortable to hold. To climb, kids simply put their feet on each step one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. For even more safety, choose a ladder with grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand hole cutouts that allow kids to hold onto while they climb.
If you are looking for a permanent solution there are a myriad of designs of stairways that could be fixed permanently to the frame of a bunk bed. They have a railing around the staircase to provide additional safety. They also have a wider tread to prevent slipping and falling. For a more decorative look, you can choose a set of stairs with built-in storage drawers. They are ideal for keeping your children's rooms organized and tidy.
A loft bed without a ladder that connects it to the bottom bunk is another way to save space. This gives more space for kids to play and sleep on. These loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them a great option for children who love spending time outdoors. Some of our bunk and loft beds have an added slide that can add a spark of excitement.
Extra Storage

Many loft and bunk beds also have storage options for kids to keep their rooms tidy and clean. These beds can be used to store clothes, books, toys, and more vertically, saving valuable floor space. These beds work well with both modern and traditional bedroom styles. Pottery Barn Kids has a numerous twin beds that can be adapted to your child's bedroom and requirements.
A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is the perfect option to add more storage to your kiddo's bunk bed. It has two large drawers that can be used to store shoes, clothes, bedtime necessities, and other things. The drawers are positioned on casters unidirectional that make it simple for children to open and close them. This is an excellent option for children who share a room, as it can help keep one another's belongings away from each other's reach.
This Maxtrix loft includes a built-in desk and hutch, which can be used as an area for study. The solid wooden desk can be easily removed from under the bed, and folded back in when not being used. This creates more room in the bedroom to play. This is a great option for kids that like to work on their computer or do crafts all day long.
The bed at the bottom of this Maxtrix bunk can be turned into a comfortable sofa when it's not time to sleeping. This is a great option for kids who like to invite friends to sleepovers, or for parents who want to save space in the guest room.

Fun Slide
A slide can boost the excitement of a kid's bunk bed. The excitement of the children running down the top bunk is a great way to encourage creative play and activities, making it easier for them to fall asleep at the end of the night.
