Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Find bunk bed for kids with solid foundations and mattress supports to stop gaps or spaces in which children could become stuck or trapped.
Another factor to consider is how the bed can be accessed: bunks usually feature ladders or stairs with angled ladders taking less space than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be the ideal method to make the most of space in a tiny room. Bunk beds for kids are a great way to save space in a tiny room or attic. They also offer convenience and elegance. The majority of bunk beds are twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your children can share a bed while having their own space. A bunk bed for three is also an excellent option, particularly if you plan to use the lower bunk for a playroom or office during the day.
Most bunks come with a ladder built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. The ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling for safety reasons. This will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk does not sleep too high.
If you're looking to keep your kids' bedroom furniture stylish look into a wooden bunk bed with stairs. Not only will this add an additional stylish element to your kids' room however, it also offers ample storage for every book, toy or things they might require to put away.
Some bunks also offer the possibility of expanding from a standard bed into an actual futon. This lets your kids make use of the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then slide out the top futon to create an incredibly comfortable sleeping area at night. This type of bunk is ideal when you have a room and your kids are old enough to manage the additional sleeping surface.
If you do not have the space to accommodate a traditional bunk bed think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are placed in the corner of the room. This leaves space for other furniture, like cabinets or shelves. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, which means that your kids can do their homework while in their bed. This helps them stay focused during their study time and encourages good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be an ideal solution for children who prefer to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space to have two separate rooms. A majority of our beds feature an incline to make it easier for kids to access the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which can be dangerous. Children should only climb up onto the top bunk only if they are old enough to be able to do it 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 suggest angles to increase safety and convenience. They provide a smoother climbing experience, and they're also easier to grasp. To climb up, kids simply set their feet on each rung one at a and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Look for a ladder with anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to help children to grip the ladder while they climb.
If you're looking for an all-time solution, there are many different styles of stairways that can be fixed permanently to the frame of bunk beds. These stairs have a railing that runs around the stairs to offer additional security. They also have a wider tread to prevent slipping and falling. You can select an option with built-in drawers for an appealing appearance. This is a great option to keep your child's bedroom clean and organized.
Another method to reduce space is to select an loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk using a ladder at all leaving plenty of space beneath for kids to play or sleep. The loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them a great option for kids who enjoy spending time in the outdoors. Some of our bunk and loft beds come with an optional slide for an additional touch of excitement.
Extra Storage
A variety of loft beds and bunk beds also have storage options to help kids keep their rooms tidy and neat. These beds make use of vertical space to store clothing books, toys, books and much more without taking up valuable floor space. These beds work well with both modern and traditional bedroom styles. Browse the collection of full and twin bunk beds at Pottery Barn Kids to find a bed that fits your child's requirements and the design of their room.
The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers can be used to add additional storage to your child's bunk beds.

This is an excellent option for children sharing rooms, since it can help keep one another's belongings away from each other's reach.

Fun Slide
A slide can enhance the fun factor of a kids bunk bed. Children love rushing down the slide from the top bunk, and the excitement encourages activity and imaginative play, making it much easier to get up and ready to go to sleep at night.
Bunk beds that have slides are an excellent way to combine play and sleep in the same space, ideal for shared rooms for kids and growing families. Kids can race one another up the ladder, and then slide down the slide and bring hours of enjoyment to their space.

For rooms with limited space, our bunk bed with slide options include the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower, which can be connected to either the side of the ladder, or the front of the frame for the bunk bed.
