Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great choice to save money while maximizing space. Find beds with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that prevent gaps or spaces where children can get stuck or caught.
The method by which the bed is accessible is also crucial. Bunk beds are generally accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders take less space than traditional ladders that are vertical.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds can be a great way to maximize space in a tiny room. Bunk beds for kids are a great way to make space in a small space or attic. They also offer comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds come with twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your kids can share a bed while still enjoying their personal space. A bunk bed for three is also a great option, especially in the event that you plan to use the bottom bunk as a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds come with an entryway or ladder built into the frame. For safety reasons it is recommended that the ladder's height should not exceed 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This will avoid head bumps and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't rest too high.
Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs if you want your children's bedroom furniture to be stylish. This will not only add a chic design to your child's room, but also provide ample storage space for all the toys, books and other items they might require.
Some bunks also offer the ability to convert from a standard bed to an actual futon. bunk bed for kids allows your kids to make use of the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night to provide the perfect place to sleep. This kind of bunk is perfect if you have the room and your children are old enough to manage the extra sleeping space.
If you don't have the space to accommodate the traditional bunk bed, consider a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This makes room for other furniture, like cabinets or shelves. Alternatively, some bunks feature beds that have desks that are attached, making it simple for your little kids to work while sitting up in bed. This will help them focus and develop good habits for studying.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are ideal for kids who want to be able to sleep independently but don't have enough space for two separate bedrooms. Most of our bunk beds come with a ladder that makes it simple for children to climb to the top of the bed. This is safer than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed which could be dangerous. Children should only climb on top bunks only if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which is usually when they are at least six years old.
Many parents are tempted by 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, kids simply set their feet on each rung one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Look for a ladder with handhole cutouts and anti-slip grooves to allow children to grip the ladder as they climb.
If you're looking for a permanent solution, we have several different types of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. They have an edging around the staircase to offer additional security. They also feature a wider tread that prevents slipping and falling. You can select an item with built-in drawers for a more decorative appearance. This is a great way to keep your child's bedroom clean and organized.
Another option to save space is by opting for an loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk using a ladder at all leaving plenty of space underneath for children to play and sleep. These bunk beds and lofts typically resemble a treehouse, making them a great option for kids who enjoy playing outside. Some of our bunk beds and lofts come with a slide for an extra touch of fun.
Extra Storage
A variety of loft and bunk beds have additional storage space to aid children in keeping their rooms tidy. These beds utilize vertical space to store clothes books, toys, and more, without taking up valuable floor space. They also work in traditional and contemporary bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a an extensive selection of twin beds that are perfect for your child's bedroom and requirements.
A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is a simple option to add more storage space to your child's bunk bed. It has two large drawers that can be used to store shoes, clothing as well as bedtime essentials and other items. The drawers are mounted on unidirectional casters, which make it easy for children to open and close them. This is a great option for kids who share a room. It allows them to keep the belongings of each other from each other.
This Maxtrix loft includes a built-in desk and hutch that can be used to create an study area. The solid wooden desk can be easily removed from under the bed, and then folded back up when it is not in use. This creates more room in the bedroom for play.

Fun Slide
A slide can boost the fun factor of a kids bunk bed. The excitement of children racing down the top bunk stimulates imaginative play and activity which makes it easier to sleep at the end of the night.
Bunk beds with slides offer the perfect opportunity to mix play and sleep in one space, ideal for shared rooms for children and families that are growing. Kids can race one another up the ladder, and then slide down the slide, bringing hours of entertainment to their rooms.

For rooms with limited space, our bunk beds with slides include the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower, which can be connected to either the back of the ladder, or the front of the frame for the bunk bed. The slide can protrude up to 190 cm depending on the height of the frame. A 70-cm exit opening is required.
