Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great option to save money and maximize space. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports to prevent gaps or spaces in which children may become stuck or entangled.
The method by which the bed can be accessed is also important. Bunk beds are typically accessed via stairs or ladders and angled ladders take less space than traditional ladders that are vertical.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be a great option to maximize space in a tiny room. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or the most compact room in your home, bunks for kids will help you save floor space, without sacrificing any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin designs, which means your kids can share a bed while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed can be an excellent option, especially if the bottom bunk is used as a playroom or office during the daytime.
Most bunk beds have a ladder or staircase built into the frame. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling for safety reasons. This is to prevent bumped heads while making sure that the kid sleeping on the top bunk isn't high.
If you're looking to keep your kids' bedroom furniture stylish look into an oak bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add an additional stylish element to your kids' room but it also provides ample storage for every book, toy or things they might require to store away.
Some bunks can be expanded from a bed to a futon. This allows your kids to use the lower bed as a sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night for an incredibly comfortable bed. This kind of bunk bed is great when you have enough space and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping space.
If you don't have the space for a traditional bunk you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are placed in the corner of the room. This leaves space for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Visit Home Page have an attached desk, which means that your children can complete their homework while still in their beds. This helps them remain focused during the study period and promotes good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are ideal for children who wish to sleep separately but don't have the space to have two bedrooms. Many of our bunk beds are equipped with a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb to the top of the bed. This is more secure than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed, which could be dangerous. Children should only climb onto the top bunk if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which typically happens when they reach six years old.
Many parents are attracted by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angle ladders to improve the safety and ease of use. These ladders are more comfortable to hold and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, kids put their feet on the rungs one at a time and move up until they reach top bunk. Consider a ladder that has handhole cutouts and anti-slip grooves to make it easier for children to grip the ladder as they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we have several different types of stairs that can be permanently fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. They have a railing that runs around the stairs to ensure safety. They also feature a wider tread that prevents slipping and falling. You can pick a set with built-in drawers for an attractive appearance. This is a great option to keep your child's space clean and organized.
A loft bed that doesn't have a ladder connecting it to the bottom bunk is another method of reducing space. This leaves more room for kids to play and sleep underneath. These bunk beds and lofts typically resemble a treehouse, making them a great option for kids who enjoy spending time in the outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds also feature an optional slide for an extra touch of fun.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds provide additional storage options to help kids keep their rooms tidy and clean. They can store clothes, books, toys, and more vertically, which saves valuable floor space. These beds can also be used in traditional and modern bedroom designs.

Fun Slide
A slide can increase the excitement of a kid's bunk bed. The excitement of the children running down the top bunk encourages imaginative play and activity, making it easier to sleep at night.

Our bunk beds that have slides come with the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. This can be connected either to the side of the ladder, or in front, based on the dimensions of the room. Based on the height of the frame, the slide protrudes about 190 cm into the room, and an exit opening of 70 cm is required.
