Kids Bunk Bed: 11 Thing You're Forgetting To Do

Kids Bunk Bed – A Great Way to Maximize Space Bunk beds for children are a great choice to save money while maximizing space. Find beds with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to avoid gaps or spaces in which children could become stuck or entangled. The method by which the bed can be accessible is also a crucial aspect. Bunk beds are generally accessible via ladders or stairs, and angled ladders take less space than standard ladders that are vertical. Space-Saving Design Bunk beds are an excellent way to maximize space in a small room. Bunk beds for kids are a great way to free up space in a small room or attic. They also offer convenience and elegance. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen configurations so your children can sleep side by side while enjoying their own space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent option, particularly if the bottom bunk will be used as an office or playroom during the daytime. The majority of bunk bed s come with a ladder or staircase built into the frame. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling for safety reasons. This is to prevent bumped heads and to ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk isn't high. Think about a wooden bunkbed that has stairs if you want your children's bedroom furniture to appear stylish. This will not only add a stylish accent to your child's bedroom and provide plenty of storage space for all the books, toys and other knickknacks that they might need. Some bunks can be converted from a bed to a futon. This lets your children use the lower bed as a sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night for a comfortable place to sleep. This kind of bunk is perfect for rooms with a lot of space and your children are old enough to manage the additional sleeping surface. If you don't have enough space for traditional bunks, look into options like a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of your child's rooms, which leave the remaining space for other kids' furniture such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, which means that your kids can do their homework while still in bed. This will help them remain focused and help them develop good habits during their study time. Easy Climbing Ladder Bunk beds are a great solution for children who prefer to sleep in separate rooms but don't have enough space to have two separate rooms. Many of our beds have a ladder that makes it easier for kids to access the top bunk. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bunk bed, which could be dangerous. Children should only climb the top bunk when they can safely do so. This is usually at least six years of age. Many parents are attracted by the straight ladders that are found on bunk beds, but we suggest angles to increase safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grip and offer a smoother experience. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs one at a time and then move upwards until they reach the top bunk. Consider a ladder that has anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to make it easier for children to grip the ladder while they climb. If you're looking for an option that is permanent there are a myriad of styles of stairways that can be permanently attached to the frame of a bunk bed. These stairs have a railing around the staircase to provide additional safety. They also feature a wider tread to prevent slipping and falling. You can select an item with built-in drawers for an appealing appearance. This is a great option to keep your child's space organized and tidy. A loft bed that doesn't have an attached ladder to the bunk below is another method of reducing space. This allows more space for children to play and sleep under. The loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, making them a great option for kids who enjoy spending time outside. Some of our loft and bunk beds also feature an optional slide for an extra touch of fun. Extra Storage Many loft and bunk bed options offer additional storage space to help children keep their rooms neat. They can store books, clothes toys, and other items vertically, which saves valuable floor space. These beds can be used with both modern and traditional bedroom styles.

A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an an easy method to add storage space to your child's bunk bed. It features two large drawers for clothing and footwear, bedtime essentials, and other items. The drawers are mounted on unidirectional casters, which make it easy for kids to open and close them. This is a great option for children sharing the same space, as it allows them to keep one another's belongings away from each other's reach. This Maxtrix loft comes with a built in desk and hutch, which can be used as a study nook. The solid wood desk can be easily removed from under the bed and folded back in when not being used.

Fun Slide The fun of bunk beds for children can be enhanced even further by the addition of a slide.
