Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space and save money on separate rooms. Choose affordable bunk beds for kids with solid foundations and mattress supports to avoid gaps or areas where children may become stuck or trapped.
Another factor to consider is how the bed can be accessible: bunks typically have ladders or stairs and angled ladders take up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal way to make the most of a tiny space. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or even the smallest room in your home, bunk beds for kids will help you save floor space, without giving up any comfort or style. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your kids can share a bed while enjoying their own space. A three-person bunk bed can be an excellent option, especially if the bottom bunk can be used as a playroom or office during the day.
The majority of bunk beds have an entryway or ladder built into the frame. For safety reasons, the ladder's height should not be more than 5-6 feet from the ceiling. This will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk does not sleep too high.
Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs if you want your children's bedroom furniture to look stylish. This will not only add an elegant touch to your children's room but it also provides ample storage space for every book, toy and items they'll require to put away.
Some bunks offer the ability to expand from a standard bed to an actual 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 a comfortable place to sleep. This type of bunk bed is great if you have enough space and your children are old enough to be able to handle the extra sleeping surface.
If you don't have enough space for the traditional bunk bed, consider a corner bunk or loft. These beds are placed across the corner of your child's rooms, which leave the room for other kids' furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Alternatively, some bunks feature beds with desks connected, which makes it easy for your little children to complete their homework while lying down in bed. This will help them stay focused during their study time and helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be the ideal solution for kids who want to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space for two separate rooms. A lot of our bunk beds are equipped with a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb to the top bed. This is more secure than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed, which can be risky. Kids should only attempt to climb on top bunks if they are mature enough to climb safely, which typically happens when they are at least six years old.
Many parents are attracted by the straight ladders on bunk beds, but we suggest angles to increase the safety and ease of use. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience, and they're also easier to grasp. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs one at a time and then climb 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 while they climb.
If you are seeking an all-time solution There are a variety of styles of stairways that can be permanently attached to the frame of bunk beds. They have an edging that is placed around the staircase to provide additional security and also more treads to prevent accidents and falls. For a more decorative look, you can choose a set of stairs with built-in storage drawers. They are a great way to keep your children's rooms organized and tidy.
A loft bed that doesn't have an attached ladder to the bottom bunk is another method of reducing space. This leaves more room for kids to play and sleep under. Many of these loft and bunk beds are designed to look like a treehouse or another structures that are fun, making them the ideal option for children who love to spend time in the outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds have a slide that can be added for an extra touch of fun.
Extra Storage
A variety of loft beds and bunk beds also have storage options that can help children keep their rooms tidy and neat. These beds can be used to store clothes, books toys, books, and more vertically, saving valuable floor space. These beds also work well in traditional and modern bedroom designs. Browse the collection of full and twin bunk beds at Pottery Barn Kids to find the bed that best suits your child's requirements and the design of their room.
A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an the perfect method to add storage space to your child's bunk bed.

This is a great option for children sharing the same space, as it allows them to keep one another's belongings out of each other's reach.

Fun Slide
A slide can boost the excitement of a kid's bunk bed. The excitement of children racing down the top bunk is a great way to encourage imaginative play and activity, making it easier to sleep at night.
Bunk beds that have slides are the perfect opportunity to mix play and sleep in the same space that is ideal for sharing kid's rooms and growing families. Kids can race each other up the ladder, and then slide down the slide, bringing hours of fun to their room.
