The 10 Most Scariest Things About Kids Bunk Bed

Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Kids bunk beds are an excellent way to maximize space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Choose models with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to prevent gaps or spaces in which children can become trapped or entangled.

Another factor to consider is how the bed is accessed: bunks usually feature stairs or ladders, with angled ladders taking less space than standard vertical ones.

Space-Saving Design

Bunk beds are a great option to maximize space in a small room. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or even the most compact room in your home, bunks for kids can help you save floor space, without sacrificing any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds come with twin over full or twin over queen designs so that your children can sleep side by side while still enjoying their personal 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 daytime.

The majority of bunks have a ladder built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. The ladder's height shouldn't exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling to ensure safety. 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 in style look into a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This not only provides an elegant touch to the room of your child however, it also offers ample storage space for each book, toy and items they'll require to store away.

Some bunks offer the ability to convert from a standard bed to the futon. This lets your children 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 ideal when you have enough space and your kids are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface.

If you don't have enough space for a traditional bunk bed, think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of your children's room, leaving the space for other furniture like dressers or shelves. Some bunks also have beds with desks that are attached, making it simple for your young children to complete their homework while lying down in bed. This will help them to stay focused and instil good habits during study time.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds are great for children who wish to sleep in a separate room but don't have the space for two separate bedrooms. Most of our bunk beds are equipped with a ladder that makes it simple for children to climb up to the top of the bed. This is much safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which could be dangerous. Kids should only attempt to climb onto the top bunk only if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which usually happens when they reach six years old.

These ladders are easier to grip and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, kids simply place 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 as well as handhole cutouts to help children to grip the ladder as they climb.
