Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
kids bunk bed mattresses double bunk beds for kids beds are a great way to maximize space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Choose models with solid foundations and mattress supports to prevent gaps or spaces in which children could become stuck 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 traditional vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be an excellent option to maximize space in a small room. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or even the smallest room in your home, bunk beds for kids will help you save floor space, without losing any style or comfort. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your kids can share a bed while having their own space. A bunk bed for three is also a great option, especially when you intend to use the bottom bunk as a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds come with a ladder or staircase built into the frame. To ensure safety, the height of the ladder should be no higher than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This is to prevent bumped heads while ensuring the younger child who is sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get 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 accent to your child's bedroom, but also provide ample storage space for all the toys, books and knickknacks they may need.
Some bunks can also be expanded from a bed to a futon. This lets your children utilize the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime, and then pull out the top futon to make a comfortable sleeping area at night. This kind of bunk is ideal for rooms with a lot of space and your children are old enough to manage the additional sleeping space.
If you do not have enough space for a traditional bunk bed, consider a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are placed across the corner of your children's' room, which leaves the room for other furniture like dressers or shelves. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while still in bed. This helps them stay focused during their study time and promotes good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be the ideal solution for kids who prefer to sleep in separate rooms, but do not have the space for two separate rooms. A majority of our beds feature a ladder to make it easier for kids to reach the top bunk. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which could be risky. Children should only climb on the top bunk when they can safely climb it. This usually happens at least six years of age.
Many parents are enticed by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angled ladders to increase the safety and ease of use. They provide a smoother climbing experience, and they're also easier to grip. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs one at atime and then climb up until they reach top bunk. For even more safety, consider choosing a ladder with grooved anti-slip steps as well as hand hole cutouts that allow kids to hold on to when they climb.
If you're seeking an all-time solution There are a variety of styles of stairways that can be permanently mounted to the frame of bunk beds. These stairs have a railing that runs around the stairs to ensure safety. They also feature a wider tread to prevent slipping and falling. You can choose a set with built-in drawers for an attractive appearance. This is a great choice to keep your child's bedroom neat and tidy.
A loft bed without a ladder that connects it to the bottom bunk is another method of reducing space. This allows more space for children to play and sleep under. Many of these bunk beds and lofts are designed to look like a treehouse or another amusing structure, making them a great choice for kids who love spending time outside. Some of our bunk and loft beds include a slide for an additional touch of excitement.
Extra Storage
Many bunk and loft beds have additional storage to ensure that children's rooms are tidy. These beds make use of vertical space to store clothing, books, toys and more without taking up valuable floor space. These beds can be used with both traditional and modern bedroom styles. Pottery Barn Kids has a wide selection of twin beds that are perfect for the room of your child and their requirements.
A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an an easy method to add storage space to your child's bunk bed. It uses two spacious drawers for clothing and shoes, bedtime essentials and other items. The drawers are mounted on casters that are unidirectional that make it simple for children to open and close them. This is an excellent option for kids who share a room. It can help keep each other's belongings away from one another.
This Maxtrix loft bed comes with a built-in desk and hutch for a functional study nook. The solid wood desk can be pulled out from under the bed and folded back into the bed when not in use. This creates more room in the bedroom for play. This is a great option for kids who love to play with computers or create all day.
If it's time for bed the bunk at the bottom of this Maxtrix can be transformed into a comfy sofa. This is a great choice for kids who like to invite friends to sleepovers or parents who want to make space in their guest room. This twin over futon is also a great choice for kids younger than the age of transitioning from cribs to beds that are regular.

Fun Slide
