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. Look for models with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that prevent gaps or spaces where children could be trapped or entangled.
Another thing to consider is how the bed can be accessible: bunks typically have stairs or ladders, with angled ladders taking less space than traditional vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are an excellent option to maximize space in a small space. Bunk beds for children are a great option to save space in a tiny room or attic. They also provide the comfort and style. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen designs so that your kids can share a bed while enjoying their own space. kids bunk beds with storage -person bunk bed is an excellent option, especially when the bunk on the bottom can be used as an office or playroom during the daytime.
Most bunks come with a ladder built into the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. For safety reasons it is recommended that the ladder's height should not be more than 5 to 6 feet from the ceiling. This is to prevent bumped heads while ensuring the younger child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high.
If you're looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture in style, consider choosing a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This not only provides an elegant touch to your kids' room however, it also offers ample storage space for each book, toy and knick-knack they may require to store away.
Some bunks also have the possibility of expanding from a standard bed to the futon. This allows your children to utilize the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then pull out the top futon to create an incredibly comfortable sleeping area at night. This type of bunk bed is great for those who have plenty of space and your children are old enough to manage the additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space for traditional bunks consider alternatives such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of your children'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 children can complete their homework while in their beds. This will help them stay focused during the study period and helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are the ideal solution for kids who want to be able to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space for two separate rooms. Most of our bunk beds come with a ladder that makes it easy for children to climb to the top bed. This is safer than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed, which can be risky. Children should only climb on the top bunk when they can do it safely. This is usually at least six years of age.
Many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds that have straight ladders, we would suggest selecting beds with angled ladders for added safety and convenience. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience, and they're also easier to grasp. To climb, kids put their feet on the rungs in a sequence and move up until they reach the top bunk. Consider a ladder that has anti-slip grooves as well as handhole cutouts to make it easier for children to hold onto the ladder while they climb.

The stairs are equipped with a railing around the staircase to offer additional security. They also feature a wider tread that stops people from sliding and falling.
