Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space while saving money on separate rooms. Look for models that have solid foundations and mattress supports to prevent gaps or areas where children can become trapped or entangled.
Another consideration is how the bed is accessed: bunks usually feature ladders or stairs with angled ladders taking less space than traditional vertical ones.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds can be the ideal option to maximize space in a small space. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or even the small space in your home, bunk beds for kids can help you reduce floor space without losing any style or comfort. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen designs so that your kids can share a bed while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent option, particularly when the bunk on the bottom can be used as a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds come with an escalator or ladder built into the frame. To ensure safety, the height of the ladder should be no higher than 5 to 6 feet from the ceiling. This will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk does not sleep too high.
Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs for your kids' bedroom furniture to look stylish. This will not only add a stylish design to your child's room, but also provide ample storage space for all the toys, books and other items they might require.
Some bunks can also be expanded from a bed to a futon. This allows your children to use the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then pull out the top futon to create an ideal sleeping space at night. This kind of bunk is perfect if you have the room and your kids are old enough to handle the extra sleeping space.
If you don't have enough space for the traditional bunk you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are placed in the corner of the room. This makes room for other furniture, like dressers or shelves. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, which means that your kids can do their homework while in bed. This will help them stay focused during the study period and promotes good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are a great solution for children who prefer 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 simple for children to climb up the top of the bed. This is safer than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed, which can be risky. Children should only climb on top bunks when they are old enough to do so safely, which typically happens when they reach six years old.
Many parents are tempted by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we suggest angled ladders to increase security and ease of use. These ladders offer a smoother climbing experience and are also more comfortable to hold. To climb up, kids simply put their feet on each step one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Think about a ladder that comes with anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to make it easier for youngsters to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If kids bunk beds are seeking a permanent solution There are a variety of types of stairs that can be fixed permanently to the frame of a bunk bed. The stairs have an edging that is placed around the staircase for additional safety, and they have a larger tread to prevent falls and slips. For a more stylish look, consider the stairs that have built-in storage drawers that are ideal for keeping your children's rooms tidy and neat.
Another method to reduce space is to choose an loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk by a ladder at all and leaves plenty of room underneath for kids to play or to sleep. These bunk beds and lofts typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them an excellent choice for children who love spending time in the outdoors. Some of our bunk beds and lofts come with a slide to add an extra element of fun.
Extra Storage
Many bunk and loft beds also have storage options to help kids keep their rooms neat and tidy. These beds can be used to store books, clothes toys, and other items vertically, which saves valuable floor space. These beds can be used with both traditional and modern bedroom styles.

The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers can be used to add additional storage to the bunk beds your child sleeps in. It comes with two drawers that can be used to store shoes, clothing as well as bedtime essentials and other items. The drawers are mounted on casters that are unidirectional that make it simple for kids to open and close them. This is a great option for kids who share rooms, since it helps to keep the belongings of one another out of reach.
This Maxtrix loft features a built-in desk and hutch that can be used to create an study area. The solid wood desk can be easily removed from under the bed, and folded back into the bed when not in use. This gives you more room in the bedroom to play. It's an ideal solution for kids who like to create all day long or use their computer for homework assignments.
The bottom bed on this Maxtrix bunk can be transformed into a comfortable sofa if it's not the time to sleep.

Fun Slide
A slide can boost the fun factor of a kids bunk bed. The excitement of kids racing down the top bunk is a great way to encourage imagination and play, making it easier to sleep at time of night.
Bunk beds that have slides are the perfect opportunity to mix play and sleep in the same space that is ideal for sharing rooms for kids and growing families. Kids can climb up the ladder, then slide down the slide. This can bring hours of fun into their space.
