Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Look for models that have sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to prevent gaps or spaces where children could become stuck or trapped.
The method by which the bed can be accessible is also crucial. Bunk beds are usually accessed via stairs or ladders, and angled ladders take less space than standard ladders that are vertical.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be an excellent way to maximize space in a small room. Bunk beds for kids are a great way to save space in a small room or attic. They also provide convenience and elegance. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin designs, which means your children 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 lower bunk as a playroom or office during the day.
Most bunk beds have a ladder or staircase built into the frame. For safety reasons it is recommended that the height of the ladder should be no higher than 5-6 feet from the ceiling. This will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't rest too high.
If you want to keep your kids' bedroom furniture stylish look into a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This will not only add a chic touch to your child's bedroom 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 utilize the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day and then pull out the top futon to create a comfortable sleeping area at night. This type of bunk is great if you have the room and your kids are old enough to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If you do not have enough space for a traditional bunk bed, look into a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of the room. This allows room for other furniture, like cabinets or shelves. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your kids can do their homework while still in their bed. This helps them stay focused during their study time and encourages good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are ideal for kids who want to be able to sleep independently but don't have enough room to create two separate bedrooms. Most of our beds come with a ladder to make it easier for children to reach the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which could be dangerous. Children should only climb the top bunk when they can safely climb it. This is usually at least six years of age.
Many parents are attracted by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we recommend angle ladders to improve safety and convenience. They provide a smoother climbing experience, and are also easier to grasp. To climb, kids simply set their feet on each step one at a time 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 hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we have many different styles of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. These stairs feature a railing that surrounds the staircase for additional safety and an extra wide tread to avoid falls and slips. For a more decorative appearance, you can opt for a set of stairs with built-in storage drawers. They are an excellent way to keep your kids' rooms organized and neat.
A loft bed that doesn't have an attached ladder to the bunk below is another option to reduce space. This gives more space for kids to play in and sleep under. Many of these loft and bunk beds are designed to look like a treehouse or another amusing structure, making them an ideal choice for children who love to spend time outdoors. Some of our bunk and loft beds include a slide that can add a spark of excitement.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk bed options offer additional storage to aid children in keeping their rooms tidy. These beds make use of vertical space to store clothing books, toys, books and more, without taking up valuable floor space. These beds can be used with both modern and traditional bedroom styles. Pottery Barn Kids has a wide selection of twin beds that will fit your child's room and their requirements.
A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an the perfect method to add storage space to your child's bunk bed. It has two large drawers that can be used to store shoes, clothing or bedtime necessities, among other items. The drawers are mounted on unidirectional casters that make it simple for children to open and close them. This is a great choice for children who share one room. It can help keep the belongings of each other from one another.
This Maxtrix loft features a built-in desk and hutch to create an area for study. The solid wood desk for children can easily be removed from under the bed and folds up when not in use, preserving space to play. This is a great solution for children who like to use the computer or create all day.
When it's time to sleep, the bottom bunk of this Maxtrix can be turned into a comfortable sofa. This is a great option for children who want to invite their friends over for sleepovers or for parents who want to make space in the guest room.

Fun Slide
The fun of a bunk bed for kids can be enhanced by adding slide. The excitement of kids rushing down the top bunk is a great way to encourage creative play and activities, making it easier to sleep at time of night.
Bunk beds with slide are a great option for growing families and shared rooms. Kids can race each other up the ladder and then take turns sliding down the slide to bring hours of fun to their space.

For rooms with limited space, our bunk beds with slides include the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower, which can be connected to either the side of the ladder or to the front of the bunk bed frame. Based on the assembly height, the slide protrudes approximately 190cm into the room, and an exit opening of 70 cm is required.
