Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Kids bunk beds are an excellent way to maximize space and save money on separate rooms. Find beds with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to avoid gaps or spaces where children can become trapped or trapped.

Another thing to consider is how the bed can be accessible: bunks typically have stairs or ladders, with angled ladders taking up less room than standard vertical ones.

Space-saving Design

Bunk beds can be the ideal way to maximize space in a small space. Bunk beds for children are a great way to make space in a tiny room or attic. They also provide convenience and elegance. Most bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your kids can share a bed, while having their own space. A bunk bed for three is 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 an escalator or ladder built into the frame. The ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling due to safety concerns. This will avoid head bumps 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 think about a wooden bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a fashionable accent to your child's bedroom but also provide ample storage space for all the books, toys and knickknacks they may need.

Some bunks also offer the ability to expand from a standard bed into an actual futon. This lets your kids use the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night for the perfect place to sleep. This type of bunk is ideal for rooms with a lot of space and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping space.

If you don't have the space for the traditional bunk you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are placed across the corner of your kids rooms, which leave the room for other kids' furniture such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while in their bed. This can help them remain focused and help them develop good habits during their study time.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds are ideal for kids who want to be able to sleep independently but don't have enough space to create two separate bedrooms. Most of our bunk beds have a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb to the top of the bed. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which can be dangerous. Kids should only attempt to climb onto the top bunk when they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which typically happens when they reach six years old.

Many parents are attracted by the straight ladders that are found on bunk beds, but we recommend angled ladders to increase the safety and ease of use. These ladders are more comfortable to hold and provide a more pleasant experience. To climb, kids place their feet on the rungs in a sequence and then move upwards until they reach top bunk. For added safety, choose a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps as well as hand holes that make it easier for children to hold on to as they climb.

If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we offer many different styles of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. They have an edging around the staircase to ensure safety. They also have a larger tread that stops people from sliding and falling. For a more decorative look, consider an stairwell with built-in storage drawers. They are ideal for keeping your children's rooms tidy and neat.

Another way to save space is by opting for a loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk by any ladder and leaves plenty of room underneath for children to play or to sleep. These bunk beds and lofts often resemble a fun treehouse, making them a great option for children who love being outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds have a slide that can be added for an extra touch of fun.

Extra Storage

A variety of loft and bunk bed options offer additional storage space to help children keep their rooms clean. These beds use vertical space to store clothing books, toys, books and more, without taking up floor space. These beds can also be used in traditional and modern bedroom designs. Explore the selection of full and twin bunk beds at Pottery Barn Kids to find the bed that best suits your child's needs and the style of their room.

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 or bedtime necessities, among other things. The drawers are equipped with casters that are unidirectional that make it easy for children to open and close them. This is a great option for children sharing a room, as it can help keep the belongings of one another away from each other's reach.

This Maxtrix loft bed also comes with an integrated desk and an hutch to create a practical study nook. The solid wood desk for children is easily removed from underneath the bed, and folds up when not in use, thus preserving space to play. It's an ideal solution for children who love to create all day long or use the computer to complete homework assignments.

The bottom bed on this Maxtrix bunk can be converted into a cozy sofa when it's time to go to sleeping. This is a great choice for kids who like to invite friends over for sleepovers or for parents who wish to free up space in their guest room. This twin futon is also a great option for kids younger than the age of transitioning from cribs to beds that are regular.

Bunk or loft beds are ideal for children who love to climb, and are full of energy. These beds are a great alternative to traditional bedroom furniture and are available in various designs, finishes and configurations. There are also options that include a ladder for storage or a trundle to accommodate guests who want to sleep over making it easy to accommodate a family's changing needs in a single room.

Fun Slide

The fun of a bunk bed for kids can be enhanced even further by the addition of slides. The excitement of children rushing down the top bunk is a great way to encourage imagination and play, making it easier to sleep at night.

Bunk beds with slides 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 and bring hours of entertainment to their rooms.

Our unique bunk and loft bed models with slide are available in twin-over-full size which means they can be a perfect fit in the majority of bedrooms, and can be split to create two beds of standard size at a later time. This bunk bed frame is constructed out of birch solid and has a natural finish as shown. It can also be ordered in White or Chestnut.

Our bunk beds that have slides include the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. This can be attached either to the side of the ladder, or in front, based on the room size. Based on the assembly height the slide extends about 190 cm into the room, and an exit opening of 70cm is required.

Choose the bunk beds for your kids and include a slide to make the ultimate sleep-and-play combination! You can customize your kids bunk bed with optional bottom play curtain to create a fun fort-like castle and drawers for trundles that can provide additional sleeping space for overnight guests.
