Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Kids bunk beds are an excellent way to maximize space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Choose beds that have solid foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or spaces where children can be trapped or entangled.

Another thing to consider is how the bed is accessible: bunks typically have staircases or ladders and angled ladders take less space than traditional vertical ones.

Space-saving Design

Bunk beds are a great way to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for children are a great way to make space in a tiny room or attic. They also provide the comfort and style. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your children can share a bed while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed can be an excellent option, especially when the bunk on the bottom will be used as an office or playroom during the day.

Most bunks have an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. For safety reasons it is recommended that the height of the ladder should be no higher than 5 to 6 feet from the ceiling. This is to avoid bumped heads and to ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk isn't high up.

If you're looking to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style think about a wooden bunk bed with stairs. Not only will this add an extra stylish touch to your kids' room but it also provides ample storage space for each book, toy and items they'll require to put away.

Some bunks can be converted 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 for an ideal sleeping space at night. This type of bunk bed is great for those who have plenty of space and your children are old enough to be able to handle the additional sleeping surface.

If you don't 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 such as shelves or dressers. Additionally, some bunks have beds that have desks that are attached, making it simple for your little ones to do homework while lying down in the bed. This will help them focus and develop good habits during study time.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds are the ideal solution for kids who want to sleep in separate rooms, but don't have enough space to have two separate rooms. Many of our bunk beds are equipped with a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb to the top of the bed. This is more secure than climbing the sides of the bunk bed, which could be dangerous. Kids should only attempt to climb on top bunks when they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which typically happens when they reach six years old.

Many parents are tempted by the straight ladders on bunk beds, but we suggest angles to increase security and ease of use. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience, and are also easier to grip. To climb, children simply place their feet on each rung 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 as well as handhole cutouts to allow children to grip the ladder while they climb.

If you're looking for a permanent solution, we have various styles of stairs that can be fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs are equipped with an edging around the staircase to ensure safety. They also have a wider tread that prevents slipping and falling. You can pick a set with built-in drawers to give it a more decorative appearance. This is a great option to keep your child's bedroom clean and organized.

A loft bed that doesn't have an attached ladder to the bunk below is another option to reduce space. This leaves more room for children to play and sleep underneath. Many of these loft and bunk beds are designed to be reminiscent of a treehouse or some other fun structure, so they're the ideal option for children who love spending time outside. Some of our loft and bunk beds also feature an optional slide for an extra touch of fun.

Extra Storage

Many loft and bunk beds offer additional storage options that can help children keep their rooms tidy and neat. These beds can be used to store books, clothes, toys, and more vertically, saving valuable floor space. These beds work well with both modern and traditional bedroom styles. Explore the assortment of full and twin bunk beds at Pottery Barn Kids to find a bed that fits your child's needs and the design of their room.

A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an easy method to add storage space to your child's bunk bed.

This is an excellent option for children who share a room, as it helps to keep the belongings of one another out of each other's reach.

This Maxtrix loft bed comes with a built-in desk and the hutch for a useful study area.

Fun Slide

A slide can increase the enjoyment of a children's bunk bed. The excitement of the children racing down the top bunk encourages creative play and activities which makes it easier for them to fall asleep at the end of the night.

Bunk beds with slide are a great option for families that are growing and sharing rooms. Kids can race each other up the ladder, and then take turns sliding down the slide and bring hours of fun to their rooms.

For rooms with a 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 the front of the bunk bed frame. The slide can extend up to 190 cm, depending on the assembly height. A 70 cm exit opening is required.
