Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Bunk beds for children are a great option to save money while maximizing space. Find beds with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to stop gaps or spaces in which children could become stuck or entangled.

Another thing to consider is how the bed can be accessed: bunks usually feature ladders or stairs, with angled ladders taking less space than traditional vertical ones.

Space-Saving Design

Bunk beds are a great way to make the most of a tiny space. Bunk beds for children are a great option to make space in a small room or attic. They also offer convenience and elegance. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your kids can share a bed while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed can be an excellent option, particularly when the bunk on the bottom is used as a playroom or office during the day.

The majority of bunks have ladders built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. For safety reasons the ladder’s height should be no higher than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk doesn’t sleep too high.

If you’re looking to keep your kids’ bedroom furniture looking chic look into a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This will not only add a chic accent to your child’s bedroom, but also provide ample storage space for all the toys, books and knickknacks they may need.

Some bunks also offer the ability to convert from a standard bed to a futon. This lets your kids use the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day, and then pull out the top futon to make a comfortable sleeping area at night. This type of bunk is great when you have a room and your children are old enough to manage the additional sleeping surface.

If you don’t have enough space for the traditional bunk consider alternatives such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of your kids room, leaving the remaining space for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your kids can do their homework while still in their bed. This will help them focus and develop good habits during their study time.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds can be the ideal solution for kids who prefer to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space to have two separate rooms. A majority of our beds feature a ladder that makes it easier for kids to access the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which can be risky. Children should only climb on top bunks when they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which usually happens when they are at least six years old.

Many parents are enticed to buy bunk bed bunk beds with straight ladders, we recommend opting for ones with angled ladders for added security and ease of use. These ladders are easier to grip and offer a smoother experience. To climb, children simply put their feet on each step one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. For even more security, you should consider a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps and hand hole cutouts that allow kids to hold on to as they climb.

If you’re looking for a permanent solution, we have many different styles of stairs that can be permanently fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. These stairs have a railing that runs around the stairs to offer additional security. They also have a larger tread to prevent slipping and falling. To give a more attractive look, you can choose an stairwell with built-in storage drawers, which are ideal for keeping your kids’ rooms organized and neat.

A loft bed without a ladder connecting it to the bottom bunk is another method of reducing space. This allows more space for kids to play and sleep underneath. These bunk beds and lofts typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them an ideal choice for children who love being outside. Some of our loft and bunk beds have a slide that can be added to add a touch of fun.

Extra Storage

A variety of loft and bunk beds offer additional storage to aid children in keeping their rooms tidy. These beds use vertical space to store clothing, books, toys and much more without taking up valuable floor space. These beds can be used with both modern and traditional bedroom styles. Browse the collection of full and twin bunk beds at Pottery Barn Kids to find a bed that fits your child’s needs and the style of their room.

A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an an easy option to add more storage to your kiddo’s bunk bed. It has two large drawers that can be used to store shoes, clothing, bedtime necessities, and other items. The drawers are equipped with casters that are unidirectional which make it simple for children to open and shut them. This is a great option for kids who share rooms, since it can help keep each other’s possessions out of each other’s reach.

This Maxtrix loft comes with a built in desk and hutch, which can be used as a study nook. The solid wooden desk can be easily removed from underneath the bed, and then folded back into the bed when not being used. This gives you more space in the bedroom to play. It’s a smart solution for children who love to make crafts all day long or use computers for homework assignments.

When it’s time to sleep, the bottom bunk of this Maxtrix can be converted into a comfy sofa. This is a great choice for kids who love to invite friends to sleepovers, or for parents who wish to free up space in their guest room.

There are also options which include a storage ladder or a trundle to accommodate guests staying over which makes it simple to accommodate a family’s changing needs in a single room.

Fun Slide

The fun of bunk beds for kids can be enhanced with the addition of a slide. The excitement of kids running down the top bunk encourages imaginative play and activity, making it easier to sleep at night.

Bunk beds with slides are a great way to combine sleep and play in one space that is ideal for sharing kid’s rooms and growing families. Kids can climb the ladder and then slide down the slide. This will provide hours of fun in their rooms.

Our unique loft and bunk bed models with slide come in twin and full sizes so that they can be easily incorporated into most rooms. They can also be separated later to create two standard beds. The bunk bed frame comes with a natural-looking finish, but it is also ordered with the option of a White or Chestnut finish.

Our bunk beds with slides come with the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. This can be attached either to the side of the ladder or to the front, based on the size of the room. Based on the assembly height, the slide protrudes about 190 cm into the room. An exit opening of 70 cm is required.
