Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Find beds with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that prevent gaps or areas where children could get stuck or caught.

The way the bed is accessed is also important. Bunk beds are typically accessed via stairs or ladders and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ladders.

Space-Saving Design

Bunk beds are the perfect solution to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for kids are a great option to make space in a small room or attic. They also provide the comfort and style. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen configurations so your children can sleep side by side while still enjoying their personal space. A bunk bed for three is an excellent option, particularly in the event that you plan to use the lower bunk as a playroom or office during the day.

The majority of bunk beds have a ladder or staircase built into the frame. The ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling to ensure safety. This will prevent bumps on heads while ensuring the younger child sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high up.

Think about a wooden bunkbed that has stairs for your kids' bedroom furniture to look stylish. This will not only add a fashionable touch to your child's bedroom but also provide ample storage space for all the books, toys and other items they might require.

Some bunks offer the ability to convert from a standard bed into an actual futon. This lets your kids utilize the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day and then pull out the top futon to make an incredibly comfortable sleeping area at night. This kind of bunk bed is great when you have enough space and your children are old enough to manage the extra sleeping space.

If you don't have the space for the traditional bunk consider alternatives 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 still in their bed. This will help them stay focused during their study time and helps them develop good habits.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds are ideal for children who wish to sleep separately but don't have the space for two separate bedrooms. A lot of our bunk beds come with a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb up the top of the bed. This is safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which could be risky. Kids should only climb the top bunk when they are able to safely climb it. This is usually at least six years of age.

Many parents are attracted by straight ladders on bunk beds, but we suggest angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders offer a smoother climbing experience and are also easier to grip. To climb up, kids simply set their feet on each rung one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. To ensure safety, choose a ladder with grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand holes that make it easier for kids to hold on to when they climb.

If you're looking for a more 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 ensure safety. They also feature a wider tread that prevents slipping and falling. You can select an option with built-in drawers for a more decorative appearance. This is a great choice to keep your child's bedroom organized and tidy.

A loft bed without an attached ladder to the bunk below is another method of reducing space. This gives more space for kids to play and sleep under. These loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, making them an ideal choice for children who love being in the outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds have a slide that can be added for an extra touch of fun.

Extra Storage

Many loft and bunk bed options offer additional storage to aid children in keeping their rooms neat. They can store books, clothes toys, books, and more vertically, which saves valuable floor space. These beds work well with both traditional and modern bedroom styles. Browse the collection of full and twin bunk beds at Pottery Barn Kids to find the perfect bed for your child's needs and the style of their bedroom.

The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers is a great option to add additional storage to your child's bunk beds. It has two large drawers that can be used to store shoes, clothes, bedtime necessities, and other items. The drawers are positioned on casters unidirectional making it easy for children to open and close them. This is a great option for kids who share a room, as it allows them to keep one another's belongings out of reach.

This Maxtrix loft bed includes a built-in desk and the hutch for a useful study nook. The solid wood desk for kids easily pulls out from underneath the bed, and folds up when it is not in use, leaving the space for play. This is a great solution for kids that like to use the computer or craft all day.

When it's time to go to bed, the bottom bunk of this Maxtrix can be turned into a comfortable sofa. This is a great option for kids who like to invite friends to sleepovers, or for parents who want to make space in their guest room. This twin over futon is also a great option for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds that are regular.

They are available in different designs, finishes, and configurations. There are also options that include a storage trundle as well as a ladders for guests to sleep over which allows you to accommodate the changing requirements of a family in the space of a single bedroom.

Fun Slide

A slide can boost the excitement of a kid's bunk bed. The excitement of the children rushing down the top bunk encourages imaginative play and activity which makes it easier for them to fall asleep at the end of the night.

Bunk beds that slide are a great option for families with growing children and shared rooms. Kids can climb the ladder and then slide down the slide. This will bring hours of fun into their rooms.

Our unique loft and bunk bed models with slide are available in twin-over-full size which means they can be a perfect fit in most bedrooms, and can be divided to make two beds of standard size at a later time. The bunk bed frame is available in a natural finish, however, it can be ordered with a White or Chestnut finish.

Our bunk beds that have slides include the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. This can be connected either to the side of the ladder, or the front, depending on the dimensions of the room. The slide can extend up to 190 cm, depending on the height of the frame. A 70-cm exit opening is required.

Pick a bunk bed for your kids and add a slide for the ultimate play and sleep combination! You can further customize your children's bunk by adding optional bottom play curtains to create a fun castle-like fort and trundle storage drawers for additional sleeping space when you have guests staying overnight.
