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 to avoid gaps or areas where children may become stuck or entangled.
The method by which the bed can be accessed is also important. Bunk beds are usually accessed via stairs or ladders, and angled ladders take less space than traditional ladders that are vertical.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are the perfect solution to maximize a small space. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or the most compact room in your home, bunks for kids can help you save floor space, without sacrificing any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your kids can share a bed, while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent choice, particularly when the bunk on the bottom will be used as a playroom or office during the day.
Most bunk beds have an escalator or ladder built into the frame. For safety reasons it is recommended that the ladder's height should be no higher than 5 to 6 feet from the ceiling. This will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't sleep too high.
Think about a wooden bunkbed that has stairs for your kids' bedroom furniture to look elegant. This will not only add a stylish design to your child's room but also provide ample storage space for all the books, toys and other items they might require.
Some bunks can be converted to a futon. This lets your kids make use of the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then slide out the top futon to make a comfortable sleeping area at night. This type of bunk is ideal if you have the room and your children are old enough to manage the extra sleeping space.
If you don't have the space for traditional bunks consider alternatives such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are placed across the corner of your children's rooms, which leave the room for other kids' furniture such as shelves or dressers. Additionally, some bunks have beds with a desk that are attached, making it easy for your little kids to work while lying in the bed. This will help them stay focused during study time and helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be a great solution for children 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 safer than climbing the sides of the bunk bed which can 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 enticed to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we recommend selecting beds with angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders are more comfortable to hold and offer a smoother experience. To climb up, kids simply put their feet on each step one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Consider a ladder that has anti-slip grooves as well as handhole cutouts to make it easier for youngsters to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If you're looking for a permanent solution, we provide many different styles of stairs that can be fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. They have an edging that is placed around the stairs to ensure safety and an extra wide tread to avoid slips and falls. For a more stylish appearance, you can opt for the stairs that have built-in storage drawers that are ideal for keeping your children's rooms organized and neat.
A loft bed without a ladder that connects it to the bottom bunk is another option to reduce space. This gives more space for kids to play in and sleep underneath. The loft and bunk beds often resemble a fun treehouse, which makes them a great option for kids who enjoy being outside. Some of our bunk beds and lofts come with a slide to add an extra element of fun.
Extra Storage
Many bunk and loft beds offer additional storage options to ensure that children's rooms are clean. These beds can be used to store books, clothes, toys, and more vertically, thereby saving floor space. These beds work well with both traditional and modern bedroom styles. Pottery Barn Kids has a wide selection of twin over full beds that can be adapted to the room of your child and their requirements.
The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers is a great option to provide additional storage space to your child's bunk beds. It features two large drawers for clothing and shoes, bedtime essentials, and other items. The drawers are positioned on casters unidirectional making it easy for kids to open and close them. This is a great choice for kids who share a room. It can help keep the belongings of each other from each other.
This Maxtrix loft bed comes with an integrated desk and the hutch for a useful study nook. The solid wood desk can be easily pulled out from under the bed, and then folded back up when it is not being used. This gives you more space in the bedroom to play.

The bottom bed of this Maxtrix bunk can be turned into a comfy sofa when it's not time for sleeping.

Fun Slide
The fun of a bunk bed for kids can be enhanced even further by the addition of slides. Kids love jumping down the slide from the top bunk. The excitement encourages them to engage in imaginative play, making it much easier to get up and ready for the night's sleep.
Bunk beds that slide are a great option for growing families and shared rooms. Kids can climb up the ladder, then slide down the slide. This can provide hours of fun in their rooms.
