Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for children are a great choice to save money while maximizing space. Look for models with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or spaces where children could be trapped or entangled.
The way the bed is accessed is also important. Bunk beds are typically accessed via stairs or ladders and angled ladders use up less space than standard ladders that are vertical.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal solution to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for children are a great option to free up space in a small room or attic. They also offer 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 having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent option, particularly when the bunk on the bottom is used as a playroom or office during the daytime.
Most bunk beds have an entryway or ladder built into the frame. The ladder's height shouldn't exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling for safety reasons. This is to avoid bumped heads and to ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high up.
If you want to keep your children's bedroom furniture stylish look into a wooden bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a fashionable design to your child's room and provide plenty of storage space for all the toys, books and knickknacks they may need.
Some bunks can be converted from a bed to a futon. This allows your kids to make use of the lower bed as a sofa during the day and pull out the top futon in the evening for the perfect place to sleep. This kind of bunk is great if you have the room and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping space.
If you don't have enough space for traditional bunks consider alternatives such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This allows room for other furniture like cabinets or shelves. Alternatively, some bunks feature beds with desks connected, which makes it easy for your little children to complete their homework while lying in bed. This can help them remain focused and help them develop good habits for studying.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are ideal for kids who want to be able to sleep independently but don't have the space to create two separate bedrooms. Most of our beds come with a ladder to make it easier for children to reach the top bunk. This is safer than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed which could be dangerous. Kids should only attempt to climb onto the top bunk only if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which is usually when they reach six years old.
Many parents are enticed 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 they're also more comfortable to hold. To climb, children 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, consider choosing a ladder that has grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand hole cutouts that make it easier for children to hold onto when they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we offer several different types of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs are equipped with an edging around the staircase to provide additional safety. They also have a wider tread that stops people from sliding and falling. To give a more attractive appearance, you can opt for a set of stairs with built-in storage drawers, which are an excellent way to keep your children's rooms tidy and tidy.
A loft bed that doesn't have an attached ladder to the bunk below is another method of reducing space. This allows more space for children to play and sleep underneath. A lot of these loft and bunk beds are designed to look like a treehouse or another fun structure, so they're the ideal option for children who love to spend time outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds have a slide that can be added for an extra touch of fun.
Extra Storage
Many bunk and loft beds offer additional storage options to help children keep their rooms neat. These beds use vertical space to store clothes, books, toys and more, without taking up floor space. These beds can be used with both traditional and modern bedroom styles. Pottery Barn Kids has a numerous twin beds that can be adapted to your child's room and their requirements.
The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers can be used to add additional storage to your child's bunk beds. It uses two spacious drawers to store clothing and shoes, bedtime essentials, and other things. The drawers are positioned on casters unidirectional, which make it easy for kids to open and close them. This is a great choice for children who share one room. It helps keep the belongings of each other from each other.
This Maxtrix loft comes with a built in desk and hutch that can be used to create a study nook. The solid wood desk for kids can easily be removed from under the bed and folds up when it is not in use, leaving the space for play. It's an ideal solution for kids who like to make crafts all day long or use the computer for homework assignments.
The bottom bed of this Maxtrix bunk can be converted into a comfortable sofa when it's not time for sleeping. This is a great choice for children who want to invite their friends to sleepovers, or for parents who want to save space in their guest room. This twin over futon is also a great choice for kids younger than the age of transitioning from cribs to regular beds.
Kids who love to climb and have lots of energy will appreciate the unique design and practicality of a bunk or loft bed. They are a fun alternative to traditional furniture for bedrooms. They come in many different designs, finishes, and configurations. There are also options that include a storage trundle and ladders for guests to sleep over and it is possible to accommodate the changing requirements of a family in the space of a single bedroom.
Fun Slide
A slide can boost the fun factor of a kids bunk bed. Children love to race down the slide from the top bunk, and the excitement encourages activity and imaginative play, making it much easier to get up and ready to go to sleeping at night.
Bunk beds with slides are a great option for growing families and shared rooms. Kids can climb up the ladder, then slide down the slide. This will bring hours of fun into their space.

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