15 Gifts For The Kids Bunk Bed Lover In Your Life
Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for children are a great choice to save money while maximizing space. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or spaces that children might be trapped or entangled.
The way the bed is accessible is also crucial. Bunk beds are generally accessed via stairs or ladders and angled ladders take up less space than standard vertical ladders.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal solution to maximize a small space. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or even the smallest room in your home, bunk beds for kids will help you save floor space, without giving up any comfort or style. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen configurations so your kids can sleep side by side while still having their own space. A bunk bed for three is a great option, especially in the event that you plan to use the bottom bunk for a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds have a ladder or staircase built into the frame. The ladder's height shouldn't exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling due to safety concerns. This will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk does not sleep too high.
If you're looking to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style look into a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This will not only add a stylish touch to your child's bedroom but also provide ample storage space for all the toys, books and other items they might require.
Some bunks also have the possibility of expanding from a standard bed to the futon. This lets your kids use the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day and then slide out the top futon to create an ideal sleeping space at night. This type of bunk bed is perfect if you have enough space and your kids are old enough to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If wooden bunk beds 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 the room. This makes room for other furniture such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, which means that your kids can do their homework while still in their beds. This will help them stay focused during the study period and helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are perfect for kids who want to be able to sleep independently but don't have enough space to create two separate bedrooms. Many of our bunk beds have a ladder that makes it simple for children to climb to the top bed. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bunk bed which could be dangerous. Kids should only attempt to climb onto the top bunk if they are mature enough to climb safely, which usually happens when they reach six years old.
While many parents are tempted to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we recommend selecting beds that have angled ladders for more security and ease of use. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience, and they're also easier to grasp. To climb, kids put their feet on the rungs in a sequence and move up until they reach top bunk. Consider a ladder that has anti-slip grooves as well as handhole cutouts to make it easier for children to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If you are looking for an option that is permanent There are a variety of styles of stairways that can be permanently mounted to the frame of a bunk bed. They have a railing around the staircase to ensure safety. They also have a wider tread to prevent slipping and falling. For a more stylish look, you can choose the stairs that have built-in storage drawers, which are a great way to keep your kids' rooms organized and neat.
Another option to save space is to choose loft beds that don't connect to the bottom bunk with any ladder and leaves plenty of room underneath for children to play or sleep. The loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, making them an ideal choice for children who love spending time outside. Some of our bunk and loft beds have an added slide that can add a spark of excitement.
Extra Storage
A variety of loft beds and bunk beds also have storage options for kids to keep their rooms tidy and clean. These beds can be used to store clothes, books toys, and other items vertically, thereby saving floor space. These beds also work well in modern and traditional bedroom designs. Browse the collection of twin over full bunk beds at Pottery Barn Kids to find the bed that best suits your child's needs and style of their bedroom.
