(Image: https://cdn.freshstore.cloud/offer/images/476/169/panana-metal-bunk-bed-splits-into-two-3ft-single-beds-black-colour-black-169.jpg)Bunk beds for kids are a great option to save money while maximizing space. Find beds with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to prevent gaps or spaces in which children may become stuck or entangled.
Another thing to consider is how the bed can be accessible: bunks typically have stairs or ladders, with angled ladders taking less space than traditional vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal way to make the most of a tiny space. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or the most compact room in your home, bunks for kids can help you save floor space, without losing any style or comfort. Most bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your children can share a bed, while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent choice, particularly if the bottom bunk will be used as a playroom or office during the day.
The majority of bunk beds have an escalator or ladder built into the frame. For safety reasons the ladder's height should be no higher than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This will prevent bumps on heads and to ensure that the kid sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high.
You should consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs If you want your child's bedroom furniture to appear stylish. Not only will this add an extra stylish touch to the room of your child, but it also offers ample storage space for each book, toy, and other things they might require to store away.
Some bunks also have the ability to expand from a standard bed into an actual futon. This lets your children make use of the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night for an incredibly comfortable bed. This type of bunk is perfect when you have a room and your children are old enough to manage the extra sleeping surface.
If you don't have the space to accommodate a traditional bunk bed, think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This leaves space for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while in their beds. This can help them stay focused and instil good habits during study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are perfect for kids who want to sleep separately but don't have enough room to have two bedrooms. Many of our bunk beds have a ladder that makes it simple for children to climb up to the top bed. 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 usually happens when they reach six years old.
Many parents are enticed by the straight ladders that are found on bunk beds, but we suggest angle ladders to improve security and ease of use. These ladders are easier to grip and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, kids simply place their feet on each rung one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. For added security, you should consider a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps and hand hole cutouts that make it easier for children to hold on to as they climb.
If you are looking for an all-time solution there are a myriad of types of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of a bunk bed. They have an edging that is placed around the stairs to ensure safety and also more treads to prevent accidents and falls. You can choose a set with built-in drawers to give it an appealing appearance. This is a great way to keep your child's bedroom clean and organized.
A loft bed without an attached ladder to the bottom bunk is another way to save space. This gives more space for kids to play in and sleep on. These bunk beds and lofts often resemble a fun treehouse, making them an ideal choice for kids who enjoy playing outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds include a slide for an additional spark of excitement.
Extra Storage

These beds make use of vertical space to store clothing, books, toys and more, without taking up valuable floor space. These beds work well with both traditional and modern bedroom styles.
