Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great choice to save money while maximizing space. Look for models that have sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to stop gaps or spaces where children can become trapped or entangled.
Another thing to consider is how the bed is accessible: bunks are usually equipped with ladders or stairs and angled ladders take up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the perfect solution to maximize a small space. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or the most compact room in your home, bunks for kids will help you save floor space without losing any style or comfort. The majority of bunk beds come with twin over full or twin over queen configurations so your kids can share a bed while still having their own space. A bunk bed for three is also an excellent option, particularly when you intend to use the bottom bunk for a playroom or office during the daytime.
Most bunks have an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling to ensure safety. 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 If you want your child's bedroom furniture to be elegant. This will not only add a fashionable accent to your child's bedroom and provide plenty of storage space for all the books, toys and knickknacks they may need.
Some bunks also have the ability to expand from a standard bed to an actual futon. This lets your children make use of the lower bed as a sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night to provide the perfect place to sleep. This type of bunk is ideal for rooms with a lot of space and your children are old enough to manage the extra sleeping space.

These beds are positioned in the corner of your child's room, leaving the space for other furniture like dressers or shelves.

Many parents are tempted by the straight ladders that are found on bunk beds, but we suggest angles to increase safety and convenience.

Consider a ladder that has handhole cutouts and anti-slip grooves to allow youngsters to hold onto the ladder as they climb.

The stairs are equipped with an edging around the staircase to provide additional safety. They also have a larger tread that stops people from sliding and falling.
