Kids Bunk Bed – A Great Way to Maximize Space

Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space and save money on separate rooms. Choose beds that have solid foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or spaces where children could be trapped or entangled.

Another thing to consider is how the bed is accessed: bunks usually feature staircases or ladders and angled ladders take up less room than standard vertical ones.

Space-saving Design

Bunk beds are the ideal method to make the most of space in a small room. If you’re looking to furnish an attic bedroom or even the most compact room in your home, bunk beds for kids help you save floor space without sacrificing any comfort or style. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen configurations so your kids can share a bed while still enjoying their personal space. A three-person bunk bed can be an excellent choice, particularly in the event that the lower bunk is used as an office or playroom during the daytime.

The majority of bunk beds come with a ladder or staircase built into the frame. For safety reasons, the height of the ladder should be no higher than 5 to 6 feet from the ceiling. This will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk does not sleep too high.

Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs if you want your children’s bedroom furniture to appear stylish. This will not only add a chic design to your child’s room, but also provide ample storage space for all the toys, books and knickknacks they may need.

Some bunks offer the possibility of expanding from a standard bed into an actual futon. This lets your kids make use of the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night to provide an incredibly comfortable bed. This type of bunk bed is perfect for those who have plenty of space and your kids are old enough to handle the additional sleeping surface.

If you do not have enough space for a traditional bunk bed look into a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are placed in the corner of the room. This leaves space for other furniture, like dressers or shelves. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, which means that your children can complete their homework while in bed. This will help them stay focused during their study time and encourages good habits.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Bunk beds can be the ideal solution for kids who want to be able to sleep in separate rooms, but do not have the space to have two separate rooms. A majority of our beds feature a ladder that makes it easier for kids to reach the top bunk. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bed, which could be risky. Kids should only attempt to climb up onto the top bunk only if they are mature enough to climb safely, which is usually when they are at least six years old.

While many parents are tempted to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we suggest opting for ones that have angled ladders for more security and ease of use. These ladders are easier to grasp and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, kids put their feet on the rungs one at a time and move up until they reach the top bunk. Look for a ladder with anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to help children to hold onto the ladder while they climb.

If you’re looking for a permanent solution, we provide various styles of stairs that can be permanently fixed 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 to prevent slipping and falling. For a more decorative look, you can choose an stairwell with built-in storage drawers. They are an excellent way to keep your kids’ rooms organized and tidy.

A loft bed without a ladder that connects it to the bunk below is another method of reducing space. This allows more space for kids to play in and sleep underneath. These bunk beds and lofts typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them an excellent choice for kids who enjoy being outside. Some of our loft and bunk beds have an added slide to add an extra touch of excitement.

Extra Storage

Many loft and bunk beds offer additional storage options to ensure that children’s rooms are clean. These beds use vertical space to store clothing books, toys, and more, without taking up valuable floor space. These beds can be used with both traditional and modern bedroom styles.

A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an a simple option to add more storage space to your child’s bunk bed. It comes with two drawers that can be used to store shoes, clothes or bedtime necessities, among other things. The drawers have unidirectional casters which make it simple for children to open and shut them. This is a great choice for children who share the same space, as it helps to keep the belongings of one another out of each other’s reach.

This Maxtrix loft features a built-in desk and hutch, which can be used as an study area. The solid wood desk for kids easily pulls out from underneath the bed and folds back up when not in use, thus preserving space for play.

When it’s time to go to bed the bunk at the bottom of this Maxtrix can be turned into a comfy sofa.

Fun Slide

A slide can boost the fun factor of a kids bunk bed. The excitement of children racing down the top bunk is a great way to encourage imagination and play and makes it easier to sleep at time of night.

Bunk beds with slide are a great choice for growing families and shared rooms. Kids can climb up the ladder, then slide down the slide. This will bring hours of fun to their room.

For rooms with a limited space our bunk beds with slides include the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower, which can be connected to either the side of the ladder or to the front of the bunk bed frame. Based on the assembly height the slide extends about 190 cm into the room and an exit opening of 70cm is required.
