Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are an excellent way to maximize space while saving money on separate rooms. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or areas where children could become trapped or stuck.
The method by which the bed is accessed is also important. Bunk beds are typically accessed via stairs or ladders and angled ladders use less space than standard vertical ladders.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be an excellent way to maximize space in a tiny room. Whether you're looking to outfit an attic bedroom or even the most compact room in your home, bunks for kids will help you save floor space without giving up any comfort or style. The majority of bunk beds are twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your children can share a bed while still having their own space. A bunk bed for three is an excellent option, particularly in the event that you plan to use the lower bunk as an office or playroom during the day.
The majority of bunks have a ladder built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. The ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling to ensure safety. This will avoid head bumps and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't rest too high.
Think about a wooden bunkbed that has stairs if you want your children's bedroom furniture to be stylish. This will not only add a stylish design to your child's room and provide plenty of storage space for all the toys, books and other knickknacks that they might need.
Some bunks also have the ability to convert from a standard bed into the futon. This lets your kids use the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day and pull out the top futon at night for the perfect place to sleep. This kind of bunk is ideal when you have a room and your kids are old enough to manage the additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have enough space for the traditional bunk bed, look into a corner bunk or loft. These beds are positioned in the corner of your kids' room, which leaves the space for other kids' furniture like dressers or shelves. Some bunks also have beds with a desk connected, which makes it simple for your young ones to do homework while lying down in bed. This helps them remain focused during their study time and promotes 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 for two separate rooms. A majority of our beds feature a ladder to make it easier for kids to climb up the top bunk. This is safer than climbing the sides of the bunk bed, which can be risky. Children should only climb on the top bunk when they are able safely climb it. This usually happens at least six years of age.
Although many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds with straight ladders, we recommend opting for ones with angled ladders for added safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grasp and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, kids simply set their feet on each rung one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. For added safety, choose a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps and hand holes that allow kids to hold onto when they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we have various styles of stairs that can be fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. They have an edging that is placed around the stairs to ensure safety and a larger tread to prevent accidents and falls. For a more stylish appearance, you can opt for an stairwell with built-in storage drawers. They are ideal for keeping your kids' rooms organized and tidy.
Another option to save space is to select a loft bed that doesn't connect to the bottom bunk with an elevated ladder, which leaves plenty of space underneath for children to play or to sleep. These bunk beds and lofts typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them an excellent choice for kids who enjoy spending time outdoors. Some of our bunk beds and lofts have a slide that can be added to add an extra element of fun.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds also have storage options that can help children keep their rooms neat and tidy. These beds can store books, clothes toys, and other items vertically, which saves valuable floor space. These beds can also be used in traditional and modern bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a wide selection of twin over full beds that are perfect for your child's bedroom and requirements.
The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers is a great option as a storage solution to the bunk beds your child sleeps in. It comes with two drawers that can be used to store shoes, clothes as well as bedtime essentials and other items. The drawers have unidirectional casters that make it easy for children to open and shut them. This is a great choice for kids who live in a single room. It allows them to keep the belongings of each other from one another.
This Maxtrix loft bed also comes with a built-in desk as well as a hutch for a functional study area. The solid wood desk can be removed from under the bed and folded back into the bed when not being used. This creates more space in the bedroom to play. This is a great option for kids who love to work on their computer or do crafts all day long.
The bottom bed of this Maxtrix bunk can be turned into a comfortable sofa when it's time for sleeping. This is a great choice for kids who like to invite their friends to sleepovers or parents who wish to free up space in their guest room.

Fun Slide
A slide can enhance the fun factor of a kids bunk bed. The excitement of kids rushing down the top bunk encourages imagination and play which makes it easier to sleep at time of night.
Bunk beds with slide are a great option for families that are growing and sharing rooms. Kids can climb the ladder and then slide down the slide. This will bring hours of fun to their rooms.
Our unique loft and bunk bed models with slide are available in twin and full sizes so that they can be easily incorporated into most rooms. They can also be separated at a later date to create two standard beds. The bunk bed frame comes with a natural-looking finish, but it is also purchased with the option of a White or Chestnut finish.
Our bunk beds with slides include the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. This can be attached either to the side of the ladder or the front, depending on the size of the room. The slide can protrude up to 190 cm depending on the height of the assembly. A 70-cm exit opening is required.
