The 10 Most Terrifying Things About Kids Bunk Bed

Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space while saving money on separate rooms. Find beds with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or spaces that children might become trapped or stuck.

The way the bed is accessed is also important. Bunk beds are typically accessed via stairs or ladders and angled ladders take less space than traditional vertical ladders.

Space-saving Design

Bunk beds can be the ideal option to maximize space in a small room. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or the most compact room in your home, bunk beds for kids help you save floor space, without losing any style or comfort. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your children can sleep side by side while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent choice, particularly in the event that the lower bunk will be used as an office or playroom during the daytime.

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 above the ceiling for safety reasons. This is to prevent bumped heads while making sure that the child who is sleeping on the top bunk isn't high.

If you're looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture looking chic look into a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. Not only will this add an extra stylish touch to your children's room, but it also offers ample storage space for every book, toy and things they might need to stow away.

Many parents are tempted by the straight ladders that are found on bunk beds, but we recommend angled ladders to increase the safety and ease of use. They provide a smoother climbing experience and are also easier to grip. To climb, kids put their feet on the rungs one at a time and then climb up until they reach the top bunk. For added safety, consider choosing a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps as well as hand holes that allow kids to hold on to while they climb.
