17 Reasons To Not Avoid 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. Choose models with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to prevent gaps or spaces where children could become stuck or entangled.

Another factor to consider is how the bed is accessible: bunks typically have stairs or ladders and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ones.

Space-Saving Design

Bunk beds are a great solution to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for children are a great option to make space in a tiny room or attic. They also provide convenience and elegance. The majority of bunk beds are twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your children can share a bed while having their own space. A bunk bed for three is an excellent option, particularly in the event that you plan to use the bottom bunk for a playroom or office 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 will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk does not sleep too high.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Most of our beds come with an incline to make it easier for children to access the top bunk. This is more secure than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed which could be dangerous.

These ladders offer a smoother climbing experience, and are also more comfortable to hold. To climb, children simply place their feet on each step one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Look for a ladder with handhole cutouts and anti-slip grooves to allow children to grip the ladder while they climb.

If you’re looking for an all-time solution there are a myriad of designs of stairways that could be permanently attached to the frame of bunk beds. The stairs have a railing that encircles the stairs to ensure safety and also an extra wide tread to avoid slips and falls. For a more decorative look, consider an stairwell with built-in storage drawers that are ideal for keeping your kids’ rooms organized and tidy.
