Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space and save money on separate rooms. Choose models with sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to avoid gaps or spaces where children may become stuck or trapped.
The method by which the bed is accessible is also crucial. Bunk beds are usually accessed via stairs or ladders and angled ladders use less space than standard ladders that are vertical.
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 help you save floor space, without losing any style or comfort. The majority of bunk beds come in 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 also an excellent option, particularly when you intend to use the bottom bunk for a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds come with a ladder or staircase built into the frame. For safety reasons, the ladder's height should not be more than 5-6 feet from the ceiling. This will avoid head bumps and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk doesn't sleep too high.
If you want to keep your kids' bedroom furniture stylish think about an oak bunk bed with stairs. This not only provides an extra stylish touch to the room of your child however, it also offers ample storage space for each book, toy and knick-knack they may require to store away.
Some bunks also have the ability to convert from a standard bed to the 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 for a comfortable place to sleep. This type of bunk bed is great when you have enough space and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping space.
If you don't have the space for a traditional bunk you can consider options such as a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This makes room for other furniture such as shelves or dressers. Some bunks also have beds with desks attached, which makes it simple for your young children to complete their homework while lying in their bed. This helps them stay focused during the study period and helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be a great solution for children who want to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space to have two separate rooms. Many of our beds have 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. Children should only climb onto the top bunk only if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which usually happens when they are at least six years old.
Although many parents are enticed to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we suggest selecting beds that have angled ladders for more safety and convenience. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience and are also easier to grasp. To climb, kids simply place their feet on each rung one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Think about a ladder that comes with anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to allow children to grip the ladder while they climb.
If you're seeking an option that is permanent, there are many different designs of stairways that could be permanently attached to the frame of bunk beds. They have a railing that encircles the stairs to ensure safety, and they have a larger tread to prevent slips and falls. For a more stylish appearance, you can opt for the stairs that have built-in storage drawers that are an excellent way to keep your children's rooms tidy and tidy.
A loft bed that doesn't have a ladder that connects it to the bunk below is another way to save space. This leaves more room for children to play and sleep underneath. These loft and bunk beds typically resemble a treehouse, which makes them an excellent choice for kids who enjoy playing outdoors. Some of our bunk and loft beds have an added slide for an additional touch of excitement.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds provide additional storage options for kids to keep their rooms neat and tidy. They can store books, clothes toys, and other items vertically, saving valuable floor space. They also work in traditional and contemporary bedroom designs.

Fun Slide
A slide can enhance the fun factor of a kids bunk bed. The excitement of children rushing down the top bunk is a great way to encourage imaginative play and activity which makes it easier for them to fall asleep at night.
Bunk beds that slide are a great option for families that are growing and sharing rooms. Kids can race one another up the ladder and then slide down the slide to bring hours of fun to their rooms.

For rooms with limited space our bunk beds with slides include the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower, which can be connected to either the back of the ladder, or the front of the bunk bed frame. The slide can protrude up to 190 cm depending on the height of the assembly. A 70-cm exit opening is required.
