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 eliminate gaps or areas where children could get stuck or caught.
Another thing to consider is how the bed can be accessible: bunks typically have staircases or ladders, with angled ladders taking less space than traditional vertical ones.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal way to make the most of a tiny space. Whether you're looking to outfit an attic bedroom or the smallest room in your home, bunk beds for kids will help you reduce floor space without losing any style or comfort. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your children can share a bed while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed can be an excellent option, particularly when the bunk on the bottom is used as an office or playroom during the day.
The majority of bunk beds come with an escalator or ladder built into the frame. For safety reasons, the height of the ladder should not exceed 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk does not sleep too high.
If you want to keep your children's bedroom furniture in style, consider choosing a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This will not only add an elegant touch to your children's room, but it also offers ample storage space for each book, toy or things they might need to stow away.
Some bunks can also be expanded from a bed to a futon. This allows your children to use the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day, and then pull out the top futon to make a comfortable sleeping area at night. This kind of bunk bed is great for those who have plenty of space and your kids are old enough to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If you don't have enough space for traditional bunks, look into options like a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of your child's rooms, which leave the remaining space for other kids' furniture such as shelves or dressers. Additionally, some bunks have beds with desks attached, which makes it simple for your young children to complete their homework while sitting up in the bed. This will help them focus and develop good habits during study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are perfect for kids who want to be able to sleep independently but don't have enough space to create two separate bedrooms. 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 up onto the top bunk when they are mature enough to climb safely, which typically happens when they are at least six years old.
Many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds that have straight ladders, we recommend opting for ones with angled ladders to increase security and ease of use. These ladders are more comfortable to hold and provide a more comfortable experience. 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. For added safety, consider choosing a ladder with grooved anti-slip steps and hand holes that allow kids to hold onto while they climb.
If you're looking for an all-time solution There are a variety of types of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of bunk beds. The stairs have a railing that surrounds the stairs to ensure safety and also more treads to prevent slips and falls. You can select an option with built-in drawers for an attractive appearance. This is a great way to keep your child's space neat and tidy.
A loft bed that doesn't have a ladder connecting it to the bunk below is another way to save space. This allows more space for kids to play and sleep underneath. Many of these bunk beds and lofts are designed to be reminiscent of a treehouse or some other amusing structure, making them an ideal choice for children who love to spend time outside. Some of our loft and bunk beds also feature an optional slide for an extra touch of fun.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk bed options offer additional storage space to ensure that children's rooms are tidy. These beds use vertical space to store clothes books, toys, and more, without taking up floor space. They also work in traditional and contemporary bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a wide selection of twin beds that can be adapted to the room of your child and their needs.
The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers is a great option to provide additional storage space to the bunk beds your child sleeps in. It has two large drawers that can be used to store clothes, shoes as well as bedtime essentials and other items. The drawers are equipped with casters that are unidirectional which make it simple for children to open and shut them. This is a great option for children who share one room. It helps keep their belongings separate from each other.
This Maxtrix loft bed also comes with a built-in desk as well as a the hutch for a useful study nook. The solid wooden desk can be easily removed from under the bed, and then folded back up when it is not being used. This gives you more room in the bedroom to play. This is a great solution for kids who love to use the computer or create all day.
When it's time to go to bed, the bottom bunk of this Maxtrix can be converted into a comfy sofa. This is a great option for children who want to invite their friends over for sleepovers or for parents who want to make space in their guest room. This twin-over-futon is also a great choice for kids younger than the age of transitioning from cribs to beds that are regular.

Fun Slide
The fun factor of bunk beds for children can be enhanced even further by adding slide. Children love to race down from the top bunk and the excitement encourages them to engage in imaginative play, making it easier to get up and ready to go to the night's sleep.
Bunk beds that have slides are a great way to combine sleep and play in one space, perfect for shared rooms for kids and growing families. Kids can climb the ladder and then slide down the slide. This can bring hours of fun to their room.

For rooms with a limited space, our bunk bed with slide options 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.
