Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for children are a great option to save money and make the most of space. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or areas where children can be trapped or entangled.
Another thing to consider is how the bed is accessed: bunks usually feature stairs or ladders and angled ladders take less space than traditional vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be the ideal option to maximize space in a tiny room. Bunk beds for children are a great way to free up space in a small space or attic. They also offer comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds come with twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your children can share a bed while still enjoying their personal space. A bunk bed for three is also an ideal option, especially in the event that you plan to use the bottom bunk as a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of bunk beds come with an escalator or ladder built into the frame. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling due to safety concerns. This will prevent bumps on heads while making sure that the child who is sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high.
If you're looking to keep your children's bedroom furniture in style, consider choosing a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This will not only add a chic touch to your child's bedroom and provide plenty of storage space for all the books, toys and other knickknacks that they might need.
Some bunks can be expanded from a bed to a futon. This lets your kids utilize 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 type of bunk bed is great if you have enough space and your kids are old enough to manage the extra sleeping surface.
If you do not have the space to fit a traditional bunk bed look into a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are placed across the corner of your child's rooms, which leave the remaining space for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while in their beds. This will help them focus and develop good habits during study time.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are perfect for kids who want to sleep separately but don't have the space to have two bedrooms. Most of our beds come with a ladder to make it easier for kids to reach the top bunk. This is more secure than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed which could be dangerous. Children should only climb up onto the top bunk if they are mature enough to climb safely, which typically happens when they reach six years old.
Although many parents are enticed to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we would suggest selecting beds that have angled ladders for more security and ease of use. These ladders are more comfortable to hold and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, kids put their feet on the rungs one at atime and then climb up until they reach the top bunk. Consider a ladder that has anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to allow children to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we have several different types of stairs that can be permanently fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs have a railing that surrounds the stairs to ensure safety and an extra wide tread to avoid slips and falls. For a more stylish look, consider a set of stairs with built-in storage drawers, which are ideal for keeping your kids' rooms organized and neat.
Another way to save space is to choose loft beds that don't connect to the bottom bunk using an elevated ladder and leaves plenty of space beneath for children to play or sleep. The loft and bunk beds often resemble a fun treehouse, which makes them an excellent choice for children who love playing outdoors. Some of our bunk beds and lofts come with a slide for an extra touch of fun.
Extra Storage
Many bunk and loft beds offer additional storage options to help kids keep their rooms tidy and clean. They can store clothes, books toys, and other items vertically, thereby saving floor space. These beds are compatible with both modern and traditional bedroom styles. Pottery Barn Kids has a wide selection of twin over full beds that are perfect for the room of your child and their needs.
A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is a simple way to add extra storage to your kiddo's bunk bed.

The drawers are mounted on unidirectional casters that make it simple for kids to open and close them. This is a great choice for kids who share a room. It helps keep each other's belongings away from one another.
This Maxtrix loft bed also has a built-in desk and an hutch to create a practical study nook. The solid wooden desk can be easily pulled out from under the bed, and folded back up when it is not in use. This creates more room in the bedroom to play.

Fun Slide
The fun of a bunk bed for kids can be enhanced with the addition of slide. Children love to race down from the top bunk. The excitement stimulates active and imaginative play, making it much easier to get them up and ready for the night's sleep.
Bunk beds with slide are a great option for growing families and shared rooms. Kids can race one another up the ladder and then take turns sliding down the slide and bring hours of entertainment to their space.
