Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Look for models that have sturdy foundations, and mattress supports to avoid gaps or areas where children can become trapped or entangled.
The method by which the bed is accessed is also important. Bunk beds are generally 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 space. Bunk beds for children are a great option to free up space in a small space or attic. They also offer the comfort and style. Most bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your kids can share a bed while still having their own space. A bunk bed for three is a great option, especially if you plan to use the bottom bunk as an office or playroom during the day.
The majority of bunk beds come with an entryway or ladder built into the frame. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet above the ceiling for safety reasons. This will prevent bumping heads and ensure that the child who sleeps on the top bunk does not sleep too high.
If you're looking to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style look into a wooden bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a stylish accent to your child's bedroom but also provide ample 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 allows your children to make use of the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime, and then pull out the top futon for an incredibly comfortable sleeping area at night. This kind of bunk bed is ideal for those who have plenty of space and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface.
If you do not have enough space for a traditional bunk bed think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are positioned in the corner of the room. This leaves space for other furniture such as shelves or dressers. Some bunks also have beds that have desks attached, which makes it simple for your little kids to work while lying in bed. This helps them remain focused during study time and encourages good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are an ideal solution for children who want to be able to sleep in separate rooms but don't have enough space to have two separate rooms. Most of our beds come with an incline to make it easier for kids to access the top bunk. This is safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which could be dangerous. Kids should only attempt to climb up onto the top bunk if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which typically happens when they are at least six years old.
Many parents are attracted by the straight ladders on bunk beds, but we suggest angle ladders to improve the safety and ease of use. These ladders are easier to grip and provide a more pleasant experience. To climb, children simply set their feet on each rung one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Look for a ladder with anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to help children to grip the ladder as they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we provide many different styles of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs have a railing that surrounds the stairs to ensure safety and also an extra wide tread to avoid accidents and falls. You can select an item with built-in drawers to give it an attractive appearance. This is a great choice to keep your child's bedroom clean and organized.
A loft bed without a ladder that connects it to the bottom bunk is another way to save space. This gives more space for kids to play in and sleep on. These bunk beds and lofts typically resemble a treehouse, making them an ideal choice for children who love playing in the outdoors. Some of our bunk and loft beds come with an optional slide to add an extra touch of excitement.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds offer additional storage options to aid children in keeping their rooms tidy. These beds utilize vertical space to store clothes books, toys, and more, without taking up floor space. These beds work well with both traditional and modern bedroom styles. Pottery Barn Kids has a numerous twin over full beds that are perfect for your child's room and their needs.
The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers is a great option as a storage solution to the bunk beds your child sleeps in. It features two large drawers to store clothing and footwear, bedtime essentials, and other items. The drawers come with unidirectional casters that make it easy for children to open and close them. This is an excellent option for children who share a room, as it helps to keep the belongings of one another out of reach.
This Maxtrix loft features a built-in desk and hutch to create an study area. The solid wood desk for kids easily pulls out from underneath the bed, and folds up when not in use, preserving space in the room to play. It's a smart solution for children who love to make crafts all day long or use their computer for homework assignments.
The bottom bed on this Maxtrix bunk can be turned into a comfortable sofa when it's not time to sleeping. This is a great choice for kids who like to invite their friends to sleepovers, or for parents who want to make space in their guest room. This twin futon is also a great choice for children who are transitioning from cribs to regular beds.

There are also options that include a storage trundle and ladder for guests to sleep over and it is possible to accommodate the evolving requirements of a family in one bedroom.
Fun Slide
A slide can enhance the enjoyment of a children's bunk bed. Children love to race down from the top bunk and the excitement encourages activity and imaginative play, making it much easier to get up and ready to go to sleep at night.
Bunk beds with slides are a great option for families with growing children and shared rooms. Kids can race up the ladder and slide down the slide, bringing hours of entertainment to their room.
