Kids Bunk Bed – A Great Way to Maximize Space

kids bedroom Furniture bunk beds are ideal for maximising space and save money on separate rooms. Look for models that have solid foundations and mattress supports to stop gaps or spaces in which children could become stuck or trapped.

Another factor to consider is how the bed is accessible: bunks are usually equipped with ladders or stairs and angled ladders take less space than traditional vertical ones.

Space-Saving Design

Bunk beds are the perfect way to make the most of a tiny space. If you’re looking to furnish an attic bedroom or the small space in your home, bunks for kids will help you save floor space, without losing any style or comfort. Most bunk beds offer twin over full or twin over queen configurations so your children can sleep side-by-side while enjoying their own space. A bunk bed for three is also an ideal option, especially when you intend to use the bottom bunk as a playroom or office during the daytime.

Most bunks have a ladder built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. To ensure safety the ladder’s height should be no higher than 5 to 6 feet from the ceiling. This will prevent bumps on heads while making sure that the child sleeping on the top bunk isn’t high up.

This kind of bunk is great for rooms with a lot of space and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping space.

Kids should only attempt to climb on top bunks if they are mature enough to climb safely, which is usually when they are at least six years old.

These ladders offer a smoother climbing experience, and are also easier to grasp. To climb up, kids simply put their feet on each rung one at a and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. To ensure security, you should consider a ladder with grooved anti-slip steps and hand hole cutouts that allow kids to hold onto while they climb.
