Kids Bunk Bed: What Nobody Is Discussing
Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space and save money on separate rooms. Find beds with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or areas where children could get stuck or caught.
The method by which the bed can be accessed is also important. Bunk beds are usually accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders use less space than standard ladders that are vertical.
Space-Saving Design
Bunk beds are an excellent way to maximize space in a tiny room. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or the smallest room in your home, bunk beds for kids will help you save floor space, without losing any style or comfort. The majority of bunk beds are twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your children can share a bed while having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is an excellent option, especially in the event that the lower bunk will be used as a playroom or office during the day.
Most bunks come with ladders built into the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. The ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling to ensure safety. This will prevent bumps on heads and to ensure that the child who is sleeping on the top bunk isn't high.
If you want to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style look into an oak bunk bed with stairs. This not only provides an extra stylish touch to your children's room however, it also offers ample storage for every book, toy and things they might need to stow away.
Some bunks can also be converted from a bed to a futon. This allows your children to use the lower bunk bed as a couch during the day and Bunk Bed For Kids then slide out the top futon to create an incredibly comfortable sleeping area at night. This type of bunk is perfect for rooms with a lot of space and your children are old enough to handle the additional sleeping space.
If you do not have enough space for a traditional bunk bed, think about a corner bunk or loft. These beds are placed across the corner of your kids rooms, which leave the remaining space for other furniture such as shelves or dressers. Some bunks also have beds that have desks that are attached, making it easy for your little ones to do homework while sitting up in their bed. This will help them stay focused during the study period and helps them develop good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are ideal for children who wish to sleep separately but don't have enough room to create two separate bedrooms. A lot of our bunk beds are equipped with a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb up to the top of the bed. This is safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which can be risky. Children should only climb the top bunk when they can do it safely. This usually happens at least six years of age.
While many parents are tempted to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we would suggest selecting beds with angled ladders to increase safety and convenience. These ladders are easier to grasp and provide a more comfortable experience. To climb, kids place their feet on the rungs in a sequence and then move upwards until they reach top bunk. For added safety, choose a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps and hand hole cutouts that make it easier for children to hold onto while they climb.
If you're seeking an all-time solution there are a myriad of styles of stairways that can be permanently mounted to the frame of a bunk bed. These stairs feature a railing that surrounds the stairs to ensure safety and also a larger tread to prevent slips and falls. To give a more attractive appearance, you can opt for the stairs that have built-in storage drawers. They are ideal for keeping your children's rooms tidy and neat.
